We stepped through what used to be the reikling siege camp, the once imposing mass of bloodthirsty blue monsters lying smothered in its own ashes by my will, the prompt retribution doing little to make up for the many ruined farmhouses and utterly pillaged fields of Morrowind-borne crops behind it.
