Something has awoken, I fear.
More people go missing each eve...first, t'was only those who ventured past the bay. But now, anyone too close to the canals during a moonless night is lost to the waters.
I feel like something is testing us...biting down to see if we flinch, fight, or flee. But what can we do in the face of a nameless specter that's come with a challenge? There are no guards, no lord left to defend us.... They've set off to fight a holy war and left us behind, near dark waters hiding sinister fates.
