Guard Activity In Cellsvich Forest

The sound of barking hounds ring out from amongst the trees, and the sway of lanterns can be found dancing amongst the trees late at night in the forest near Cellsvich, and Fort Arjav. It seems the nighttime watch has been massively strengthened, but only few would know why... One thing is sure however: The Imperial Guard have once more taken to the nearby woods under order of First Squad Eiael Aeyes.

When asked, the guardsmen would almost universally say they were hunting 'Rabid beasts' that had caused a recent attack on forest-goers, but the sheer scale of the operation leaves many questions unanswered. Why are this many guards combing past the trees, and bushes? Are they actually hunting for beasts? Why not just bring in hunters for the job? Why are they avoiding questions about it? Whatever is the case, it seems the long arm of the law is reaching for whatever lurks inside those dark depths...
