Old Wounds

⚔️ Closed starter for @rathalascendant ⚔️

The scene was every bit as grim and worrisome as the report had made it seem.

A disturbance in the woodlands nearby one of the many villages dotting the land. The ground quaked violently, the roars and calls of monsters in its depths rattling the trees as they struggled. Amidst the chaotic eruption of clashing sounds, someone swore they heard human voices shouting the clang of iron. Hunters? Trappers? It seemed a likely explanation for the disturbance. But when all had quieted and a few brave souls and their felyne companions had scraped up the nerve to venture out and see for themselves, they found... nothing.

The grass was disturbed and a few tress had been knocked down, marked with splintered holes where it seemed like something had been driven into the wood. The soil was pressed in smooth lines- too smooth. The heavy weight of a cage or a vehicle of some sort? There were obvious signs of a struggle as well. Claw marks on bark and on stones, flipped chunks of smashes materials like refined wood and metal scattered about, and some lingering smell of smoke from smoke bombs.

It certainly seemed like a poaching incident. But from who?

All that had been left behind was some sort of iron amulet with a strange symbol carved into it. The shape was odd, uncanny. Made of straight line that jutted out and ended abruptly, with the only clearly discernible shape being an eye in the center of the mess.

What could it mean?
