The Celestial Wolf Base was situated in the center of five mining districts, a rugged fortress built into the mountainside.
Constructed from massive stone blocks, the fortress stood roughly twenty meters tall, its walls peppered with observation holes and firing slits.
An arrow tower stood at each of the four corners, manned by Werewolf Warriors. The main entrance was a heavy metal gate, its surface engraved with the totem of the Celestial Wolf Civilization: a giant wolf howling at the sky.
At that moment, the fortress interior was in complete chaos.
News of the Second Priest's death had thrown the High Priest into a panic, forcing him to rush back to the base and take command.
He stood upon the altar on the fortress's top level, throwing his head back to let out a bloodcurdling howl filled with both fury and fear.
"Lord Priest, what do we do now?" a Wolfman War General captain asked, his voice trembling as he knelt below the altar.
