- Complaints of a disturbance in the western part of the Eternal Forest were made last night. It was assumed to be the pair of Silver Dragons known to live in that region, notorious for devouring unlucky maidens and knights alike, however reports of thunderclaps and unusual flashes of light along with the dragon roars were also made. An investigation was made the following morning, revealing some patches of churned and damp earth but no signs of any further knight deaths, nor any signs of the dragons themselves, except for a bloody saurian ribcage and spinal cord sitting atop the lair. It is unknown how a dragon could be parted with such vital body parts without leaving any blood, gore, or corpse behind. Larket guards believe this to be a conjuration prank by Academy students that resulted in the Silvers temporarily leaving their nest. No suspects are currently being looked at although an eye is being kept on the skies, should the feral Silvers return in a rage.

- An unknown source of water has flooded portions of Ferminville. So far no one is taking the blame for this, though it's believed it started somewhere near Larket – yet the humans of that city are saying their sewers have been flooded, too. One such man apparently saw a beautiful and awe inspiring hat under the sewers shortly after the incident, but he was assured it was the Gods themselves wearing such unmatched hat-wear that all he did for the rest of the day was return to his home and pray he too could cover his head in such a fashionable fashion. There was also the sound of a child's laugher ringing out just before the incident. Authorities are looking into this.

- August 8
- With the appearance of a strange dryad, Larket decided it would be best to figure out what was going on. Kelovath and two fellow paladins started to make their way into the sewers, but that attempted was halted by a small feline child. Although, the events that took place were much better than the possible wild chase into the sewer.
- August 7
- A strange dryad has been recently visiting Larket, growing more bold in being seen. All that is known is she visits the sewers and doesn't return for some hours until she comes out and vanishes once more. It's unknown what exactly she is doing and she's heavily hooded, unable to be directly seen, but her suspicious acts have a few locals quite spooked.
