Thirteen years ago…
Deepstone Village was a small settlement located on the wide plains of Grimbarrow Territory, within the Fortress Nation of Duranzia. Positioned in northeastern Grimbarrow, it lay close to the eastern corridor of the Black Demon Rift.
Consisting of about forty households, this hamlet was spread out across a vast area of agricultural fields and prairies.
Most of the villagers made their living through farming, with the village's main crops being Duranzian barley and wheat which were used for making beer and bread.
In addition, they grew various vegetables.
A group of Hunting Knights was stationed in the area, tasked with raiding the Black Demon Rift to secure valuable resources like rare metals and treasure.
