Rumours of Mysterious Battles	August 30, 2008
Rumours have also reached Libidizedd of a battle between mysterious, titanic forces far to the south. Word passed by the sailors arriving on the docks tells of a great battle on the barren slopes of the Volcano Nightscree. Little is known about the forces involved. Some terrified hunters searching for food in the nearby plains tell of hordes of monsters boiling out of the ground to attack daimonic beings of unknown origin and terrifying size. Analysis of their tales brings the estimate to an astonishing, and absurd, total of nearly 16,000 CS of monsters attacking a horde of other-worldly beings less than a fifth their own size. If this were true, then this monstrous horde would be the largest military force ever seen across the entire continent. What is even more astonishing as that tales say the invading horde of monsters actually lost, and was routed by the smaller force. They must be fearsome beasts indeed to defeat a force much larger than themselves. What little truth is held in these rumours is unknown. No doubt much exaggeration is held in them. But there is a small kernel of truth in there somewhere, and there is no doubt that there are titanic forces at work near Volcano Nightscree.

Viridian Under Siege	August 30, 2008
Word has reached Libidizedd that the city of Chrysantalys, capital of the realm of Viridian, is under siege by a large force of monsters. Those of us who travel frequently on the western subcontinent are familiar with the hordes of rampaging monsters that breed in the mountains and vast tracts of unpopulated lands. The monsters have grown bold this recent winter. Not only have they attacked outlying rural villages, but the have directly assaulted core regions of several realms, including Astrum and Everguard. Now they have grown even more bold and attacked the capital city of Viridian, swarming over it in unstoppable hordes. In their usual manner the monsters have been killing the peasantry and eating all the food they can find. Unless something changes very soon, this could be the end of Viridian.
