Rumours of the Bedurth Meat Eaters were legion. Sure, during the desperate months after the fall lots of folk probably did things they weren't proud of. But humanity's fundamental decency was soon re-asserted. At least in most parts.

Rumours had it that the cannibals were on the move - looking not for loot but for fresh meat to feed their cravings.
