The Mystery of 400

Geological / environmental event

Anor-Gotha experiences a mysterious natural event

In central Val’Kara the Anor-Gothans had begun the deforesting of their forests. Before they could clear all the land, a mysterious event occurred in 400 AGC. The woods shot back up from the earth where they’d been cleared, and the deforesters were all killed but one who said he saw spirits springing from the earth led by a winged half horse creature. Centaurs began to be sighted more and more frequently in the woods of the countryside. Often defending them from outsiders, the centaurs were too often perceived as hostile. There was one urban myth that spread of a little boy and girl getting lost in the woods and being spirited away by these fey beasts. The story became a wives tale told to children in order to keep them away from dangerous woods, which in truth were often filled with wolves and other creatures.
