It came out of nowhere, the ground split apart like a rotten vineapple. Pillars of earth surged out to the sky, like thorns on a stabweed. The Calamity.
The lucky? The lucky were turned to ash. But you? You survived. You were out near The Wild, not even the Calamity could chew that place up. Too raw, too savage.
You remember what was always said. In case of trouble, go to The Bastion.
Now you grab your weapon, calm your nerves with some spirits. It's going to be a long walk.
