From the singed, but not burnt Hooded Claw. Umbra University
Again it was time for the Drama to unfold in splendid majesty. Amongst the assembled throng were Edmund Fairholm and the Lady Ravida. Those denizens of darkness the Shadow Court were there in large numbers as were crowd pleasers Cerys and Ultimor Slowtree.
The night seemed to focus around Callum and a strange set of theories he has linking Saktoths gate at Nohkmar with the Void Shadow the current lack of Virtue in our lands and Jordan Jurell. It seems the Nohkmar Gate was a place watched by the Council and that Jordan ?Goldielocks? Jurell himself claims the Void Shadow chamber is not ?of Sosaria?.
Callum kept mentioning an ante-chamber much to the delight of Cerys and Ultimor who didn?t realise ants had their own chambers.
More sense was spoken by Lady Ravida ? a witness to the Void Shadows destruction who retold of her findings related to the rifts. It seems to this author she concurred somewhat with mad Callum?s theory slightly. I would hope Ravida can send her thoughts to us in a cohesive sense as I would hate to misquote her here?
Muldran Skull just seemed to gasp a lot. Court Jester Roxanne of Vesper asked salient questions but this author had lost interest by this point.
Sources tell me the Shadow Court will be making a field trip to this Void Chamber tomorrow night ? to perform more of their unspeakable rituals? Beware ?
A Note Found?
Walking late along the paths around Trinsic this author did no less than discover a small piece of paper which caught his eye. It seemed to smell of rose perfume which in itself was unusual. It was lodged in the brickwork of a ruined house not far from a cemetery near Trinsic. There were signs of fresh earth scattered around, and feeling myself stalked by a strange robed figure I did make my way by haste away before reading of it.
The text is repeated here for your delectation:
?Darkness has returned, and I have come with it. Or have I? I have no body, I lost my soul a long time ago ? The child! My child. It must come to Her. Beyond the Black Gate ... Do what I ask, for I am Venom and She is your Queen. I command you! Bring Her the child!?
More History!
It seems Drax Drodun ? once of the Lost Lands Lighthouse has been seen around Trinsic and he is carrying papers and clutching them to his chest. Sources reveal he is ?acting like a madman? and talking of the Void and Dreamers and NuJelm and Black Rock.
Perhaps this is more of a conspiracy than we originally thought.
Orcs!
Civilians be wary, your fearless reporter can exclusively reveal that a new Orc Fort has been built to the north of Vesper. Although we cannot confirm if it in fact is home to a band of Orcs, we have noticed the increased amount of strange figures walking around in hooded robes which certainly smell like Orcs.
Not much is known about these hooded figures, but a farmer outside Trinsic has stated that a foul smelling man approached her wearing a robe covered in Shamanistic Idols and started asking her questions in broken Britannian. The questions you ask? Well, apparently it wanted to know the whereabouts of the Shadow Court and a certain Callum Fitzhugh .
This information is backed up by reports from Trinsician guards and also regular commuters to Vesper, where they have been spotted also.
Does this mean that The Shadow Court is in league with a Orc Clan? Certainly a rather grumpy hooded figure was sat on the front row for the recent Umbra University lecture, and seemed more interested in watching Callum than listening to the lecture.
At this moment, we aim to send a reported to catch the scoop from a Shadow Court member. But for the time being, citizens be wary, something is afoot. If anyone has more information about this story, please write into the Poste and let us know.

For all that care,
The Elves would like to thank all that have participated in the Search for our Guildmistress VanQa.
I wish the news we have from the Elven Quarter could have been only good news, yet it is only half good news.
The Lady VanQa remains in a deep sleep since she has been found. This sleep could last a day, but also a week, a month or maybe even longer.
According to the Healer she has suffered severe trauma to the head, that and the combination of great loss of blood may be the cause of this long sleep. However we suspect it could also be the mental strain that prevents her from waking up as the losses to her and her family recently are great.
For her own safety and to provide better care, the Lady VanQa shall be taken to Eska'eldalie. People that wish to say their farewells should do so before the evening of Tuesday the 2nd has ended.
Her injuries have been cared for as well as possible, but those who go see her we would like to prepare you for the following: Scars (strange symbols) are still visable on most parts of her skin.
It is the family's wish to leave judging the Drow in the hands of others that are more capable of performing an unbiased trial.
