Clan Nightriver has once again been made the center of attention among the Allied forces of Eastern Mardrun. After the attempted murder of two young boys in Pack Bloodmoon’s territory, the new Clanleader, and still Bloodmoon’s Pack Leader, Sylvir Bloodmoon has made it clear: this violence will not be tolerated in her lands. While she is unable to remove herself from the important task of readying the Clan for the likely heavy uptick in the war when Spring arrives, her choice to appoint a trusted member of her pack was well-received by both her pack, and the Clan Shattered Spear refugees who expressed concern about their safety in the area.
Jarl Zorwyn Bloodmoon is the appointed representative that should be contacted with any information pertaining to the attempted double-murder in Pack Bloodmoon’s territory. Information that leads to the capture of the criminal may be rewarded.
On another warfront: Clan Whiteoak has begun making preparations for a Mordok attack they anticipate to come in early-Spring. The lack of activity from the Mordok in the last few months has been very unusual, and the Clan believes this can only mean another large-scale offensive, not unlike the Silfurfal attack, should be expected from them. Being that they are solely-focused on the Shield Of Mardrun and not the Conquering, Clan Whiteoak expects to be more than ready to meet the Mordok threat swiftly and harshly, especially with the support of the other neutral clans.
Rumors of strange Syndar spending time in Newhope have finally been met with solid answers. The Syndar being escorted through the City-State are none other than the same Northern Syndar that have been in the city for over a year already. Now that they’re being shown around, there seem to be even more questions than before. What is their business here in the Southern lands? And, do they have anything to do with the other Northern-populace, the Stonetooth?
Duke Aailmyr, the newest member of the Newhope Council, having been deeply focused on his project of creating a training program for up-and-coming Enchanters, has finally announced that the program is ready to open enrollment! With this project of his concluded and the Market District’s very fancy Enchanted Lamps still burning strong, many are watching excitedly to see what the new Duke’s next big move will be.
In news of the Conquering, many have reported sightings of a traveling bard group from Newhope traveling along frontlines and playing their music for the fighters there. Spirits are notably lifted everywhere they go, noticeably enough for their actions to be talked about long after they’ve moved on to another stage.
In one final update from Clan Nightriver regarding the Conquering: the strip of land known as “The Pass” is still mostly controlled by Grimward forces. However, all flanking routes have been cut off completely, and there is enough land controlled by Nightriver that nearby homes and villages should rest easy, knowing that their warriors stand as a mighty buffer between them and the enemy.
