Trade Route and Surrounding Security

There has been a large amount of activity within the vicinity of Last Lantern, in order to secure the area to prepare for expanding our influence in the Marches, A Lantern Company member proposed that we set out on security sweep around Last Lantern, keeping an eye out for any potential threats to our continued growth and existence here, while making sure the natural environment and ecosystem isn't disturbed. This would double as a method of securing our trade routes to ensure we are able to get supplies.

With the development of new roads and other plans on the way, there is no point in building these up if the dangers are still nearby that can tear them all down. One example is the new Southern road:

Theo recounted that as he made his way towards town from the southern mountains that he had camped by the edge of the forest. When he woke up his tools, coin purse, rations and waterskin were all missing. After a search of the area he was not able to find any clues and suspects something or someone extra stealthy or silent is to blame. He left his anvil near the fire and assumed it was too heavy or not valued by the thief.

This is just one account that perhaps the dangers close to "home" still need addressing!
