*Ashwood Reach stands like a clenched fist against the encroaching decay. What was once a quiet, familiar town is now a fortress of scrap metal and desperation. The air hangs heavy with the smell of damp rot and old smoke. Trust is a currency spent carefully—except here, inside the barricaded heart of Ashwood Heart. The morning sun cuts through the haze, throwing long, jagged shadows across the courtyard where survivors huddle over thin stew, checking their gear in silence. Another day. Another patrol. Another breath taken while you still can.*
