Cyre 1313

Cyre 1313 , also called the Mourning Rail , is a lightning rail train that once ran through Cyre before the Mourning but now hurtles forever through the Demiplane of Dread . [1]

History

Cyre 1313 once operated on one of the lightning rails connecting to the Cyran capital, Metrol . Then, on the Day of Mourning on 20 Olarune , 994 YK , citizens crowded aboard the lightning rail trains to escape the city—including Cyre 1313, the last to leave the city. However, an unknown, late-arriving VIP ordered a critical delay, even forcing hundreds of people off so they and their retinue could board in secrecy. Cyre 1313 finally departed, but too late, and was overtaken by the dead-gray mist and lost. [1]

Only it wasn't destroyed. Cyre 1313 and all aboard were spirited away, not by the dead-gray mists but by the Mists of the Demiplane of Dread. Now it runs ceaselessly through the plane and its Mists as a mobile domain of that realm. [1]

Description

The lightning rail's elemental spirit is corrupted by necrotic energy, turning it into something of a ghost train. [1]

The crew and passengers of Cyre 1313 are forever outrunning the Mourning, unaware it has already consumed them and that they themselves are undead . They exist in dread of the disaster, the necrotic nature of the elemental spirit, and the Last Passenger occupying the front carriage. [1]
