Rotund, once a thriving village on the southern shore of Lake Ahnensee, is now a shadow of its former self. The lush forests that once provided sustenance and protection have seen better days, and the community that once thrived here has been decimated by a bandit raid. The raid left behind ruins and ashes, with broken walls and charred wood scattered about.
In the years since the raid, no leader has emerged to restore order or rebuild. The survivors, few in number, cling to what remains of their former lives, living in constant fear among the rubble. Some have abandoned hope, while others fiercely battle Troglodyte tribes for control of the village. Nature itself adds to the destruction, with storms battering the crumbling structures, leaving the inhabitants in a state of resigned acceptance and unfulfilled hope.
Among the ruins, wild plants have begun reclaiming the land. Once-tended gardens are now overgrown with weeds and vines. The village well, a lifeline for the community, is now filled with debris, its water undrinkable. Despite the desolation, a stubborn few persist in their efforts to rebuild. They scavenge materials from the wreckage, patching up homes and fortifications as best they can. These resilient individuals keep alive the spirit of Rotund, a testament to human perseverance even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
