The enemy doesn't launch rocks or fire—they launch propaganda. Expensive paper flutters down like snow over the starving town, each sheet bearing a crude drawing: an open gate, fleeing people, and a roasted pig waiting by the campfire. Dray orders the papers burned, but you can't burn snow when hundreds of desperate townsfolk are already stuffing the promises into their boots. As a child chases drifting paper down an alley, Dray realizes this siege won't be won with swords. The enemy is offering what he cannot: hope. And in a town with no grain left to eat, hope might be the most dangerous weapon of all.
