Strange Omen

[MysticalWeasel 911]

In the evening of the day. Just off the cross roads connecting Veletez, Petra and Numendil. Just like any other day, till a clear blood trail could be seen leading from the roadway to the tree line. The blood dried and the footsteps trampled over by now. Yet if you ignored your gut and entered into the tree line. The blood getting larger in quantity and more condensed you'd stumble upon the remains of a knight. 

Who was this knight? You may wonder, canvassing their body you'd notice their ankles and wrist slit. Their stiffen body contorted into a weird shape, their hands stiffen into gestures unknown to you besides the mad man who contrived them. Examining the surrounding of the man more, you'd see deep impressions in the earth around the once noble knight. A mixture of symbols, and two separating circles. Yet what connected them was the thin pools of blood in each circle, mayhap the knight's blood? As your attention went back to the knight trying to ascertain their identity you'd almost certainly wretch as you noticed their head was replaced with that of a goats. Some mad man had decapitated this knight and replaced their head with a goats. Its blank expression almost staring back at you. Almost telling you to admire it deep in your head. Brushing those thoughts away you'd as well notice many foot steps around the circle. Almost in a dance pattern, meticulous and not a single step touching the circle. 

Any evidence of who or what done this was long gone, yet their intention was clear. A mockery of the knight and some homage to a lord that is beyond your knowledge. Perhaps another band of undead desiring to scare local adventurers and townsfolk. Or perhaps something worse...
