Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron Sky" data-source="post: 5465223" data-attributes="member: 60965">The Encantor Archipelago was once united as a small empire with the finest navy in the world, their shipbuilding so advanced and their sailors so highly trained that they even defeated the imperial navy in several battles.Zacris went to the main island of Karus ostensibly as an imperial diplomat wishing to cease the costly and failing imperial venture to take the Archipelago. Being an honorable people, the Karus Queen and her family invited him to peace negotiations aboard their private royal vessel for dinner to conclude the negotiations.The next day, the people of Karus awoke to find every member of the royal family impaled on the ends of the spars and masts with healing rituals keeping them just barely alive. As the most loyal of Karus' subjects rushed onto the ship to save them from their horrible fate, a latent spell Zacris had planted on the ship activated, lighting everyone onboard in writhefire - a fire that burns slowly and burns even underwater.All aboard the ship drowned while burning to death and Zacris led the imperial navy in an assault that caught the Encantor navy by surprise, smashed them, had everyone on the island crucified on their beloved ships, then had the whole island of Karus defoliated and carved into the face of the emperor so all in the Archipelago would never forget.Even today, someone who is punished for defying an emperor or who dies in a particularly horrible fashion is referred to as a "Karus Queen".</blockquote>
