Arboreal Maledictions (10/29/2013)
Our amazing analysts at the Adoulin Examiner are back with their third enchanting exposition!
In our last issue, the dynamic duo sought to question a quirky man dressed in black...but their valiant efforts ended in vain.
I wonder who he was, kupo...
Setting that aside, in this astounding article Fam and Owl attend to the magnificent mysteries of the Ulbukan continent.
To think! A genteel girl gallivanting through the wilds! Her family must be furious, kupo!
But this time, they took with them a young woman affiliated with the Order of Weatherspoon, which asserts authority equal to the omnipotent Order of Adoulin.
Why? Well, with exceptional exorcists like...what's his name...that's right, Vortimere! Vortimere commands the highest heights of respect.
You know, for many moons, men have told tales of the "curse of the forest"...could it be related to the exorcists, kupo?
Read the revealing report on their adventures with a freshly-minted exorcist and find out!

Don't Judge a Galka by His Fur (10/16/2013)
Happy harvest-time hoedown, hearty harriers of havening!
Once again the vibrations of voluminous voices chanting "Trick or treat," will soon echo extensively off enclosures and embankments throughout the three nations, kupo.
By the way, do you remember the record of rambling rovers from the remote west who smoked out the secrets of the spooky and spine-chilling Dark Lilies for all to see? I believe they maintained peace under the moniker of "exorcist," kupo.
Well, one of these acolytes of Altana wound up waxing wise in Windurst with a mage.
Thanks to his seriously sagacious statements, the mage learned some lasting lessons about not berating a book based on its binding, kupo.
Read on for the entirety of an encouraging exchange between an enchanter and exorcist.

Melvien's Personal Reflections: Curses from on High (10/03/2013)
My dear pioneer, you come at a most opportune moment.
Your name rings through these halls, with my master chanting it like a mantra.
There have even been hushed whispers that you have parleyed with the enigmatic leafkin queen...
But don't misconstrue this curiosity as some backhanded attempt to pry information from you. No, I have stopped you at these gates for a discussion about master Melvien.
You see, his health has been faltering of late.
He has always been the type to throw himself into his work—that much is certain—but the past fortnight, the candles in his quarters have remained lit until the moon begins to set. He has never had such difficulty finding slumber previously.
Come to think, his aberrant schedule commenced not long after the discord that swept the castle gates, when the heads of the Twelve Orders assembled for a colloquy about matters of great import.
His face a ghastly white, the master scurried home and shut himself in for hours. Now it is a chore to get him to consume even the most digestible biscuit or agreeable cup of tea as he sits at his desk consumed in thought.
What could have transpired at the castle to cause such a sudden change?
Read on to learn of the tragedy that befell the grand chancellor as witnessed by the heads of the Twelve Orders.
