That's a lot of dead kobolds and a lot of nice spoils. But kobolds are weak. And slimy. Now, if we just get these annoying crododiles under control, we can start looking at those more challening monsters. This swamp is full of them!

Hmmm... changing the direction we wave out wand, didn't seem to make much of a difference. Perhaps up and down is the ticket.

After reading the message from Greywolf in most recent Times, the Lords of Sky are publishing the observations of the freezing, as we had established our little kingdom right on southpole, so we have some knowledge that are not purely fishermen tales.
The freezing is creeping up every month, with couple pauses until now. It has reached and currently includes latitude and respectively it is expected that as this article is published the 66th latitude will freeze. Freeze finalizes at the end of the month so you can still manage to move through it during month, but afterwards couple of bad things happen: First, all locals die in frost and all wages and tax income becomes zero. Second, now it takes at least full month to cross any region, even boats and pegasus (4 movement points). Production possibilities, trade and caravanserais are not affected. 
Interesting that your faction units are very resistant to freezing compared to locals that die out immediately and those empty settlements still purchase hundreds of foodstuff. I have conflicting reports who buys those, but for now I would assume that those are ghosts.

The goblin paused, quill in hand.
He could not for the life of him remember if he had submitted any copy before the solstice,  He certainly hoped not, for the rubbish he was writing now would supersede it, and it would be a great pity if any erudite work of literature was lost because of it.

We apologise for not sharing news with you last month, but the following dispatches were delayed by polar frost:
"From the captain of the North Wind to the council of the Four Winds. We can confirm massive, unnatural icebergs sighted at the third and fourth parallels. Our scouts on land are starving as the plains further south have been pillaged by the locals, keen to take what they can before the freezing spreads south. We took on a small cargo of chocolate at a nearby city but fear we may not make it back to sell this. Advise against sending further polar expeditions."

From the diary of Gale Swifthands

With 6 dragons by our side the girls are getting restless. They want to fly and see what their new pets can do. Burning undead from above are just no longer satisfies them. They want to test the dagons aganst live targets. I don't know. I have a bad feeling about bringing dragons to the north.
Sticky Hands (48)
A bearded, strange killer in red, with a heavy bag, crept into the castle past the guards. Having committed a serious crime: he hit the victim on the head with a bag. And after making sure that she had lost consciousness, he placed a bottle of wine on her body. After which he repeated this with every resident of the fortification under the strange name of Hogwarts - to the ominous laughter (Ho Ho Ho) he left the city.
Citizens - constant vigilance!

Describes Southern Islands celebrates continued freezing around Wretched Castaway's Island.  The ice is not yet solid enough to walk on, but there is enough loose ice pack to slow swimming.  Signing bonuses have plummeted, someone could bring a chest of silver into the ice and recruit a vast army for more or less the cost of feeding them.  Describes Southern Islands wonders if there are gates in the ice, and whether workers can be had as cheaply at those gates as they can at Wretched Castaway's island.  The fish are so far neither more abundant nor less abundant; fishing is so far unchanged.  Perhaps the colder water can hold less phlogiston, but the loose ice pack is not only slowing swimming, but also slowing the exchange of phlogiston with the atmosphere?  Or perhaps phlogiston doesn't matter at all, and the fish population is controlled by the plant population, which is unchanged?  Describes Southern Islands will keep observing and sending back reports.

Cristata celebrates waiting.  Cristata is so tired of starting articles with "Cristata celebrates".  She thought she wished for new gods who would replace Ed and allow her to write her articles differently, but she is still waiting.  Cristata worries that the ice will arrive before her new gods do.  Cristata is in a nice city, but not sure that a frozen city will still be nice.  Perhaps it is time to join the migration north.  But she must first wait for a report from Describes Southern Islands and Observes Ice on Wretched Castaway's Island, to learn what effects the freeze will have.  Waiting.  Waiting.  Cristata celebrates waiting.

Rumors

I have posted rumors twice before
Yet when the Times were published
Only the last line appeared
The only thing worse than Aval is Corvin, who writes rumours.
We discovered that submarines can be built with ironwood.
Such ships give a high stealth skill at sea... great for pirates!
Some have not returned.
