Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The trenches of Skaro serve as a claustrophobic battleground, their labyrinthine passages lined with propped-up corpses and reinforced by sandbag barriers. The atmosphere is thick with tension, the air filled with the acrid scent of gunpowder and the distant echoes of artillery fire. The trenches symbolize the war’s unending cycle, where even the dead are repurposed to sustain the illusion of strength. The locked door in the trench wall becomes a focal point of hope and danger, as it offers a potential path into the dome but also guards the Kaleds’ ruthless efficiency. The trenches’ volatility is on full display as the gas attack erupts, the ragtag militiamen ambush, and the Kaled soldiers intervene, forcing a fracture in the group.
