Word today spreads rapidly of a seaborne encounter of the western shores of Succession where two of the Admiral Red Bear of Hurms Blood Circle captains have intercepted three slaver ships belonging to the Vine out of Katherian.
Two of the ships were sunk with all aboard lost while the last was captured.
Blood Circle Captain Lion the Brutal returned to port with the crew of the last pirate vessel hung prominantly from his masts, as is his custom. A gruesome reminder to any who would ply the trade of a slaver anywhere near Liwich.
At the same time rumours from Hurm report that the Silver Cresent has been mainly absent from the western coasts of Dreger for some years now having found more lucrative sources of income to the eastern edge of Dreger, reportedly in the employ of the Cult of Kuhl.
