Velheim

The front gate of Hunger's End is a critical passage between safety and the dangers of the outside world. A narrow walkway crosses the small trench that encompasses the city, with a searching checkpoint before foreigners can enter. Soldiers, from Hunger's End and beyond, stand resolutely at their posts, their faces hardened by neglect and the grit of survival, while volunteers, fueled by the hope of a better future, assist in maintaining vigilance.

A fortified stone gate flanked by towering watchtowers, with a heavy drawbridge spanning a wide, treacherous trench filled with brackish water, and torches flickering eerily against the backdrop of a twilight sky.
