From the shaken but not stirrred Hooded CLaw. Umbra Univeristy a Hit 
The lecture last night was given by no less a personage than the University's hostess, Lady Aryala, on the subject of the necromantic order of Umbra, its history and philosophy.
Apart from the usual collection of seekers of knowledge shady characters crept in to doze on the benches, the University welcomed Trinsic's guard captain Kaelyn. Since she has also been organising lessons for the children of Trinsic, this young lady shows a sympathy for learning unusual in one of her calling.
The lecture covered a great deal of ground, but the speaker refuted the commonly held idea that death is a force in itself. She stated that her order collaborates with consenting spirits who willingly cooperate in return for continued access to the material world.
Once again the audience were enlightened and enriched by the experience, and retired afterwards to the bar to be refreshed by the excellent selection of beverages kept by Thorpe the barkeeper.
It is to be hoped that Kaelyn is not the only person in the major cities who is willing to suspend their prejudices and risk learning something that might challenge them!

I have yet to receive a full report on this but from the eye-witness accounts mention ?carnage? ?mutilation? ?despair? and an awful lot of earth was eaten by many a brave adventurer.
Lady Flame made a call to arms and many heeded her call ? despite their differences and for the glory of Soaria they came , they fought and they fell to these new invincible fighting machines. Rumor has it a new assault will be tried soon.
We will try and bring you more news as it happens.
