Report on possible anathema related activities in the kingdom of Andalusite:




1) Raids:


There have been a number of raids in the past 18 months on shipping in the kingdom, concentrated on the Maine river, although an increase in activity on the lake region has also been noted. It has previously been thought that this was whole due to mortal pirates in the area. However recent events have suggested otherwise. Significantly:

a) A kidnap attempt on Princess Ellen in Rutile conducted by a number of individuals. One anima banner, presumed to be Solar was spotted in this. At least two other exalts of unknown nature were spotted in this affair, with an unknown form of sorcery used to foil the attack. The description of the anima banner, matches that of the anathema circle known as “The Brilliant Maurauders” This circle should be considered extremely dangerous. Tepet Silus is known to be taking an interest in this matter. A second raid by the Bear Anima group on what is suspected to have been a death cult meeting several days later (see below) is suspected to be related to this first incident. A third raid though to have occurred a week later resulted in the loss of a minor guild caravan, three days out of Rutile (the capital of Analusite) One survivor described a large golden bear and a several hundred raiders each bearing black caste marks in the style of the Forsaken anathema. The deaths of several of those with Forsaken caste marks to mortal troops suggests against a hundred anathema raiders.

b) Three Guild barges have been found burned and pillaged between The Gorge and Port Kras in the past week. A number of smaller settlements have been found likewise. The style appears to be brutal and almost bestial, no survivors and several corpses mutilated and partially eaten. The dates of the raids would appear to suggest a pattern migrating north towards the Kras and Ima.

c) Agents at Fort Katz report that barbarian activity is on the increase in that area. Likewise the barbarian activity in the lake region is reported to have increased.




Banned Religions and other insurgents:


a) There have been historic references to death cults in the city of Tulas (formerly Anam) While the city does occasionally weed out a nest of necromancers this would appear to be a constant annoyance. It is supposed that the area may have a significance for those involved in the arts of the dammed.

b) Rumours of Death cults have been reported in both Ima and Rutile in the past two months. The philosophy appears to include a mixture of somewhat contradictory tenants and claims a wide support base in both the lower and upper classes. These rumours have yet to be confirmed.

c) Similarly rumours of a life cult have also been reported in Ima and Rutile. These reports suggest a presence amongst the under classes of the cities with little or no support amongst the upper classes. The tenants appear to be in support of life and an overthrow of the establishment.

d) Rumours of insurgency in Kras have appeared, the nature of this insurgency is directed against the current governor and is in support of unrestricted trade. Guild involvement is suspected.

e) An organisation known as “The Obsidian Shield” is thought to be in the area. Their stated aims are that of combating the efforts of the Deathlord: Mask of Winters. There have been no reports of this individual in the area.




Other information:


a) Tepet Silus is known to be in the area. Avoid this individual if at all possible. Contact with agents of The All-Seeing Eye should be kept to a minimum. Members of this expedition are authourised to disregard orders from the Eye while on this mission.

b) The Legendary Assassin Sakura is thought to be in the area. This individual was spotted in Nexus five months ago. Sakura is believed to be an exalt, although her nature is unknown. This individual may have some connection to the Obsidian Shield.

c) A small volcanic island north of Lelan erupted approximately two months ago. This is thought to be the result of tinkering of a Dragon-Blooded exalt. This matter is being dealt with via other methods.

d) Lt. V'neef Temari Valis (wood aspect) is currently MIA from this Legion. Valis was last known to be investigating the anathema reports in the region of Ima under the pretext of visiting friends in the area. She has not been in contact for 5 days despite having the means with which to do so.
