The Crofts

The Siege of Hadria had been months in the making, but it had been a long, torturous wait for Gemma and Jenna Croft and their small battalion. In the weeks leading up to the siege, the small group of soldiers had done their best to prepare for the looming war. They had sharpened their weapons, strengthened their armor, and sharpened their minds for the battle ahead.

But it was in vain. When the day came, the massive army from the East stormed the city and overwhelmed their meager defenses. Gemma and Jenna fought with all of their might against the relentless tide of soldiers, but their efforts were to no avail. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, the small group of defenders was humiliated in the face of their vastly outnumbering foe.

The walls of Hadria had been its saving grace, however. The sheer height and strength of the walls were a formidable barrier against the onslaught of the enemy. In spite of their efforts, the warriors from the East were unable to breach the walls and take the city.

But the siege continued. Month after month, the army from the East battered at the walls of Hadria, attempting to break them down and gain entry to the city. They launched fireballs and catapults against the walls and brought an onslaught of arrows against the defenders. But still, the walls held firm.

The citizens of Hadria were resilient during this time of crisis. They kept their spirits up, relying on a shared sense of loyalty to their home and its ancient traditions. Many of the citizens prayed to their gods and ancestors, asking for the strength and courage to withstand the siege.
