Travel Warning: Skare Brae Highway Closed
From Skara Brae
Authorities report that brigand activity along the highway stretching from Skara Brae to Britain & Yew has reached such a level that there is no choice but to shut the highway down except for military personnel. A merchant and her merry servant have gone missing and were last seen passing near the major crossroad. Citizens are encouraged to report any sighting of the two immediately to the Fortress of Spirituality in Skara Brae. If found in an unresponsive manner, it is important that you do not approach the servant as the wares he was carrying for his master were of a rare nature and should be handled with care.
From Sir Viktor Price on the Closing:
"Loyal Citizens, it is with regret that the highway servicing Skara Brae to Yew and Britain must be closed for the time being except to authorized military personnel. Over the past few days, an alarming number of merchants and military caravans have come under attack from lawless brigands that seek only to rape and pillage. It has become a daily, grizzly, scene that my patrols have come upon. Men, women, often stripped of their clothing with just their rotting corpses left baking in the sun. This is no way for any citizen of Britannia to meet their end. It is for this reason that the highway has been shut down and will remain so for the foreseeable future."
From Lore Denin, Lord of Whispering Winds, on the Mines & Detours:
"After a thorough investigation, The Whispering Winds Town Council has come to the grim conclusion that the blackrock mines situated along the main road of town connecting Skara Brae to Britain, posse an eminent threat to travelers. A mandatory detour is in place which takes travelers north off the main road at the Mother Tree and then mortheast through the Fairgrounds reconnecting with the road after a few miles bypassing the danger. At this point the town of Whispering Winds is proceeding with great caution in regaurd to closing the mines for fear that a full out raid might result in the very devastation the town hopes to avoid."
