Day 2 Morning Report – Secret Code: “Thorns Bloom at Dusk”

Whispers from the night bring fresh shadows to light.

The Crimson Talons have been observed recruiting fresh mercenaries from nearby villages, offering gold and strange amulets bearing the Red Hand’s mark. Their camp lies hidden in the dense Valecress Woods, an uneasy border zone between the Duchy and the Northern Clans.

Within the depths of the Temple of Flame, faint but persistent magical vibrations suggest the summoning rites are accelerating. A newly discovered hidden chamber beneath the crypts may hold forbidden artifacts fueling the ritual.

Rumors speak of a discontented noble house, the Valmaris, rumored to harbor sympathies for the Red Hand cause and to have secret meetings in Amkresh’s House of Glass.

Unusual activity has been detected near the Civic Clock Tower; arcane signals reminiscent of minor chronomancy weave through the city’s magical currents.
