Raiders Attack Caravan

Several wagons belonging to Phiarlan traders were attacked on their way through the Menechtarun Desert. The contents of the caravan were not disclosed by officials from House Phiarlan but they revealed the destination as a small settlement on the northern edge of the desert. The Chronicle spoke to House Phiarlan representative Maris d'Phiarlan who said, 'More important than the lost goods were the brave souls that fell to the raiders. Our prayers go to the grieving families.' House Phiarlan vowed to increase security and hire mercenaries to accompany future expeditions.

Ten Arrested in Phoenix Brawl

Ten individuals were arrested last week after a night out on the town turned ugly. The Phoenix Tavern, a long-time fixture of Stormreach nightlife, reported over seven thousand gold in damage and lost income after a friendly competition turned into an all-out tavern brawl. Patrons of the Phoenix and other taverns are advised to obey local laws regarding armed duels or face serious penalties.

Coin Lords Relax Trade Tariffs

Crediting decreased incidents of theft, piracy and smuggling, the Coin Lords of Stormreach are relaxing tariffs on foreign goods, including those from the island and desert regions of the continent. The new influx of goods is sure to liven up trade in the city, especially in taverns such as the Wavecrest Inn. Owner Sigmund Bauerson was 'overjoyed' at the news, saying, 'The Wavecrest has always prided itself on good food and drink, but the import tax made it difficult to obtain decent provisions. I mean, vegetable hash? What was that all about?'

Spire's Appearance Puzzles Many

An earthquake shook the area known as Delera's Graveyard yesterday, toppling tombstones and upsetting several funeral processesions. The cause appeared to be a stone tower of dubious origin that burst from the ground in the midst of the tremors. The disturbance and the appearance of the mysterious tower caused many to voice long-held concerns about the cemetary. One resident of House Jorasco who wished to remain anonymous said, 'I know we should honor our ancestors, but I'm tired of them coming back to life! And never to help, no... they're either a mindless corpse hungry for flesh or some spectral terror.' Lord Derek Grospic was unavailable for comment.
