Your guards enter the domain of House Dura. It is a wonderful village full of surprises, merriment and shopping. It's also surrounded by sunless woods and giant murderous wolves.

This includes quite a few more areas to explore and events to play out! Hannah's also recorded some Lyre tracks and added in new combat tracks to jam to while your guards punch wolves in the face. Thanks for checking it out! It's getting cold where we are, and that means the holidays are around the corner. I hope some merriment begins to creep into your lives early this year!🌲🌲🌲[/p]
