Nightfall stretches long shadows across the warrior camp. The ring of steel being sharpened mixes with the low murmur of men seeking rest. Then, from the stone tower, it comes — the captured witch's cry, slicing through the dark. It's not just a scream; it's a rhythmic, shrill incantation, heavy with an ancient and eerie tone that chills the very air. It holds the camp awake, less by its volume than by the dread of what her chanting might be calling forth from the edges of the world.
