The Sunstair Massacre

Disaster / Destruction

Prince Rainard and his men breach the walls of Jeharoa and unleash a horrific spree of murders and war crimes against both the city's Qartagonian defenders and the civilian populace.

Finally, Prince Rainard and his men breached the city walls. After five years of backbreaking toil and devastating warfare, the Pilgrims had made it to their destination. Pent-up frustration, and zealous rage was unleashed upon not only the Qartagonian defenders, but also the Mashiqi civilian population. The Pilgrim warriors ran through the streets like packs of wolves chasing sheep. Rainard and a detachment even cornered a large group of Mashiqi, including women and children at the Sunstair temple complex. When asked how they should determine who was Kōsite and who followed the Council, Rainard reportedly said, “What does it matter? They got in the way all the same.” Then he and his men butchered everyone inside.
