Description

Unfortunately, we are not the only ones who took notice of opportunities in the Reach. Our scouts have sent word of pirate vessels moored offshore. The first longboats have apparently come ashore on our northeastern beaches. Our history is not theirs to plunder. If you come across these pirates, send them swimming back to their little boats.

  • Emberthal AwaitsThe Forbidden Reach · Level 70

    We are by no means ready to relax, but at least our encampment here is stable... for the time being. I should be able to handle the rest of our operation from here. Emberthal arrived while you were in the field. She and her allies are surveying the area from the cliffs above.
