Escape from Whitestone Hold

When tensions flare into an-all out rebellion, Sapphira's hometown is turned into a city-wide warzone. The Magistrate are ruthless in restoring order within the blood-soaked walls, catching civilians in the crossfire. Hope is scarce. What more is there to do?

This is a spinoff backstory for a D&D campaign based in the world from "Paladins: Champions of the Realm." Plenty of intellectual rights shenanigans here, including with the cover image, but it's all in fun. I kept the D&D theme of "the characters could choose to explore the wrong area of the world and waste a bunch of time on a useless endeavor" as an unnecessary rule on myself, which took more effort than I expected, but I still enjoy the story that resulted. I wrote this rough draft with the *intention* to go back and polish it someday... Buuuut eh, I probably never will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
