The Fall of Wheatriver

The Fall of Wheatriver was an event that took place during the Second Coming of Mythrix, in which the Cult of Three attacked and razed the large town of Whateriver.

The attack began during a wedding between Steven Ward and Penelope, who was really the necromantic witch Auriel in a polymorphed form. Auriel led the attack along with a cohort of roughly 500 orks, goblins, kobolds, and undead. Dench and Friends were present for the attack, and managed to save Steven from assassination and escape unharmed. Gavin Aldair was also present, though it is still unclear if he was captured or in league with Auriel and the Cult of Three at the time. The attack went on well in to the night, resulting in the death of over 280 townspeople. Their souls were used to fill soul gems for a ritual in the revival of Mythrix. Wheatriver was set on fire and then used as a base of operations for the Cult of Three.

Following the defeat of Mythrix, the beastmen manning the makeshift base were hunted and killed by a group of mercenaries working for the Octarian church. Since then it has been rebuilt, watched over by the Octarian Church. A fountain now stands in the center of the rebuilt town in honor of those killed in the attack.
