The Hollow at Breck's Boundary

Ground opened up on my stake four nights past—hole big as a wagon, right in the middle of the north pasture. Something lives down there now. I hear clicking after dark, and my herd dog won't come out from under the porch. Lost two sheep to whatever it is. I can't fight what I can't see. Need steel and nerve. —Edric Breck, Boundary Stake 7

Low Risk coast

The Teeth at Grahl's Smoke

Two of my crew gone in a fortnight — dragged off the rocks after dark, nothing left but blood and bootprints going the wrong way. The fish are running and I can't shut down. I need hands who can kill whatever's hunting my people before I lose the rest of them.

The Lights at Kern's Weir

My boy Hallek went into the deep marsh three nights back, chasing what he swore was a lantern. Hasn't come home. The eel run's on and we can't leave the weir, but I can't go looking either — not into that part of the marsh. Not at night. Someone has to go where I won't. Please.

The Silent Pack at Kessler's Post

Need hands at Kessler's waystation, two days out on the drove road. Something's been taking cattle after dark — three head gone in five nights, and my man Lorn hasn't come back from checking the east pens. We're bonded to hold this herd for the Freehold drive. Can't walk. Won't walk. Paying fair for whatever's hunting us to stop hunting. —Tamsin Kessler

The Tide-Haunts at Brennan's Salt

Three workers dead in as many weeks. Something's denned up in the sea caves by our salt pans—comes at low tide, fast as anything I've seen. Can't work the flats, can't make our contracted weight. Need this dealt with before we lose everything we've put into this claim. —Cora Brennan, Brennan's Salt

Pale Shapes on Sutter's Ridge

Three head of cattle dead this week—throats opened, meat left to spoil. My boy saw them at twilight: pale things, dog-shaped but not quite there. Can't drive what's left of the herd anywhere safe before we lose it all. Three hundred gold to whoever puts them in the ground for good. —Colm Sutter, Ridgeland Grant

The Burrows at Hallen's Claim

Lost three head this week. Something's taking them from below — ground opens up, beast goes down, hole fills back in like it never happened. I've worked this claim for two years and never seen anything like it. Need contractors who can handle whatever's digging under my land before there's nothing left to graze. — W. Hallen, drover, Hallen's Claim
