After their victory at the western stronghold, the resistance forces regrouped and fortified their positions. Elara, Aiden, Roderic, and Thalia knew they had to prepare for the next phase of their campaign. The enemy was regrouping, and they needed to strike decisively to ensure the darkness would not spread further. The central territories were key to their next strategy.
Back at Emberfall, the mood was a mix of cautious optimism and determination. The soldiers were motivated by their recent successes but remained aware of the battles ahead. The war room became the center of planning and preparation, with maps, reports, and strategies spread across the table.
