There has been a woman with orange eyes walking in the midst of the storms this past month. What has drawn attention is that her attire is not appropriate to the cold, and so most are wary to approach her, since the weather has not proven to bother her in any way.

Some old guy wearing a strange light brown hat and clothes with lots of pockets has been puttering around and scribbling in a notebook, then fleeing or jumping behind nearby objects upon making eye contact.

His notes were largely incomprehensible, though there were frequent mentions of his nephew, exploring "outer space", and collecting "rollies."~~~

Local gossips mostly attribute their neighbors' good fortune to a burgeoning crime operation, bargains with supernatural beings, or responsible bookkeeping and frugality.

A message from the Temple of Deidre: There has been a stirring within the Pantheons. Old gods thought long dead have been evoked. The universe stirs. The War against the Slaugh and the Strangers has begun to take shape, and to bring attention to the Firmament.

Over the past two weeks a variety of spherical objects have been reported missing. Most have been of no significant value, and thus far the ongoing Militia investigation has found no other connections between the missing items or their perplexed owners.
