Penumbral Post - April

Hear ye, hear ye Citizens of the Palace. A news update is brought forth from the darkest corners of the world to your front door. As always, we encourage our readers to steer clear of high-conflict zones. Our spies risk their lives so you don’t have to, and this is their report:

Auryx'nam

A small group of adventurers bound into contracted service worked their way into the heart of the Edgewater Village where the soul cairn holding all the ancestral spirits remained. It is reported that the villagers fled the scene of the event just as the undead souls had begun bursting free from the temple. It remains to be seen just why the citizen's possessions have returned to life.

Mesdev

Our agents report the humble, steady march of our plans to save the empire from the arrival of the Lusos. Our mage already begins to transport their new machine to the holy city of Greycup while the adventurers they've employed begin to make their way to the holy city and prepare its arrival. On their way, the adventurers ran into the very mechanical soldiers they're trying to save and turned to fight them when they saw a vampiric woman within their grasp. Whether or not they'll be true to their mission is anyone's guess.

Losamyn

Our agents have truly risked their lives on this latest report. The fabled planar city of Reva-Tiran is being carved up between multiple powers. The followers of Hierus have spread their control over 2 of the 16 districts in such a small timeframe. In one of those districts, our bombard strike ship has struck a blow of vengeance against the the mechanical monstrosities by bombarding the city with orbital shells.

This happens at a time when a covert team is trying to save as many people from the district as they possibly can without stirring up a major fuss....

Oetien

A group of treasure hunters marooned on the arctic coast nearly succumbed to their wounds and the frigid cold as they battled the elements and the creatures beneath the waves. They've reportedly made contact with the goddess of storms, who swears to bring them assistance if they can just wait and hold their position.

Umbrage Isles

The war raging against Vaald's forces on Mount Vaaldera is coming to quick end. Without the protection of the old gods on their side, the paladins and clerics of Holy Bratikan can no longer hold the layers of forts erected deep into the Fire God's island. The knights are so overwhelmed that the vast majority of them have already died or fled the battlefield. It is believed that so many of the lost have been consumed by the devils that entirely new realms within Perdition are being born from the lava fields to support their gains. Although that war is coming to an end, the devils are reportedly clawing their way through Mount Vaaldera, too.
