Guided Story
Imagine it's the year 1158. You're on a hilltop where knights once polished their armor and flags flapped in the breeze. Look up at the remnants of the towers. That's where guards would watch for approaching enemies. Behind you, the valley stretches out, once a crucial trade route. This castle wasn't just a military post; it was a bustling hub for merchants and travelers. Feel the cool breeze? It whispers of feasts held here, of intrigues and alliances forged within these walls. The quiet of the ruins is deceiving—this place was once alive, and you're standing right in the midst of its story.
