To all who read this message, greetings:
I have just returned from a survey of the regions of Oflovaks Oasis and Frahar Towers in the Desert. I intended simply to assign the species of white kitins in the pods that are roaming in the desert. Instead, I found that there were far more pods than I had thought! I have added at least four to the already large number in Desert.
I have marked on the maps shown here all the white kitin pods and their species in the Desert according to my observations and the codes I have devised which are given directly below the maps. Two sites previously recorded as having white kitins appeared to be empty during my survey. They are marked with a "?" within the circle.
Wilk Potskin has asked all Ranger aspirants to survey the species of the aggressive white kitins that appear to be multiplying and threatening the lands closer and closer to the capitol cities. I ask that all homins do this. Ranger aspirants are few. Loyal citizens and subjects of the various lands are many.
There are four lands. Take copies of my maps, mark them up with your observations and mail them to me for recording on the walls of the stables. Do not assume that the populations and species are stable! There are reports that the species change from time to time. Do NOT assume that the marked pods are all there are; they seem to be on the increase.
And if you have the strength and will, once you have observed the kitins ... kill them.
By my hand,
Mac'Od Bittty, Ranger Aspirant
