In the early hours of the sixth of Letum, 553 AD, a chill wind blew in
En'Aruna and the murmurings of rebellion became the cries of agony as
citizens were cut down by the cultists of the Red Maiden.

Led by Airon, the cultists had resurrected Leeba in a state of undeath.
Although she first appeared weak in this state, she consumed the hearts
of Taylar, and other Peace followers within the towne, to grow in
strength.

Moments later Leeba's beasts of Wrath had enveloped the towne, making
their way through the Bardosi and into the Conclave. Several Ithaquans -
Jorachim, Varil, Dylandil, Miana, Evijan, Labil, Kais, Mackenzie,
Juanope, Averu, Aislygn - and Antiochians - Delrayne, Ren, Amelia, Kira
- joined in on the hunt for the fierce jackals.

Jorachim and Varil were the first to piece together the situation, and
meet Leeba face to rotting face in the towne. After a brief speech of
retaking En'Aruna for her Lady, those involved saw through Leeba's lies
and quickly removed her head.

As many of the townespeople lost their lives to the jackals, or Leeba
herself beforehand, a group of clansmen entered the towne. Seeing the
destruction, they first sought supplies for themselves. Yet, upon
meeting the sad group, Broderick Bonecaster, Haurin, and a number of
other men decided to stay to assist in rebuilding the towne.

The few survivors were unable to speak much of their loss and pain, the
numerous dead were honoured by Varil, Delrayne, and Ren as their corpses
were burnt on a funeral pyre. Varil and Broderick have sworn the towne
will rise again, yet many still alive are without hope.
