Editing Esthelm (section)

=== Post-Destruction ===
The city center with the densest building structures became a maze where darkness lingered. In that danger zone, monsters were starting to appear (like a young [[Florist|[Florist] woman]]) while the [[Undead|dead started rising]], climbing out of the sewers, and digging themselves out of the ground. The sewers had broken in places, while many buildings had caved in during the fire.<ref name="3.17T">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/27/3-17-t/ Chapter 3.17 T]</ref>

None of the human survivors left the city because of the harsh weather conditions, fears of being attacked by Goblin raiders, and the long distance to the nearest settlements. (''The next large human city to the North seems to be [[Celum]], although smaller villages/towns exist.''). The outskirts and walls were the most populated areas. Survivors there were able to band together in camps and fought each other over supplies.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/28/3-18-t/ Chapter 3.18 T]</ref>

Ten days after Esthelm's initial destruction, another vanguard of the [[Reiss|Goblin Lord]] arrived and made their camp outside the city, which stopped the chance of humans escaping the city again. The Goblins would have overrun the city, had [[Toren]] not taken out their [[Necromancers|necromancer]] [Head Shaman].<ref name="3.17T" />

Meanwhile, [[Ylawes Byres]], a gold-rank adventurer, accompanied by three bronze-rank adventurers helped to gather the populace and fight back the remainder of the Goblin Lord's Army. Another helpful group acting independently were the Redfang Elite Warriors who fought against the Goblin Lord's forces and left after the army was defeated.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/03/3-20-t/ Chapter 3.20 T]</ref>
