The Hungry Others

The Hungry Others were a threat to the island in the late summer and early fall of 2015 that came from an unknown location. It was theorized that they were an other-dimensional group of beings that wanted to invade and conquer the island to take over its place in dimensional space. They launched a number of raids on the island and placed defaced, magical graffiti around it.

As well as leaving a number of magical rocks connected to specific places around the island that the Town Council then hid, the Hungry Others launched a major raid on the beaches that had a large number of monsters and a huge beast before they were driven off.

A reconnaissance group sent to their island lead by Soru reported that they were a highly militarized cannibalistic society and had a great deal of weaponry and technology (by Yuriban standards) as well as their own sort of magic.

After the disruption of the Crystals they had laid around the island and preparations in case there was a siege which included fortification of the underground networks, the Hungry Others went quiet late in the fall of 2015. Whether it was as their dimension had fallen out of alignment with Yuriba or they found other targets, their attacks petered out but leaving the ultimate question of what their goals and exact methods were unanswered.
