After an unfortunate but necessary absence from the Realm, I undertook a full inspection of the city. The results are disturbing. The corrupted water has spread northeast into the VirtueWind and PaxKrat Districts, polluting the entrances to both my Museum Annex and Mayor Gareth's office. The Blue Light and DukeLoth Districts to the southwest are also showing damage. Worst of all, the VoidQueen District appears to be a total loss, with some unknown devastation taking out the buildings there.

In addition, what used to be the PaxOku City Well is destroyed as well, with an apparent entrance to the Well of Souls wide-open. The evil Gareth, thought to be destroyed, is now loose among us again while Mayor Gareth is dead. However, mediums in our midst have made contact with his spirit in the well, and it is hoped that a large concerted effort by multiple mediums may gather more information.

I humbly ask that the citizens of PaxOku, as well as any other citizens of the Realm that may assist, give me any assistance you can offer. I am open to any and all suggestions right now for dealing with the disaster that has befallen our city.

Lady Katherine,
Emergency Acting Mayor of PaxOku
