Recently, hostile creatures have invaded the Nexus Worlds of the Basin.
Dark, serpentine creatures in LARGE numbers have been sighted in ALL
nexus worlds. These creatures, while weak on their own, attack in very
large groups and are capable of taking down even the most powerful of
us, sapping our health and taking it for their own. Not content to
simply invade the Nexus World, if left unchecked the creatures will head
for the opening into Prime and try to escape there, invading the city or
commune that the nexus. Novices and in fact EVERYONE are advised to not
enter the Nexus World unless you know it has recently been cleaned out,
or if you are in a group of people going in specifically to clean it
out. These are highly dangerous creatures.

For the rest of this news post, I'll be discussing events I have
witnessed that may hopefully shed some light on the current issues we
ALL face, and perhaps lead someone to the clues that will solve this
mystery.

I went to speak to Lord Japhiel about what has recently taken place, and
He was very interested. The creatures were alien to Him, but He felt
more information was needed. In fact, He wondered the same thing that
Archmage Marinus wondered: What happened prior to this invasion? We had
no answers to give Him. No one seems to be able to think of anything
strange that happened that could have been a prelude to this, with the
exception of the invasion of Crisixes in Dairuchi that happened a year
or two ago. Lord Japhiel posits that they are more than likely from
Aetherspace and that some sort of intelligence must be guiding them, be
it their own or something commanding them. Upon trying to greet them, I
was promply killed, so that rules out their own intelligence, I think.
When handed both live and dead creatures, they dissolved in His hand
into a seething mass of sparkling light.

Lord Japhiel has asked that we of the Basin share information together.
I will follow His wishes despite what some in my city may desire. Here
is what Jigan and I learned from Japhiel, and Creslin will soon follow
with what he and I learned from Archmage Marinus of the merians, who was
also very interested in what was happening with the nexus worlds. I have
shared this information with you. Please reciprocate, is all I ask. Let
us at least share information if we will not work together, to help
prevent any more deaths among our citizens from occuring.

Blessings in this time of darkness, Genevieve
