What good news is this for our brothers and sisters who have lost their lives to the Army of the Black Plague. Our very own renowned heroes Sir Rannos, Sir Ostler, Sir Whitefire, Sister Sarissa, Kronin, and Gabriel the scout have rid the world of Caedes of the Scourge of the Black Plague. Only Strydor the fighter was said to have escaped the destruction caused by the brave heroes. Huzzah!

By Horation Falkenstein, master bard

Such sorrows to be told. There has been a rash of elven maidens disappearing from the Elfwind Barony in the last month or so. Among the missing is the Baron of Elfwind’s only heir the Lady Adia Clearbreeze. The Baron has placed the forces of the Barony on highest alert and asked that any with information on the maidens’ whereabouts please step forward.

Goldhaft musters his army

Dateline, Goldhaft, Povem 18th

By Baron Richard Stercorius Goldhaft

In the wake of my brother Leopold II’s sentencing for heresy by the Inquisition of Bor, it is with heavy heart that I take up the throne once held by my father. In order to assure the commonfolk of my realm that heresy and chaos will never triumph over truth and justice, I open a plea for mercenaries to come join the army of Goldhaft in order to strengthen the might of this Barony. Mustering will be held in the village of Gravelroad, in the North of the Barony.

News from afar

Asclings: a trade deal has been inked assuring the Baron of Goldhaft the services of a unit of giant troops in exchange for an undisclosed magical item.
