A small village about 3 days away from the city of Salezmind in Nordland has been the setting and location of a bloody raid by the beastmen of chaos. A small warband had broken down the gates of the once peaceful village and slaughtered many of its townspeople. Among the survivors are a group of teenagers who have barely become adults. They had lost all of their family during the desperate fighting to repel the raiders and now have the horrible and depressing task of locating the bodies of their family members and giving them a burial. Those alive would set about their work singing burial songs and saying prays to Moor to take their loved ones into his arms and watch over them. Among the dead humans would be the odd beastman's corpse. They would be horrible to look at, goat and sheep like heads with long curved horns and legs which end in wicked looking hooves. In the village there would be some burial pyres for those in the village who wish to burn their dead instead of bury them.
Modeus would be stood infront of a funeral pyre as he watches its blazing yellow and amber light engulf and consume the body of his father. He would be completely silent as he watches the body slowly burn and turn to ash. For most of his life he resented his father for being mean to him and often beating him and calling him the bane of his life. But now all he felt was sorrow and anger. Sorrow for the fact that his only family was now lying lifeless infront of him and now in the arms of Moor, and Anger for those who took his father away from him, the beastmen of chaos. Modeus would slowly curl his hands into fists as he mutters a quick pray to Moor and turning away from the pyre and walks off to the town center as he hears the Town Mayor call out for everyone to gather.
Nysard: You could be on the eastern side of the village slowly dragging the bodies of your family with the help of another member of the village to a funeral pyre which has been set up. You feel a sense of great lose and cant help but weep at the lose of your entire family. You would get the feeling you should stay and watch over the bodies of your family while muttering a pray to Moor to help send on the souls of your loved ones.
Anna: As you rush about the village asking crying villages carrying the dead where your family is you would find your house. The front door had been completely smashed in and lays in splinters and pieces infront of you. As you enter building you see the sight you didnt want to see...The three corpses of your Father, Mother and Younger brother. The body of your father would be infront of the other two corpse and his head would be around 2 feet from his body. Your mother and brothers body would been laying in a large pool of blood they had clearly been stabbed then left for dead by the beastmen as they destroyed everything else within the house. The sense of pain, loss and grief would be overwhelming.
Alfred: You could collapse to your knee's at the sight of your home burning knowing that your entire family had hid in the cellar to escape the beastmen. What they hadn't expected was the beastmen to set the building alight after they had finished pillaging it. As you knee there infront of the burning building you feel extreme sadness and would feel you should of stayed with them, atleast that way you would of been with your family in death and not have to spend the rest of your days without them.
Fredrick: You would run straight to your families home to see if they are still alive. As you reach the door you can see it has been torn off its hinges and cast aside like a plaything. As you enter the building you find your mother in the corner of the room with a knife in her hand and her left wrist slit. She had taken her own life rather than be killed and her body mutilated by the hands of the beastmen. You feel you should bury your mother than run to your fathers forge to see if he is still alive. As you reach the forge you see a huge beastman laying on his front with a sword sticking out of it, clearly been stabbed from the front, under the beastman however you see a human arm. The hand on the arm is palm upwards and has burn marks from years of handling hot metal, you realize it is your father and should get the beast off of him so you can bury him, as you do so you feel even more grief than finding your mother, as your father had taught you everything you know.
Dieter: You wouldn't at all be affected by all the dead of villages around you as you have no family hear and come from elsewhere. As you go about the village many doors have been left open as the villages bury their dead, the perfect opportunity to steal any items of value. As you enter the first building you hear someone gently call out from inside, it is a old man with an arrow in his lower chest. He holds out a hand to you, atleast wanting to be close to someone as he passes on. He continues to call out to you to come closer.
Heinrich: As you awake your head feels like you had been kicked by a warhorse with a extremely pad temper. You can see survivors about you crying and carrying the dead to funeral pyres. You then remember your father was killed near the gate and you should go search for him. As you search among the dead being taken away you find him, as you find your father he would be laying face down in the mud with a rusty sword sticking out of his back which had pierced his heart. You are overcome by grief at the dead of your father and feel nothing but hatred for the beastmen and wish that Ulric should smite them down without mercy or hesitation. You then have the choice of either burning your father or burying him so that maybe one day you could visit his grave again.
The Major of the town calls out for all the villages together after they have burnt or bury their dead. As the remaining villages assemble he starts his speech on how they should all remain thankful they are alive, that they should try to forget the tragedies that happened during the night and should move on and think of the future. They should rebuild and repopulate.
