The Gorge is one of the natural wonders of the Kingdom, an exotic location watched by small groups of young soldiers in training, usually guided by an older, higher-ranked unit such as the Slayers.

Once divided by civil conflicts, today this is considered a peaceful place, especially after a threaty guaranteed a fair distribution of lands and tax incomes to each community.

The soldiers, on the other hand, don't have much time to enjoy the cool, sandy breeze, since their training is considered one of the hardests in the Kingdom. The training usually pays off, though, thanks to the wonderful sights and the chance of being promoted to high ranks in no time.

Once again, a picture in which I challenged myself to follow a deadline. Unlike the Dragon Berserk pic, this time I wanted a full, multi-layered landscape and multiple characters in it. That little fire they made on the right and the composition itself are really disturbing me, though I'm quite satisfied with the rest of the pic, as far as the short deadline goes.
