The Tale of the Killer Cloud

In the lands of Kinyra they have story about a cloud raining blood upon a village and by daybreak no one was left alive. It is a tale told to children to keep them from sneaking out at night and to listen to their parents. Although no one can really see if this towel is based on fact or fiction it does however give parents a nice way of ensuring their children will not run around at night and possibly get kidnapped. It does strike fear in most elders when you do mention this tale of the Killer Cloud. Elves in general live very long lives. These elves live even longer than your normal elves so rumor is is that this cloud is a possibility at least.
