Rumors around the Realms April 1026

Overheard at Clontarf Castle.

There’s been some curious talk that the Crown’s little Ward has a habit of… wandering. Vanishing from for a day or two, only to turn up again safe and sound. Folk are starting to say the fae might be borrowing the little one for their own amusements.

Various Locations Throughout the Realms

Travelers speak of faint digging heard at night in places where no living hands should be working, as though unseen labor has returned to forgotten ground. In villages near old burial sites, locals whisper that the dead are not rising in force, but being quietly rearranged and accounted for...less an army being rebuilt than a process of correction unfolding, as if past failures are being methodically amended one grave at a time.

Kenkilit, Voraniss

Preparations are underway at the Church of Aurora for the wedding of Priestess Lightbringer Margaret August and Champion Sir Tirvanel Fuller. Foreign guests have slowly begun to arrive in anticipation of the event, and Templars of Arius can be seen scouting out the venue and adding their own protections to that of the Aurorans. In Mirador, money exchanges hands over the potential of an invasion or kidnapping. But in spite of these somewhat morbid bets, the atmosphere is joyous and cheerful.

Chimeron

Rumors of sent letters going missing have spread, with some people wondering if they can still reliably send letters and expect them to arrive. Despite these rumors, Chimeronian officials have been unable to verify this, saying that mail audits have shown no abnormalities.
