    Murdered Elves
    It seems there have been two multiple murders where groups of Elves travelling on the thoroughfares of Sundren have been brutally massacred. Rumor has is that the bodies of these travellers were found with rectangular areas of skin removed from their backs. Some whisper that it is the work of Necromancers, others say it was probably Dwarves with a little too much (or perhaps too little) ale in their bellies.

    Heretics attempt to posion the city
    There has been talk that a group of ragged street preachers were caught in possession of a number of containers bearing a concentrated form of the plague after having been observed meeting clandestinely with an unknown woman in the sewers under Sundren. It seems that poisonous rhetoric wasn't enough for these people, and they sought to inflict disease on people; as if their tedious and heretical tirades were not bad enough. The city militia have invoked the special powers granted to them under the LOYALIST act, and are rounding up all people suspected of subversive or heretical activity and intend to detain such troublemakers indefinitely. Some people seem to think there'll be executions soon enough.

    The Churches call for their followers to rally
    The temples of Helm and the Triumvirate have put out a call for all those loyal to The Protector and The Triad to unite with them in order to resist the perils befalling Sundren.
    ((If your PC follows Helm, or one of The Triad [Tyr, Torm, & Ilmater] and hasn't yet had contact with their temple then don't be shy to prod a DM when you're online and we'll help if we can))

    A record seizure
    It seems a large quantity of liquor which the Kurz cartel was attempting to smuggle into Sundren was prevented from circumventing the proper channels when a daring group of adventurers entrered the smugglers' tunnel system and captured the shipment. The common people rejoice at paying more for their booze, and all those who would seek to avoid paying the proper taxes on good they import are running scared. Special Customs Agent Bureaucratus Tedium of the Sundarian Customs and Excise House is said to have been so impressed by this piece of work that he is having a plaque to commemorate the raid. It is also said that he may be looking for other 'adventuring' types to do a little freelance work on behalf of the customs house.

    Missing Children
    A number of children have gone missing from Sestra recently. Most likely they've run away from home; a damning indictment against the quality of parenting in Sundren.

    The Sestrian guard slowed his pace slightly as he went down the stone steps.

    "Down here men! I think i see one of the missing children!" he called back. At the bottom of the steps he squinted into a tunnel entrance where he saw the figure disapear.

    "Its alright child, I'm with the guard and here to help." Said the guard as he stepped through. There was a moment of pause, then a loud roar could be heared eminating from the tunnel.

    "What in the hells?" said the guard as he exited the tunnel on the other side. Standing not 20 feet from hiim was an odd looking creature brandishing an axe much to large for it.

    "Mittens tell yous before! NOT CHILD! Why yous at war tree?"
    Butch: "You know, when I was a kid, I always thought I was gonna grow up to be a hero."
    Sundance: "Well it's to late now."
