Worshipping a Holy Tree

Sunpeak Town

Aeliana hadn't much thought about her territory before she arrived at the town's eastern gate with her appearance hidden under a black hooded cloak.

But upon seeing the bleak situation within her town, her heart was slightly stirred by emotions.

Sunpeak Town used to be a prosperous town under her mother's rule.

Given its upward growth and rapid development, it could have turned into a major city of trade, becoming a reputable place in the kingdom's central region within a few years.

But before it could reach the peak of its prosperity, the town was ruined by her.

She was to blame for its current state.

The stone walls were filled with cracks and filthy goblin blood stains that had not been washed or maintained.

Overgrown weeds had obscured the footpaths.

The buildings looked aged and abandoned, covered in weeds, moss, wood decay, and even cracks. Only the doors and windows showed some maintenance.
