Lore:Books:WidowsPeak

Widow's Peak
The once mighty town of the Varicadan lands, now stands along a dead drop peak.

They call it Widow's Rock, a lonesome town mostly inhabited by the farmers of the very mineral rich volcanic lands. As a long dormant caldera lied still, the settlers quickly terraformed to their own desire, not remotely aware of the dangers literally lurking under their own feet.

Upon settling, choosing the comfort of a reasonable high sitting ground over the more low-lands location of Varicado, many of the farmers were send off to the Ellis war, and in many cases, the farmer wives were left widowed.

Never did they settle on a name, not until the Ellis wars had passed by and most of the population had become a widow, the name Widow's Rock came to existance. A tribute and a warning to the perished farmers buried on the rocks and the wives who are widowed.

Jumping ahead by a few decades, the widows were shook up once again. Now their children were grown up, free of the hostilities of war and life itself, a dire situation formed under their very own feet. It was only a few days, maybe a week, after the dread mage Sidonis was silenced and peace returned to the lands as a whole, a cataclysmic event unfolded.

Varicado Calderra not only erupted, it detonated in a supersonic explosion. Turning most of Varicado County into a smoldering lava lake. Somehow, someway, the center was spared. Showing a crumbling spire of what appeared to be some Hellish creation, it had hooks pinned through the ground, leaving it stuck to the spire. There were two red metal bridges hanging between two standing pillars, rising high out of the lava lake.

The last bridge, connecting a utterly annihalated Widow's Rock, to the mysterious spire. Not long after the blast, Widow's Rock became a staging ground for a collective of forces that gathered from all around the world, allies and enemies side by side to vanquish the ultimate evil.

As of writing this, I am too about to enter this hellish world, therefor I can only hope that this tale has a happier end, for the sake of us, for the sake of the perished and the sake of the widows of the Peak.
