Broken Blade Invasion Aftermath Report

This report, spanning several pieces of weathered parchment, was put together by Vicar Ambriel Zamphros as a means of ensuring proper care for the dead is maintained in light of the great tragedy that befell the Ten Towns. Sheriff Southwell seems to have added some notes about structural and material loss as well, with a mind for the eventual rebuilding effort.   There are far too many names for you to comb through entirely, but you do recognize several of the names listed.

General Situation

• Six of the Ten Towns destroyed or otherwise rendered uninhabitable
• Honeybrook
• Caer Sella
• Vrath Keep
• Hole-in-the-Ice
• Lystheim
• Whiteridge
• Estimated ~1,300 dead from Battle of Whiteridge and Chardalyn Dragon attack.
• Remaining refugees gathered at Camp Daybreak in just outside of the Hartwick Thicket
• Remaining towns of Icemeet, Three Streams, Mirlake, Hartwick, Duhngrave, and Storm's Call struggling to accomodate wave of surviving refugees. Supply shortage imminent by the end of the summer at the latest. Continuation of Eternal Rime makes outlook grim.

Honeybrook

• Entire town except for Mead Hall leveled
• Major loss of citizenry - ~65 of 100 dead
• Speaker Olivessa Untapoor & remaining citizenry alive
