In the center of the plush landscape, a days river-side ride from the coast was the quaint town of Nu'wyre.<br/><br/>Visiting it had always been the most pleasant leg of the trading routes that each of you employed for your own reasons, usually you all passed each other and only exchanged nods like what most merchants do, usually however one of you was leaving while the other arriving - and as such merchants seldom knew others of their ilk well.<br/><br/>What you adored about this one town was even though it was small, it was choked with some of the finest alchemists and boat builders known, the former you all eagerly traded your wears for. Wealthy beyond measure, a paradise for those already living there, but strangely forbidden for those that didn't. One autumn day found you all arriving at the same time, and as you rode over the ridge to expecting to see the riverboat which you were only permitted to trade directly with, nothing but an eerie scene met your gazes.<br/><br/>The only signs of life were two butterflies in a spiraling dance of courtship. <br/>A minute after your eyes followed them, a fish lept from the river to snap up the first before a passing bird took the second. <br/><br/><div align="center">No other sounds nor sight of movement met your sensors, no signs of warfare, no stench nor moans of the sick.</div><br/>Even the wind was still.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
