  3. The Ironmongers and Smiths of the Metalworkers district have been disappearing with a strange regularity. Ores, tools and anvils have also gone missing. Looks like its not just Wyrdstone that is hunted for in the Metalworkers quarter.

    into the darkness.

  7. A large seam of Wyrdstone has been allegedly discovered imbedded in the foundations of a destroyed inn in the River Front district.

    Half after his band of Marienburgers fort off the Skaven in a fierce street fight."
