Fairwater Grapevine

The following rumors may be heard around town or at any of the listed landmarks from any of the NPCs they may interact with:
Tales of a previously unknown daughter have come to town which may explain why Wuornos Druettis hasn’t been seen in a week.
There has been no news from the Kingdom of Duskmounte to the south in over a month, which is very unusual for the inventors of Duskmounte.
Imto Kahn is said to be asking around quietly in preparation for his famous annual party held in his tower to the north.
Strange lights and sounds have been heard out at the cemetery, sounds other than that of Dhamphy doing their normal grounds keeping chores or the light of their lamp.
While the occasional protection payment might be made at the docks, no one would risk invoking the Velvet Claw with outright theft there or at the warehouses.
While news from Wooden Planks (By The Sea) to the east and Ravenfell, the barony seat, to the west is steady, news from south of the border has all but stopped completely.
While caravans usually have hired help to protect passengers and goods between waypoints from animals, gnoll bands, and the rare fey, bandits are unusual along major thoroughfares.
There’s been an unusual increase in Academy presence lately. At least, several of The Faculty have been seen coming into town, but no one has seen them since.
