Cartherin
The history of Cartherin was a peaceful one when it was Velian controlled. When the empire invaded, things turned violent. Since Cartherin was the first vilage declared as imperial, the peasants of the settlement thought that if they could expel the invaders from their village, then their invasion would fail.
Unfortunately, when the peasants rose up, the imperials didn't take too kindly. They retreated out of the village for a day to protect their own troops, but when they returned the next, the people who stood against them were immediately and ruthlessly killed. When the people eventually bent the knee in fear, it was only the town's old lord and his entorage that stood defiant. They were executed publicly.
