A Good Wick

In a junction where the roads met on a flat lake, there was once a town called Pyre-on-the-Water, which experienced a thousand nights and no daylight between.

We say there was once a town called Pyre-on-the-Water, because no such town exists there now.

It disappeared in a single night, leaving nothing but dust and bramble, and here we will try to uncover how this came to pass.
