+ | As the town grew it drew more of the local wildlife, monsters, and fiends to the area. The attacks grew more frequent and deadlier. , however the citizens of New Bacup not having either the means to provide for their family nor the ability to travel East towards [[Thorsburg]] decided to stay and wait it out and try to survive. They continued on with their daily life, accepting casualty after casualty. Over the next 20 years of misery the attacks continued to grow and eventually the entire area was over run. In 1111 the Church decided it was no longer worth the risk of maintaining a congregation. The church abandoned the town and struck it from the records. | ||

+ | Most of what transpired between 1111 and 1130 is shrouded in mystery, however there have been numerous rumors and stories. The most popular story being this. Running out of food, and cut off from the rest of the world the citizens decided to mine deeper into the canyon wall to seek safety from the hordes of horrors.

One day, [[Griffin Bethell|Griffin]] traveled deep into the temple mad with hunger. Old Man Bethell was gone for days. Most people were sure he he perished in that vast darkness. A fortnight later he finally returned carrying a load of fresh fruits and meats. He told the others that the temple took pity on him and spoke. In exchange for his undying loyalty, it would provide for him and his people. Some questioned the food and refused to eat. They thought it may be tainted or blasphemous.

While running out of food, and cut off from the rest of the world the citizens with no where to run too decided to mine deeper into the canyon wall to seek safety from the hordes of creature at their doorsteps. It was around this time they stumbled upon an vast ancient temple, which they took refuge in, making sure never to stray to far in. While in the temple people started to die of starvation as their entire food stores were ran dry. One day though Griffin traveled deep into the temple mad with hunger, he was gone for days, people were sure he he perished as well until one day he came back carrying a load of fresh fruits and meats. Apparently according to the rumors the Temple took pity on him and in exchange for his undying loyalty would provide for him and his people. People began to question where the food came from and refused to eat. However, everyday Griffin would walk deeper into the dungeon and always come back with food and eat his share. Eventually with more people dying, people stopped caring and started to eat. Griffin did not tell the whole story though, he knew that the temple demanded a sacrifice in order to produce the bounty they received. He wasn't sure how often, but he knew as long as people to continued to die within the temple walls everything would be okay. Eventually when the people regained their strength and people stopped dying he told them what the temple required in order for it to continue to provide. | + | At this point scared of losing their only means of food and knowing the Church abandoned them the citizens of New Bacup began to sacrifice people. |

So, the present day in our campaign is 1130, about eighty years after that. Let's say that the Catholic Church gave up on this town about twenty years ago around 1111.
