The Chant
The Harmonium flags at the barracks are seen hanging at half rise, and those familiar with such practice would know it is to signify loss and sorrow. Rumors state that the hardheads have suffered losses of some of their patrolmen.
The Dark
Some of the more Nosy Cutters and bashers in the cage that have been sniffing around the Bazaar and the Lady's Ward have heard from some of the namers that Three of the injured patrolmen from the ambush a few cycles ago are among the dead. Senior Notary Vale Reynolt is also mentioned among the deceased. they say he died from his injuries while on the operating table.

The Darkest Dark:
Among demon-kind, for those whom might follow politics of the layers with the eyes of a hawk, there is only a whisper. An idea. A feeling. A layer has been claimed this day. Which and by whom remains a mystery, yet something has undeniably changed. Shifted. Ascended...

Ongoing support for the campaign upon 507th layer Occipitus has been met with success.

The Chant:
Strange figueres dressed in red have started being seen around the Undersigil Village. It is not known where they have come from or why they are there but disapearances have started to happen al around Undersigil aswell as The Hive...No definate connection have been made to prove that these figueres are responsible as of yet...A selected few however refuse to go out at night anymore in fear of what walks their street at the darkest hour...
The Dark:
Many names circulate the information brokers of the Undersigil population of what this new group call themselves...The Bloodbrood...The Blooded Creed...The Blooded Lotus... Al names however seem to have one word in common...
The disapearances have had very few witnesses when the act has been committed however a few poor sods claim to have seen the kidnappings...They claim that the individuals in red merely hightend their hand with an inviting motion and the victim seemed to move by themselves towards them. Their expressions...filled with fear as their limbs moved by their own....
The Darkest Dark:
This group seem to dabble in dark magic forgotten to most... No evedental proof has yet to be given but a few vague sources claim they are preforming feats of Blood Magic...And the victims of the kidnappings are used to fuel their wicked rituals of blood and sacrifice...

The Chant:
Some folks, especially low and merchant class, appear especially apprehensive towards the Harmonium. There have been no major incidents yet, but the occasional patrol is bound to draw a mean glance or two.
The Dark:
Those in the know suspect the shift in attitudes has something to do with an influential Indep who was slighted recently.

The Chant:
The cursed realm of Occipitus, vacant for the most part since the imprisonment of its erstwhile master Adimarchus, has a new master of sorts. The Test of the Smoking Eye, designed to select a new ruler in the event of Adimarchus' fall has been passed by an erstwhile Sigil native. Though the abyssal layer still plays host to many demons hostile to the former Factor Sixthfinger, and her control over the layer is tenuous or nonexistent at its periphery (and some confused reports even claim two rulers over the layer, called Lady Forge and Lady Source respectively), there is no denying that the power dynamic in Occipitus has shifted dramatically.
The Dark:
It is whispered that, while Occipitus itself is an abyssal backwater that few fiends of any power or importance have any interest in, the conquest of the layer may yet have wider repercussions in the tangled webs of intrigue that bind the abyss together.
Athux, son of the demon lord Graz'zt, suffered a humiliating military defeat, and his attempt to take the layer for his own domain were thwarted by mercenaries from the Cage, Doomguards, Godsmen, and Maelfina's own forces. While this will certainly check Athux's ambitions for the nonce, especially as this campaign was undertaken without his father's support, it is less clear how the Prince of Darkness himself will act now that his errant son has been put in his place...especially considering that Maelfina is a relatively well-known (Cage-side anyway) descendant of the Prince.

The Chant: Influxes of Wood and other building materias is seen going towards the barracks at odd hours during each cycle. Theres even been rumors about some sort of Construction Project being carried out inside the barracks.
The Dark:
Among the various influxes of matierlas, is also a Godsmen Delivery team, carrying some rather armored looking crates. Most likely weapons of some kind is what is speculated amongst the cutters and bashers on the streets. Some even heard the mention of Cold iron and Silver specialist weaponry.

The Chant: A half-blind coat elf has been seen at both Citadel Exhalus and Citadel Alluvius within the past ten cycles, with increasing regularity.
The Questionable Chant: The coat has taken another host. The original has been stored at Abigail's for safe keeping.
The Dark: Whatever he's doing has nothing to do with Doomguard business nor old allies. You want the truth, berk? Keep in mind the Rule of Threes.

The Chant: Whispers have been bubbling up from the usual scum haunts, ale sinks and hive bub-houses that a very rich blood has been quietly (but not too quietly) seeking out apple-chasers and ne'er do wells looking to make a LOT of jink on a dubious and dangerous job outside the Cage.
Those interested are instructed to meet a go-between at Quake's Place for an 'audition' of sorts.
The Dark: Some speculate that a prison-break of sorts is being planned. The questions of 'where' and 'who' are darker than dark though, as the blood organizing the affair has been consistently mum on the matter.

The Chant: Word spreads about a novel that arrived in place of a famous storyteller. Purportedly, it was supposed to be the seventh book in the series Adventures of Thanius Havendil. The man is known to be a whimsical rogue with no small degree of skill from previous novels, although the sixth volume was supposed to be the last in the series.
The Dark: Those nearby at the time would tell tales of a number of planeswalkers getting dragged inside the book, and then appearing on the cover alongside the titular figure, as well as inside of the story. The book seems to have either vanished or been claimed by one of the nearby bodies.
The Darkest Dark: Those with access to the book would see that it now appears to be complete, instead of the bare few chapters it began with. The book seems to end on a happy ending, although the epilogue hints that Sharleth still smoulders from the wrong inflicted upon her by Thanius. Those who had vanished inside of the book are described as walking successfully into a rising sunset, away from the now restored town of Glendale. Thanius Havendil is confronted by a shadowy figure, who slays him when he is unaware. Though restored, the townsfolk don't have quite the heads for business that Thanius did, although they also no longer have him embezzling town funding. It seems the town's future hangs uncertain.
