Riverfae, The Scorched Waters

Created by Draz

Riverfae stands as a haunting monument to the devastation of war, its skeletal remains scattered across blackened earth where once thrived a prosperous settlement. The village was renowned throughout the region for its abundant harvests and bountiful catches from the pristine river that wound through the valley, connecting the fertile lowlands to the snow-capped peaks of Vale Peak and the jagged ridges of Bone Spires. During the great conflict against the undead legions of Moriah Morrigan and the infernal hordes, Riverfae became a crucial supply point for the allied forces of humans and celestial beings. This act of defiance sealed the village's fate when Iustitia, the ancient dragon of wrath, descended upon it in a cataclysm of flame and fury, reducing centuries of history to ash in less than seven days. The once-clear waters that gave the settlement its name now run permanently stained crimson, their flow choked and diminished by the residual magic that scorched the very riverbed. Charred timber frames jut from the ground like broken teeth, and crumbling stone foundations mark where homes and marketplaces once stood vibrant with life. The streets tell silent stories of tragedy through darkened bloodstains that refuse to fade, a grim testament to those who could not escape the inferno. Years have passed since Iustitia's forces departed, yet the village remains utterly abandoned, as if cursed by the weight of its sorrow. Even the hardiest survivors refuse to rebuild or return, choosing instead to let Riverfae languish as a warning to all who pass through the valley.
