CLOSURE OF THE KRUSEV ROAD

[Xarkly 12761]

NOTICE FROM THE TREASURY

CLOSURE OF THE KRUSEV ROAD

 

 

 

TUEZK AG ARANYZ

 

Issued by the

TREASURER

On this 13th day of Vzmey and Hyff of 465 E.S.

UPON MY NAME AS VANHART THE CARROT

 

It was reported to the Aulic Government that, earlier this week, a creature of unknown origins dug a number of tunnels in the vicinity of the Royal Capital of Karosgrad. One of these creatures allegedly surfaced on the Krusev Road, afoot the Twin Knight statues of Ser Rodrik and Nikolaus Kortrevich, and wrought havoc upon the Road.

 

Though the path has seldom been used except by hunters and pilgrims since the Fall of Krusev in the Rimetroll War, some one-hundred years ago, the Office of the Treasury shall undertake to restore the Road  before the winter snows set in. 

 

It remains the qualified opinion of the Office of the Treasury that this incident is the latest in the ongoing Vampiric epidemic. There is little doubt that this Creature - this Darkspawn - is a new breed of Vampire capable of digging through the earth, unleashed upon by Kongzem as revenge for the Great Garlic Edict that has crippled Vampiric influence in the north.

 

Through consultation with eyewitness accounts and liaison with the best artists the Kongzem has at its disposal, the Treasury has recreated this accurate sketch of the Creature by way of warning to the Haeseni populace:

 

 

Remain vigilant, my fellow Haensemen. Remain steadfast.

Doom upon all Darkspawn.

 

 

IM NAMEN DES KONIGS,

Ser Vanhart 'the Flying Carrot' Barclay

Lord Treasurer of the Kongzem of Hanseti-Ruska

ALEKSANDR KUSORAEV keeps a keen eye out for any of these spoken of tunnels. For avoiding, of course.

Kor'garr the Clanless looks with wide eyes at the image of the 'vampiric creatures'. He then rereads the description of the tunnels being made.
