Sophocos Ablaze (event)

I watch as it unfolds.

Horsemen ride through the desolate streets of the ramshackle slum that has sprung up around Sophocos. Most of the Ritualist visitors fled well in advance when they saw the glow of heated brands and torches on the horizon, and only the handful of fools and fanatics who refuse to flee are left to burn alive inside the temples, pilgrim inns, and sacred chantries they dedicated their lives to maintaining. By the time the ring of fire burns to embers the following morning we've really set to work, looting shrines and toppling statues. Relic pits are filled in to dissuade magpies and vermin from sniffing around for treasure. An unlucky or unobservant caravan crests the hill only to be sacked, its unfortunate itinerants put to the sword

I don't think the Ritualists will be coming back here for a long time. Now if only we could topple the tower itself...

The glory is ours!
