So that field of flowers the Paladins have... beautiful, right? Real romantic. Absolutely perfect place to bring a date if you're one of the privileged few allowed to visit Elah, though if you aren't you needn't worry, I've taken plenty of pictures for you.
(And as stated, there are a bunch of images attached to this post!
The rotting body of a man. His facial features are no longer recognizable but the layers of rags that still cling to the bloated corpse suggest a life of poverty and struggle. Around him, Emberblooms blossom in a stunning array of fiery oranges and deep purples.
A badly mangled body. The Emberblooms surrounding it are like gems made of pure fire.
This one is an awkwardly angled shot of the smashed up remains of a person's skull. In addition to the blooms growing around it, a single scarlet flower is sprouting up through an eye socket.
In this one, the flowers are starting to overtake a shallow and poorly dug grave. A curled hand lies uncovered. It looks like it's been picked at by scavenging birds.
A blurry closeup of some dirty and bloodstained rags trapped among a patch of Emberbloom flowers of a stunning shade of royal purple.
A paladin guard standing near a patch of flowers. Among the flowers, bones can be seen.
A thumb covers part of this picture but it doesn't manage to obscure the body that seems to have been dumped without even a cursory effort to properly bury it, only the stunning array of flowers growing over it acting as cover.
There are more, of course. Dozens upon dozens of photographs of the dead dumped among the sunset fields, corpses in every possible condition and state of decay. Some are blurry, others weirdly focused, and still more are partially blocked by clumsy fingers but one thing seems clear: this had to be the work of multiple individuals.)
I suppose dying for love is a trope for a reason...
But of course, the real sight to see is Dead Kracken Island. Normally a trip there requires one to commit a most grevious crime, but this month the Paladins have been providing trips to their most dreadful of prisons entirely for free! No age or health requirements, the children and the infirm are all welcome to have a stay in a cold cramped cell for an unspecified length of time with terrifying spectres for company!
Wanna enjoy the feeling of having your wrists bound by manacles? What about a nice relaxing period of unconsciousness while you're being transported to the middle of nowhere surrounded by ocean? Maybe you really like not knowing why you've been imprisoned or what your captors intend to do to you? Then go wander innocently through literally any area where Paladins can be found today!

You may want to connect the dots on how one relates to the other. Otherwise your message is lost.

If by some chance they are not, it speaks poorly of the armadas competence that not one, but two separate incidents occurred beneath their noses. The misuse of their land to conceal bodies and the misuse of their prison to hold innocents captive...
(Of course, they aren't innocent in the general sense. But the crime they were brought in for? Doesn't exist.
Really, this post was just to draw attention to what was going on. Maybe piss some people off.)

An island that is, by my understanding, an island that is being utilized by Corsairs for training Corsairs.
Forgive me if I am not seeing Paladin corruption in this.

(Wait, what? Corsair training grounds... they try to remember the details of what happened beyond the trauma haze.)

It's not unheard of to kidnap your own and drag them off in the middle of the night, dumping them in the middle of some remote location to fend for themselves.

The idea that the field is used to hide the bodies was only one possibility I was considering. With how far the bodies would have to be transported, it seems strange not to just sink them to the bottom of the ocean instead... unless the field itself requires them as fertilizer, which could likely be verified with the help of scientists.
(If it's a Corsair thing, they will fucking destroy the one responsible.
Though a part of them still wonders if it's some kind of joint venture.)
