Merchants traveling north from Sloren noticed a putrid scent on the air. Curiosity and circling carion birds led them to a grisly scene not far off of the main road just at the southern edge of the Great Desert. The bodies of half a dozen giants lay in a heap, their insides turned out through the work of what appears to be large and powerful claws.--------------------Heard but not seen? The calls and roars of what people believe to be dragons were heard over Leringard. Though many eyes turned skyward, no one could catch a glimpse of anything besides clouds and coastal birds.--------------------Reports from a patrol out of Hilm Castle spoke of a trio of giants falling from the sky on an overcast day. It is not known whether or not the giants were dead before hitting the ground, but they certainly were dead after.--------------------A platoon of Silverguard moving between Spellgard and Vandery reported an encounter with a dragon who claimed the road belonged to it. The dragon was driven off once the Silverguard were able to flank it, but not before losing one of their numbers to the dragon's jaws.
