Douloros

Surrounded by villages that are more prosperous than it, Douloros is the latest to fall to Arx Tyrrim's empire-building, although they have gone willingly. Rather than a meager life of scratching out meals from turnip harvests and grainy oat gruel, or 'enjoying' the spoils of bitter monster meat, the townsfolk have chosen to become shock troops as the kingdom of central Reverzel expands. Given new weapons, functional armor, and actual meals, the town is revitalized - its dirges of starvation replaced with lusty war ballads, its empty-eyed populace now ready to unleash their spite on their neighbors and take revenge for being denied the life that they had always wanted.
