SimplySeo 6999 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Nerroazkhron “Fear or phobia of the Underway, or the creatures that dwell within.” – 21st Edition Dwarvish-Common Lexicon By command of the King and Council (Penned by the office of the Lord Chancellor, 11th of Malin's Welcome 1740) In a horrific turn of events, the celebratory feast today took a terrifying turn as it was interrupted by creatures of the deep. Ever since the purging of the Alamar (Alar) from our lands, the gates of our fair city have always been open to the underways, inviting guests a’plenty to visit the riches of the Dwarvish capital. From this open gate emerged several dog-sized spiders which soon set themselves upon the feast-goers. Though quickly dispatched by the company of Dwarves in attendance, this has led to the startling discovery that our caves are, perhaps not as clear as we once believed them to be. Cave Spiders have historically plagued the Dwarves for centuries, however there was the hope that, with descendants coming to this new continent no strain of giant arachnid lived within it’s underway. This proved false. As of thus far, it is unknown if the creatures possess venom, though from our experiences with such beasts in the past, it is likely. The ones which attacked our folk this day seemed to range from cat-sized to that of a large dog, once more given our history with such creatures it is likely there are even bigger ones down in the depths of the underway, but this is yet to be proven. The King has seen fit to take temporary control of the Legion in this crisis until a suitable replacement is found. Furthermore, a bounty has been placed on every pair of spider legs returned to the King, or other such proof of slaying. Despite this, venturing into the underway to collect is not recommended, as such creatures appear to hunt in ‘packs’ to easily overwhelm their prey. The Legion is to be re-armed with polearms as they are the ideal melee weapon for fighting such creatures, once the forges of Clan Starbreaker are operational once more, spears and pikes are to be mass-produced for Legionaire and Civilian alike. Do not attempt to engage these creatures in close range, as once more we do not know what strain of Cave Spider we are dealing with. No one is to leave the city without another, and in the event one must make for the surface alone, a Legionaire is to accompany them. The following locations in the Underway are to be avoided by civilians at all costs until further investigation can identify the source of the infestation.
