All is well in Henwe and Weseda...or not  Fall 723

 

With the united Earldom of Henwe operating much as it should and Weseda offering its help with trade the partnership was brought closer in Azura.  The Valkar Thaand in Weseda held a Fair and Feast to bring his people and that of the other nobles in the region closer.  For the most part successfully.  Squires and brides were made from a folk far from home.  The Orbaalese have quickly called Kanday home and have been accepted with open arms.

 

Politically the Earl of Henwe, Tolas Garawe has married into the Chahryn Clan by marrying Marrin, Sir Temeillins daughter.  Further news from the Royal court is that the King plans to marry a Thardic woman of some import.  Her name and station a guarded state secret at this time.  But rumor is that the republic and Kanday will split Western Harn down the Thard.  This is certainly ill news for Rethem.

 

Locally in Henwe a small disruption in iron supplies brought about a catastrophic event.  Sir Idan along with Sir's Olzdan, Kesid, Ealrhan and Fandawart were investigating (in force) the recent lack of activity at the Weseda Mines.  It was determined that the mines have been out of operation for some months.  Further the reason is clear that Foulspawn have taken up residence and the Baron of Weseda has been downplaying the issue, perhaps out of saving of face or ignorance of the truth.  The company from Henwe along with 15 other men advanced on the mines.  In an attempt to quickly secure the mines they decided to enter.  Spliting forces they advanced into the tunnels in small groups.  However the mines are filled with the evil Gargun and their small exploration parties were outnumbered and over come.  Most of those who went into the mines came out in various states.  So far, however, Sir Kesid and Sir Tamel are missing.  Yet if they have met with thier end they may soon be met in Dolithor by the others who are currently engaged in a battle outside of the mines.  We shall see how our heros fare.
