Red Meadow

A field of poppies surrounds Acala, the immmovable single mound that stands in the center of the war plain. The poppies are said to be stained red with the sins of the past, present and furture. Some believe they are stained red for the innocent lives that have been lost, or will be lost. Whichever belief you choose, the Red Meadow is a morbid and joyless place, mainly because it reminds anyone of death and destruction. You must cross it to get to the path that will lead you to the Citadel though. If you wish to enter.
