Varen's Watch. I joined the Legion to find adventure and excitement and where do they put me? As far from any action as you can get! I'm stationed at some crumbing old bastion that's only claim to fame is related to battles with Reachfolk about five years ago that wrecked this place. I suppose nobody thought the Watch important enough to fix up, because they haven't repaired much of anything.

If we do spot trouble, the captain's orders are quite clear—light the signal fires and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
But with the current state of the Legion, we might be waiting for a long time.

We're under attack! And by Wood Elves of all things! I'm not even sure where they came from or how they got inside the Watch! We're being overwhelmed! I need to—
