The Razing of Kawrow

The Razing of Kawrow was a tragic event that occurred in the eastern Danderillon on 7th Utza 1549 during a dry summer.
Kawrow was a small town some two days' ride southeast of Halcyon, a primarily farming town with some traffic on the road to Datria. Its name came from the Euluska word kavro meaning goat, and the Limba Vrei suffix -ow, meaning village; it was pronounced 'kavrov'. 
In the early hours of the night, a huge, screeching, firebreathing bat that came to be known as the Beast of Kawrow set upon the town. The beast swooped down, setting the town alight as it picked up fleeing people and knocked down buildings, like the town church spire. The bat breathed clouds of fire and burned down the inn, and its screech also began to turn fleeing civilians and town guards to stone. Among those who survived the inn blaze and fled were Koldaren and Skolas Ethersprite - the survivors fled north to Jarren's Well or northwest to Halcyon. 
The town was left a burnt and petrified wreck. The forests to the north slowly recovered, but the town was left as a monument, her empty abandoned streets full of stone statues. No news of the bat was heard for some years. Each ensuing year on the 7th Utza, people from the local area gathered at the ghost town of Kawrow in remembrance of the lives lost. Six years in, one of the petrified people miraculously awoke - a person named Alena.
