Rumors:
House Tessen Seeks The Creation Of A Flagship - The Tessen Speaker
With House Tessen and House Dall having finished quick negotiations for a small fleet of airships, mainly four of the new Lightwings-Class who will enter production swiftly, House Tessen has also announced during negotiations that they seek the creation of a Flagship for the Region, able to carry a Knigh-Chapter into battle at a moment's notice and able to withstand withering fire from Machine Dreadnoughts, which it shall return in kind thanks to the recently re-created coilgun variants by the Pilgrims. Though concerns were raised due to the Imperial Airship Laws that recently went into effect, these were alleviated as the Flagship would not be placed under the command of House Tessen but operated under a split authority between the Military and the Settlements of the Region. Essentially, though this is a first draft we were made to understand, the first would approve requested engagements and captain the ship, while the latter would crew and set patrol schedules. While a far more detailed and comprehensive list of rules and responsibilities would follow if House Dall agrees to construct one such ship, Sub-General Aiden Gracia has already voiced interest in such a venture, seeing it as a way to take pressure off of caravans by providing visible, and highly lethal, protection to their routes.

Excavations In The Forest Of Rust - The Truthful Observers
It is plain to see, and hard to ignore, that the Pilgrims have managed to find something within the Rusting Forest valuable enough, perhaps dangerous enough, that they have undertaken an effort to excavate whatever they have discovered, as the heavy equipment being, slowly and ponderously, carried into the Necropolis can attest. One needs to ask: why are they willing to risk upsetting the delicate and murderous balance of the rusting city to our north in such a blatant way, and will whatever they rouse from such activity be worth the things they seek to grasp?

The Pilgrims Look To Sponsor Orphanages For Outlying Towns - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
In news more occupied with better days and brighter futures, the Pilgrims have announced that they are seeking to sponsor orphanages within outlying towns and settlements, hoping to fortify them to withstand the ravages of Mutant, Machine, and Raider attacks that occasionally sweep through even the best-defended settlements before they are beaten back. Though the authorities of such places are hesitant to allow the involvement of non-state authorities in the running of those places, donations and aid have always been welcome, no matter their source.

Region Report/s
Bone Valley
With our Outpost in The Doomed Offices established, I have agreed that our efforts should be turned toward establishing several hospices within the city. Path knows that many require a place to die in peace and dignity, and far too few will be given the chance to end their paths painlessly and in comfort. It is the least we can provide those with nothing left but time.
Signed; Omar of Iron.

Hello, this is Akane.
Work continues, people people, and some [heavily scribbled out word] person of unknown heritage has begun pilfering our food supplies. I know not if it is a person, an animal, a Mutant, or a Machine, but they are taunting me. I haven't slept for two days but will try again tonight. I know that [heavily scribbled out word] person of questionable morals is out there. Mocking me.
We'll see who has the last laugh...
With an enraged goodbye,
Akane.
Broken Crossroads
I have arranged for extra security to be established, especially now, thanks to several airships arriving at the ADCS and bringing good coin into our coffers and thieves to our gates, with an eye toward reliable mercenaries until we have enough faithful with weapons in hand to take over that duty.

There is nothing out of the ordinary to report. There have been some new converts, marriages, and new or expecting couples, with a good dash of festivals added to the mix. The Path before our feet has been comfortable and guarded by shade. I pray that we will see it continue and that we shall have the strength when tribulations and trials cross our paths.
May our Paths continue at ease.
