*** Location: Aimsir Citadel ***
Time: 2st to 4th of Summer, 129

As the days pass from the first reports of the incursion of Chaosium and the Red Knight reach those in the Capital and trade cities, reports of nightmarish beetles and insects the size of dogs roll and fly through the widening breach that has been opened. The stench of burning and charred chitin is able to be smelled miles away.

The dirt surrounding the Aimsir Citadel, previously stained with the blood of the dead guards and scouts caught in the grasp of the Red Knight, now starts to take on a dark red hue. The plants that survive the hostile ground have twisted and deformed into shades of their former luster, and raising spires of dark red stone jut into the sky, criss-crossing into walls that surround the site. Anyone caught too close to the site that were once turned away now get dragged into the dark site, and screams and wails are carried on the wind.

The once white tower that stretched up into the sky now looms with dark and stormy clouds that surround the spire, bathing it in a dark and sinister glow. Braziers that burn flesh and the dead creatures that fail to make the journey from Chaosium dot the area, and talk of other more twisted creatures are said to lurk in the shadows where the light doesn't reach.
