BREAKING: MERCENARIES MAKE LANDFALL ON MERMAID’S ISLE - FRIENDS OR FOE?
Onlookers were stunned today as armed swords-for-hire made landfall on the northern shore of Mermaid’s Isle, commonly known by locals as Watcher Beach. Bringing a number of constructs with them including a large Astir, these sell-swords quickly set about making a camp and raising a small stake wall. Their ship, which seemed to this scholar to be damaged quite heavily, was brought high on the beach and stripped for wood.
It is unknown from what company these mercenaries hail, but those of Mermaid’s Isle are hopeful they will not cause trouble in the coming days of the Progress’s occupation.
