Major Update!

More news has been recieved regarding the Elvara that have allegedly begun settling the northeastern region of our world. Gnollclaw Mountain has been completely changed. It is no longer a mountain but it has been flattened into a large plateu and the Elvara have begun constructing a settlement atop the plateu. According to the Elvara emissary, Andelthos Drethian, they have renamed the plateu "Balieth's Shield" named after their former king who was recently murdered. They have begun requesting trade with other nations and they have been exporting large amounts of stone and lumber to those who have agreed as well as importing other goods. Their economy seems to also be getting a boost from other goods that they craft. They have begun offering special tattoos to special clients and the tattoos seem to grant some special qualities to the person. They have also begun selling gems that are apparently blessed by some of their most powerful "drakes" who are often ridden by some of the Elvara, a detail they refuse to discuss.
After the recent tragedy that has befallen the Tiefling and Dragonborn empires they have also begun mobilizing their military, they have not revealed their intentions yet but the army has not yet gone anywhere.

Breaking news!

We have recieved word that emissaries were sent earlier in the week to contact the strange caravan that was spotted descending Titanspike Mountain (also earlier in the week). The [insert title of major authority figure of Wuu Tai here] has only released a small amount of information however. The people have identified themselves as the Elvara, more commonly known as the "Ancients" (and apparently the Storm Crows have been known to call them "Elfadrins"). this race is the distant ancestor of all of the elven races and was thought to have been wiped out hundreds of thousands of years ago. According to the commander of the forces descending the mountain, they were recently aided by the Storm Crows in ridding their nation of a faction that was bent on bringing them to civil war. this recovery from many years of political tension and constant attacks from demons has caused them to wish to extend themselves back into the "Lower Worlds". the [authority figure] has still not released any information regarding the strange glows emanating from Gnollclaw mountain and even now the glows are getting stronger and the mountain is even seeming to look slightly shorter than past reports.
more information will be published when we recieve it

Breaking news: Unkown caravan has begun descending Titanspike Mountain

A large caravan of elf like people was seen descending Titanspike Mountain yesterday. Titanspike mountain has long been known to connect our section of the world to both the feywild and the shadowfell. However most eladrin that come to our world come by airship. The people descending the mountain seem to have no form of airship technology. Witnesses have reported seeing dragons flying with them and apparently defending them. Those that have been reaching the ground have been heading north towards Gnollclaw Mountain, and strange glows have been seen emanating from the mountain. We have no other information at the time for that region has long been abandoned by most people due to demonic infestation. We will however attempt to keep you loyal readers up to date as we begin re-entering that region of the world thanks to the Storm Crows, who apparently cleared a major section of the area of the gnoll and demon infestation

"The Ellsmerana Crusade" - excerpt from the journal of Geldiron, Honor Guard

The outsiders were with us for several days. The people of Acreth obviously disagreed, that is probably what got them thinking about breaking away. Rayneyalt was a fool to think that the king would be disposed of so easily. Im glad the outsiders killed him when they could. I am still ashamed that i was unable to defend him though.... It most likely worked out for the better however. We now live prosperously under Godirref's rule. The war was very short, but still more horrifying than any other war i have fought in my lifetime. The magic that Telfrinor wielded (i later learned that he was Tesrinoth himself) was more foul than anything I have ever seen. Soldiers that feel no pain? How does a man agree to that? And the side effects they had to suffer through to get such a "blessing" more like a damned curse. Their eyes looked so empty... as if they had given up their sanity, their ability for emotion, their very soul! Yet another thing i have to thank the outsiders for... bringing these horrors to light. The horrors that were happening within our very walls. I will remember that night forever. We were returning from burning that damned fanatics camp when we saw the smoke. We hurried to Ibellona as fast as we could and took the waygate to the capital. The king spoke to the "Storm-Crows" about trying to break into the capital building of Acreth and trying to find a way to stop the madness of Telfrinor. He ordered us to go with him so we could attempt to hold of the seige and buy the Storm-Crows some time. The battle was long and difficult, we lost many great men that night. But when we saw the explosion from the capital, we knew that the Storm-Crows had succeeded. We ran as fast as we could to the building, just in time to catch them as they were leaving the building. Celebration of the end of the war was not as expected however. It began very grave and everyone was full of sorrow. For we had been repelling demons for years, only to find that it was a fucking traitor from within our walls who was summoning them! After the first day the mood seemed to lighten up however. The city began going back to the way it used to be. After the third day the outsiders told us that they needed to leave. That there were things on their world that needed to be tended to. The kings son performed the ritual to transport them to "where they were needed most" (I never have trusted him, he's always been very strange) I hope they have been brought home safely. The king says that within the next few months we will begin contacting the people of the lower world again. Perhaps we will one day be able to repay the Storm-crows for saving our nation. I hope I will be able to fight by their side once more!
