A Volatile Week

 

Happy mid week Norland, this is Hanelore writing to you and everyone around the kingdom, here are the main headlines this week:

 

Skanarri Raiders

Skanarri Raiders intend to capture the Lunner Keep, an unmanned fort. Northguard and Rangers are halting their advances to do so. They could potentially split the land transportation between Varhelm and Elysium, gaining them a defensive hold in Norland. 

Northguard and Rangers plan to rally, mobilize a vessel, and defend with ballista or cannon fire. 

Sadly during this we lost Hali Kvitravn.

Underestimating the numbers of the opposing numbers, Hali rushed into the fray. He was cut off from allies by a large group of the savage tribesmen.

Hali fought valiantly until the end, though due to overwhelming numbers he was slashed in the neck, before being shoved down a hill.

May the All Father keep him.

 

Ireheart Dwarves raid Varhelm

A group of seven Ireheart Clan members recently snuck into Varhelm, attempting to rob citizens right in front of the Ashwood Tree. One brave citizen managed to send word to a family member in Elysium, leading to a rally call going out for Rangers from the Duchy to fight off the attackers. Meanwhile, Warden Edric Vildr ran to Varhelm and managed to ring the bell there, summoning the Northguard as well. A mixed force of civilians, Rangers, Northguard, and even a ferryman engaged the Irehearts, driving them out of the city successfully. No major injuries were received by citizens of Norland.

 

Canal and Settlement of the Raenrland

Plans are reaching fruition for a canal to be built to the Raenrland and the O'Hara Keep, the project is expected to take course over the next few years and will culminate with a settlement being built in the region. Further development of the region may follow with easier water access. 

In the meantime a road is being built south, please keep an eye on the traffic reports for updates in this project.

The king has announced intentions to establish a forward camp in the region to kickstart the process of taming the wilderness.

Folk are encouraged to employ their woodcraft, survival, and hunting skills to aid in the work.

Contact King Sven if you wish to offer your services.

 

The Hearth Forum

The First Hearth Forum gathering will be held later this year (Saturday 5PM EST). All followers of the Red Faith are invited to attend and voice their opinions on a range of issues pertaining to Norland and the Red Faith. Expect an itinerary to be released soon.

 Contact the Lord Purifier if you have a topic you wish to discuss. This will be the largest Red Faith dialogue seen for many years!

(Please do not contact the newspaper with proposals, we don't want them...)

 

A wily jester continues to be hunted in Elysium! Though causing no violence or harm, his tricks and games continue to prove to be challenges to overcome for those involved in hunting him.

Things to look forwards to in the next coming days:

Several hunts are taking place, please be sure to contact Alric Edvardsson with any questions.



 

Weather, traffic and threats 

 

It's gonna be another cold one up here, expect some more snow coming in from the north with gusts of rain blowing in from the west from over the ocean near Haense.

Traffic is clear mostly on the main roads leading in, do expect some congestion around the main gates at Elysium and Varhelm as per usual. Some back ups on the road to the O’Hara keep as works are expected there until the near future.

The current threat level is at a somewhat high alarm, please keep an eye out for bandits, Skanarri and Irehearts while traveling in and around the kingdom and report any and all activity if you see them within the area.
