Dear Settlers,

Word has it in the settlement that a herd of cavalry horses escaped and rampaged through the villages on Friday night, neighing and distracting the Settlers from their work and relaxation for several hours.

Due to this, the military has left a few presents to make it up to the Settlers who were interrupted during this time!

Best,

Dear Settlers!

One of your settlers found out that a powerful witch was attempting to cast a terrible spell - one that would plunge all villages into an eternal darkness! The golems decided to thwart the witch's plan, sending several of their comrades to defeat her.

They succeeded, but some of them are still making their way back home. In order to celebrate their victory, you receive 50 Pumpkins!

Have a nice weekend and happy settling,
