View source for Massacre at Townsedge

The summer of 203 [[Anno Regalis|AR]], it seemed that more fear had descended on [[Myrken Wood]] than ever before.  Between the attacks of [[Baie Oblic`ej|The Baie]], the defilement of the [[Myrken Graveyard]], the red sky, and countless other abnormalities that plagued Myrken Wood, the citizens were frightened.  They felt that [[Governor]] [[Gad Phuri|Gad Phuri]] and the [[Judiciary Council]] were doing nothing to protect them from these horrors.  Their discontent led to the formation a mob which marched toward the [[Governor's Mansion]] but was stopped by [[Thessilane Guard]], who created a line of shields to stop the advance.  It was in this crush that The Baie appeared.

The creature rose from the back of the crowd, growing in size until he was nearly three or four times the size of a man.  Myrkenfolk have said that he seemed "to consume people with his body."  He even used people like weapons, throwing and swinging men, women, and children at his enemies.  

It was only the gallant heroism of [[Altias Bromn]] and [[Alexander Kanashia]] that drove the creature back and causing it to flee, leaving death in its wake.

No one knows what the motive was behind the public attack, though many believed that it was due to provocation from the late [[Joseph O'Cynen]], whose name the beast called when it fled.
