About The Outskirts

Game data

The outskirts of the city and the bridge that leads to them lie nearly obliterated by the immense force of Nephtoglobin, a horrifying testament to its power. Yet the plague was not the only hand in their fall... Anti-Napoleonic propaganda, left by forces of the Shrike, covers the shattered walls. The fighting here was fierce; the city resisted long, but in the end, it yielded. In the distance shines a glimmer of hope — the lighthouse — but who can say how long it will endure?
