BEACON ISLAND - On Tuesday, three members of Arcadia (ARC) launched an attack against Beacon Island, killing one resident in the process. According to witnesses, Jerosh, one of the three founders of the Island, was killed while building the public harbour along shore. He welcomed the three villains, unaware of their intentions, then was brutally slaughtered by them. Reports show that they robbed the corpse of lumber, torches, and stone.

Saint Chad, another of the founders, was building a barn on nearby Isle Sanctorius when he heard the struggle and witnessed the brutality. Correctly assuming that the three would next target him, he quickly fled to his house, locking all the doors behind him. He told this reporter, "I simply waited inside until they grew tired and left."

"Unlike every other town, Beacon Island is not a part of any faction," stated the Saint. "While this makes us a target for the factions now, eventually having a neutral town for trade and vacations will be beneficial to all people of Aurora."

Arcadia (ARC) has been actively raiding and pillaging both aligned and neutral citizens of Aurora for the last week. Many see this action as being detrimental to the development of any other organization or settlement outside of Arcadia control. A growing resentment of the attacks is causing some to reconsider their residency in Aurora. Only time will tell what the actions of Arcadia will bring.
