Artist’s Depiction of the Giant


 


    Heed well, fair folk of beautiful Failor, for in the East there is evil. In our blessed coalition’s patrols of the newly secured Eastern Marches, we found not the cowardly cannibals we sought to drive from those lands, but rather the Undead. They stood sentinel upon the battlements of the abandoned fortress, and again we made entry, this time with holy work to be done. Yet, even as sword and axe cleaved necrotic flesh and shattered bone, a greater evil arose. From the earth was raised a great behemoth, a beast formed of the conjoined flesh of a great many corpses. But even in the face of such terror, not a man among that heroic band faltered, and least of all the mighty Princess Caraneth. With righteous fury in her heart, the young Harrenite Warlord set upon the beast. Putrescent flesh sloughed from its aged bones as she cut into it, and in vain she wailed upon the creature. At last, she resolved to scale the beast, climbing inch by up its form to finally drive her blade into its skull, and at last the giant was returned to the earth.

 

    To rest and tend their wounds, then, the gathered men returned to the Halfling village, whereupon they were joined by the Silver Elves of Haelun’or, much to their surprise and rejoice. Once well-rested, the men of the great coalition again set out, and once more they searched the Eastern Marches for their flighty quarry. Yet again did they catch the trail of those foul creatures and their grey-skinned, axe-wielding masters, and they tracked them into the blistering sands of the wasteland. There, they found and made war upon the cavern stronghold of these creatures. The Failorian natives and their demonic allies fought with the ferocity of rabid beasts, and back and forth their battle did rage. Great charging quadrupeds and flame-flinging wraith alike were in time felled, and the barbarian stronghold was scoured. Yet even then, the battles of the day were not yet ended, for when the warriors emerged from that cavern, they were faced with the roving madmen of the wastes. Though wearied by their many contests already, the brave and glorious men of the coalition again proved their mettle, and by skill at arms did they win, at last, a path to return to their homes.

 

Beware to those who travel in the East, for the troubles there are without cease.

 

AURË ENTULUVA!

Signed,

Her Royal Highness, Caraneth Aryantë Arthalion, Princess of Minas Amath, Conqueror of the Failorian North, Giantslayer, Harrenite Warlord
