The strange ghost ship seems to have disappeared from around Webster's Landing and Dragon's watch, only to be sighted in the south, making for the east, toward the ruins of the old Thayan enclave.

Far from home, several members of the Hellshire Clan have been seen to have rented rooms in the Hamley. Talk has been overheard that a grain shipment destined for a farmer's herd has disappeared. While a broken wagon was found along the road north of the Watch, it has been sitting there for so long that there was almost nothing of value left. A nearby crate filled with rodent droppings was found but nothing else.

A deadly attack by an enraged flock of bane crows have left several dead and more wounded in the Crossroads.
Witnesses report that the savage birds seemed to be targeting a local dining establishment that had often operated out of the area. Kreis soldiers refuse to report any additional details, but the woman who worked at the stand was said to have suffered a terrible fate at the wrath of the fowl.

Rumor has it that there is a man in foreign armor approaching the various civilizations around the island, speaking with those who are willing to talk on their histories. He's seeking those who craft and build, or create, looking to build components with very specific tolerances in mind, particularly those deeply tied to these settlements and their histories.
"Yeah, this guy, he's real polite, asks a lot of questions. Often talks with the guards, gets their feel on certain weapons, and he talks with the smiths too. He's got some particular weapons himself, curved swords. Wonder what's up with him gettin all curious?"
So far, this man was seen around: Hammersong, Steinkreis, Hamley, Greenvale, Feywood, Dragon's Watch, and Sandburrow Bay
He's not been seen around the Iron City, The Split Rock Tribe, nor the holdings of the Bloodguard, He has also not been seen around the less hospitable, monsterous settlements.

"Yeah, ah, don't be think'n like 'at, the other one was a small one by the town hall, near the mill. Other one is in the middle, the one with the full kitchen and dinin room?" "Oh aye? Well, guess they reckon to stay fer a while!"

Locals noted that whatever business had the Clan hold up in Hamley has been concluded as most of the group there was seen packing up and leaving. A load of grain was rushed out of the settlement shortly after their departure, unusually quick for the place but most speculated it was related to the missing grain shipment the Clan had been asking about.
Further south, travelers and residents at the Crossroads spotted oxen being delivered and later being received by some half orcs. Some say its related to some great feast, others its a horrific ritual, most think its nothing special.

A swarm of spiders and infernal magic descended on the Greenvale mage's tower. Kallista D'Mora and Melphaecto are rumored to have appeared on the tower roof, engaging in a brief battle with Greenvale's mages.
Though the heroic actions of mages Teron Dian and Elith Sianicen were able to drive the pair off, spiders briefly swarmed the tower. The students avoided the worst, but the spiders appeared to be searching for something within the tower library.

Some interesting talk is coming out of crossroads, a few adventurers are looking to make an adventure to some, darker placer, in search of a trader of rare coins. Among them, a Hin wearing some Wanese clothing, a Hellshire member, and an auspicious man in dark clothes.

Dwarven curses and the sounds of hammer blows ring throughout the third floor of the Wizard's Tower in Greenvale, as it seems a new student has taken up residence near the magical forge.

The Empyrean are seeking witnessed related to a bloody massacre in the basement of a house in Hamley. The bodies of several heavily armed men and woman were found scattered about as if someone had fought their way through them. The owners of the house have also vanished without a trace.
In the Grey Iron Mines it is reported that the two members of the Hellshire Clan and a Hin were spotted entering into the mine and a loud battle commenced deep in its depths. Some time later the three were seen leaving battered, bloody, and nearly dead. There was no comments made as to the events given that it wasn't unusual for adventurers to make the journey into the depths to clear them out of monsters.
Somewhere in the underground of Steinkreis a human has discussed events with a half orc and those who skulk in the shadows hear rumors that the half orc is most displeased with the wasted investment of resources "up north".
