MAKARIAN HORDE "ONLY ON VACATION"

According to sources close to Dictator Sordnaz, the steady stream of Makarian vikings that have been seen marching south for the past week are "only on vacation" and pose no threat whatsoever to the rest of the island, especially the smaller warring realms in the south. In response to complaints by multiple governments at what they viewed as unwarranted grass trampling, goat stealing and women leering, the Barony of Makar government issued a statement saying that the "BofM is not going on a raid." "Dis is jest a typical spring beach run, don'tcha know?" an unnamed spokesman said. "Da beaches are all frozen, an' da price a ale is goin' up by 40%, so we's are all headin' souse fer a vacation." Despite the assurances, several governments have put their militias on high alert. story by Lars
