“A rogue goblin has been sighted several times in the abandoned village of Eistla, presumably drawn by the stores left behind when the villagers departed for Reverie. Though said villagers will not be returning, we shall surely seek to reclaim the village for mankind once this is all over. I suggest that we end the goblin’s misery now, before he tears the houses down in his search for sustenance.”

“Among the diverse beasts that make their home in Waloed, there are many that seem not to be a creation of nature, but of some malign god. Bygul is one such creature—a cat that takes an almost perverse delight in hunting down the few survivors of the human race that yet survive on the fat continent, and toying with them as a child might a doll—complete with the chewing of their extremities.”

“A band of Cursebreakers making a first foray into Waloed encountered this creature near the road through Halfcombe. Though those with memory of Ash before its fall knew Agni as a peaceable beast—one worshipped as the “Jarlkona of the north”—the aether has since addled its mind, sending it barreling hither and yon, crushing anything in its path. To end its torment would be a mercy.”

“Travelers of the Gilded Path share stories of the crystal giant—a beast who haunts the paths less trodden, illuminating the shadowy canyons with the unmistakable blue glow of aether, and painting them red with the blood of his victims. If our suspicions are correct and this creature is another construct of Ultima, then only by laying him low might we truly begin to live on our own terms.”

“After the collapse of the Fallen civilization, their technology slept silently within the ruins of their airships for many a long year. However, of late, these “echoes” of the Fallen age have begun to awaken, attacking any strangers on sight—presumably as they were designed to do. While some are easily escaped, this particular echo persists in pursuing its targets until they lie dead in the dust.”
