"It seems bands of non-human raiders have been harassing villagers, their origin is as yet unknown. Several smaller farmsteads have been put to the torch. Whether these raiders are acting under orders or merely greed remains uncertain." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"Reliable witnesses indicate the raiders are united under identical banners, emblazoned with a sleeping face. Enclosed is a sketching of the insignia, but what it indicates remains unclear." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"The raiders have increased in numbers and are acting in concert. They steal little, and what they don't take they destroy. Their primary motivation seems to be total war, the death and destruction of all they encounter. I urge His Highness to treat these raiders as an invading army." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"The common folk have taken to telling tales of The Red Warbands, and wild rumors have linked them to a resurgence of the dragons and the war. There seems to be no credibility to these rumors." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"In the inspection of what remained of a small trading post in the north, several bodies were recovered. No obvious wounds can be found aside from the predations of scavengers and the feeding of insects, but it clear the victims died in the grips of incredible terror. It twists their faces even in death." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"Following three nights of waiting in ambush, a unit of the Red Warbands was caught between two units of guardsmen. We counted among the enemy two orcs, three goblins and an ogre. All were dressed of a kind but the ogre, who seemed in some way diseased. All fought to the death, gripped by a fanaticism that was fearful to look upon. No prisoners could be taken, half our number were lost." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"A young boy was recovered from the ashes of Brigton, the first survivor we have found. He says little, and recalls only what the corrupted ones chanted as they razed his home: 'Fear for feasting, fear for feasting. Feed, and feed, and feed. Raise! Raise the Queen.'" -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"We are following a Warband, heavy with pillaged treasures, from a day's distance. We anticipate they are returning to their stronghold, and will reveal to us their headquarters and true size of their forces." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
"A crucial discovery. The Red Warbands originate from the mountain passes. I move in to investigate, and will report when I return." -- Unsigned Report, King's Agent
