The ice road leading deeper into the frozen lands starts flattening out and resembles a mud road, under the blue ice. Through the ice you see thousands of footprints frozen in time, this must be the same path the invading army took.
The surrounding area is spotted with houses, some burnt, some intact, but all covered with the ice. The keep is off in the distance, but looks like it can be reached late evening. The buildings become more numerous, a many of them destroyed. A shoulder high wall is in the distance. It looks as if the road went through a gate and by two small buildings. The once ornate cobblestone wall is destroyed for most of the side, apparently the army came through here.
Passing the wall reveals carnage the likes most have never seen. Bodies lay everywhere, torn in pieces and some have been reduced to pudding. Ice covers the battlefield, the ramparts, siege engines, everything. The keep is on the other side of this charnel pit.
