The Ghostface Expedition of 656 C.E. was a Ghostface raiding expedition that occurred in 656 C.E., with the Imsinnis Skassak proceeding down the river that ran through the territories belonging to them and their southern neighbours, pillaging the villages of the peaceful south tribes. However, while the initial raids ended as they normally did with the Ghostfaces taking anything they fancied from the conquered tribes, it cumulated in the Battle of the Mawagansett Village, where the loathed Ghostface were brought finally to heel thanks to the combined efforts the the Mawagansett and the Heron brotherband.
History[]
Prelude[]
Since as long as anyone can remember, the Ghostfaces have been the scourge to the Western Continent and the ancestral enemies of their six southern neighbours and gain their name for their habit of painting their faces skull-white, which, combined with their dark skin, make them look like vengeful spirits. For while the Ghostfaces are wild and warlike, their victims, the tribes of Tillicum, Limigina, Mawagansett etc, are people of peace. Thus, whenever Ghostface raiders, who's forces number in the hundreds, have sailed down the river that winds through their territory and down further south in their canoes, it was a sign for the tribes to run and hide, leading to a winter of hunger for all of them. Raiding and killing as they go, the Ghostfaces raid the other tribes, killing the men and enslaving their children and womenfolk if the tribes attempt to stand against them and destroy their crops, burning their houses and stripping the villages of their food and riches if the tribes hide. Finally, after tiring of their sadistic games, the Ghostfaces return to the north, normally in canoes laden with spoils of war, leaving the tribes to pick up the pieces and return to their normal lives.
The Ghostface appear to time their raids for every five years, encouraged by the lack of resistance to tribes show. For reasons not completely known, the Ghostface, after an expedition during 648 C.E., went silent.
