Anomalies
"How'd we come across it? Well, 'bout a fortnight ago we were going through the Arakkan Badlands and the cometatus got caught in a godstorm. Yeah I know, stupid decision, we knew the risks, we just... couldn't afford to be late. Anyways, boss did what he could to rally us, get what he could muster to a nearby cave. Which was eight, eight out of thirty one, couldn't even find any bodies, just desiccated silhouettes where bodies used to be, but you don't care about that, do you? Alright then, onto the cave."

"In the back there was lit this fire, it gave off light and heat but it was quiet. By that I mean it had no sound whatsoever, it just sat there, frozen in time. It was almost like it were a perfect painting of a campfire. Around the fire, if I could even rightly call it that were these earthenware utensils, bowls and such. Being that they were metal, we figured they were pre calamity relics, but they looked new, completely untarnished, unaging perhaps. Well, the boss sees this and decides he has to have them, tried to warn him against it but the man was desperate, convinced himself they had to be worth something fierce to the right people, so he took them.
He lost his ability to sleep that night, soonafter his hair began to fall out, his skin got sallow and paper thin, then his teeth began to rot out of his skull. He died about two days out from the city gate, man was only 31 winters old yet there he lies, dead from old age"
