As Anselia became gradually more and more disturbed, a sudden outbreak of thief gangs raiding one village to the next became an issue. Even though it was peace at the moment, the residents of Sandicht knew that Sandicht would be no exception and lived everyday in fear of being next. And then, the tragedy they so feared came to be...
