Reports indicate that the Grand Guignol has completed the establishment of Sheol around Gluttony's Maw. Scouts bring backs news of red splotches of land with pools of fleshy substances gathered around the Runeoaks planted in the vicinity of the new settlement. A persistent feeling of unease washes over those within the area, no doubt indicative still of the Gluttony's Maw consuming the life nearby. Sheol's construction no doubt serves only to amplify this property of the fortress. As ever, the Grand Guignol seems to shift from levels of activity, though the silence that now stems from them may indicate yet another focus on their projects.

• Power continues to accumulate within Gluttony's Maw through Jormungandr's Stomach, the rate of which having rapidly increased with the establishment of Sheol and the trees nearby.
  
  
• A central Runeoak tree has be established within the castle itself, dubbed to be the Sheol's Tree. Scarlet crystals that are easily mistaken as lapis philosophorum can now be seen being carted outside of the Gluttony's Maw, to be used as unique power sources within Sheol itself.
  
  
• With newly established and clearly defined borders, the Grand Guignol and its territory now presents a stricter stance. Visitors and foreign dignitaries may still come if invited, advised first to pen a letter and reach out with their intentions.
  
  
• In other news, a sabbath has been rumored to be planned in the future. Though the when remains largely tenuous, likely will it be held around the Sheol's Tree to take advantage of the tree's conductive properties to hel energies.
  
  
• Despite attempts of diplomacy, Grand Guignol remains otherwise silent towards Deep Hold, now known as Skarnfel. A widely believed rumor within Grand Guignol is that the castle's lord has stated several lines complaining about the new name that started with back in my days. The current known stance is that of neutrality.
