Attention, good citizens of the Realm,

The City of Ardenfall itself was attacked by a small but potent raiding party of Hill Giants, led by a newly-seen creature called a Verbeeg. How these beings circumvented Watchtower remains a mystery at this time. A group of adventurers joined with an Army patrol to destroy the beasts, but at the cost of many deaths.

The Army will send additional patrols into the Midcrest range to attempt to keep the Giants from surprising Ardenfall again. However, this will deplete the number of men available for other duties.
