Great Purge of Goldshire

"Torch the Interlopers!" - Father Gregor
The Great Purge of Goldshire, or simply known as the Goldshire Purge, was a series of brutal executions carried out by Holy Light extremist that took place on May 29th, 626 of the King's Calendar.

The Purge
In the silence of the night while the city of majority of Goldshire slept, masked men adorned in black robes with their faces obstructed behind hoods and masks began a series of burglaries.

The men, led by two brothers known Father Gregor and Father Zadic, began rounding up families and leading them into the forest of nearby Elwynn. Within the course of ten minutes over 137 people, including women and children, were burned at the stake due to their alleged crimes stemming from the brothel known as Lion's Pride Inn before local militia was mobilized to end the terrifying attacks.

It was later relieved that the two brothers had lost faith in the King's armies to enforce sacred order and law to its citizens, viewing the rampant and unchecked prostitution and substance abuse of the Lion's Pride Inn as a clear disregard to Holy tenets and moral character. Vying the local Marshal corrupt and presumably "bought off" by syndicates, the two set out to find a following like-minded individuals who were disgusted of the filth. After amassing a small force systematically in pre-coordinated assaults against the city.
