Mournland Incursion Devastates Eastern Village

Mournland Incursion Devastates Eastern VillageNews for Sul, Eyre 15th, 998

By David Noonan

ATHIROND -- A horde of ghouls attacked the village of Janwell and killed scores of villagers. Augmenting t

arauders' strength were numerous magical conflagrations known as living spells.

e attack began at dusk and continued throughout the night. By morning, the village had fallen, and most o

ople lay dead. At first light, however, the marauders slipped back into the Dead-Gray Mists on the border

e Mournland.

mong the slain were local lord Orina ir'Ghalaro and the staff of a chapel devoted to the Church of the Silve

ame. Most of the survivors were villagers who had taken shelter in a forest to the west at the first sign of

uble.

e marauders included a massive construct known as a cadaver collector. The name seems to be somethi

misnomer, however, since the construct doesn't limit its harvest to corpses.

hennek ir'Tallon, the region's representative to Breland's Parliament, offered condolences to the families of

ain and promised that their deaths would be avenged. "I visited Janwell just last year for the apple harvest

stival," ir'Tallon said, "and never have I seen a more pleasant hamlet. All our hearts go out to the families o

ose who lost their lives in this senseless attack."

ut ir'Tallon did not stop with mere sympathy. He indicated that within the week he would bring a plan beforearliament to put more soldiers on Breland's border with the Mournland.

eriodic incursions from the Mournland are a fact of life in far eastern Breland, but survivors indicated that th

ack was another matter entirely. "Once or twice a month, some nasty beast comes out of the mists -- a

rcass crab or some other horrible creature," said guard captain Aorolo Roklins. "But this attack was far be

e norm. The marauders were organized and completely ruthless. However, they didn't loot any valuables,

operty damage was minor."
