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

⌞Southern Reach Swamps⌝

- A hunt has been called on an elder Horned Monarch after two packs of Walljacks were slain during a minor celebration. Some of the most senior Walljacks will be scouring the swamps in coming weeks to root out as many of these abominations as possible.

⌞Ashlands⌝

- The Flame-Sworn attendants of Dragon's Maw have reportedly notice the flames within the Fire Dragon Skull's eyes to have flickered. While the flames persist, this seems to have started worried murmuring amongst much of the Fireborne...

⌞Northern Kingdoms⌝

- In news that has left many in both confusion and delight, Valkian forces have seemingly withdrawn from the front lines on the southern border. Some of the Petty-Kings have stated relief and hopes for trade to increase, while others worry it's a ploy to rouse more forces.

⌞Pearl Coast, Mistan Isles⌝

- Bards have already began to compose songs to honor both the Siren Serene and prepare the New Dawn festival. There has been more focus on the preparations for this festival than usual, as some believe troubling word of occurrences in the southeast are caused by the Siren Serene's ire.

⌞Amafell Mountains⌝

- An outcast wizard has holed up in a mountain hold, and is gathering other outcasts to his cause. Several tribes are uniting to oppose him, but with powerful magic on his side, this strange wizard is proving harder to handle than expected.
