Something is amiss in the frontiers. Check out this report from an Albion squire:

Early this morning in Albion, a lone squire arrived at the gates, exhausted from his ride through the night.  What he had to report was both interesting and alarming.  The squire was stationed at Caer Benowyc when a messenger arrived from the advanced forced fighting in Hibernia territory.  It seems that an ethereal, draconic-looking creature materialized over Dun Bolg, where an Albion force was holding back a Hibernian attempt to retake the keep.  Thinking that this may be a new Hibernian tactic, the archers and ballistae on the ramparts fired at the creature.  To their surprise, the missiles passed through the creature without harming it.  It did not react, but rather kept drifting almost leisurely over the keep.  The creature then dematerialized.

While the messenger relayed his message, the creature reappeared, this time over Caer Benowyc.  Once again, attempts to attack the creature were ineffective, and still, it did nothing that seemed threatening.  In the squire's opinion, the creature seemed only interested in observing them.  He said that while the creature was frightening because of its massive size and dragon-like appearance, its visage, twinkling with thousands of star-like lights, was a stunning sight to behold.  The final bit of information passed along by the squire was that just before he left, the soldiers at the keep began reporting a sense of renewed vigor.  Though squire was not certain if it was coincidental or not, he felt he should report it.
