A new senior priest, shamen, or wizard required: Venerable Father Orzodock has fallen ill and has been recalled to Skakasis to recouperate and his successor Father Nikampru has become impotent and unable to perform the duties required as the Husband of Zminzu Priestess of Azimunda. We need a new one Desperately.

Feuding with Torbel town over rights to irrigated land and grazing land.

Dangerous Cult: The Cult of Spider Women has been growing in secret, and have started to breed with young men and boys of the city, spurning their husbands and having already birthed some Spider Face Goblings from wandering Mercenaries, these raise and protect their mutant children in a dissued warehouse outside of town.

Hex 6:
Torbel Town: Population 135

Leadership: Leader Appointed By Holy Folk: Adjudicator Merwak

Civilized Herders and Farmers in Mud Brick Houses

Village Features: Protected by Trenches and Earthworks, There's a flock of Guard Geese at Every Entrance, Everyone is Trained in Slings, Village is famous for its large herds, There's a famous food and drink here: The Torbel Plate is a combination of of Bread, Sliced Peas Cake, topped by a mix of Beans, Lentils, Broth, and Boiled Beef with Cream and Onions, often drunk with a local beer.

Troubles:

Barbarian Raiders Taking Livestock and People: Water Elemental Women of the Red Wave Tribe have been using their Horses to steal from the flock and even take girls and young boys. This is forcing herders onto Border Town Lands.

A Greater Power Trying To Sway Village To Join Them: Denkili, an adventurer from Haderad attached to the Archeological Society, is actually an agent of Stormhome, and has spent much of his time lobbying townsmen and even Merwak and the village Matriarchs to cease paying their taxes to Sakasiss, who clearly can't protect them, and instead swithc to Haderad, promising a Storm Tribe Garrison, and an expansion of the population. A new slave and mule for every Townsman.

Someone is plotting to Take Over: Sarod, The Leader of the Mercenaries escorting the Archeological Expedition has been taking liberties with local women. They have filled him with the idea of taking over the Town by force of arms.

Someone Dug Up Something Best Left Forgotten: Ekir, son of Baruk the Herder, went with the Archaeological Society and in a dig found a Ceramic Jar with a Serpent Head. Hoping for a reward, he tried to clean it up first. Accidentally cracking the Jar he released the power of the Brain of Zarkiss, an ancient Sorceror. He now stores the Brain near his Father's home. The Brain acts as a draw for Serpentmen, Mutants, and Cultists, and has begun to Mutate Baruk and his Family.

Witch Cult Operating in Area: The Cult of Spider Women from Border Town have spread into the Torbel Town Area. Under the influence of the local ruins, the Spider Women have added Diabolic Rites to their unspeakable and lascivious practices.

Merchants have had a problem getting through: Due to the actions of the local Baboon Beastmen, Red Wave Barbarians, and just plain rotten luck, Merchants from Sakakiss, Haderad, and Tyranaea have been stopping more often in Border Town rather than coming further to Torbel Town. This Forces Torbel Town Residents to travel to the Border Market, and pay the often exorbitant duties there. Also opening them to raids on the way their or back.

It also attracts the brute things of the world: Snakes, Lizards, Baboons, and Savanah Apes.
