[Neden]
Recently the group of the Neden boys (Sir D, Sir Nymbous, Dresden, sir Naj, and Cabby) led by Lord Syruss vanquished some Dragon Cultists and the Acid Dragon boss. These villains had blocked all trade routes around Neden forcing merchants on one trail leading to Neden Castle proper. At first Lord Syruss thought this was a marketing ploy by Jayce but as it turns out it was a clever idea to funnel money to the Neden economy so they could rob it all after accumulating a certain amount in the vaults. The villains crossed the line when they also robbed the local cideries of all the hard cider. This would not stand and Syruss and his men made short work of these cunning culprits.
