Summary: Lands outside Camelot attacked in broad daylight. Reports of mysterious tribes of warriors, banded along with sorcerers. Uther does nothing until a patrol of Camelot's knights vanish from the borders of the Darkling Woods.
In a full month, they reappear injured and dying, long having since passed the territory of Cenred's kingdom. Prince Arthur and some of the best knights rescue those who can be saved, along with information-gathering and dispelling the rumours on the bizarre phenomena and flesh-eaters.
