Ulstern is a tranquil village nestled on the shores of Lake Ahnen, where the gentle lapping of water against the shore often mingles with the sounds of nature and community. The villagers, known for their hard work and deep sense of camaraderie, thrive by harvesting golden fields of crops and fishing the abundant, crystal-clear waters of the lake. However, peace was shattered one fateful night when troops from Glurns launched a brutal, unexpected raid. The attack left many dead or wounded, while others fled into the nearby woods. The once vibrant village lay in ruins, the air thick with smoke and the scent of charred wood. This devastating event, marked by the rapid spread of fires that consumed homes and hearts alike, came to be known as “The Night of Flames.”
Despite the tragedy, the survivors of Ulstern vowed never to forget that night. With unyielding resilience, they banded together to rebuild their lives, working tirelessly from dawn until dusk. Gradually, they returned to Ulstern, planting new crops in the fertile soil, repairing buildings with care, and welcoming new families into their tightly-knit community. Though the conflict between Glurns and Earlsdale continues to cast a shadow, the villagers maintain a spirit of hope and determination. They hold onto their courage, striving towards a brighter future, united in their efforts to restore what was lost and create a new, thriving community.
The rebuilt village now stands as a testament to their unwavering spirit. The sight of children playing by the lake, elders sharing stories of the past, and the collective hum of daily life signal a rebirth. Vibrant festivals celebrate their endurance, and each new dawn brings with it the promise of peace and prosperity. The memory of The Night of Flames serves not only as a somber reminder of what they have endured but also as a beacon guiding their resolve to protect their home and each other.
