As many of you may know, it has become apparent that the orcs have
drastically increased in number and have been raiding Kinsarmar several
times monthly. Much more frightening, I have personally seen a rift in
the Vardarian Highlands which is obviously connected to the Horde,
though whether it is a demon rift, I couldn't say. In addition to this,
I have heard reports of orc warmages and the like in the small Norjin
village of Tirhin. This is where we step in. It has been the traditional
role of the Wytchen to aide and protect the smaller villages of
Aetherius, and I fear that the time has come for us to do so again.

I would urge you all to take a few moments every few days to check some
of the smaller cities and villages for signs of the horde. Be EXTREMELY
careful. Black-eyed orcs, especially are incredibly dangerous, and
hunting them shouldn't be attempted on your own.

Whether or not we take upon ourselves the burden of protecting these
helpless folk, it remains obvious to me that it is at least common sense
to be wary and vigilant. If you see any orcs in the Vardarians, or
anywhere in Kinsarmar, notify a city aide or official immediately. It is
of the utmost importance.
