Well friend, apparently the Demons from Neriak were not content to forever taint lovely Kithicor with their hated hate, nope nope nope.
Now ugly ol'Lanys herself has taken up home inside of Befallen (the place with the skeltons, after the forest but before Freeport where the humans live you know). 
What is a halfling that only wants peace and tranquility to do in such proximity to so ugly nasty dirty a race as them?
For one thing, do not go near to the Befallen place, not that we can travel our own forest at night anymore, hamumph.

Remember these helpful hints, Halflings of the Vale: eat a hearty meal before leaving your house ( never know when you might need the strength) , never be afraid to call to a deputy for help (that's what they are there for after all ), don't go through the forest at night ( can't stress that enough in fact, once the sun goes down, you might just want to rest) , and of course never ever ever accept gifts from a dark elf , no matter how shiny or tasty.

You all remember Holly Windstalker? She runs around near Qeynos getting mad at folks that fight with the bears and the wolves and things there.
Well , if I were a poacher ( not that I am) I would be extra careful for a while because she is not getting any happier soon.
Poor Holly lost a dear dear friend long ago. 
His name was Cros, Cros Treewind.

He was a very good man that helped Holly in her goals of protecting the wildlife.
Anyway , he died a while ago.
Caught some bad cold from the water or something over in those parts , but now the city thinks they know who did it.
Poisoned the water that is.

The folks there seem to be doing what they can to find the peoples responsible, but no luck yet.
With this tragedy being in the news again, residents say Holly has been in a terrible mood lately.
Anyway I think we should all pause a moment before supping tonight and remember Cros.
