In Cheydinhal
"We're here! We're here!" The young Imperial said with joy. Faolan peeked over Ralof to get a glimpse. Cheydinhal stood stoutly, its high and thick stone walls raised from the Jerall mountains like jagged teeth. Faolan marvelled at its purple slated roofs and towers. Ralof looked back at his son, his smile made the tiresome march worth while.

"Come, we're still some bit away. Northern scouts could easily still pick us off." The Imperial said as he glanced back the direction they came. As the trio winded their way onto the Blue road, where dozens of stragglers stumbled back towards the city. The Count of Cheydinhal, a proud looking old Dunmer named Andel Indarys, who had ruled since the Oblivion crisis was posed on horseback outside the city walls in his fine blue velvet outfit. Ralof noticed that guards and citizens alike were busy building palisades, digging ditched and trying to stock up on grain an other vital commodities for a siege.

Faolan seemed to make eye contact with the stern Count, be it only for a quick moment, but Faolan pulled away and scampered through the city gate. All along the streets were newly erected tents serving the soldiers who arrived and also as a field hospital for the wounded.

The three looked around fruitlessly for shelter, every tent was occupied by someone. They eventually turned to the Cathedral, which stretched far above the city walls. The inside of the cathedral was turned into a hospital, so they were forced to look elsewhere. Faolan spotted a small alcove in they city walls which was used to shelter barrels, but they ejected the barrels and settled in. The space was small, but big enough that they could all lie down in it, with a clear view of the road up to the castle.

"I'll report to my battalion, or whats left of it. I will return soon." The Imperial said before making off. Ralof got a fire going in the space, using an empty barrell as kindling. Faolan was content resting as he watched the commotion on the streets.
