YE OLDE DAILY SCRYE

News Brief:

It seems that the Empire is tottering again on the edge of war. The Empire has been involved in a skirmish with two Elven forces on the borders. The attacks happened shortly after dawn, as the Empire was on patrol in the forest; a contingent of Wood Elves was spotted and engaged by the brave Empire soldiers. The witchery and unnatural tactics that the Elves used forced the Empire into a rout, and they were forced to retreat back across the border to gather strength again. However, the trickery of the Elves was not yet complete.

Shortly afterward, the Empire headed out under new strength to repel the Elven forces, only to meet up with an entirely fresh contingent. The Empire's forces were decimated. The survivors returning from the battle say that the Elves have the taint of Chaos upon them now, and that there is no doubt now that "they pose a direct threat to the safety of the empire and its allies, and must be met with the utmost resistance!"

The Empire is calling on its allies in the west and north to bring their strength to bear against the seemingly corrupted Elven nations. Arch-Deacon Edderich, counsel to the Empire, is currently on a campaign to bring as many allied forces as he can under his banner, with the intention of marching to battle in the summer months.
