Herald’s Quarterly 9169, 1st Quarter

The Chains of the Lich Lords Tighten

The Ork knight, now dubbed the Chieftan of All-Sleep, has smashed the army of Kaald, restoring the supremacy of the Lords of Undeath in the north. It was a brief moment where the forces of the north seemed poised to make gains, but it was snatched away. The Chieftan of All-Sleep lead a never before seen army of Orrish zombies and skeletons that was smashed by northern powers that included Theodrose and his knights, Kaald, and even elements from Gwinn showing a rare amount of unity. The armies at North Gate Garrison gained a reprieve for a month though, and defenses were improved.

The Soul Scourge Continues

The Gruxand Incident (“The Soul Scourge”) of CY 9168 – The High King has begun to raise an army of elves of Ynth and men. There is a corruption in Vale Evander, and the many wizards there are doing their best to halt its spread. The strange druids of The Fertile Crescent have been summoned to see if they can heal the world and reverse the effects. A great shadow has formed in the Vale Evander, growing ever eastward toward Ynth, seeking sustenance in the life force of the ancient home of the elves.

It is thought that there are missing years in the timeline due to strange bendings of life and death.

Peace Talks Between Gwinn and Dunstrand

Black sails color the storm skies. She spent three years off the Storm Coast wrecking pirates, now she is making her way to Bar-Innis. The Emperor’s Answer, newest flagship of the Gwinnish Navy, sails into Lilymarch for peace negotiations. Her elementals cause a high wave along the shores of Dunstrand, flooding inland. The shores were evacuated before she came, arriving exactly on time.

She hails from a day when the massive Battle Barges of the Sea Kings sailed up the large rivers and plied the coasts of the western heartlands. Her hull is said to be wrapped in the skin of a kraken. She pushes a massive break water as she moves, like she is riding a surge. Her dark black sail is always pregnant with the wind. She has a deep and massive keel and her reinforced bow is obviously for breaking the spine of other ships. It is an ominous vessel that makes little noise as its large form pushes across the surface of the water. The crew are always active but silent. Wisps of mist trail off of her wake rising to the air and flowing over the water and away from the boat. It is obvious, were it to stay put, that it would conceal the boat in a camouflage fog bank. There are many spaces in multiple banks of oars. None seem to do more than skim the water in order to propel it. The water it’s on seems to flow forward and the sails catch the slightest breeze seemingly to propel the massive craft with a crew of 400 in any direction the navigator likely wants.

Word spreads of an attack on the ship, just outside Dunstrand’s territorial waters. Lightning ripped the sky, and thunder echoed across the water. Only rumors abound, no details are clear.
