Attacking gatherings of people as if they've lost their capacity to fear humans and orcs. It's gotten out of control, and something needs to be done. There's also the rumours coming out of Lorenzo's Deep Pockets that something is amiss, but again nobody can say for sure ''what'' is amiss.		Something is afoot in [[Temeschwar]]. Or maybe two things.

	As Winter turns to Spring, the Empire is plagued by bad weather; terrible storms wrack the [[Bay of Catazar\|southern coast]].

Curses hang heavy on the territories that reach the coast - an attempt to drown the arrogant [[Grendel]] - but [[Spring magic]] will not be governed and the pirates of the Broken Shore are not the only ones to suffer. If that were all, it might be bad enough, but the malevolent magic does not stop at the shore. The territories of [[Urizen]] are ~~pummeled~~ with thick drifts of snow and hail.
