I opened my eyes and found myself in another world.
Swords and magic, spirits and dragons. Afternoon tea parties that began with a single cup of black tea. Romances at the academy spun from letters and fountain pens.
In grand estates, young nobles clad in splendid attire strolled through gardens amid peals of lighthearted laughter. In bustling cities, adventurers hired comrades to slay magic beasts.
Magic tower wizards shuffled to work each morning, rubbing sleepy eyes as they clutched their coffee, while priests in the church next door healed the sick in devotion to the gods' will.
Beautiful and peaceful.
A vibrant, pastoral landscape unfurled not far away.
Yes, not far away at all.
Just beyond the towering walls, solidly built to repel barbaric invaders who dared covet the Empire's territory.
"Ivar, Ivar! Give me a club! I'll smash those cowards' shields flat in one strike!!"
"The gates are open, warriors of Ishkar! The War God calls to you!!"
"For the glory of Doomhelm!!!"
And I was one of those barbarians.
Fuck.
