This is a thread I am actually going to go with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sunrise breaks through the mountains of the Alarn and a brilliant sound floods through the city. A hundred horns sound and thousands of voices sound the start of the month long Festival of the Sun. Banners, balloons, fireworks explode in the air with insane methodical rythm and the atmosphere is filled with great celebration. Music and laughtet fills the streets and every citizen in the city runs outdoors into the morning sun to dance the day away.
In the midst of all the celebration and cheer something terrifying happens. As some look up to the sun in admiration of the firey ball that was creater by God himself to bring light upon there world, a darkness suddenly swoops over the brilliant light followed by a roar so horrible that it could only be described as to come out of the gates of hell itself. The Shadow all at once dimmed the bright morning into one of ruin and despair. Instantly sending the entire city into chaos. Thousands cried out and thousands more became the victim of what came next.
Figures cloaked in shadow moved through the masses and left dead bodies in thier wake. Hundreds fell after being caught by thier strange steel weapons. Although there numbers were few, those who fought back faced an even worse end, the figures held them down while holding a strange device to thier face which in turn sucked the soul out of them by the telltale sign of the green aura being pulled from their mouths.
After a few short moments, everyone who resisted had their blood spilt and the creature began to slowly round up the humans to scared to fight. They moved them into big quickly erected covered tents where the were administered a special substance that marked them as new slaves. Once the humans passed through the tents a zombie-like apprearence consumed them, they were left emotionless. Suddenly the air is filled with the voice, "The Sun is no more! Threre is a new king, but for now, greet the Princes of the Night!"

You witness everything from a hiding spot you found as soon as you heard the screams, you need to find out who and why. All you have is a belt with some gold coins (around 50gp) and small blade of somesort (make something unique for your character, as long as it's small).
