When Paul and Claire arrived at the army camp outside the city, they were met with an array of tents and buildings matched by daunting weapons of war; siege machines were plentiful, and tens of thousands of armored soldiers were walking around.

Paul and Claire navigated through the vast, elegant tents surrounding the command area. Their destination was the registration area, a tent marked on their map, symbolizing the adventure that awaited them.

Thankfully, the command area of the camp was an instanced area, meaning that every player/party was in their own version of the camp.
