Those Brought by Ill Winds
Princess Lysanna bid four men good luck as they ventured into Sigurd's Isles.
Their chartered ship's crew threatened to abandon them if not for the princess' presence onboard due to the supposed curse of the ghost ship that had sailed here, the close proximity to Fremennik waters, and the plague persisting in the nearby kingdom of Ironfalls.
Kaladin Aren, Doctor Amalarik, Arthur Vale, and Sir Alexander Grimoire detected unnatural evil covering every inch of the three islands the very moment they set foot on the first; Cane Island. Alexander was separated early on as they encountered locals locked in a blank trance and doing repetitive tasks until their bodies succumb to fatigue where they will be carried away. Alexander would not be seen by the group again as he chose to remain by the shores and was mobbed when he tried to fight the people by the docks.
The remaining three then separated further with Kaladin and Arthur investigating the nearest village and the doctor continuing on the road to the next island. The pair discovered bodies of dead and dying villages piled within the decrepit inn and trading post. It was here that they realized that extensive use of magic caused them to be noticed by whatever presence was at the core of this dark aura engulfing the islands. With their magic neutralized partially, they resort to other ways to burn the buildings housing the bodies. They then fled the scene as the screams of the agonized dying men, women, and children filled the air.
Doctor Amalarik on the other hand encountered a crazed man just as he sets foot on the bridge. The man's sanity was too far gone but what little sense that remained in his words warned the doctor not to proceed into the town on the the second island, Haven, for anyone who did never returned the same if at all.
