ABOMINATION!
Dateline,
Baltburg, Yeb the 15th
By his
reverence, Marco Hildebrand, Abbot of the Baltburg chapter house, Order of St.
Baudri.
Goodfolk of Baltburg, our bishop is
a capable man, an honest man and a Bor-fearing man, but I must protest that he
has made an oversight. Witches! Druids!
Infidels! Live but a few scant miles from our peaceful homes. And while his noble crusaders hunt beasts in
dank caves, these fiends are ignored by him.
Act and act now I say!
CRUEL
MURDER
Dateline,
Baltburg, Yeb 27th
By
Horatio Falkenstein, bard
I was approached by a friend of mine, Yaramak of Old
Wood, a fine Wood Elf. He has said that
yesterday nearly 20 elves were murdered in the forest, including some of their
elders! Woe and shame! Let us hope that the Count of Storm Eagle
or the Imperial Borderers track down the villains responsible before we too are
slain in our beds.
