Penumbral Post - July

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

All has been quiet in Auryx'nam, as though the whole continent held its breath with anticipation for a climactic event.

Mesdev

In this world, there are many good and decent people who strive to live their lives to the fullest extent the universal laws can allow. But there are those who step beyond their station to dare the impossible. Girda the Pale, a goddess reborn, is one such entity. Fate, however, is not on her side though she may see it. A paladin of hers knows in their hearts that her path is not a righteous one. Our sources suggest that vengeance shall be their guide instead.

Losamyn

Mayhem was unleashed in the city of Reva-Tiran. Our spies indicate that a prominent noblewoman, Merwin of the Silverwind district, was assassinated in the capital's own bath houses. It's a place of tranquility where even the most daring of nobles wouldn't dare to strike. Whispers abound regarding a hidden force in the city capable of such violence.

As if those deaths weren't bad enough, the manor home of Eutropius Masha is under attack by a magical ape that strikes at foes from the very earth below the guard's feet. Whatever the assailants want is unknown, but the Kedis will have their answers. Even now the defenders close in on victory at the manor.

Oetien

Though the seas slumber in times of rest, they do so in the embrace of the black storm that has swallowed this part of the world.....

Umbrage Isles

Watchfire Hold glows with the necrotic light of souls recalled to life by a powerful artifact. In the hands of the watcher, these spirits threaten to overwhelm the peace so recently established in the castle. A confrontation between undead father and living son is about to decide the fate of the island at the spiritual peak of Nortemar's strength.

While Nortemar fights its demons, those belonging to Vaald struck a death blow to the forces of Holy Bratikan stationed on the Vaaldera. The fireborn creatures have finally, after thousands of years, reclaimed the entirety of their island. Only the lord of fire knows where the armies will strike next.
