Preparations
The beast tide progressed, and the humans defended. The storm clouds still flashed ominously in the sky, and the Mana seemed to constantly be permeated by that ever-present wrongness that was the existence of the Skyblight Harbinger.
The humans within the Citadel, that is, the civilians, stayed inside their homes. No one tried to go outside, even those people who were too daring for their own good seemed content to stay within the safety of their homes, even though each of them was acutely aware of the fact that if the beasts truly managed to break into the Citadel, the walls of their homes would offer limited protection.
Military vehicles moved through the streets, most of them heading for the Eastern Wall. Some carried troops, and others carried arms.
