"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." Ikaris, a genius student admired, exploited, and hated all his life for his brilliance, suddenly finds himself transmigrated into The Forsaken Lands, a fantasy world of myriad species born with the ability to use magic with imagination as their only limit. Alas, this gift carries a curse. The more you use it, the closer you are to death. After thousands of years of decline, the Free Races are fast approaching their demise, their survival threatened by this curse and an enemy that will not rest until it has devoured them all. Literally. Former allies and enemies, prey and predators are now cornered behind a huge wall, forced to collaborate to resist their invader. But can so much resentment and hatred be washed away so easily? Can predators and prey really overcome their instincts in the face of a common foe? Follow him on his journey from an ordinary human to a shining existence that will overturn the order established since the dawn of time. From an innocent soul to a merciless demon. From a human to something else. ----- Discord link: https://discord.gg/d8udP7Q
The first harvest of wood went smoothly. They returned to the village mid-morning loaded to the limit, and most of the new villagers collapsed from exhaustion once they got back to Last Saint Village.
Kellam, Ellie, and the others who had been waiting for them in the village and had only gone to the lake to fetch water helped them unload, and then Nardor went on to give a series of instructions to initiate the palisades' construction. At the request of Ikaris, who put the security of his territory at the top of his list of priorities, he had revised upward the ambitions of the whole project.
The first palisade would form a square of 50 meters on each side, and be 4 meters high. A trench of equivalent depth would be dug around the palisade. Once the palisade was completed, it would be reinforced to become a wooden rampart at least 1 meter thick on which sentries could be posted.
