From the journal of a certain member of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim:

7th of Sun's Height, 4E 188
Wayrest is lost. The city fell to corsairs, and it's just a matter of time before the Sanctuary is breached. May the Night Mother watch over her children in their hour of need.

We received word today - the Wayrest Sanctuary was raided and destroyed by the corsairs. There were no survivors.
Is there any more information about this event available? Did the corsairs "hit and run", sacking and looting the city and then retreating, or did they hold the city for longer than that and attempt to rule?
