As the Legion looked upon the 'city' of the Reachman savages, they found it was not the sort of city that one would expect, after being treated to the cramped metropolises of Cyrodiil and High Rock, or even Hammerfell.

This 'city' was built of mud and wood, not stone, although it was large, possibly around the size of a small city in High Rock, like Jehanna to the North. Large Mud Mounds could be seen over the top of the wooden palisade, with wooden buildings only situated at the peak. One of the largest mounds held a very large wooden building, perhaps some sort of temple.

A large, mud brown river wound itself lazily through the city, splitting it on half, coming down from somewhere to the North and then continuing its way South, further into the Reach.

The Reach was relatively flat, they had noticed, once they had made it through the mountain barrier, although it was still rocky and stony.

Even though the Reachmen could clearly see the approaching Legionnaires, they made little move to shore up, or form ranks, as nearly all the armies in Tamriel would have. The children ran inside, but still there was no motion to close the gates.

Perhaps the savages did not know battle tactics, although the way they casually held their stone weapons said otherwise. They simply... weren't afraid of the Legionnaires.

The Reachmen themselves were more intimidating to the Legionnaires, simply because of how strange they seemed to a Legion used to fighting Bretons. The Reachmen's skin was bronzed, their hair black, their bodies thin and strong. However, they were all stripped to the waist, even the women, and they were covered with paint swirled in a variety of patterns, although the most common appeared to be a jumping deer.

They wore pants on their lower halves, appearing to be made of buckskin or fur from an unknown animal. Some had the deer-skull mask that was common of the Forsworn of Skyrim, and there were only a handful of Briarhearts in the army, but the vast majority of them had feathers woven into their long, black locks.

Still, they were far outnumbered by the thousands of men that had been brought with the Legion. It should be a quick battle, ending them and securing their resources.
