The corrosive fog of Barbarus swirled and retreated, as if repelled by the grim presence that emerged from the shadowed treeline. Morrigan stood in the village square, a pale giant in armor streaked with ash and patina, its respirator issuing a steady, mechanical hiss. Villagers froze where they stood, a wooden mallet thudding to the mud. She lifted her enormous, rune-etched scythe, not in threat, but as a standard.
