I am running a fantasy campaign where a war has started and the PC's will be travelling through areas that have seen some battles and may encounter some major battles. I have been searching for anything that might indicate what the party might encounter from the horrors of war. I know they will encounter troops, deserters, displaced peoples, displaced monsters, and so on.
What I am looking for is encounters that really show the effects war has on the people and the lands along the atrocities committed by both sides of the warring factions.
I am also interested in what the party may encounter if captured by either side. I am running on the idea that even the side the party is on may consider them spies or worse and probably capture them to question them....
