Noble Aurum Kormatin of the Dusk,
Greetings from your fellow servants of the Nine. May Phidas extend his mantle of protection upon your noble endeavors.
Like most republics eventually do, the Barony of Demos has collapsed and been replaced by a new monarch. Unfortunately, this new monarch is a Tester known for his brawns and not his brains. A former lieutenant to the deposed King Mateo.
The new so-called king's lover bears an uncanny ressemblance to a certain auburn-haired Fumayan noblewoman living in exile.
Of lesser interest but closer to home, is a new lady adventurer named Fiona has appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the eastern Borderlands and has been seeking dangerous and visible quests, associating primarily with Zarthus' Lanterns. She claims to be a basket baby left at a Kantoca Zarthus temple close to the Border Baronies.
She has not demonstrated any sorcery or theurgy but by all accounts she is an exceptional warrior. Her fighting style and general social graces suggests knightly training.
Our informants that she arrived in the Barony of Bees roughly six months ago with nothing but a horse of superior breeding, simple peasant clothes, and a large sack of Swynfaredian minted silver coins. She bought weapons, armor, and adventuring gear all at once before engaging in her adventures.
We believe she is a Swynfaredan high-born squib under an assumed identity, but whether she is friend or foe remains unknown.
We follow other leads and rumors, of course, but I only report reasonably confirmed facts, not supposition and hearsay.
Regards,
Insert name and rank of NPC mask who has a name, and it's a boy's name
