Night of a Thousand Tears

"Dark armor. Silver sword. A crimson dripping from its sharpened point. Screams, pleads, tears. They're all around me. Searching, skulking, stalking. Hungry, like wolves; and I am the rabbit."

A Single Night

The Praetoria's brutal assault on the capital of Memzu, Adura, over 20 years ago. The entire city was reduced to rubble and ash while its inhabitants were lined up and brutalized to death, all in a single night. None were spared the dark paladins wrath. Survivors who miraculously avoided the Praetoria's bloody purge have been reluctant to share explicit details, only that the screams and cries of the ones lost haunt their dreams even today. All describe that horrid night the same, hence the name they give it: "the Night of a Thousand Tears."

Paved in Blood

The attack on Adura is the largest militarized event since the Praetoria's inception 500 years prior. Many worried that other major cities and surrounding towns were next as targets. Their unease was for naught, and 20 years passed before another attack occurred. Months after the Departed was formed, Elgus, Jhorna's capital, was targeted in a similar manner. The Praetoria razed much of the capital before the Departed and the Empyrean Legion forced the paladins to retreat.
