BEWARE!
Strange, whispered warnings have been filtering in from the east.  Vague 
and foreboding messages are emerging from the scholarly academies of 
Yuriqen and from the Lorekeeper Council of Elders in Nantu. We fear 
something horrible may be on its way. Be alert for anything unusual and 
prepared for unexpected danger... Beware!
