Penumbral Post - October

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

Diogenes, god of knowledge, was forced to defend his own tower, leaving the fates of our heroes momentarily back into their own hands. Once they were alone to their own devices again, they discovered the priests supposed to be lingering within the tower above them had all perished before rescuers could arrive. While exploring the priest's chambers, however, the would-be saviors tripped a nasty cloud of magic that used the bodies of the priests as demented puppits with which to challenge the party's egress.

Losamyn

The Infinity Ape and company reportedly surged into the new demiplane they had captured to find the place a picture of beauty defiled by soem polluting essence. It did not take them long to stumble onto one such polluted creature, whome they managed to purge of any impurities. Rumor has it that the gates to leave this place are blocked by the very spirits of decay and death that have ruined this realm. Will they be able to overcome that threat?

Elsewhere in the realm, mortals shudder with worry or pain as the presence of gods can be fealt throughout the realm acting in ways never before felt. Something has drawn the gaze of several divine creatures to this land and the competition for all the unclaimed faithful has begun in earnest across the city of Reva-Tiran. In a desparate plea to remain neutral, the citizens of Reva-Tiran have done the unthinkable: Mon Kedis and Mon Jura have acted together in unison to fight back against the gods. Worshippers unlucky enough to try their hand at faith have found themselves assassinated or executed across the city just as soon as new shrines are erected. The faithful have reportedly begun going to ground to avoid the watchful eye of the city officials.

Mesdev

The deserts of the Quirrim Crescent are facing a strange abnormality this past cycle...Our spies report small crowds of foreigners teleporting into the cities without proper identification or purpose. Even worse, yet, many of the Mechan monstrosities sent from Hierus have invaded our lands. Each group of illegal immortals will, of course, easily be extinguished as the imperial mandate demands.

Oetian

In the depths of a forgotten ocean lies a forgotten island. Within it sits a forgotten pool of water: the waters of eternity. Over the All Hallow's Eve festival this year, the pool of water was under siege by the Goddess of Storms, who is apparently conspiring with dark, eldritch horrors. At her beck and call rages a whirlwind of dark fury and a horde of fish-plagued pirates hungering for damnation. To complete her dread task, Boora brought adventurers from across the globe to successfully secure the deadly death skull Sqribbles and the waters of eternity. The world trembles as the Goddess prepares to visit her empowered wrath across the globe.
