Have You Heard the News? Part 1

"Did you hear? Did you hear?"

Hundreds of voices with thousands of variations and opinions on the same story speak all over the city-state.

In the twilight shadows across Westville, word spreads like liquid upon granite, pouring through the ears of every Borne beneath the dome.

"What? What is it that I was meant to hear?"

"There's a new King of Xeron."

"They say he killed Chaos."

"The new King is Daniel, the Great Desecrator."

"The new King!"

"The Great Desecrator!"

"He said he'll bring an end to our suffering."

"Bridge the gap between Ephrenes and the Borne."

"He wants us to forgive Ephrenes?"

"Outrageous!"

"Ephrenes took away my family!"
