Northern Geographic Region:
Phantom Fortress
Orc Tribes in the Moutains around the Bay of Vhaliano report seeing a strange floating construction in the mists.  Perhaps they ate some strange mushrooms in the foothills or something.

Developement halted
Workers halted bridge work when what was supposedly a fist sized chuck of gold was found in the Craggy River.  There was a labor shortage or workers after that, but shallow pans were a hot item in the local village.

Western Shore sees Villages rise
Those travellers that survive the journey report several larger villages along the western shore both in the Faera Bank and along the Melea Coast.  They are large enough to dock and gather supplies.

River Goblins
At the headwaters of the Faera Waterway a large and growing tribe of Goblinoids is taking charge.  They have raised an army of both riders and infantry and even look to expand into Orc lands as well.

Central Geographic Region:
Dwarven Clatter
Once again the Dwarven Halls ring with the sound of steel shod boots in preperations for war.  Armies are being conscipted and trained.

Wee Folk Merchants
After a few years of struggle some leadership rises to the fore and brings together the various merchant houses of Parit.  They expand and grow out into a fledgling nation.  The finer things in life are most welcome from anyplace that they can be found.

Enslavment continues
The area near the Graye River is a dangerous place to be.  The Goblinoids in the area are taking enslaving entire populations regardless of who they are and using them to expand their lands.

Beautiful Mistress
The rave among the human court is the forbidden love story of the Emperor Spaln duc Koln and his young princess.  Apparently she even gave birth to twin boys which shall possibly rise up one day to take control of the central human land holdings.

Slayer taken ill
Rumors abound of an assassination attempt on the mighty Orc leader dubbed "The Slayer" for his ruthlessness and tactics in taking over the Dwarven holds of Orgonmith.

Eastern Geographic Region:
Flower Power
Tales spread quickly of an old man who seems to have appeared in several human nations with the ability to vanish as if he had never been there.  He councils wisely and does magic tricks for children where he makes mostly flowers appear out of thin air.  After his departure those that have seen him speculate that perhaps his abilities are beyond sleight of hand.

Infighting
To no ones surprise a nasty revolt takes place against one of the larger tribal leaders in Pena.  The goblins there fight each other tooth and claw until a strong, new warchief rises up.

Migration difficult
The elven kingdoms of the East are spreading their borders throughout the forests nearby.  A challenge lies in the fact that Orcs have penetrated most of those same lands and have driven native peoples into the forest as well.  How to move these folk and where will be a puzzling riddle to solve.

Bad Storms
Trade ships hug the waters close to shoar on the Ninus Drift as bad storms blow several merchant ships onto the rocks near the Mohanhi Chain.

Western Geographic Region:
UnderWorld Exploitation
Some rare ores which primarily come from the depths are being traded throughout the western lands by all of the races who thrive below ground.

Halfling Charm
The Nu'jree tolerate the Halfling diplomats who arrive claiming great profits, abundant food and generally lots of "neat stuff" for everyone.  They stay so long in fact that the Nu'jree get tired of the talking themselves and agree to sign something just to have them leave and go elsewhere.  The wee folk seem to have endless curiosity at times and the diplomats find that they seem to have acquired writing instruments and other interesting trinkets from their hosts.

Bloodskulz Rise up
The self proclaimed Godking goes on a brutal campaign to eliminate some neighboring pests.  He adds to the Orcish legend in general as the cruelty given out to the Halflings turns to a cannibalistic feast of sorts before returning the rest of the slaves home.

Gate
Some Magi of the Nu'jree folk in the Trujillo forests have supposedly opened a Mystical Gate allowing them to travel great distances to far off Nu'jree lands.

Oasis or Tall Tale
A sun bleached man rides into El Simbal on an emaciated camel, its hard to tell but amazingly he seems to have come from the East..  Both are barely alive and the man dies after telling of a grand tale of crossing the Desert of Despair.  It is a favorite amongst the tale spinners for a few months and is seldom heard after that.  One of the more ingenious storytellers brought in a scrawny camel after telling his version of the story claiming the animal knew the way back East.

Racial Unification
Rumors abound about a coalition of Elves, Dwarves and Humans which have united under one banner to deter an invasion by Goblin and or Orc forces.

Southern Geographic Region:
Grand Fesitval of Games
The people of Huszgud and their King throw a mighty festival.  Its a tournament of indulgence and brutality at first as 1000 slaves are used up in the gladiator combats that take place.  In the end it appears that the master of ceremonies Punjaturis did indeed have a plan and it worked beautifully.  Vikquiria, a powerful man rises up to a potentail position of power in the Slaver lands.

Smoke Ring Contest
The Tobacco family sponsors the annual Smoke Ring blowing contest for anyone with a pipe and the ability to blow large smoke rings.  Those with a magical streak are especially welcome as sometimes they can make smoke come out in other colors and hues.  Crim Spudtree won last season when his winning smoke ring supposedly 2 wee folk feet across.

Dragon / Human Realm
Nearby nations and travellers note that the man folk of Yazli Gru seem to name and worship everything related to Serpants and Dragons.  A wild rumor even exists that some of the Leaders in the government are actually shape shifted Dragons wielding power together to claim the northern Serpant River for themselves.  One thing is certain.  The citadel of Draco now protects the largest city in the South and possibly all of Huahn.

Pirates?
Citizens of Green Field called an alarm after seeing a fleet of sleek, swift moving vessels come down the coast.  They were just as quickly gone as they had come and some wondered if the ringers of the alarm bell had ever heard of the story of something about wolves and calling too often for help.
