The destruction of the peacful town of ravenshire began when a long stifling green cloud of undeath settled down upon the town. The sky transformed into a green sickly color and ghostly pale green snowflakes dropped from the sky upon every house, field, beast, and man, dispersing into a gas when coming into contact with physical matter. As time passed, the people of ravenshire felt a terrible sickness, and those slain by the disease were transformed into fell ghouls, which beset upon their kinsmen and slew rest of the living.
