LICH LORDS ATTACK FALCONE ESTATE

Dateline: 15-11-517


The Falcone Estate and the town of Dun Edin in north-western Moonward is the latest place to come under assault by one of the undead monsters known as Cold Lich Kings. As previously reported by the Bugle several of the monsters or their skeletal minions have been sighted around the edge of the Great Forest but until now their depredations have been limited to eastern Moonward.


The estate was the scene of a bloody battle last year between Crown forces and the rebels of Uryen d’Agrillac, and the castle of Kerak Falcone held out until earlier this year before being reduced by assault.


Royal Army units are still garrisoned in the area, and it was the commander of one of these companies who first raised the alarm. “My men and I engaged the creature throughout much of the day, but it seems to be immune to our weapons,” said Sgt Major Phelps of the 17716th Royal Infantry. “I'm filling in requisition form 2257383a-1/b as I speak for the funds to buy magic weaponry, but I'm hearing rumours that magical weapons won't harm it either.”


At least one estate knight loyal to Baroness Sofia d’Agrillac has also been killed in the defence of the town. The enchanter Baroness herself has rushed to assist but cannot use her more powerful spells against the monster while it is within the town for fear of harming innocent bystanders, so the Royal Army troops are attempting to draw it off.


However there is better news from eastern Moonward where members of the Dei Vigilare have destroyed three of the monsters in as many days. Reports are confused, but there would seem to be at least one more of the monsters in the vicinity of the Keep, accompanied by numerous lesser undead monsters.


Crusader Maureen Palance, the Gladius Dei of the DV - the leader of their militant arm - is on her way to the Falcone estate from the nearby Torlian Catacombs to assist, and said “I am hopeful that my colleagues and I will be able to destroy it within a couple of days.”


It has been speculated that there is a connection between this attack on Bereny’s northern border and the threats made against the Kingdom by Lord Lexor, although no clear link has been demonstrated.
