The nights were longer, the days darker
than any in these parts could remember.

Now the Swamp crept inward too,
closing like a hangman's noose
on the town of Berium.

'Ere eve of winter's darkest night,
when ancient superstition
seized hold with an icy grip,
there came a delegation
that could spell ruin
or bring salvation.

A Dark Hour in Berium     Word from Berium suggests that the Swamp is encroaching on its forest. Berium has always been mysteriously protected, an island in the Swamp. Could this be Berium's last gasp?     Our source, a soldier of the late Baron Edreak von Hoven by the name of Snider, is in no doubt.     "The Swamp is spreading towards the Keep and the inn," Snider says. Locals went into the forest and confirmed that the Swamp is closing in on Berium		Baron Underwood claims that the Staff of Erana protected his town of Berium from the Swamp. Underwood is demanding that the Staff be returned to its original resting place.     The Staff was taken from Berium by the Order of Erana at the Feast of Erana with the town's blessings.     In an exclusive with the Mordavian Truth, Lady Alia, high priestess of the Order of Erana, has declared that she will be sending a representative to discuss the matter of the Staff of Erana with any who wish to present themselves in Berium at Koliada, the longest night of the year, which falls on June 18th. The Order is currently busy with the procession of the ancient artifact around Mordavia. The procession is approaching the forested Barony of Sylvania.
