The Field of Eleven Graves
Centuries before Xanaras, two Zompire armies fought repeatedly over the same stretch of land. Soldiers killed in one battle returned eleven weeks later and often rejoined a war that had never properly ended. Graves accumulated in layers until nobody could agree which burial belonged to which death.
BEYOND THE SHIELD
Centuries before Xanaras, two Zompire armies fought repeatedly over the same stretch of land. Soldiers killed in one battle returned eleven weeks later and often rejoined a war that had never properly ended. Graves accumulated in layers until nobody could agree which burial belonged to which death.
The field eventually became a historical warning about conflicts that survive simply because nobody involved can stay dead. It now lies outside the shield. Some Zompire officers still study the campaign because the tactical records are excellent, which tells outsiders something uncomfortable about Zompire priorities.
