Once a quiet settlement of small-statured folk, Dappleburn was destroyed on a moonless night in 155 A.T.C.. A thick, unnatural silence fell over the village, and writhing masses of deep purple and black emerged, suffocating the air and extinguishing all warmth. Some villagers vanished without a trace, while others crumbled to dust. By dawn, Dappleburn was gone, erased as if it had never existed.

The catastrophe is linked to the Void Echoes, mysterious forces that periodically manifest with devastating effect. Today, the ruins are marked by an eerie stillness, and travelers report fleeting shadows and whispers, a haunting reminder of the village’s last, fateful night.
