In Valthas Wood in Albadia is a tribe of centaurs that worship Belsameth the Slayer. Though these centaurs have until now not proven to be a problem¸ there's a rumour that they have started hunting down others who travel the woods to sacrifice to the dark goddess. If true¸ it could be that those who regularly use the woods may seek to eradicate the centaurs once and for all. Karria is an excellent wine country¸ with a large number of grapes¸ fruits and berries growing. The wines produced by Karria are a notable export¸ but recently there have been rumours of blight affecting some regions. This blight is said to be affecting different types of the things grown to make wine¸ which is unusual. Some suspect the blight may be magical in origin. King Mharnev is the ruler of the city of Horat in Albadia and¸ so far¸ the king has been loyal to High King Thalos and his ability to build the nation¸ even though his tribe's Helliann have told Mharnev that Thalos may have betrayed the soul of Albadia. There's a rumour that Mharnev may soon be tipped over to the side of the Helliann and against the High King. Lake Vashon in Calastia is a popular place for nobles of Vashon and Aovnir in Lageni to take their leisure on large barges where floating parties and festivals are held. There are rumours that the lake has grown a little less pleasant recently¸ as it's said that a number of people have disappeared beneath the surface. Some nobles are concerned that monsters may have moved into the lake and are looking for people to drive any such out. Lord Gasslander of Wexland in Darakeene has turned worship in his province to a god known simply as That Which Abides. Though Darakeene has no official religion¸ for one province to dedicate all its temples to a single god¸ and one who is unknown at that¸ is odd and disruptive. There are rumours that Gasslander has been sending out missionaries promoting the faith of That Which Abides to other provinces¸ and even other countries¸ and some are wondering just who the nameless god might be and what there aims are.
