Day of the Huntress, 7 Ivastaen, 5121
Freeport of Solhaven, its residents and visitors:

Concerning reports have come to my order out of the far north. A great metal monstrosity of some design has surfaced and has threatened that northern reach- however, this threat is potentially uncontained and could very well make its way south to our borders. Reports indicate that not only be it some dozen yards in length and over two score hands in height, but it is capable of flight at great speeds.

While it has yet, if ever, to reach our borders, this is an opportune time to delineate our defensive measures to those who would defend the Freeport and its barony of Vornavis. In terms of the Freeport itself, the North Market shall remain the normal rallying point- should it be unsafe, operations will move to Fasthr's Lance, which will also serve as general triage as it has in the past. Within the Freeport, the Lance is our most fortified position beyond the walls of Vornavis itself.

Along the West Road, the Broken Tower can serve as rallying point and makeshift triage. While ancient, its dwarf-craft walls still provide cover and respite. Into the Cairnfang Forest however, the Order of the Azure Sun offers its keep of Sunholm, a fortified and well-defended fortess, shielded by the Stepfalls Gorge, to serve as rally and triage.

Proudly, the Order of the Azure Sun will continue to fiercely and inexorably defend and safeguard its home of the Freeport of Solhaven, the Barony of Vornavis, and the Empire- and within it, most importantly, its people, as the sword and shield of His Excellency Baron Dunrith Malwind.

Sir Bristenn Colfren Mires
Imperial Knight of Vornavis
Steward-Adjudicator of the Order of the Azure Sun
Bannerman of the White Shield

You evade the bolt by a hair!
