the tragedy of Marrys

Disaster / Destruction

Village of Marrys destruction

During the reign of Erkin I Swan, Emperor 125 - 175 AF, a catastrophe occurred involving mages practicing the forbidden art of blood magic. An act of carelessness wiped out an entire village in the north in a flood of black blood. Some magicians thought it was a bad thing keeping the mages and wizards looked away in the Tower of Maigal by the orders of the first Pope of the newly founded Eroniumian Church in Eldercrest to learn how to control their powers and not be a threat to the society. When they were on the run they tried to make a stand against the Inquisition's knights in order to get some rest in the nearby village of Marrys, but a miscalculation and a magical experiment went awry in an unstable explosion of dragon blood. The dragon blood, toxic to humans and elves, melted husbands, wives, and children, all innocent people alongside with the mages and the inquisition knights.
