LOTHIS: The great army led by Colonel Nye-Fedoran and the human spellslinger Iriana Truthspeaker is leaving today to reclaim Ebonring Keep. Although Ebonring Keep was once a key stonghold in the wars against the dramojh, it was lost to the rhodin warlord Gerex One-Horn in Common Year 1661, and it has remained in rhodin control ever since. The Gazette speaks for the entire population of the Great Plains when we say, "It's high time Ebonring Keep was back in giant control!"
Colonel Nye-Fedoran is a career soldier who has fought in many key battles against the chorrim threat in the west, as well as countless skirmishes against rhodin raiders. In gratitude for his help, the litorians of the western plains have given him some of their finest trackers to aid him in his current quest.
Iriana Truthspeaker is a sorcerer of no small skill. Colonel Nye-Fedoran most likely sought her out because of her knowledge of both the Ebonring itself and the Keep.
There will be a parade in the town square this afternoon as the heroes and their army leave for the Floating Forest. The Gazette would like to thank the Lothis Trade Council for sponsoring this event.
