The tireless Guild of Exploration continues to astonish us with what it discovers inside the ancient Western forest. Apparently, our Kingdom’s dragonspawn problem has been caused by the awakening of the world’s last true dragon, a mighty beast living inside a long-forgotten archipelago beyond druid territory. Scribes say that these creatures were hunted to the point of extinction centuries ago, so any hopes of this one being open to a friendly chat are actually quite slim.
Scouts also report that goblin industrialists have recovered from the recent Sludge Mine catastrophe to begin work on harvesting magma instead — their efforts have uncovered several mysterious metalwork altars deep underground, though the purpose of these structures remains unknown.
Finally, negotiations with the newly-discovered Jötunncarve berserkers in the east have reached an uneasy stalemate — when asked about the prospect of trade, their leader allegedly tore off one of our emissary’s arms and ate it. We’re not sure what impact this will have on diplomacy, but prospects aren’t good.
