The Upper Aberwyth Massacre
The smell of death still lingers, the hearts of many beating rapidly when reminded of the ever-present Ocean nearby. A great battle and massacre occurred through the Island of Valesk unlike many others, robbing many of their family and loved ones. Worse still, most bodies were left disfigured and unidentifiable, leaving many on a curious whim as to what exactly happened to those that they lost, and with the cruel hope that they may still be alive.
What transpired was a reasonable blur, but witness accounts are sure of many Undead having been risen from the grave via Necromancy magic. Aggressive Cultist Merfolk were reported to have been seen all around the waters and beyond, dragging victims away and feeding on the unfortunate.
What was exactly their purpose? Whispers on the streets tell that it is a vengeful action in reply to horrible deeds of the past, soaked into the hearts of the ocean people and still stinging true with every passing year. Rumors of sacrifices at the annual are being spread, with the fear that the Cultist-Mer will once again rise from the oceans and lay another siege as the seasons change.
Regardless of the horrible rumors, respects were shown with a funeral to honor all those that fell during the terrible battle that day. With wavering candles and arrows of flame, boats carrying the bodies of both fallen Mer and passed away citizens of Aberwyth were sent off and then lit to burn. A long moment of respect was given for the those that lost their lives that day, celebrating the moments and times that they were with us on this Island, under the guidance of Valeska.
