NEWS and RUMOURS

• Strange Shadow creatures have been seen all over the oasis. Even top planar experts dont recognise what they are.
• A farmer claims he saw his cow jump over the moon. His dishes ran away too.
• The stars in the night sky have been getting brighter each night.
• A man in red has been reported wandering the Oasis alternately giving aid and burning people. Badly.
• Storm giants are invading from the North. Local peasantry has asked for assistance.
• Despite warm spring tempetures, several local streams have gotten quite cold over the past week or so, some even forming ice in the middle of the streams.
• Many of the dwarves in the Oasis seem extremely happy for some reason.
• Magic seems to be growing really unstable. Spellcasters report that their spells don't work sometimes, and it takes longer to memorize spells.
• Be wary of telling your constructs to Phase Out - they might not come back.
• With all of this talk about the Planes, local Orcs, Necromancers, and other usual suspects are upset they're "not getting enough attention".
• 9 out of 10 critics agree: Eirin is infact pretty.
• The Eternal Vigilance Order cannot be trusted! One of them can't explain his origin, another is a dragon in disguise, and the third comes from another reality altogether! That talking silver golem is just a hollow suit with a Gnome inside.
• ... Speaking of Gnomes, they are not related at all to the Yuan-Ti that destroyed the Underdark last year. Nope, not one bit. Not a thing.
• Dab-Dab, Chaos Lord of Freedom and The Oasis, is no longer top-dog in the Oasis. No Beastmen are to be trusted at all.
