[Archalen Andares]

The camp was completed hastily and without reservation or wait. Foul creatures of the night and of the dead roamed here in the ruins it was told, and Iternus had no wish to play a part to their games. Shortly after the meeting with Colin the senior diplomat and ex legionnaire ordered the fortifications for the small enclosed wooden camp to be set up. Under the still smoky skies they toiled, sharping logs for the wooden wall, or perhaps erecting tents and setting torches around the perimeter. The first thing however, was to secure and make safe all the food and the supplies they had brought.

By nightfall it was finished, a hastily erected outpost of order in the smoldering and ash filled city. It was near the gates with their back to the large stone that made the cites outer gates. A ring of torches encircled the sphere of the campsite, with the candles about ten feet out from the wall to maintain safety. It would not do for a second fire to catch onto the wooden walls of the camp here. One fire for Archadoon in recent times was enough after all. Guards were also stationed. Granted, these were normally caravan guards that had little actual combat experience other then chasing off the odd raider or petty thief gang.

Had they known what was only a short distance before them in the heart of the city, they would have brought more, and guards of more experience.

But sadly, they were here. Every guard was put in eyesight of each other and they were grouped in twos. The camp wasn't big enough to require so many, and they covered the perimeter handily all while being only a small distance from each other. If trouble arrived, they would respond in force. The darkening was long and stressful, but somehow the world of Telath kept spinning and the dawn finally came; much to the relief of the gaurdsmen. Upon the morning, aide could commence and the relief of the citizens of Archadoon could start.

The first thing one would see as they approached the camp was the small opening into its wooden walls. Guarded by two on each side it was the only way in and out. Inside the wooden circle were various tents holding all kinds of goods, namely food, livestock, and living essentials. A large banner that read: "Imperia Stands With Archadoon!" Could be seen in the entrance way painted in black on white canvas. A single worker took down the names of those who entered so it could be sure the goods inside were rationed out and not abused. Once they came in to get their daily meat,bread,water and other items they would have to wait for the marrow. Pre-wrapped packages of essentials were already inside ready to be given, to easy the process and save time.

Iternus, the senior member of the relief expedition could be seen upon request of Archadoons citizens to help out any particular issues they had. When he wasn't busy he was writing letters and status updates to Archalen Esgalvith, Thane of Imperia who put together this helping expedition.

Currently, he was desperately trying to request men at arms to combat the undead presence.
