Outside Ye-Rantel, near the edge of the forest.

Unlike the fortress city with its ```Magic Illumination``` of Permanent Light, the outskirts of the city were shrouded in darkness. Though it wasn't pitch-black to the point of not being able to see one's own fingers, it was far from a convenient environment for human activities.

In such a pitch-dark area, a place flickered with faint firelight.

It was a campsite.

A fairly spacious campsite, with sides measuring around twenty meters.

The camp had parked wagons and tents for resting, around which stakes were hammered into the ground, connected by thin cords with bells attached—clearly a design meant to serve as an alarm, indicating whether something was approaching the camp.

At the center of the camp burned a bonfire, the source of the firelight, around which a group of armored adventurers sat.
