The Thriller Night

Description
In the year 893 AF, a disaster struck the fledgling village of Anversa when a Necromantic Bard named Mischa attacked it with horde of undead minion. Most of the adults were killed. The young were kidnapped and forced to watch Mischa's song and dance performance non-stop for several days. Mischa was vanquished in battle by a group of heroic adventurers led by the new Captain of the Town Watch, a former Knight Paladin of St. Cuthbert named Galad. Their intervention saved the village, but its population was decimated.

Fortunately, relief aid from the Queendom prevented complete collapse. Since the capital Mirthala suffered from severe overpopulation at the time, the Queen ordered a resettlement of several hundred citizens. This new population, as well as a new Merchant Guild trade route from Skopjani to Valorond, kept the village afloat. It took a few decades, but the village recovered and prospered. It is now steadily growing and is expected to become a small city in the next twenty to thirty years.
