War in the Woods
-
_Rumors have been buzzing for months about fighting in the Rawlins. Now things have progressed from rumor to unmistakable.
Blasts rock the south Rawlins on a regular basis. From the roofs of Norwick, citizens can witness columns of fire and jagged stabs of lightning slashing down into the woods. The howls of great dire beasts and the keening shreaks of things from the lower planes drift in on the wind.
Who the two sides are is unclear; people talk of a war between light and dark druids, a bugbear civil war, a war between goblins and halflings, a war between living and undead….
Most simply hope the carnage will stay in the woods and not come to town.
And one word, meaning unclear, that drifts into conversations and is repeated uneasily by women and men in slumber...
Irmunsul..._
