Rumors - Southern

Allanak:

Increase activity seems to be happening among the templarate and soldiers are seen gearing up.  No one can really say what's going on or even IF something is going, it's just something "in the air" making everyone feel like "something is happening":  The heightened tension in the way the blue robes talk to soldiers, a bit harsher punishments handed out for petty crimes.

A number of troops were seen leaving the city out of the east gate and heading north into the desert.  Estimates vary as to the numbers, but best guess is a couple hundred soldiers, multiple blue robes, and a scattering of gemmed were among the numbers.

The Southlands:

Word finally makes its way to all the corners of the south:  the current hostilities near Luir's are due to the discovery of an unknown-sized vein of metal in the ground.  Members of the Great Merchant Houses are working to extract it, while Allanak has moved forces north in an attempt to prevent the Tuluki barbarians from getting it.

Troops return to the city from their camp near Luir's Outpost, and the templarate claims victory and brags about the spoils of war, without even draw a drop of blood.

The village of New Menos has been overrun and captured by invaders made up of humans witches and muls, with a large number of gith allies.  Everyone waits with held breath to see what Allanak's response will be, but for now the village remains in hostile hands.
