Due to my being too busy with things IRL, Red Sun is officially dead. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The northern border of the human kingdom of Talbor is established and protected entirely by a vast ridge of jagged grey mountains which from the foothills look like razors slashing at the sky. Over the centuries, many an army has tried to push through these mountains, but they have proven themselves to be so well-fortified that no army in existence could ever dream of pushing through the endless wall of rock. That is, until said army approached the North Valley. The North Valley is the only gap in the Tartarus mountains, a long and winding path that cuts through the wall of rock and leads to the green heartlands of Talbor. It is protected at its end facing the Wilderness by Fort Imperius, a fort built around an enormous gate forty feet high. It is manned constantly by a standing guard of two-thousand men.
From the top of the tower where the longbowmen watched, they saw the wave of red moving towards them across the green plains, and the trail of smoke which followed it. As the regiment of three-thousand men marched towards Fort Imperius, they burned everything behind them, leaving an expanse of blazing trees and charred grass in their wake. To the men atop the fort, it appeared as if Satan’s Armies were approaching themselves. At their request, Sir Frederick, the fort’s commander, climbed the steps to the top of the wall and approached the Head Bowman, a tall halfling man, with a cynical glare in his eyes. He was an arrogant-looking man, with perfectly-polished steel armor, long red hair which trailed down his back, and a long blue cape with the symbol Talbor, a ram’s head, imprinted on it in gold.
“What is it?” Sir Frederick said to the Bowman.
“Look out there, sir.” he replied “It appears as if we are about to go under siege.” Frederick looked out across the plains and saw the approaching armada.
“Hm. Look at that.” he said “It appears as we are about to have a fight on our hands. I will alert the men to go into lockdown and have another regiment of bowmen join you. I’m sure it won’t be much of a problem. No army in Tithe can break through these walls.” The bowman saluted, and Sir Frederick went off down the steps, where he alerted the rest of the soldiers to go into siege mode. Dozens of longbowmen moved to their arrow slits along the inside of the fifty-foot wall and a heavy metal portcullis lowered on each side of the wooden doors of the gate. A second regiment of archers were sent to the top. The soldiers still inside were commanded to armor up, but were not told to report to their internal battlestations on account that no “band of pyromaniac highwaymen” would ever bust through an impenetrable stone wall.
(appropriate opening music)
As the Head Bowman greeted his new regiment of thirty archers and directed them to their places on the wall, however, he began to notice that there were not one regiment of soldiers moving towards the fort, but three, the other two about two miles farther away and significantly larger than the first. He looked towards his men as the alarm bells sounded inside; this was certainly more than a band of highwaymen. As he stared out at the closest army, he saw a flourishing of metal, and a sound that resembled a blast of lightning in the distance. Puffs of smoke rose from the army as a row of large black dots moved to the front of the army. Louder blasts of thunder roared through the air as the Bowman watched large balls of metal fly head-on into the wall. The entire structure shook, and the Bowman felt a blunt pain in his stomach as he violently rocked forwards. The next thing he knew, he was laying at the base of the wall with a snapped neck, his cold, dead eyes staring up at the blue sky filling with smoke and fire. As the black smog filled the sky, it appeared as if the sun had lost its color and turned a deep blood red.
