THE
GLORY OF BOR, AN OBJECT LESSON
Dateline,
Baltburg, Povem the 12th,
by
Agrippa Talanton (an selection from his latest sermon)
Ladies, Gentlemen and Good Folk, as
I crusade for Bor, I have faced many an obstacle. Yet the most disturbing is the rottenness of soul that causes the
weak minded to defy the evident wonder of the Law of Bor. Just this very week when I journeyed deep
into the heart of evil and undeath in the Wasteland, one of my sorest woes was
the blasphemy of a supposed companion.
He befouled the world with mockery and heresy, and his end came
swiftly. I saw a fiend from Hell swoop
upon us and of all our godly band, this Devil slew only the blasphemer, the
Power of Bor protects those who respect his Law.
The
NOTEWORTHY PILGRIMAGE
Dateline,
Baltburg, Quoct 29th
By
Horatio Falkenstein, bard
I have seen many acts of piety in my
life, yet the penance of an honorable knight struck me as worthy of note. Sir Malakai, recently famous for foiling a
plot against the Count of Storm Eagle, has undertaken an impressive
pilgrimage. Atoning for some minor sins
he has vowed to walk from Ludwig to Weston, stopping at every church on the way
to beg forgiveness for his sins. Such
devotion to the Law of Bor is an inspiration in these dark times.
News
in brief
Baltburg:
Local notable Tobar was heard to say, Malakai is a glory-hungry faker,
he should be crawling from church to church.
Ludwig:
If you bought any
deer bologna in the last two weeks, throw it away, it’s not deer meat. Granny Holdbean offers her apologies. The trapper Silas Munk is hereby banned form
the outpost.
Pep: the
Jakbar fund has reached its goal, praise Bor!
News
from afar
Western
Marches: a small
monastery in the mountains has been attacked and the monks murdered. Reports also have come in that a colony of
Guardian Owls faithful to Bor and their halfling retainers out in the Melvek
wilds have been massacred. What could
this all mean?
