Chapter 4

The Falas, 473.  Image prompt: giant convolvulus (Calystegia soldanella) against harbor with burning tower at point.

Barad Nimras and its supporting settlement had never been built to withstand a land-based attack. No threat greater than a wolf pack had ever challenged its few guardians before. None of the Falathrin boats that plied back and forth around the point could do anything to stop the Glamhoth either. It was as much as they could do to hastily get out of range of the enemy's bowfire.

As the Sun sank into red-gold clouds, the ruins of the tower began to burn the same hot color. Soon nothing would be left save rubble for the encroaching bindweed to cover.
