Chapter 326 - Back at the gates

The city of Higrove was situated at the southeastern edges of the Kingdom, with only a few days' distance to the southern shoreline. To the west, the seemingly endless Forest stretched all across where the eyes could see, whilst to its east you were met with what was simply nicked the 'Plains'. 

A massive, ever-stretching field of plains that, just with the forest to the east, was seen as eternal, never-ending. Whilst this was obviously not true, it was a fact that besides the vague silhouette of a hillside at the far-away distance, only the slithering road and the riverside to the north was the only spectacle for the eyes of the occasional traveler.

Still, despite that, it wasn't barren, away from the prying eyes of the city walls life always found a way. Small, miniature huts stretched along the broad riverside, where a variety of folk resembling a mixture between humans and fish lived their lives.
