The Umbar Hunts

To all those of brave spirit, wise counsel, and cunning demeanour...
The pious world of Damaris is once more readying itself for the great hunts beneath the waves.
As has been our tradition since first our world was founded, the great ice will be cracked, the
waves will be soldiered, and into the deeps will we search once again for the Imayda, that most
rare and dangerous creature of the shadowed deeps.
Any are welcome to join, for this hunt has always called for more than just nobility and skill with
the blade. It needs guile, ruthless violence, and an iron will, to forge past the most terrible of
obstacles. There are no rules beneath the waters, for only the strong may survive the ice and
bitter cold, no laws that constrain except those laws of heart and mercy you bring yourself.
To the victors, who bring the great eye of such a beast to the surface, will be granted the title of
'Rohn-Kuhr', Walker of the Abyss, and all benefits that such titles bring. They will each also be
granted the privilege of supping from the Imayla Chalice, to which their hunt will be added and
celebrated.
May the God-Emperor be with you, and may they bless thy voyage.

Beware: Nephali's Path

As of 797.M41, thirty-four and a half ships have been declared 'Lost to the Warp' between
Lucin's Breath and Footfall. Current Insurance Rates have increased by 514% due to the
risk now present. At current trends, there is a 17.4% chance that your ship will not survive
the journey should you choose to make it.
Neither Passage Watch 27-Est nor the Station of Footfall takes any responsibility for damage
or death incurred. Should your ship be destroyed in making the journey, your next of kin will
be fined for the resulting increase in Insurance Rates as they are calculated in effect of
Passage Watch 27-Est.
Current recommendations involve the following:
Sanctifying the ship either to the God-Emperor or the Omnissiah.
Completing the journey through short and frequent Warp Jumps.
Completing the journey through a single and long Warp Jump.
Not Going.
This effort in levity has been sponsored by the Halycon Shipping Corporation.
Please leave any feedback regarding its efficacy with Customer Support at the Docking Bay.
Continued Tracking will follow whether it affects survival rates as well.
Thank you.

Breaking News:
Footfall Faces Famine,
Cannot Walk it Off

As has been reported by The Wandering Eye for the last few years, Footfall has found itself
in dire straits. After our last report of impending famine, a run on the station's supplies has
brought imminent catastrophe and collapse to the lower levels of the station, that go far beyond
mere rationing and emergency relief.
Currently, talks are underway between the myriad factions upon Footfall and outside suppliers,
but the lack of unity has forced such talks to a standstill. As we speak, thousands starve in the depths
awaiting some compromise to be achieved, but such hopes seem far-fetched and unlikely.
Perhaps now would be a good time for the Imperium to finally assert control upon the station,
bringing order and unity at long last to a region that has proven itself vacant and lost amidst
its self-imposed 'freedom'.
That's all for the moment however, though we will continue to supply you with updates as needed.
Subscribe now to keep up with where our eye wanders next, and please tell us your
thoughts on the Footfall Famine or your suggestions for how the Imperium can solve it.
