Without warning one night, raiders bearing the mark of the [[Cult of the Dragon]] descended upon Greenest under cover of darkness, setting buildings ablaze, looting homes, and driving terrified townsfolk into the streets while kobolds and draconic creatures prowled freely among the dead. Overhead, the presence of a massive blue dragon and a mysterious rider turned the attack into something far more deliberate than simple banditry, marking Greenest as a target in a larger and more dangerous design. The town’s survival came not from strength alone, but from desperate coordination and unlikely resistance. Survivors rallied toward the keep under the direction of [[Governor Tarbaw Nighthill]] and [[Escobert the Red]], while a small group of adventurers ([[Yang Gang]]) carved a path through the chaos. The night culminated in a public challenge issued by a draconic champion before the walls, a duel that ended with the release of hostages and the withdrawal of the attackers, signaling that the raid had achieved its purpose and no longer required total destruction. By morning, Greenest still stood; scarred, burned, and diminished, but not broken. Its people began rebuilding immediately, repairing homes, reopening shops, and reclaiming what little remained, even as the weight of what had occurred settled in. Greenest endures now as both a home and a warning; proof that even the smallest settlements can be drawn into the designs of greater powers, and that survival, while possible, comes at a cost that lingers long after the fires are put out.
