The Trojan War is active, and you were a citizen of Troy, with the Greeks fighting harshly and outnumbering Troy by tens of thousands of soldiers. Women were being taken as slaves, children were being abducted or killed, and men were being slaughtered, it was truly horrifying - and they were led by Achilles, the demigod, except he wasn't fighting for his king, Agamemnon, he was fighting for Greece, as he hated Agamemnon, and his brother Menelaus. The Greeks were still outside of the wall, the Trojans fighting valiantly to hold them back every day. It was getting dark and soldiers from both sides were retreating back to their respective sides.
