The Warden's of the Stone Tower seem to have finished constructing addition defences for the confederacy Lands. They seem to be scaled down versions of CSF Humanity. These border defences will make it much harder to take effective agressive action against the confederacy.
The vile cultists led by the insane Phytarin have turned their bloodlust on their Fallen brethren. Pineapple and her brainwashed forces have attacked a most ancient and benevolent organisation within the Fallen, the Unsullied. Without their guidance and leadership, the Fallen are sure to crumble beneath the heat of the insane Pope's madness.
Things are looking dire for the Unsullied. Pineapple has been joined by a number of traitorous Beastmen and Machinists and is readying her forces for an attack on the glorious Orrerry.
Over the past season, many clans have been brought low by a strange sickness that seems to pay no attention to boundaries between colonies. It seems to manifest as apathy and lack of motivation, leading to much productivity lost in each colony. Consulted healers claim never to have seen anything like it.
The Fallen machinist known as Sarin the Seeker has vanished without trace. Sarin was last seen conducting an investigation into Mist anomolies for the Union's Varuja clan. Hal Brokentooth of the beastmen, and Madame Imogene of the Circus were with him at the time, and claim he simply ran into the mists and disappeared.
Since the event, several members of the Fallen and the Confederacy have claimed to see them man briefly, though there is nothing to confirm these claims.
It appears the head of the Union's Church of the Founders has changed, reports in the other colonies are somewhat confused, but it appears that Tutor Hawthorne has taken the position of High Priest of the Union's Church.
The Knights of the Storm have been traveling the Broken World apparently looking for something, they have been seen in all the colonies, and their respective outlands, apparently looking for a relic from their past.
Glorious Pope Pineapple and her forces have lain siege to the cancer plaguing the Fallen: the Unsullied and their heretical worship of the Sky Ox, which they refer to as the Orrerry. Their removal heralds the birth of a new age for the Fallen, an age of prosperity, free from their dread machinations, basking in the blessings of the Great Orange.
Aided by Marell and Sarr, Pineapple has been gradually cutting away at the Unsullied's defences and is poised for an attack on their most heathen machine.
Long distance reports in from the Fallen outlands: What appears to be an inhabited fragment has appeared on the horizon. While small, every surface appears carved or constructed, giving it an appearance akin to the City. Small craft capable of flight have been seen visiting the debris surrounding its approach.
That debris later tumbled into the mists.
Whatever power these people have, it would be wise to investigate it before they reach the colony. The fallen are assembling a diplomatic team, and are inviting temple representatives to join.
