Cycle 5, in the Month of Imperos, in the Season of Autumn,
Era II of the Celestine Mandate,
Era XIV Post Fractum
Two cycles had passed since the first stones were set for the structures that would make up the new Autumnus. During this time, the buildings that would make up the support structures for the garrison were raised first. A barracks, mess hall, command bunker, drill square, temporary armory, blacksmith forge, and temporary stables had all taken shape though only the command bunker was fully completed with the barracks having at least a foundation, all walls, and a roof completed. The other structures were still in various states of construction.
The civilian structures that had been raised were far less having been given a far lower priority than the garrison structures. The only fully completed civilian structure was a tavern that had just the bare minimum essentials to enable it to run nightly and dispense brew to the hard working construction crew and garrison not on duty. This was fortunate for without this tavern, the hardest thing for the garrison commander would be keeping the orcs from killing each other out of boredom. A few other foundation of yet to be started buildings had been laid but most interest has been given to the garrison buildings so nothing beyond foundations could be seen of these new planned structures.
The commander had not seen any action from the Imperials since he ordered the Autumnus and Northern Fronts on high alert two cycles ago but he did not let his guard down keeping patrols running constantly to keep him informed of movements made by the enemy.
