“Fort Dawn was meant to be the Adventurer’s Guild’s proud foothold on this continent — our first stronghold in Asterra. Instead, it became a grave. The First Company built her walls, but something drove them off or worse. Now, the Second Company must reclaim what remains. Your task is to land ashore, reach the fort, and re-establish it as our operational base. Expect resistance — the structure’s been abandoned for months, and nature or something worse has likely taken hold. Retrieve any salvageable records, secure the perimeter, and light the beacon atop the hall’s tower once it’s safe. That beacon will signal the rest of our ships to land. Bring back what’s left of the Guild’s honor.” — Rheda Valen, Acting Guildmaster, Frontier Branch
