These are rumors your characters may have heard around the Spire about the going-ons of the lands outside of the Southern Reach. Almost none of these now, or in the future, will be tied to upcoming events. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to @Moony

⌞Valkian Empire⌝

- There has been gossip spreading like wildfire among many noble circles in the realms. Supposedly there has been an affair made public between that of a Sudvalkian baron and a very wealthy Sanguifleur socialite. Some even say a bastard may be born of this tryst!

⌞Fallstone⌝

- Fallstone's Canavassari has had to mobilize the Fey Guard to deal with a rather nasty infestation of Mournshades plaguing Hope’s Watch in recent weeks. From the sounds of it the beasts were dispatched quickly without any losses to the Fey Guard.
