Citizens Flee Northreach

NORTHREACH - Northreach is reporting that droves of citizens are opting to flee the Seamel Township rather than live under the threat of future "Dark Wildling" attacks.

Among those fleeing are families and individuals who fall under the "Marked Mage" restrictions, with many deciding that facing the Imperial Law and spending a few nights or weeks in prison is a lot safer than the potential danger of facing a Dark Wildling, or having their children snatched in the night.

The House Seamel Guard have so far been unable to keep the people contained, opting to just let them pass rather than to create a potential incident. Indeed, quite a few of those leaving may be House Seamel Guard themselves.

The failure both to protect the people of Northreach, and to contain them under the mandates of Imperial Law, may yet draw more fire from other Noble Houses and the Imperial Government in the wake of so many perceived issues.

However, given the foul circumstances that have befallen the Township as of late (some engineered by the Imperial Government itself, it rumors are to be believed), there are many who might consider this "special dispensation".

This is not to say that Northreach is lacking in population, for there are those who have lived there from the start, and those who have known nothing better than what Northreach now offers them, even with the shadow of Dark Wildlings looming as great as the Aegis above them.
