"Winter is coming. The survivors look to you." 50 berries

Before the raid, leave a sacrificial stockpile outside the gate. 50 berries. 10 cloth. The simulation checks for "Easy Loot." If the barbarians find the offering, their aggression timer pauses for 60 seconds—enough time to get your children into the cave.

Dawn. The sky is the color of old bruises. The Red Fist doesn’t charge. They walk. Slowly. They drag a makeshift battering ram made from the trees of your own forest.

The simulation concludes with the "Extractive Phase." The barbarians do not seek to occupy; they seek to liquefy. They convert the village’s labor (slaves), food (livestock), and wealth (trinkets) into mobile capital. This leaves Aethelgard in a "resource desert."
