"Sky Serpent Spotted Over Badlands Mountains!"
an emergency broadcast from Badlands Public Radio by Saxa Yarn
This is Saxa Yarn, reporting in from Claiborne with news on the giant sky-serpent. For those of you just tuning in, a giant snake-head was spotted by rescue teams in the former Hegua River area rising out of the cloud layer. Once it cleared the continent, it shot out over the mountains towards Kropmork. Current reports place the sky-serpent's head between the Rahki River and Garrettstown and still moving northwest.
However, troubling news has come in from Kropmork. Eyewitnesses spotted an equally enormous snake tail emerging from the skies off the northern edge of the Badlands Mountains. The sky-serpent appears to be wrapped around the continent. Wildlife experts are still baffled by its appearance, insisting that a snake this large is impossible. Is this a magical construct, or has it emerged from old legends of sky-serpents hunting ships in deep skies? What is it doing? Will it harm us? Should we harm it first?
The leaders of all countries are debating what to do. An emergency session of Parliament has been called, but there's been no solid word on communications between the mayors of Vohemar. Joseph Falls and the B.U.M. have not issued a statement, either.
[Similar emergency broadcasts are being made over most news-based radio stations across the continent, as well as posts on journals from both news networks and ordinary people who saw the serpent. Anyone perusing them will be able to glean that the creature is a snake fifty feet wide and hundreds of miles long and is currently wrapping itself around the continent.]
