Betrayal shatters the fragile alliance before it can solidify...

In Fragile Alliance, Tarian struggles to hold together a coalition already strained by mistrust. A forged signature surfaces, the elves demand answers, and the dwarves reject every accusation. Each word spoken risks tearing the pact apart, and when suspicion sharpens, even the strongest bonds may break.

When trust wavers, shadows creep in, and betrayal poisons the room... Tarian must wield every skill he has to keep the alliance from crumbling.

🎵 Creeping provides the perfect backdrop for this tale of suspicion and fracture. Its stalking blues tones echo the tension of every accusation and every silence that pushes the coalition closer to collapse.

Behind the Scenes:
As I approached this chapter, I wanted to heighten the pressure on an already fractured alliance. Revisiting the draft, I realized the foundation was stronger than I’d first assumed. It just needed sharper tension and more polish to bring the cracks to the surface.
