The Fall of Varethas

The city burned.

The Imperial forces retaliated with full strength, their siege engines hurling flaming projectiles into the streets. Varethas was collapsing under fire and blood.

Reinhardt, wounded but standing, regrouped with Selene and Isolde. "We can't win this fight. We have to fall back."

Selene's eyes flashed. "If we run now, where do we go?"

Aldric's forces were pushing inward. Every second lost was another step closer to defeat.

Then came the final blow—the gates of Varethas shattered.

The city had fallen.
