Joint Fleet on Patrol
After intense negotiations, and the threat of sanction from the Lord's Alliance, The Queen of the Moonshaes agreed to begin anti-piracy patorls in her waters, with the aid of vessels and magical assistance from Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate. The Lords continue to push for an investigation of who led the raids and from where they were launched.

Joshuan Gallidox, our consultant on the Moonshaes, suspects the Queen's rule is tenuous at best in the Iluskan-Dominated parts of her realm, and must walk a tenuous path between engagement with the cities of the Sword Coast and catering to the interests of the nobility.

Colossi Activate in Tower Raid
In a lightning raid on Alaghiron's tower, a party of at least eight unidentified persons assaulted the wards on Alaghiron's tower. One of Waterdeep's Colossi activated to defray the attacks of the powerful Frost Giant wizard that accompanied them, and a slew of ogre and ettin zombies were set loose in the city, which acitvated the remainder of the Colossi. Citizens rushed indoors during the bedlam, while a party in the Lord's service, along with the Griffon Cavalry, rushed into the fray.

Those assaulting had the significant support of many spellcasters, and coordinated several other disturbances in other parts of the city. Whether a crime of opportunity or in conjunction with the raid, the temple vault of Selûne was robbed concurrently. The Raiders were apparently repulsed by a heretofore-undischarged ward of the tower, and dissapeared as soon as they'd come. Two captives, hit by dimensional anchors, were held for questioning.

Kerketh Nighbreeze was tapped by the Lords to head the investigative commission in the incident. His relative anonymity, sources say, ensures that he is unconnected to any parties involved.

Githzerai Seen in Numbers
Over thirty Githzerai have gathered in Neverwinter over the last week, and speculation abounds over the nature of their visit. Among their number are two hand-combat champions that have one contests the realms over with their skill as pugilists. Some have suggested they are preparing for an investigation against Al'hizroën (Mind Flayers), while others suggest the innocuous purpose of a tournament of monks.
