Grim Events in Innothule Swamp

Kelethin Courier:: }-------------------------} Vol. 9 No. 2 ~ Grim Events in Innothule Swamp ~

Recently, a battle was fought in Innothule Swamp between the Frogloks of Gukta and a group they allege to be composed of adventurers and Elves. Reports claim that this group was attempting to perform some kind of necromantic ritual of summoning.

Details regarding this event could not be verified, however, rumor has it that it was a group of Koada'Dal being assisted by a rag-tag assortment of adventurers and mercenaries. Official statements from the Guktans claim that these interlopers sought to do harm to their swamp, which is why they attacked.

Survivors' stories are inconsistent at best on the creature summoned from the ritual. Some claim it to be a troll, others claim it to be an amphibious creature of enormous size and unknown shape.

It was h-u-g-e!" says one of the survivors who claims to have seen the beast. "It had giant horns and giant lidless eyes. I didn't get real close to it, but it seemed to be surrounded by a greenish mist that made my skin crawl when I approached. I don't know what it was and, frankly, I don't want to find out."

Officials from Felwithe deny any involvement by the Koada'Dal and have said in an official statement that, "It is absurd to think that any Koada'Dal would practice necromantic magic. Clearly there has been some sort of mistake, and we believe the Guktan's owe us an apology for this horrendous accusation."

~ Trees Vandalized ~

Some of the trees in Greater Faydark were recently hacked savagely in an attempt to severely damage them. The vandals are thought to be Orcs from Clan Crushbone, though no solid evidence has yet been obtained.
