Lundar's Library

Day 177, Year 547 of the Ascendancy

Today I stepped out of the library to find myself in the midst of a
Myrm Invasion. Giant myrms terrorized all parts of our fair town, from
the northern farms to the southern gate.

This, I later learned, was only the conclusion to
a lengthy myrm invasion which began hours before I first stepped out of
the library. According to Farhope, who witnessed the invasion from the
start, the attack began when a small tunnel opened up to the south-east
of town center.

From out of the tunnel poured forth progressively
powerful myrms, first Warriors, then Nobles, then Royals and Fire
Myrms, while the Myrmtarr
taunted exiles over the sunstone. After a firece battle in town, the
exiles stormed the Hive, and fought another massive battle in the Queen
Chamber.

The exiles then fought their way out of the Hive,
only to find that town had been invaded once again, under the command
of the Myrm Empress.

The myrm forces in town were comprised of the
firey Fire Myrms and the vicious Irritated Myrms. The myrms were led by
a powerful Myrm Empress, which felled most exiles with a single blow
from its powerful mandibles.

It took nearly two hours to bring down the Myrm
Empress, and it took several more hours to rid the town of all of the
myrm forces. The last I heard, there were still Fire Myrms and
Irritated Myrms fiercely guarding the Hive.

All in all, it was quite a fierce and exciting
invasion, and it makes me wonder what could have instigated the myrm’s
attack against Puddleby. Possibly the invasion was in response to
Undrus’ construction of the tunnels under Puddleby, which are almost
nearing construction.

Whatever their reasons, the myrm have clearly proven today that they are still a dangerous foe to Puddleby.
