<h1>The Legend of Brightvale</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Legends say that once upon a time, at the foot of a mountain in the
|
||
Northlands, there was a village called Brightvale, because of its verdant
|
||
territory and favorable climate. The people of the village were united,
|
||
kind, welcoming, and loved life above all else – in fact, they were healthy
|
||
and very long-lived.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Shadow of Immortality</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
However, this longevity made every bereavement excruciating: the villagers
|
||
would cry and try to comfort each other as the faint light of the
|
||
<strong>Funerary Lantern</strong> guided the procession. Both the living and
|
||
the dead only wished to be able to remain with their loved ones forever, and
|
||
this is how some souls managed to find a way back, guided by the Lantern
|
||
itself. The people thought it was a miracle, unaware of the looming danger:
|
||
in order to remain among the living against the natural order of things,
|
||
those spirits were consuming the life of their loved ones.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
As more and more people died, just as many spirits joined the village. And
|
||
year after year, those souls gradually forgot who they were, until they
|
||
became faint presences, attracted like moths to the light of the Lantern. In
|
||
the end, they turned into pale flames thirsting for life.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Transformation</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Eventually, the spirits overtook the village, and Brightvale itself – now
|
||
the epicentre of this warping of the natural order – was reborn as a
|
||
terrible serpentine monstrosity that withers everything it touches,
|
||
constantly chasing the Lantern that the naive villagers put all their faith
|
||
into.
