KAAR BAARSHALU ORC FORT, EAST OF PAXLAIR CITY (FELUCCA), PAXLAIR - January 27, 2006

Several people heard orcish drums beating in the direction of the Orc Fort to the east of PaxLair City.  It is unclear if the drum beats were a signal, a celebration, or a war party.  Many in the city at the time did not sufficiently understand orcish lore to understand the drums.  Scholars and historians were called in to help teach the people what different orcish drum beats mean, but it is a slow process. 

PaxLair city officials are somewhat concerned, along with Dragons Watch officials.  Citizens are put on some alert, but no curfew is imposed.  There is no reason for alarm and the PaxLair City government does not want to assume the orcs are up to something - diplomatic relations with the orcs have been good over the past years.

In related news, more human and elf citizens are reportedly moving into the East Meadow of PaxLair City.  This is the area between the Twin Towers and the Orc Fort.
