Situation
The battlefield at Crow’s Rest pulses with a blood-red glow, drawing treasure hunters, scholars, and thieves alike. Veterans speak of fallen comrades walking the ruins at dawn; not as vengeful spirits, but as if seeking meaning in their deaths. The Five Lords—victors of the war—seek peace with their former enemies, offering lands to war widows and descendants. They vow to end the lucrative looting of blood-soaked artifacts… or at least three of the five do.
