Notes.. Broadsheets left by a "concerned citizen" in Steinkreis and Hamley have been torn down. People say a knight of the Celestial Order tore them down as he he spoke to those watching, that any rumor or claims about Lady Cassia attacking anyone but those deserving; Devils, Demons, Kin of the Dragon army and other of ill intent are false. The assault of the Iron City is done with the Light and Andarus at our backs and that we should not fear and have faith that tomorrow will be brighter.

Rumours from the south tell of a sudden and dark assault on the Gates of Greenvale by none other than the drow witch, Kallista Mora!
Those few, too few, survivors stationed outside the gates at the time speak in shudders of a darkness the drow called to descended on their ranks, sapping at their strength, and depleting their numbers.
Rallied by the russet-haired daughter of House Fehrien the valiant defenders did their best to hold firm in the dark, but many fell. With the coming of the dawn the darkness left as did apparently the drow. The bodies of those who fell were gathered, so they shall be mourned and buried in the elven manner.
One body however could not be found - it is grim tiding which greet House Fehrien this morning.

A patrol of Kreis knights, as well as a single Crossroads caravan guard, are found slaughtered.
In the days following, an illness spreads among some of the Steinkreis guards, leaving them bed-ridden. While quite contagious by touch, the disease is not terribly dangerous, and is easily treatable with healing magic, and quickly contained.
Additionally, a poisoning has taken place at the Ogre Belly Inn in low-town. The symptoms are terrible, debilitating stomach pains, leading to the death of one elderly patron. One of the victims, a woman who had not previously shown any magical ability, started casting firebolts uncontrollably, leading to a minor housefire.

Word among the common folk spreads in the Iron City that an inquisitor pulled his weapon in the middle of a courtroom proceeding and began attacking his colleagues. Rumor said the room burst into fear and confusion as the following mayhem left the room painted in carnage. Solicitors ran in panic or befuddlement.

A rogue pit fiend cut a brief swath through Iron City Forces in the square below the eyes of the Azuul Memorial. It was swiftly brought down by responding Hellknights, but not before the deaths of a little under 10 knights, rumors say.

Rumors start to circulate around the Watch. A Vandal Assassin sneaks about!
Official story is too much alcohol and imaginations is involved and no such thing as a Raven's assassin has been seen inside the fort.
But among the patrons of Eyrie the word is something else, What does this mean? Is Krel pulling strings from behind the grave? Have they come to kill us in the sleep? What wrong had they done!? Nothing! They just try to live a normal life!
And in the barracks, Those who gave in to the new regime and switched colours, are they safe? I could have sworn the new drakes gave me odd looks this morning!

The bodies of 17 Brotherhood Rangers were found north of the Trade and Tackel. Their bodies were stuck with what looked like orcish arrows. A note pinned to one of them was said to read: "Thanks for the target practice. Signed, Dorina the Orc."

The word on the streets of Steinkreis speaks of a handful of children, about five of them to be exact, have vanished, and have not been seen in at least few days now. Of particular coincidence is the fact that all of the five children have at one point mentioned encountering the "pretty Dark Lady", and many speaking on the streets of this are quick to pin the blame on this Dark Lady.
