The Mining Journal Circular 7 Issue 2 =+=+=+=+=+=+= - Norrath Cursed -

Not long after the cleansin' of the Threefold Plague of Bertoxxulous in the Karanas, Norrath was stricken ag'in with a series of curses. Were they a retaliation from Bertoxxulous or were they simply the fixins of a few tainted individuals? Whichever the case, we must defeat the evil that lurks upon the land.

One of our local rogue pub owners sent us a report of his recent travels to Qeynos.

My recent trip to Qeynos was worse than usual. There was a strange red mist everywhere and undead creatures graspin' at anyone that came near 'em.

After I got off the Siren's Bane in Freeport, I overheard people 'plainin' 'bout a nasty cult tryin' to waken a beastie named Tishe Virm for a feast in its honor. What they plan on feedin' the big serpent, I ain't too sure 'bout that an' I dinnae want to stick around find out. I decided to continue with my journey to Qeynos.

I was passin' through the Commonlands when I heard moanin' howls comin' from all around me. Folks were screamin' sightin's of werewolves an' runnin' everywhere. Me, I just wanted to git outta there before I ended up werewolf bait.

I managed to escape the danger in the Commonlands an' headed over to Rivervale to rest up a bit. When I started back on my trip, I went through to the Karanas. Lo and behold the Karanas had been hit by a curse too.

There was some evil guy laughin' insanely while undead creatures rushed to spread his curse to those that interfered. Not me though, I had ale to pick up so I ran through the Karanas as quickly as my roguish legs would allow.

When I got to the hills of Qeynos, I found undead preparin' to take over the city. Citizens were battlin' the undead creatures as fast as they could.

Once I got safe into the city, all I could do was faint."
