carnages
Scenes of bloodshed
Carnages is simply the plural of carnage, though the word rarely appears in this form since carnage typically functions as a mass noun describing widespread slaughter or bloodshed.
When pluralized, it refers to multiple distinct instances of massacre or violent destruction: The carnages of the 20th century's world wars reshaped international law.
The singular form remains far more common in everyday usage.
