[QUOTE="Dawn Herald, post: 3972284, member: 58763"] [I]A parchment toughen by the weather is tacked onto the corkboard, written in common with a scholarly penmanship and smelling of swamp water.[/I] This is just a page from my travelogue of the domain of Greyhawk that is made up of the unnamed villages and estates along the Selintan River that you won't find on any map, the haunted Cairn Hills, the goblin infested Gnarley Forest, and the rugged hills of the Abbor-Alz. I pen this entry and leave it behind, in the aptly named tavern known as the Cross Roads. For it is here, that I believe heroes may find my work and may be inspired to investigate the problems plaguing the region. It is also here, that I believe that the villains responsible for these dark events have originated and are using as a means to enter our world from the pale beyond. Copies of this parchment have already found themselves circulating among other communities along the Selintan, in order to inspire the heroes of those communities to conduct their own investigations. I shall make it my own humble duty, as a patriot of humanity and all that is good to continue my own investigations and make the public aware of the events happening around us. So do expect more parchments to arrive. To protect my identity, I shall simply go by the title of the Dawn Herald and this is the news I bring to you.
