Whoa, I just witnessed some kind of murder, possibly an insurrection.
When I had gone into the keep, I saw a corpse (which I assumed to be a vampire or something), very soon after when I started talking to the lord there, this ensued.
You: Greetings. My name is Kamloc Wadeclaw.
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Ah, hello. I'm Smoma Wiltedflung. This servant of dreams greets you.
You: How's life here?
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Well, let's see... we've got the army on the march, beasts, criminals, bandits and bone-chilling horror.
You: Tell me about the army on the march.
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: The army of Sino Soakedthinned is marching on Larkhelped!
You: Can you tell me the way to Larkhelped?
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Larkhelped is far to the north. [You receive a detailed description.] In the early spring of 237, the elf Rayali Dreambirds was struck down by the gloom hag Obi Twilightdusks the Sable Shade in Larkhelped.
You: How's life here?
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Well, let's see... we've got beasts, criminals, bandits and bone-chilling horror.
You: Tell me about the beasts.
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Our people have been tormented by a fearsome foe. Dungpuzzles is in The Prairie of Stroking. Seek this place if you hunt Purog Muckthunders the Confusing Mysteries the minotaur. This vile fiend has killed four in his lust for murder!
You: Can you tell me the way to Dungpuzzles?
first seer (to exalted wheel): Greetings Jathbi.
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Dungpuzzles is nearly a day's travel to the east. [You receive a detailed description.]
You: How's life here?
first seer (to exalted wheel): Particular outlaws have been causing us much hardship. They have a hamlet called Ancientseared somewhere in The Allied Hills.
The sacred bridge draws the iron slicing knife with her Left hand.
(This got my attention and I was like 'what did I do??', I didn't have weapons drawn either
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: Well, let's see... we've got beasts, criminals, bandits and bone-chilling horror.
sacred bridge (to first twilight): Hello. It is good to see you. Praise be to Doto.

The first twilight draws the copper boning knife with his Left hand.
You: Tell me about the beasts.
The sacred bridge pulls on the embedded iron slicing knife.
sacred bridge: I cannot just stand by. There is no need to feel vengeful.
The sacred bridge slashes The first twilight in the right upper arm with her iron slicing knife, bruising the muscle through the sheep leather cloak!
Smoma Nathobasna, lord is no longer enraged.
The lord has become enraged!
Smoma Nathobasna, lord: A creature of the night has our people cowering in fear. Fatedgraves the Urns of Dust is in The Prairie of Stroking. Seek this place if you hunt Ngotol Murkgrave the Shady Umbra of Skulls the creature of shadow. This vile fiend has killed five in his lust for murder!
(at this point, I'm realizing what's going on and I slowly back away)
The sacred bridge strikes at The first twilight but the shot is narrowly deflected by the copper boning knife!
sacred bridge (to first twilight): It is terrifying.
The sacred bridge strikes at The first twilight but the shot is deflected by the copper boning knife!
sacred bridge: In the midst of conflict... I laugh in the face of death!
The sacred bridge stabs The first twilight in the upper body from behind with her iron slicing knife, bruising the muscle, fracturing the left false ribs and bruising the liver through the sheep leather cloak!
The first twilight gives in to pain.
The sacred bridge slashes The first twilight in the head from behind with her iron slicing knife, tearing apart the muscle, fracturing the skull through the hemp plant fiber hood!

I don't know WHAT is going on, but this interaction is awesome in terms of the world being alive.
Edit: After that, she continued killing two more of the nobles there who were too scared to fight back, the other two still in this room in the keep are scared shitless. Meanwhile, I dropped some of my stuff since I was burdended down, just in case she decided to attack me, kept my weapons sheathed though......
I would LOVE for there to be a conversation option to ask what the hell is going on.
