Chronicles of Faeheim ~ Fate of The Unknown

[The Midgard Times]

At approximately 8:15 PM tonight, fiends appeared in the Faeheim town of Fortuna. The Defense Systems Administrator, Amaria, quickly arrived on the scene, and alongside several heroes, successfully defended the town, before leaving for Marasmius' Port, where more fiends were gathering. An airship which was set to arrive at the port was then witnessed to have been shot down by a winged creature.

Amaria and the heroes entered the downed Airship, as it began to slowly sink. There, they encountered and battled the winged creature that attacked the airship, but it managed to escape. Several heroes interviewed by The Midgard Times reported the winged being searching frantically for something, which it apparently did not find.

The airship travelling from the Faeheim Sky Island of Caerulia was revealed later to have been secretly moving convicts to a new facility located in Faeheim. At least 18 crewmen and 20 convicts died, while 7 of the latter have been confirmed to have escaped custody and fled. Among the fugitives are ex-soldiers of the Faeheim Army, Cimeies and Andromallius, right hand men of the deceased usurping general, Amdusias. Their whereabouts are currently unknown.

As if the news weren't bad enough, it was also later confirmed that the invaders were illusions summoned by what fairies know as "The Unknown". These beings, whose origin, identity, or even general appearance are unknown, first attacked Faeheim during the Human-Fae War, and have been attempting to invade Faeheim for centuries up until several years ago when the attacks stopped completely. Presumably after the fairies' treasure, they are back again, to cause chaos and destruction.

Carandel Palace's Press Office declined to talk publicly about the matter, and simply issued a statement saying they would be increasing security around all of Faeheim, to ensure the safety of the people. Search teams are also actively looking for the escaped convicts, who are not expected to stay free for long.
