(message received by falcon to you in Greece)
Callas,
I have been asked by the remaining favored clerics of Epona to pass this message on to you.

Callas,
The death of Ulan presents several problems that have arisen in the hierarchy of Epona. Ulan had no clear line of succession other than Nara. The death of Ulan at the hands of your sworn knight Gaviao would have left us with the luxury of choosing a new Headmistress. But Ulan's death left Nara in the position. The death of Nara by your hand leads us back to a rule that has been left on the books since the teachings of Epona were sent down to us. The strongest stallion will rule the herd. We have taken this message from Epona and applied it to the situation at hand. Nara named no successor, therefore if she was the "stallion" and was defeated, the New "Stallion" takes over the "herd". You are now in the position of Headmistress of the temple of Epona. Your actions and orders are the rules that we must abide by. We are here to serve.

We have attached a list of items that need to addressed and the response if any.
The plague continues unchecked throughout Italy, excluding Sicily. Cases have sprung up in Portugal, Spain, France, Greece and are steadily marching north.
The plague seems to concentrated in the most populous areas and is so far not decimating horse or animal populations. There have been deaths but by far more human deaths that those of the animals. We lost contact with several of our Northern Clerics in specific, the areas of Sweden, Norway and Finland. We dispatched other clerics to find out the trouble and none have returned.
Denmark reports a large amount of ship traffic in the Baltic sea. Unmarked ships, country origin unknown, contents unknown, though they are low in the water. They do not seem to be pirates nor are they armed heavily.
The massive stone circle of Stonehenge is being used quite heavily. Citings of Drow pouring through that gate are alarming. They seem to be massing in the area of Wales, deep in the swamps. Local farmers have fled the area, those that lived through encounters with the drow report that they are not attacking if they don't have to. They seem to be searching for something.
Winter is upon us and the orc and goblins are streaming out of the mountains in droves to find food, they are attacking anything that looks like it could be good to eat. This is not unusual in itself but the sight of dragon activity in the same areas is rather disturbing. The crusades dwindled the population of the dragons to very low levels but these levels have not been seen in centuries.
Two sites of red mitheral have found, one in southern Germany, the other in Romania, both abandoned it seems, but still lightly guarded by Drow.
The Council of Elves has asked to meet with the ruling representative of Epona, there message was unclear as to what they wanted to discuss. This now means you, Callas.
Initiate Ceremonies are being held as usual on the Solstice, in Madrid. They would be honored if you could attend.
A new Irish regional headmaster still needs to be appointed. This list of potentials is small and probably needs to be reevaluated. Both swore loyalty to Ulan.
Those are the immediate brush fires that need attending too. Please Advise.

Good luck, Callas.
