Thoren had already dismissed his mount before making his way up the dune on foot. The moment he sensed the disturbance; he knew the source of the noise lay just beyond the crest.
The wind carried faint echoes shouts, clashes, and something far more primal.
Violence.
"Hmm…"
Reaching the top, he paused.
What greeted him caused his eyes to widen slightly.
A battlefield.
Dust billowed into the air, forming a hazy curtain that blurred the chaos below. Deep craters scarred the sand, as though something powerful had repeatedly slammed into the ground.
In the midst of it all, a group of humans dressed in worn tattered clothing, some with broken armor fought desperately against a pack of beasts.
Just then, a notification appeared before Thoren's eyes.
