The Slaughter of the Vale of Shadows

The Slaughter of the Vale of Shadows is a massacre of the entire Outlands Infantry of the village of Tyrins save two warriors (or so they believe) while patrolling the infamous Vale of Shadows. Most everyone in Tyrins believes that Skirmish Killington went beserk and systematically murdered all but one member of his regiment. He was arrested and sentenced to die; a fate that suited his trespass. It is considered the darkest day in the history of the village as so many fine warriors were lost to one whom was considered a rising star.
In reality, Skirmish was on patrol with his company when they were assaulted by a horde of marauding undead. The horde infected the warriors with an unusual rage. All of his squad, including himself, had the uncontrollable urge to slaughter each other. Skirmish alone resisted but still watched helplessly as his company struck each other down. Overwhelmed, Skirmish blacked out. When he awoke again, it was hours later and a pile of remains littered the battlefield. A shapeshifter posing as a member of his regiment had claimed to narrowly escape Skirmish's bloodlust. He returned while Skirmish had blacked out and told them that the company perished by Skirmish's hand.
