Like Portfast, Glakbyrgh is dying. Belfast's Flame of the Sky cult found fertile ground in Glaksyrgh and has taken root. Fear of the cult, along with economic depression, has lead to an atmosphere of paranoia and Glaksbyrgh has executed more people than it can afford to lose. |

The Barony is in trouble. It is on war footing, just waiting for the next orc assault. It no longer has the annual wagons of gold coming from the Empire that was once its primary source of income. The Baron has finally exhausted his reserve funds, and the council of cities is threatening a veto if he raises taxes again. Right now the Baron and his advisors are casting about, looking for anything that might help them out of the looming crisis. | The Barony is in trouble.
