Hurm under control

[Dezza]

Word is now coming out of Hurm since the mercantile sea trade has once more been allowed to continue its business.

Recently the notable figures who had helped in the city to prevent the spread of the plague and saved many lives were seen being escorted by armed guards onto a ship to be deported back to their original lands. It seems the crowd that had gathered to see them go were quite hostile throwing fruit and curses at the 'heroes' as they left.

After this several large warlike frigates all bearing the flags of the Red Bear sailed into the harbour and hundreds of sailors poured into Hurm taking up positions around the city.

Hurm was locked down tight for three days while the city's leader Saviar Morgensen met on board the Red Bears flagship. Once the discussions had finished Savier was reported as returning to his residence in a thoughful but upbeat mood.

The next day the Red Bears ships took on provisions and left the harbour once more. However at least a hundred of the Red Bears men remained behind to bolster the cities own militia.

Saviar himself has been seen in recent days walking about the city and directing re-construction of damaged buildings and more importantly issuing orders to reinforce the outer defences and in particular the port defences. It has been widely made known that he has called in Dorandite priests and artisans as well as dwarven craftsman to look at building sea walls and barricades into the harbour.

Why bother to help if this is the way those in need insist on treating us?
