Attention, citizens of Albia. This is a broadcast from the Office of the Great Expedition.
We bring grave news: all adventurers who set forth toward the southwest region of the southern continent have failed to return. Not a single expedition has reported back.
What awaits in that quarter of the world remains unknown. Whether it is treacherous lands, hostile forces, or something far darker, we cannot yet say. But let this be a warning to all who would venture there: the southwest is no place for the faint of heart.
Adventurers are urged to take caution, to prepare beyond measure, and to remember that Albia’s future depends not only on boldness, but on wisdom.
Proceed if you must but know the risks are dire, and the path may claim more than just your lives.
For Albia. For the Druecian Empire.
