Toska

Toska was a small farming village on the outskirts of Tarye, on the mountainous border between the United Elemental Nations and Moori. Both the village and its inhabitants were completely destroyed by the Iktsarpok in 2002 AF following the murder of a halla boy named Ta tu Telly, and no one has attempted to resettle there since, citing bad energy from the land.

2002 Massacre
In late 2002 AF, the son of a local farmer, Ta tu Telly, reached his fourteenth birthday without an Emergence. The boy's father, having heard of the massacres that occurred in other villages, killed Ta in hopes of protecting the rest of his family from murder.

This had the opposite effect. Less than a day later, the village was overrun with figures clad in white (which would later come to be known as the 'Iktsarpok'). The Iktsarpok slaughtered the entire population of the village (which at the time was estimated to be approximately 800 Elementals and 50 Moore servants) within a few hours. Additionally, many of the buildings were set on fire, leaving only ruins in their wake. The events were recorded by the historian Flaner, who survived by hiding amongst the dead. Flaner claimed that Ta tu Telly's father was the first to be murdered, in front of the entire village, though some factions believe that Flaner had fabricated this claim in order to suggest that the massacre was directly connected to the death of Ta, which at the time had not been proven.

Toska Today
No attempts have been made to attempt to resettle Toska since the massacre. The only proof of the village's former existence is a dilapidated "Welcome to Toska" sign at the village's northern edge, as well as the remains of buildings and other destroyed objects.

Some people even believe that the land of Toska is cursed, a rumor perpetuated by a group of travelers who claimed they were attacked by white-clad bandits after passing through the ruined village. However, there is no formal evidence to support these claims.
