  Rumours by Region 
   
  Azure Coast 
   
  Longbridge, the Province of 
  the Azure Coast 
   
  Patchwall 20, 592 CY 
  Having buried their dead and 
  sung the last laments, the people 
  of Solliton and Naerway have 
  begun efforts to repair the damage inflicted during 
  this last summer have begun. Large communal 
  services were held to at all of the town's temples, 
  shattered though they are, the blasphemous marks 
  of desecration only freshly removed. For several 
  days, the sky was darkened by the smoke from the 
  pyres 
  and 
  the 
  streets 
  were 
  thronged 
  with 
  processions bearing bodies of the slain to either 
  burial grounds or to the river. Now however, the 
  work of recovery has begun in earnest. His Grace, 
  Duke Gellan has drafted men of the Militia to bolster 
  the deleted ranks of the garrison and has been busy 
  about the walls placing temporary barricades where 
  they 
  were 
  breached 
  by 
  the 
  relief 
  column. 
  Throughout the town those houses made unsafe by 
  fire or other destruction have been torn down and 
  the rubble begun to be cleared. Even in the cool 
  days of winter, life has begun to return to Longbridge 
  once more.  
   
  Gilderond 
   
   Arbend, the Province of 
  Gilderond  
   
  Ready'reat 13, 592 CY 
  Strange and disquieting tidings 
  have come to the headquarters 
  of the 2nd Braetad in Arbend 
  upon the plains of the Gildenlea. Spies and scouts 
  who have returned from forays behind the lines of 
  the host of the Scarlet Sign arrayed before Scant 
  have reported unseasonably thick and heavy fogs 
  hanging over the city, the Great Harbour and the 
  entire coast as far as Cape Obelstone this past 
  several weeks. Though the weather has been calm, 
  such dense and dreary fogs have not often been 
  seen in those parts in living memory. Moreover, 
  strange lightnings, fiery spirits of the air and other 
  grim omens have been seen about the spires of 
  Obelstone Keep, though no obvious cause could be 
  discerned. The scouts, were, in any case most 
  reluctant to tarry further in that locale and made 
  haste east to safety. Such tales have spread 
  disquiet 
  and 
  apprehension 
  among 
  the 
  local 
  populace and the men of the Army of Rebellion 
  alike. 
   
  Eastern Marchlands 
   
  Killdeer, the Province of the 
  Eastern Marchlands 
   
  Ready'reat 3, 592 CY 
  The Killdeer Kyndaerad of the 
  Free State Navy returned to port 
  this day after its first patrol of 
  Dunhead Bay since the last tempest of autumn. The 
  squadron reported no contacts with any vessels 
  bearing the Scarlet Ensign and all ships and their 
  complements returned home safely. Of interest 
  however, to many in the town and particularly in the 
  Duke's Keep was the sighting of three warships 
  bearing the golden sun and nightingales of Ahlissa 
  between Norland Point and the Tusk at the entrance 
  to Dunhead Bay. This is the first time in nearly a 
  decade that Ahlissan vessels have been sighted so 
  far west from their havens at Trennenport and 
  Shargallen.   
   
        Storm Coast 
   
  Sornhill, the Province of the 
  Storm Coast 
   
  Patchwall 25, 592 CY 
  Since their triumphant return 
  from their victory in Longbridge, 
  the men of the Storm Coast 
  Braetad of the Army of Rebellion 
  have spent the cool autumn and 
  winter months drilling and training in the fields before 
  the town. Halwyr, their commander, has placed 
  notice of a draft of men of the Militia Recruits to 
  replace those Regulars who fell at Longbridge. The 
  Braetern, with the permission of Her Grace, Duchess 
  Sailema, has also placed orders of requisition on all 
  surplus foodstuffs in those parts of the Province 
  under the weal of the Free State. Weekly drills of the 
  Militia in all major towns and settlements have also 
  been ordered. Halwyr and his staff have been 
  characteristically silent on the matter of what this 
  activity portends, though there are opinions aplenty 
  to be found in the keghouses of the Harbour Town of 
  Sornhill.
