Romania>Sibiu>The battle of Sibiu

The battle of Sibiu

An army is marching on Sibiu. You have days, perhaps less, before they reach the walls.

Your mission is to move through the medieval fortress from tower to tower and bastion to bastion, warning every craftsman, monk, and soldier who stands between the city and what is coming.

The carpenters must reinforce. The monks must ring. The bakers must prepare.

And somewhere in the armoury, the arsenal chief has something unusual in mind.

This is a walking quest through Sibiu's medieval defensive ring: along the great walls, through secret passages, past guild towers built by potters, carpenters, and archers, and into the squares where the city's history was decided.

The fortress of Sibiu has not fallen since 1241. You are here to keep it that way.
