Valley News

The following reports have been released by the Kern Valley Guilds for Green Growing Moon.

Oasis of Souls

There have been numerous reports about increased activity in the vicinity of the Oasis of Souls; in particular there appear to be multiple small skirmishes against the Easterlings by members of the Northern Alliance.  It has also been reported (but not verified) that a number of the Kalid groups attacking the Easterlings have been accompanied by Morgul Wraiths.  There have also been unconfirmed reports received that Barud Tirgul have sent a number of groups towards the Oasis of Souls, presumably to be used as reinforcements.

Shadowsfall

The Shadowsfall have announced that a Time of Reckoning will be held within two weeks. All Guild Leaders have begun the preparations of swearing fealty and confirming the situation of their Guild members. All members of the Kern Valley have been asked to report to their superiors and re affirm their loyalty.

Catacombs of Agoth

There have been increasing encounters between forces of Agoth and the Kern Valley, although no significant encounters to date have been reported.  There have not been any reports from the other Towers encountering hostility from the Catacombs of Agoth.  Worthy of note is that there have been repeated attempts by the Catacombs of Agoth to enter the Aldonar Tombs.  The Humacti Sect and Necromancers have increased their presence in this area.

White Retreat

The Humacti Sect have confirmed that all Undead summoned onto Orin Rakatha appear to have the ability to cast some Black Magic.

The Humacti Sect have informed us that Necromancy has grown alarmingly stronger upon Orin Rakatha, it appears possible for some Necromancers to cast vocal length ritual invocations and the summoning of Undead appears to have become easier. The Necromancers Sect has confirmed this.

Wolfhold

There have been numerous reports that some members of Wolfhold are unable to leave their Tower (particularly those from the Commons), with others finding it increasingly difficult.  It would appear that new bureaucracy has been implemented which requires written authorisation by a Lord of Wolfhold (or their representative) before being allowed to leave.  There has been no official statement from Wolfhold although some sources have stated that Wolfhold are merely conducting an internal Census and wish to properly monitor their population.

Dai-Fah-Dyne

The DFD have announced that the World Window has now been repaired, at great cost, and is once again open for business.  However, the DFD have stated that the Kern Valley are not permitted to use the World Window until they have agreed compensation for being the ones responsible for breaking the World Window.  It has been reported that the first Tower to use the World Window have been the Host of Veranon, who have sent a large number of groups from Orin Rakatha.

Kern Valley

Preparations for the wedding of King Paullandiss are proceeding apace at the new settlement of Kingsfort in the ancient Valley lands on Murandir.

A number of people from the Commons have already moved to Murandir, accompanied by Guild representatives and members of the Army. It is understood that the King is currently in Empire lands, and will soon be bringing his bride-to-be back to Kingsfort, but as yet nobody seems to have set eyes upon ‘the Widow’, as she is known. The recent announcement of a Time of Reckoning has sent those organising the event (particularly Priest Edwin) into something of a panic as guest lists are rearranged at the last minute, but the King is clear that the wedding will proceed as planned. It is rumoured that fabulous prizes have been set aside for those who are victorious in the various tourneys and the revelry and ribaldry that will accompany the King’s stag night remains a popular topic of conversation and speculation in the various Alliance taverns.
