No guild dared launch a full-scale charge under such brutal nighttime conditions.
Two hundred fifty feet away at WarWolf Guild’s temporary outpost, dozens of large braziers were lit all at once, alongside several powerful floodlights that cast bright light across the snowfield, warding off dark creatures drawn close by the shadows.
