Tensions Rise Over Incidents with Dark Elves

Antonican Times:: }-------------------------} Vol. 9 No. 4 ~ Tensions Rise Over Incidents with Dark Elves ~

Raids on Freeport continue from Dark Elven forces stationed in Nektulos and in the Commonlands. While many expected the Dark Elves to retreat after a while, experts are now beginning to wonder if these invaders plan some larger assault. Militia Captain Hazran explained that an extended assault of this type is not a wise way to make war unless you have another plan in mind.

It just doesn't make sense. They know we can send enough men to destroy their camps even without assistance from the Temple. So setting their men up there looks like a suicide mission planned by idiots. Say what you want about the inkies, they aren't stupid."

Fear of war appears to be spreading. While the Freeport Militia is increasing patrols and cautiously monitoring the situation, the Guktans appear to be making preparations should the conflict spread further south. Lokta Elder Sigig cautions that we should not take their response as anything more than caution.

We've heard some rumors, nothing more. We have chosen to be cautious and make preparations. We urge our allies to be cautious as well. If nothing comes of these preparations then at least we've had some practice. Froaak. "

Other city leaders, including our very own Antonius Bayle, refused to make comments about rumors that they could neither confirm nor 'deny.
