From: Epic of Aerth Addenda, by Gregg Timm.

Wildedge (pg. 180)

1017: A patrol of 50 militia, from Fort Guilliame MacHenri, has recently been decimated, probably by Iroukian natives. 2 of the patrol have been found, their severed and stapled heads mounted on pikes. Another 10 were found, stripped && flayed. The governor of the fort, Rory MacCumae, has put a reward out, for the recovery of the other missing 38.
