Raze stood on the stone platform, taking in the vast landscape that stretched before him in every direction. His kingdom. The Board's simulation of territory he would govern, defend, and develop throughout his time at Elmbridge Academy.
The terrain was diverse, rolling hills transitioning to dense forest in the east, rocky outcroppings marking the northern border, open plains spreading south, and what appeared to be a river cutting through the western section. Strategic variety that offered both opportunities and challenges depending on how resources were allocated.
But the platform itself was spartan. A single stone building stood at the center, barely large enough to house ten people comfortably let alone the thirty who'd committed to his kingdom. No defensive structures, no storage facilities, no amenities beyond bare stone walls and a roof.
