Dungeon Goodness
1. Sorrow has been rumbling! The vermin at the Block have multiplied and the Hammers have been keeping a goblin infestation under control. Rumors that the Recasting on Jubilation woke the dungeon up.
2. The Gentlemen of Success (GDD 638 - North Gate) have made a concerted expedition into the Sorrow! On their last venture they spoke of the Great Halls beneath the Gauntlet ... a place of giants.
3. The Night Runners (GDD 719 - Smouldering Wharf) leadership has had a mighty blow - a confirmed TPK of their most senior members a dungeon on the wharf. The new crew is continuing the contract, but their standing among the Guild is in question.
Political Nonsense
4. With the Jubilation celebration over and Summer in full swing, the Collective of Farm Guilds is throwing their weight around, and many of the non-collective guilds are considering retribution.
5. The Hammers have a new commander! Redzik the Wise has retired to a country estate and now Ophelia Crownhammer (formerly of the North-central Branch) has the Gavel of Justice. Petrik and Asgud (Lieutenants inside Haven) are strong supporters, but the other three Lieutenants of luke-warm at best. Levin Gasoux now in charge of the North-central Branch is said to have had several public arguments with her.
6. A new deacon, Wendell Worthington, has been making a name for himself in Old Town among the nobles. The Church has suggested that his rhetoric of Divine Right is not in alignment with current doctrine, but his longstanding charitable works (with hearty donations from various noble houses) are highly valuable. Not all of the nobles houses agree with his statements
Weird Shit
7. A ship, tattered and beaten with no obvious crew is floating on the edge of the Dome, wandering in and out. No-one has taken it upon themselves to investigate.
8. A young woman was found dead near the Wall covered in inexplicable injuries some alchemists are calling "chem-burns". A nearby tower was reported to have been "taken over for a short while by some sort of gang". The two incidents may be related, but without knowledge of the teen (a Jane Doe) and a lack of identification of the gang (well armed from one report) no more is known.
9. A rogue wizard has flooded a field in New Hope village after an apparent conflict with the elderly farmer who was offering him board at her farmhouse. Some claim this ties in with a well in Quail Point overflowing with rancid filth, but nothing has been confirmed. The wizard has since disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.
10. On two separate occasions, mysterious floating women in golden armor with flowing blue robes have whisked away the recently dead claiming to take them to "a better place". The Hammers are actively searching for more information, as one of their own was taken up. The Magistarium is turning a portion of their efforts on research as well. On both occasions the strangers disappeared in a flash of "wan green light that smelled of foreign spices".
Outside The Dome
11. A Storm Titan was seen on the horizon, surrounded by a pair of tornadoes. Wall Wardens report that the Titan looked right at them and even pointed before disappearing into the mountains northwest of the Derembel Forest and Trogdic Hills.
12. The Spiced Winds, smelling of clove, cinnamon, persimmon, and plum, have started. This good omen is though to be a sign that the year will be bountiful ... but on the farthest horizon those that watch the Endless Grey say the Bitter Storm is boiling with more lightning than usual - and great shadows have been seen dancing among the thunderheads.
