Event
The Lisbon Massacre
A riot has started in Lisbon and thousands of rabid citizens are chasing New Christians in the streets of our city.
According to our informants, it all started when the faithful were praying during a mess in the Chapel of Jesus and a light allegedly emanated from the crucifix. One New Christian that was present ridiculed the claims of miracle and the crowd became enraged, killing the man on the spot and starting the hunt of any New Christian in sight.
The city is in flames and the streets are full of blood of New and Old Christians alike.
