South of the East Coast Province.
In recent years, Phelps Port was renowned for its thriving trade and bountiful fisheries.
However, the port was now shrouded in an unprecedented silence and fear, as if the entire world was holding its breath, waiting for some unknown terror to descend.
The docks at Phelps Port were deserted, the normally bustling scene no more. Huge ships sat quietly in the harbor, their sails drooping, ropes gently swaying in the wind.
The water sparkled, yet it seemed unusually desolate. Seagulls circled in the distance, their occasional shrill cries adding a touch of desolation.
"This city is now officially taken over by the Adley Royal Family!"
Every household in the city had their doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, with only faint lights peeking through, and on the streets, apart from the occasional heavy footsteps of patrolling soldiers, almost no other sounds were heard.
