Bramblestone Irregulars to be Disbanded

HEDGEHEM - Notifications are being posted throughout Zahir territory highlighting the forced disbanding of the once-mercenary ranks known as the Bramblestone Irregulars, originally commanded by Countess Tomassa Zahir. All Irregulars who do not seek to transfer into the private establishment of the Darkwater Deepers are being reassigned to the Ravensguard. The posted document outlines the following reasons as iterated by the Duchess Voreyn Zahir:

"As corruption in the wake of the inaction and lethargy of the Irregulars has unfortunately succeeded to take a grip over Hedgehem, and as House Zahir is currently in the process of eradicating crime from all of its territories, it has become crucial to our success that we disable an inactive front and instate instead the Ravensguard to look after Hedgehem."

Ever since the Countess Tomassa's seclusion away from Fastheld, rumors of growing gambling rings as well as developing rival gangs, vandalism, and prostitution in Hedgehem have been spreading rapidly. In her notice to her citizens, the Duchess has outlined the plan for the Ravensguard in getting control over Hedgehem once more.

The Duchess's public missive ends with: "Let it not be said that House Zahir divides from within: rather, we combine our forces into one to conquer the products of crime and build successful, peaceful townships."
