Descriptive Text
“A sudden chorus of terror erupted ahead of me in the marketplace. Mad panic flashed through the crowd. People trampled each other to flee and rushed the outer stalls, savagely tearing food out of each other’s clutches and desperately stuffing it down their own throats. Nearer at hand, I watched a row of smoked ducks blacken and shrivel before my very eyes. As the crowd thinned, I saw the source of everyone’s terror. An emaciated corpse sat slumped in the saddle of an equally wasted horse. The horror snatched up a halfling child, dragging him kicking and screaming onto the saddle. Just like the smoked meat, I watched the flesh shrivel from the child’s bones! The monster defiantly addressed the panicked crowd.”
“‘We seek a fiery eye,’ it said. Its voice was horrible. ‘Give it to us, and the suffering of this innocent will end.’”
—Witness account, Rivalis, August 755 BC[1]
