The Turbulent Times

Issue #2

e broke the story last time and have confirmed the reports. Goblins are fighting for Britain. That's right, those British in South Saxon are getting extra help from the goblins. The details of the treaty formed by Prince Cadwallen and those ugly armies is not known but the reports are that those settled there are feeling a little more relieved.

This could have larger impacts than those just felt in South Saxon. Numerous reports have indicated that the Saxons are intensifying their actions in bordering British countries and this deal strikes the Saxons in the very heart of their own territory. This may be the very thing that signifies the end of Saxon occupation.

Many of you may be concerned about a deal with such a questionable advisary but I think you would agree that the future of west saxon is important to all of us and that until now it didn't look good.

Only time will tell but in the mean time we will bring you the updates.

The Opinion Column In these pages we print your opinions. Let us know what you think. If you can't write than come over to our scribes and they will dictate for you. Please keep your opinions on the king and our wonderful country to yourselves, unless they are good - no point in loosing our heads now.   It is our duty to kill those Saxons. Every man needs to get out and fight. - Doyl Why can't those horse soldiers clean up after themselves. This town smells bad enough already - Pote How can we possibly fight the Saxons? They are stronger, better trained and have rune priests. What do we have? -Concerned I found that if you boil your water first it doesn't smell as much. - Ariel Why are people saying that the gods are smiling on Britain? What does that mean? - Raul

The Rumours Abound Saxons here? The recent concern over the presence of Alric here in Gwent has prompted reports of other Saxons in surrounding forests. These reports are causing concern for local farmers but the king has reassured them that these rumors are untrue. We will be keeping our eyes open. A unified Britain? The recent alliance with Lerion has people wondering what's going on. Some believe that there is a struggle for dominance for an upcoming attempt to unify Britain. Let's hope it doesn't backfire and tear Britain apart. So where is Rodrick? There have been sightings of Rodrick in Avalon. He has been seen boarding a boat to the isle there. It must be pretty important for he is rumored to have a terrible fear of water. Nighttime danger. a small pack of wolves has been spotted roaming the streets at night. There are no reports of missing children in these areas but do be careful. Brother's keeper. It has been reported by an anonymous source that Gailen is a kinslayer. maybe that is why he has been seeking a druid.

Obituaries Daron was killed by his wife after being caught with another woman. Alicia was trampled to death by stable horses. Stable boy had no explanation for why she was there or why he was wearing no clothes when authorities found him. Lorn is suspected dead after his brother found a trail of blood leading from his home. His horse and belongings are missing. Paul and Lori's 10 year old child was mauled and killed by Jon's dogs. There are repercussions expected. Unidentified body found in woods by Jori. It was a male but the body was unrecognizable. Any information in this matter would be appreciated. The farmers along rocky creek are believed dead from disease. This is not confirmed because no one wants to go there but the smell indicates that the worst has happened to them.

The Monster Corner We have all heard of the stories of wondrous and mystical creatures. Some we have no doubt exist but others make us wonder what plant the person ate that told the story. This section is to provide information to you just in case you ever run into one of these creatures. This issue's creature is the dragon. Tales of dragons have long existed but not many know how to tell the signs if one is in your area. If you are missing lots of livestock that disappeared overnight, then you might have a dragon problem. If you hear loud booming noises and see large objects in the sky then you might have a dragon problem. If adventurers are flocking to your area and all go by the name of dragonslayer then you just might have a dragon problem.
