We expect major leaps forward in the magic of death, or life, or both, in the next year. This is great news for all mages across Illyria. And especially for the Circle of Five."

In response, Belatorix Roshan, Chief Druid of the Kildarran, expressed regret at the Geomancer's choice of words. "We noted the plight of these lost souls nearly two moons since, and we asked that peace might be found for them, that they may find rest. Yet the Geomancer speaks of magic and power. His words seem to lack compassion for these lost souls."

Always happy to allow our good friends at the Circle of Five the opportunity to set the record straight, the Herald asked Geomancer Herrolf for his response, and he assured us, "Peace? Rest? What? Oh yes, of course. The souls will be, err, very rested. Definitely. In due course."

"And on that subject," the Geomancer continued, "we've just had more good news.

Our researchers have forged a set of outstanding swords, which we will be distributing to the lords and ladies who most helped in holding each of the regional beacons."

The Circle of Five intend to dispatch these enchanted blades in the next few weeks, "once we've made sure that they aren't too angry. I mean, that the magics are stable."
