TERROR
AND VICTORY IN THE NORTH
Dateline,
East Eagle Wap 29nd
By
Horatio Falkenstein, bard
After the fall of West Tower in
Storm Eagle County, things looked grim for the Count and his vassals, yet help
arrived and the tables have turned.
Whitefire the famous Demon-Slayer and Sir Rannos, who recently struck
down the Son of the Unholy Feaster, arrived and raised the siege of High
Chapel, saving Bishop Dumbric and breaking the back of the “Followers of the
Suffering Dwarf”. The mighty Sir Richard
Stercorius also arrived to the Count’s aid and led the charge that drove the
Black-Rock Hill giants and their orcish minions from the siege of East
Tower. Sir Raynard and his vassals are
now free to join the Count in his march to join Whitefire and Sir Rannos to
drive out the “Bloody Bear” tribe from West Tower.
IT
IS DECREED
Dateline,
Marchburg, Wap the 27nd
By his
Grace, Granville, Duke of the Northern Marches
Let it be known that the petty quarrels of
border-vassals are of no interest to his Grace, and the forces of the Emperor
are much better used in making strong show against the Druidic heretics of the
Holtens and their usurper king. The
Count of Storm Eagle should do his duty and clean up his own mess.
