 A grey and shapeless sky stretchs across the narrow gap between the unseen and unknown walls. The oddly colored moon glared down upon Tristan's face through the macabre skylight He flutters his eyes trying to focus as the groans of waking leave his lips.

What little sunshine there is left in the world struggles to bleed through the thick smog that covers the city. Cold winds ravish the streets as shambling figures meander amongst the rubble and the detritus. Broken figures clinging to tattered rags for warmth, gathering around the few wood fire drums. In the distance the thunder of far off artillery cracks and shakes the ground, creating miniature cascades of dust and particulate to fall from the crevices in the few standing ruins left after the preliminary bombardment of the city.Two stoic soldiers stand clad in black armor atop a high vantage point with cold, idle rebreathers obscuring thei
