There have been reports surrounding the northern villages of Ardain and Rine. Fifteen men and women have gone missing from their homes near the Pastoria Forest. Only two bodies have been found, though what little remains of them offers no insight into the cause of death. The medics I’ve questioned have never seen anything quite like this before, and the decayed and mutilated bodies worry them to no end. I beg of you to send aid at once. Letter from Randall Thorne of the Guard to Commander Jude Maddox, year 49 of the curse
