  Juniper had been feeling nauseous the past couple days, and thought nothing of it. The nausea did grow worse each day, until it began to feel all too familiar to her. To confirm her suspicions, she went to see the Selunite. clergy at the Lighthouse Temple. Suspicions confirmed, she returned tot he Opportunity, and in the Captain's Quarters, she left one of the twins' old baby booties on the Captain's pillows.

  The Year of Doubt comes to its end. Courtiers, nobles, and guild officials consider the year's events: King Thalaman's ability to credibly govern has been cast in serious doubt among the elite. The King appears more interested in luxury and leisure than he is in governing the city. At the same time, the thriftless King's spending on lavish parties has gained him considerable popularity among the commonfolk. The King's formerly favored consort, Lillian Aster, has been cast aside for other prettier noblewomen. Incidentally, the King's position regarding High Hold has become more aggressive, and he now talks of restoring Peltarch's lost territories. Excepting all matters that might affect war or the King's leisurely parties, the King simply adheres to whatever the Royal Council recommends. The King's complacence has let the Royal Council become the nexus of life at City Hall, and the entity at which most final decisions are made. Karg Hooktusk, former Royal Counsellor and Black Sails, has been missing and no one is looking for him. Deacon Sterr has returned, to lead the Black Sails and to take Hooktusk's place on the Royal Council. The King received a gift from Lucy Rhodes, a divination shard which revealed Reyhenna Jorino defrauded her way into the royal family by masquerading as Princess Elizabeth Fisher. The Princess is real, but Jorino is not her. This was confirmed by Siamorphan High Priestess Temperance of Gulderhorn. The real Princess' location is anyone's guess. The King subsequently exiled Jorino from the royal family. Adrian Fisher, son to Damian Fisher, and brother to Elizabeth Fisher, disagrees with the King's exile of Reyhenna Jorino. This has caused a rift between two royal factions: on the one hand, King Thalaman and his brother Kasimir Fisher, who exiled Reyhenna or agree with the exile. On the other hand, Adrian Fisher and former Queen Martha Fisher, who disagree. Adventurers have slain Lucy Rhodes. Rhodes was the leader of the Nars bandits and mercenaries exacting tolls, pillaging small towns, and enslaving villagers. She was slain by an adventuring raid. The majority of Rhodes' forces are either dead or gone. Remaining bandits have been scattered. Arch Weyland died in the raid against Lucy Rhodes. What this means for the Autonomists and for Berlinne Toews is for now unclear. Leslie Fim, allegedly the true force behind the Nars bandits and their re-organization, is nowhere to be found. Thus ends the Year of Doubt. Only time will tell what awaits Peltarch in the next. [DM Xanatos Gambit]

  "I likely do not need to do this, but I should remind everyone that despite Fim giving Rhodes free reign, we should be mindful of his interference. I doubt he will come to save her, but he likes stirring things up. Be mindful of Rhodes' men singing unnerving songs or those who wear rusted rings."

  From Ravos's recent movement for those who are watching carefully, it perhaps seems like he's organising a complex trade caravan guard deployment or he seems to be organising a new herd of cattle in the Tiller estate. With a huge length of time and resources devoted to the repairs of the city walls along with some master craftsmen agreeing to assist simply through their love of the city and the crown it appears Ravos has a long list of associates and friends to bring to the attention of Cobin Daedalus and the King. Perhaps some may have said he hasn't spent long enough at home considering the arrival of his daughter with his wife Lady Varya Tiller, but it now appears that his son Valdabrin is fast becoming an able young man in the saddle under the rather surprising tutelage of Ravos considering the man is never seen mounted himself. After a large delivery of what appears like hefty bound tratises arrives he's seen in fine spirits, and has visited the Temple of Tyr, the courthouse, Seafarer and Wavebreaker offices as well as keeping his occassional appointment with Langley, the cities' master of languages. Observers would note he has been handing out what appears perhaps to be a very similar volume to each of them. Rumor also speaks that a copy may have arrived in the hands of the king or his brother.

  //OOC note: unfortunately the setup I made for the Balor and Bebilith were wiped by an unplanned server reset that happened while I was sleeping, so I couldn't save it. I'll note the effort made in finding these spots when I hand out the plot finale rewards towards the weekend!

  On the occasions that Marty emerges from the plague stricken residential district to busk and raise coin for potions, she is not dressed in her usual druidic robes. Instead she is donned in armour which has been embossed with runes warding against chaos and evil. She also Jingles with other charms, talismans and trinkets bearing similar wards. Even her boots are trimmed with protective runes. Her standard performance is the Mountain Song, a folk hymn sung in honour of Jerrick Rayfe who is now the Guardian of the Balance, his spirit united with the sacred mountain. This song is sometimes followed by a sad Hin lullaby.

  Royal criers ring their bells and proclaim: "Hear ye hear ye, King Thalaman, son of George, doth hereby proclaim: The City of High Hold is no longer struck from the trades routes register, Those officials and denizens of High Hold and Blackridge are no longer banned from entry into Peltarch, Channels of communication, including courier, are to be re-opened between the two cities, Citizens of the Jewel rendering aide to High Hold shall face no charges, And this, by the King Thalaman's decree. Hear ye, hear ye!" [DM Xanatos Gambit]

  [[Bon Ausbourn, a silver haired halforc bard, takes up a position on the marketplace stage and sings the following song while strumming a yearling. ]] ((sung to the tune of Bound for Botany Bay )) Ohhh … there once was a lady some comely, Who knew a good handsome man well. Together they saved for their wedding day, And in Peltarch mar-ket place they’d sell … Chorus Ohhh… come by my wares sir for a copper, Come purchase my produce for coin. Come partner with me for prosperity Both increasing as our funds join. So soon did their toil bring pros-perity And ex-pand to buy stock afar... To High Hold did groom travel o-o-ften To bring back rich wares in his cart. Chorus The dark clouds of war started brew-ew-ing. And unwed the man was then seized. Draf-ted into the kings ser-e-vice. To fight to keep fair Pel-tarch free … Chorus Oh the bride was told news oh so dire... That her be-trothed man had been slain. Not enough of him left for a coffin. Never in a tomb to be lain. (Chorus - slower and sadder) Ohhh… come by my wares sir for a copper, Come purchase my produce for coin. Come partner with me for prosperity Both increasing as our funds join.

  Ravos, being preoccupied with work both inside and outside the city walls only hears of Autumn's departure an hour or so after the caravan leaves. Recalling his own trip from the west to this place, he raises his drink with a few Peltarch marines later that evening offering his wishes for safe travels wondering if she will get as far as the Sword Coast. After leaving, reflecting on it; he's perhaps saddened by her departure and always recalls with a smile referring to her as captain even when she was no longer...
