The Nightfall Massacre

The Conflict

The Engagement

On the night of 10 Harvestide 2001 IE, The Shadowsong Order snuck into Celestial Song, and planted explosives throughout the building.   On the morning of 11 Harvestide 2001 IE, an operative of SO detonated the explosives.

Outcome

Serna was left in chaos and in shock. It had a heavy impact on the Principality of Kopolchia as well. It did ripple outward, causing shock and outrage all across Caelum Prime.   It took nearly a week for the rubble to be cleared from the site and all bodies to be found. Returning the bodies to their families took even longer.
