Fragruss comes into sight from around a ridge to the left.  The great city stands proudly, set into the mountain with its titanic bridge over the river.  The sun lies in the east, behind the mountains, wreathing the city in a dark umbra.  The shadows of the mountains are visible as we look into the plains, like an enormous set of teeth on the ground.  As I look to the west, the shadows seem to get darker and lengthen.  An army sits only about a quarter of a league away from the start of the bridge, like an enormous rectangular shadow on the Vrakkjar Plains.

“I’m here, Titus,” I mutter.
