Lord Governor Tallen Gorbas of Trynn declared a state of emergency as the malady known as Redwater Fever swept through the city in the first half of the month. The assistance of Master Herbalist Asham Katoreth was instrumental in creating treatment packets for those afflicted. The tireless efforts of the acolytes fo the Halls of healing in distributong those packets ware also recognized.   We have received news of a different plague in the gnomish village of Tarcq, in the eastern hills of the Ridgewood, which was also brought to heel through the efforts of several individuals.   Word has reached the city of an attack of a large group of gnolls on the folk of Arden's Holding on Long Creek. With the aid of Idranor Ardhenol, the attack was beaten back, and the gnolls seem to have disappeared back into the Ridgewood -- at least for now.
