Arcangrad Retainer Weekly

Ladies and Gentleman of the Old Empire and that of our blessed City of Arcangrad! Our enginsiums and datium masters have spent the last three years developing a treat for you! With the world constantly changing: necrotic plague breaking up north, dragonborn war with the tieflings, and immigrants coming from the feywild into our "lower worlds."

Fear no more friends. You will no longer have to rely on unstable and outside help. No more need to higher brutish half orcs and giants for self protection, no more need for snobby and questionable help from eladrin, no need for zealous dragon born.

Introducing the modulated servitors! We have finished our workings on a new type of servants. Humanoid, incredibly complex machines, and very loyal, these modulated servants will be hired out exclusively to the Old Empire's Citizens.

If you need of a perfect body guard or a soldier, hire out a loyal and disciplined war-modulated. Or if you of need of holy works or religious services, hire a divine modulated servant. In addition future models of psychic-modulated, arcane-modulated, and so on.

In only a few weeks, the contracts will be sold to the Empire's Citizens. As the datium masters explain, the modulated complexity is incredible and the modulated themselves will be given rights of any other living. Maybe not as much respect as Old Empire's human population, which is and always be a superior form of life, but these beings will be free. However their lack of need to eat or sleep, their loyalty, and their exclusive contracts for the humans, will make them into our own.

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

New Arcosians in Mourning

The Arcosian Dragonborn are in a period of mourning, as one of their High Imams, Indran bin Denor Salam, died recently. It was quite a shock for many, since he was in good health and was prominent in the public eye. Well loved by all, his calls to prayer and his religious speaches were favorites of many Arcosian. He will be put to rest later in the week, after the period of mourning and weeping has been met. As of know, the rest of the High Imams have cloisterd themselves away in mourning, and have not relased any information to the public.

Our hearts go to our Dragonborn neighbors, and as they say, "May the wings of the prophet carry you to serenity."

New Plague?

There has been a new decease outbreak around dwarven town called Halor’s Hearth. Only a small population has been infected by this new disease, and much is still unknown,but it has some very unusual symptoms. Most of the victims have been affected by paralysis of some sort, and some softer tissues and some skin patches have died on the on the living victims. In addition, people who have the disease are known to babble uncontrollably and experience disorientation, memory loss, and inability to eat. Even with the dwarven newly emerging unorthodox schools of medicine, the dwarves are unable to cure this sickness. It is still largely unknown how the sickness spreads, but the dwarves reassure the world in their effort to fight off this epidemic.
To quote one of the dwarven lords who commented on this issue, Lord Eberk Breaksmith: “We’re doing the best we can. Trying different combinations of ingredients seem to have fought off some of the symptoms, but enhances the others. We want to assure EVERYONE that somehow I always had the means to fight this epidemic, and we are currently mass producing the cure. As per instructions left to me, I will ship out and administer this new cure before this horrid plague gets any bigger.”

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
