This Past Year...
Over the past several months, a growing number of reliable reports have surfaced detailing unusual behavior among the undead.
Discover More...
Rafts filled with lesser undead have been spotted drifting down rivers under the cover of thick, foggy nights. In some areas, these undead have been used in targeted attacks, with people and locations seemingly chosen with deliberate intent.
Large holes and trenches have also been mysteriously dug overnight by undead, though their purpose remains unclear. Strangely, no necromancers or greater undead have been discovered directing these actions, despite numerous traps and ambushes set by both official forces and adventuring parties.
Mysterious fragments of the Dreadwood have begun appearing across Valoria, with similar reports emerging from the Jodok Mountains and throughout the Ohdreach.
Discover More...
These “dread pockets” often go unnoticed until they grow large enough to spawn hordes of greenskins. Some have been discovered by curious farmers investigating sudden patches of blighted land, while others have been stumbled upon by adventurers through sheer luck. All possible avenues of investigation are being pursued, and anyone who discovers one is urged to report its location and activity level to a noble or official as soon as possible.
Resurrected victims from across Valoria have reported eerily similar final moments.
Discover More...
They describe being ambushed by unidentified assailants, all clad in black, who strike swiftly and without hesitation. The attackers never speak, demand anything, or show mercy. Some victims recall being held captive for varying lengths of time—minutes, hours, or even days—before meeting their end. Others were forced to march long distances before being killed, though the purpose behind these actions remains a mystery.
Various groups possess conflicting maps that both align and diverge in numerous ways, fueling debate and uncertainty. It’s time to settle the matter once and for all and uncover the true nature of the land!
