I write to you with utmost urgency on behalf of the Council of the Northern Shore. A series of disturbing incidents has befallen the small fishing village of Submersi, a quiet place known for its bounteous waters and honest folk. In recent weeks, several townsfolk have mysteriously vanished, most notably young people and the village’s most able fishers. These disappearances have sown fear among the villagers, who whisper of shadowy figures spotted at dawn and strange lights flickering on the water by night.

Reports from the village suggest that these kidnappings bear marks of dark practices: runes have been found etched into boats and fishing nets, and strange charms have appeared in the victims’ homes. The village’s local guardians attempted an investigation but were unsuccessful, claiming their minds clouded and their memories fractured as they approached the shores.

Yours in steadfast duty,
High Councillor Edris Morvain
Council of the Northern Shore
