Findings from the Hinterlands - New Edition
Esteemed Reader, While this journal is no stranger to surprising news from the outermost reaches of our fair land, I must warn that this season's edition contains news some might find, in a word, shocking. It might be that the 'cult of the Absolute' reported by our agents in Elturgard will fade like any other, but reports of alliances between goblin and Lolth-sworn drow, troll and duergar, are a particular cause for alarm. The seriousness of the enclosed report is quite unique in our history. Prior to publication, messengers were sent to localities including Baldur's Gate, Scornubel, and Candlekeep. Let us hope these reports are received with the proper gravity, for the safety of all. Sincerely, Mingus Etcherly Editor-in-Chief
