The rumour mill runs hot this month as talks of master thieves, tavern-wide massacres and gang wars plays on the lips of patrons in various establishments throughout the City-State - it seems that, despite the initial lull in crime, the underworld is coming back with a fury unseen.
Purportedly, a sum that totals at approximately three hundred and fifty thousand stags was inexpicably removed from a multitude of accounts in the bank of Waukeen and has seemingly disappeared. The tellers and clerics of Waukeen alike have been stricken with confusion as furious account holders demand an explanation. As it stands, no evidence of where the money has goen can be found.
Furthermore, the artifact that is said to come from the god Savras that was being held in the Temple of Helm for safekeeping has been stolen by unknown agents. The Eye of Truth, the artifact in question, was said to be stolen moments after it was locked away, and it's guardian found unconcious nearby. What happened to the artifact remains a mystery, but if it were to get into the wrong hands there would no doubt be dire consequences for the entire land, if not the world should the holder be powerful enough.
Finally, there's been talk of a mass homicide down at the Menacing Mariner in Port Avanthyr, with the only known survivor to be the Inn's proprietor, Tyrsis. The official statement from the Avanthyr City Watch was that a band of heavily armed and armoured males assailed the inn and massacred all within in what has been dubbed the 'most grisly scene since the Blacksteel Gauntlet case.'
The attackers also made a second strike which wiped out all but two City Watchmen who were investigating the scene, a honeymooning couple and their fire genasi butler.
No leeway has been made in the case of evidence, though it's said that the emblem of a stylised iron throne was found on two individuals who accompanied a priest during the attack.
