There's a chill in the air..

You heard rumors this Autumn about an armada that went missing. They probably got lost or blown off course. Even if it was pirates, you feel comfortable knowing you are safe on land because of the Goddess's protection. Pirates seldom risk corruption.

The ocean grows colder...

Fisherman who were use to the open sea aren't coming back. Pirates didn't attack them like this before, and even if they did, they made demands. Perhaps a bad storm has been making it's pass. It isn't unheard of.

The shores have gone frigid...

The barrier islands and lagoons aren't safe. Sailors won't leave the harbor. Most of your city's trade is coming from the river and it's been risky. Bandits are robbing caravans and rafts more frequently up until last week...

It all stopped.

The rivers are freezing over...

The guards are sounding the alarm. The bells are ringing. There is a heavy smell of death in the air. Anyone who is not strong of body is dropping dead in the streets.

You hear it scream...

It is a horrible sound, joined with a chorus of the tormented walking dead. They overtook the seaside gate like a massive wave. Anyone who could still run is fleeing across the river.

It won't cross the bridge. It won't cross the river.

The Nuckelavee [knuckle-la-veh] is a dark fae creature from Irish, Scottish, Many, and the Orkney Isles. It is said to breath a maisma that ruins crops and greatly sickens, children, the elderly, and infirm.

I would like to propose this demon as a kind of raid boss that appears at coastal nodes when conditions are met. It could be accompanied by hordes of undead and breed corruption onto the land should it not be driven back into the sea.

Because, as far as we know. No one has yet slain a Nuckelavee.

Edit: What do you all think? Gnarly raid boss material? Event?
