All at once, the gathered beastmen of various ethnicities fell into a somber silence, their expressions a mix of grief and solemnity.
"Only yesterday, many of us were left mourning the loss of family members," one of the elders began, his voice heavy with sorrow.
"Indeed, this conflict should never have escalated to war," Logan added, his tone tinged with regret and frustration. "It was the Duskin tribe's ambition that sparked this catastrophe. They aimed to overpower our Silver Mane people and annex our lands. To achieve their goals, they manipulated the four chieftains, forging a dubious alliance to wage war against us."
The air thickened with tension as he continued, "This reckless ambition led to a tragic loss of life. Many in our tribe have suffered the heartbreak of losing loved ones, I, too, have lost friends I grew up with." His voice dropped to a whisper, resonating with the pain of his personal loss.
