Haunt of the Drowned Manor

The myth

This haunting is a MYTHENOR creation, but it grows from a real and painful history: in the twentieth century, several Brazilian towns and villages were covered by the waters of dams and hydroelectric reservoirs. A famous case is old Canudos, in the backlands of Bahia, site of the 1896 to 1897 war: its ruins were submerged by the Cocorobó reservoir, which reached full volume in 1967. Many families had to leave homes, churches and cemeteries behind, and in hard droughts, locals say, remains of the buildings reappear. From these memories come tales of houses that stayed underwater with their owners.

Why it has this power

A level 3 common with ATK 900 and DEF 1200: weak in attack and firm in defense, like someone who refuses to leave home. It is a water-element Undead, because the reservoir covered everything. Moon is the night over the lake; Scarab, the mark of the region's undead.

Did you know

Canudos was portrayed by Euclides da Cunha in Os Sertões, 1902, a classic of Brazilian literature.
