~ Eve of the 6th day of Icewhile
This town freaks me out. The folk here are strange. Feels like the life’s been drained out of them. They walk in silence and keep their heads down… If they talk, they mumble. They won’t even look each other in the eye.
Lunnon, of Pintat. A sad and sullen town. It’s been years since the tower was toppled… and still, not a bard in sight. They’re broken here. In ruins… just like the tower.
The Queen may be dead, her sick, twisted reign may have ended, but her presence still lingers. Not just in their minds, but in their malformed bodies and missing limbs.
Well, the sun’s waning. The streets are empty. It’s time to go for a walk.
~ Eve of the 7th day of Icewhile
Everyone I spoke to today seemed to know someone, or know someone who knows someone who’s been abducted. Never to be seen again.
Her twisted abominations still terrorise the town. Remnants of her foul, unholy army. I remember the fear they wrought. The souls she tarnished… No wonder the town can’t move on. The heroes came, but clearly they didn’t clean up.
The officials told me no one knows how or why her chimeras still roam. Why they only come out at night. Where they come from, or where they go.
They told me whenever one had been abolished, another takes its place…
They told me they just keep the job pasted up on the board.
