[Across the Realms]
The occasional bright, glowing light that some adventurers have referred to as a 'snarl' has been appearing more frequently, however, instead of the mortal-sized head-shape 'snarls' have been diminishing in apparent size.

Those who take dreams seriously have been discussing images of foxes with dark maroon fur and golden eyes, taking turns leaping on a large egg nestled in the hollow of a short tree trunk. They bounce off of the egg, unable to break its shell. After a short while, they turn away from the large egg and soon find many smaller eggs laid in nests hidden among tufts of grass. These eggs are smashed and devoured with gusto.
[Chimeron]
The streets of every village, town, and city within the Kingdom are filled with celebration and mourning. The long fight for Darkvale is over.
~~~
Sergeant Martyn Greenfield–in charge of the First Corps of the non-heroic Militia–has announced his intention to retire from the military after a decade of service. His successor has not yet been identified.

Travelers in Chimeron reported a group of animalistic fae who identified themselves as Pooka asking for directions to Rhiassa. They seemed very lost but excited.
[Darkvale]
Reconstruction efforts in Darkvale are underway and ahead of schedule. Refugees who had been relocated to Gryphon Hall are beginning to move back to Darkvale. The road between the Temple of Justari that served as the war camp and Darkvale City has been rebuilt. Shrines to Chronos and Antioch have been constructed, and ground has been broken on a temple to Vesta. There are reports that flying boats are being used for farming the northern fields near Sorbus City. In spite of concerns of tension between the adventurers and the Goblin King, there have been no confrontation between the civilized and monstrous people of Darkvale. No Aspis have been seen in or around Darkvale since Rexan's destruction.
[Eagle’s Rook]
A heavy silence still hangs near the borders. Those wearing the blue and white are politely yet firmly asking adventurers and the like to 'turn back' or 'go around'. Merchants trade only at the border outposts with the stationed militia. At every post, or with the border patrols, there is always either one guard reading, quietly reciting off the paper; or one of the guards is humming a tune, yet it does not sound light nor joyful. There are, however, the addition of statues in odd poses, and creeper vines and thorns rising up.
[Southern Realms]
Areas along the southern coast have reported increased cases of a rare disease, Virulae Dermal Dementia, that was thought to have been eradicated nearly a decade ago.
