			==Behind the scenes==
			Upon sleeping in the tent, the player is locked into a lengthy series of memories portraying the events of the Siege of Paris. Fast travel and conventional manual saving and quick-saving will not be available at any point until the events of the siege are all complete, and the player must rely on autosaves generated at specific checkpoints in case of desynchronization, glitches, or anything else that may interfere with progression.
