The Great Blackout

The Great Blackout was the name given to the massacre that wiped out the entire species of Raptariens, except one.



What are Raptarians
Raptariens were a species of evolved fox like beings. They were well known for their intelligence and inventions, though very few of their tech is still around. Their species mostly lived a semi large island called Bäljk, some lived in other places, though most of them don't last long due to bandits seeking their tech. Due to almost all of them living on an island, fighting wasn't a skill any of them new.

The massacre
On the 29th June 2021 an adventurer by the name of BlueFether wanted to find out more about their species and their way of life. But when he arrived he was met with a horrific sight. What looked like the entire population of the island were dead on the ground, buildings destroyed and on fire. The adventurer described it as not a battle, but a massacre, it didn't look like the Raptariens put up much of a fight. Over the following week it was determined the the event must have occurred on the 27th, 2 days before BlueFether arrived. It was also noted that almost every piece of tech and plans for them were gone, taken by whoever caused the tragedy. The number of casualties were upwards of ≈ 3,457 Raptariens. It was thought that the entire species had been exterminated, but soon after an article surrounding the events were published a man named Raptor472 was discovered living in Hälge. He had showed up there the day after the massacre took place with no memory's besides his name and the numbers 472.

The Disappearance of Bäljk
On the 20th of July 2021, the island of Bäljk in which The Great Blackout occurred on disappeared. On the night of the 19th a great storm occurred causing great waves, and the next morning when researchers went back to explore the island further, they found nothing. The entire island was gone along with every remaining part of Raptarien history. No one knows how it happened, and it is still a mystery too this day.
