Distortion Descends on Northreach

NORTHREACH - Only mere days after Dark Wildlings snatched numerous Noble children from Northreach, rumors have begun to spread that the Shadow has begun to seep into the foundations of the Seamel Township, resulting in a number of reports of phantasms and fell creatures and deeds plaguing the streets and citizens of the troubled territory.

Attempted Suicides, Noblese Catfights, Gallant Freelanders, and Illusions of the Crown Regent, are all making the rounds, coupled with ties to Duchesses and Dukes to round off the dramatic and somewhat illustrious tales.

Reports of 'lawlessness' and 'chaos' have been quickly dismissed by both the Seamel Guard and the Imperial Watch stationed in the area, with no unusual criminal activity being reported by either that has not been expected due to the tensions caused by recent situations.

Equally, while the supposed "phantasms" are of concern to Light-fearing citizens across the Empire, the Imperial Cult is paying them little heed, citing that such "magnanimous" uses of Shadow by Marked Mages are within the scope outlined by the Shadow Amnesty, and in this case may have even been used to alleviate a tense situation that could have ended much worse.
