Editing Setting:Tabula Gloria/Vosagar/The Wodamen (section)

=A Haunting of Thunder=
Though laughable the concept of barbaric Wodamen taking over the world, especially with the might of the Empire of For'Channar only rising and the Nation of Animar as stable as it is, Corva couldn't help but to hear the shouts of Vos, even as he and his crew departed from the Mot coastline. Along the Weylosian coast, through Port Endeavor, along the Emperor's Road, and all the way back to Tabula Gloria, the explorer and his crew could not get the shouts to stop from echoing through their minds. Perhaps they were indeed the words of God-kings, the premonition of holy war everlasting. Even as they were welcomed back into the capital's walls with endless cheers and given a hero's honor, the shouts would not end. Even as Corva made his way to the Royal Palace to be knighted by the Emperor for his accomplishments, the thunder would not cease. It had to end, and it had to end now!

As the Emperor held out his sword to render Knightly honors upon Corva, the explorer could only reach out and grasp the Emperor's hands with a tremble, before plunging himself upon the blade. The court was shocked, running to pull Corva off of the Emperor's sword, wondering why such an illustrious man would do such a thing to himself. And though they managed to extricate the blade from Corva's bosom, the deed had been done. The explorer's life vanished from his glassy gaze as his blood pooled on the fine marble of the throne room floor. By the end of the decade, the rest of Corva's crew had met similar fates of self-destruction, also unable to ward off the piercing howl of the Wodamen's call.
