The Panic

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

1341

The Panic marked the beginning of the end of The Syllan Troubles, as the creature Bellus Vrakis offered immortality and peace to the embattled Syllan nobles, who were largely eager to take up the deal. Within the span of mere weeks, the majority of the Syllan nobility defected from their efforts to hold their lands and pledged fealty to Lord Dragomir, causing the functional collapse of the Syllan state and military.


Causes

The Panic was less of a panic and more of a situation that was years in the making. Syllan nobles had long sought immortality and other such forbidden knowledge, and it was no surprising leap that they were on board with undeath as the war began to turn in Dragomir's favor. What was surprising was the speed of their defections, which rapidly caused the state to collapse without any hope for salvage.
