Jiyyd Rumors
-
_A hue and cry is raised in the middle of the night as an adventurer in the swamps returns with a tale of dark dwarves seen moving through the fetid mist.
A band of warriors, clerics, scouts, and a mage is gathered, and head into the mire warily.
For some hours nothing is heard, and then the grim-faced band return, bearing the body of their hin scout with them. Their armor and clothes are blackened and scorched as if by smoke and lightning, and a distinct reek of burned troll still attaches to them.
They proceed to Vroka's and vanish within. Later, the gaunt, fell visage of the knight Kim can be seen speaking to Just'ene. Those close enough to overhear say she spoke of a battle with a dark cleric of the Duergar, and something about 'many trolls'._

Helmite soldiers are seen all through the day and night scouring out the town and the Valley. Rumor has it that they are looking for any trail of a sighted Drow within the town's proper.
-
The astute might notice that Keira has been talking to Braeth, Lady Shane and any others regarding Drow-related issues since they appeared on the road threatening harm. The old tale of how Lady Rith sacrificed herself to the drow to save others and the subsequent heroic rescue still has relevance to the orb and weave situation of today.
She's interested in contacting any who speak Drow or have experience of dealing with them maybe with a view to translating messages or questioning captives.
-
Rummors spread of the one many might consider the town loon has not been seen or heard from in quite some time, not since the last festival in Norwick with magic duals came to a halt due to sever wild magic.
-
The latest buzz around the Silver Valley is about the upcoming festival. Rumour has it that Juster, Gonnar and Ginger have planned a scavenger hunt and archery contest for the event. Everyone is welcome to participate.
((Event is scheduled for next Saturday. Start time TBA.))
-
_Aelthas was seen entering town from the east, a body in his arms, covered by a cloak. He headed straight to the sisterhood house and was seen digging a grave.
After some prayers for the dead person, he was seen in town again, his face a mixture of sadness and anger. For the next few days, he is more quiet than usual, simply nodding to people and offering very few words._
-
The next morning, Kara is seen to be entering the town and taking her post on the tower for the morning guard shift. Passers by will note that she has collected quite a number of claw marks along her arms, although the worst appear to have been healed. Rumours talk of a Lioness yesterday and that the militia are keeping an eye on the situation closely.
-
Recently townsfolk can hear a lion's roar echoing in the dead of night sometimes…though only a few claim to have actually seen the beast in question...
-
Over the past week, Jiyyd was visited by a party of drow, who came to deliver a threat to somebody who had killed one of their number never to return to their gates unless he wished to die, and by a formidable-looking undead knight from Mintas, who warned that anyone trespassing in the ruined city would die. Anybody who planned to visit the drow city or Mintas Rhelgor to shop at the market and admire the architecture should take note.
-
Juster wonders where is friend Eridith went, along with her trouble making blue friend.
-
The familiar face of a yound elven lass who seemed to spend the great majority of her time in Jiyyd is now gone, as is the annoying blue creature that followed her.
-
Lope mutters, "I thought they'd banned the open worship of evil gods in Jiyyd? My mistake, I guess."
-Lagermane
-
A man with an expressionless visage and reddish skin was seen blessing hunters in Jiyyd proper. He was heard calling upon a god of the hunt, and of slaughter, and his prayers involved minor but startling blood sacrifice.
-
_Rumor spreads that Jiyyd is the second largest rumormill in the lands of Narfell, surpassed only by the great city of Peltarch. It is commonly agreed however, that considering the difference in population between the mighty Jewel of the Icelace, and the humble Commonwealth, Jiyyd is currently the center of Narfell's latest news. It is a title well agreed upon by the commoners, who have always prided their concerns for the world around them.
A new rumor quickly spreads thereafter that Maria Otarch has ordered a new dress in Peltarch, and that this would surely be a cause of disagreement between herself and Anadra Dy'nesencia , proprietor of the Wayfarer's Garb. It is said that Saline, the servant who tends at Lens's home, would know more on this, and further whispers quickly spread about an incident involving afternoon tea and salt.
As well, one of the farmers who usually tends fields outside of the walls, is seen making a mad dash out of the Regal Whore, followed up to the gates by a madly screaming Myrie, waving a pan high above her head. The cook is said to have been thrown in a fit of rage for complaints about the lack of meat in her stews, shouting that "the next time it'll be yer bones in me dish!"_
-
One or two farmers close to the town center are seen complaining in the Regal Whore about an outgrowth of blight upon some of their crops. As for the Regal Whore itself, little besides soup is being served, as the meat they had in storage had "grown a bit fuzzy on the edges" says a whistful owner.
A couple patches of grass have turned sickly yellow and died behind the benches, and then leading in a direct line to the western gate.
-
Word spreads along the crafter's grapevine that Dentin is looking to hire a non-union miner…
-
Stange rumors speak of a cow that was dead yet walking right towards some adventurers at the cookpot. There's some talk of the cow exploding and spraying gore over all those in the area. Later it seems, the remains of the cow were burned.
-
General Grag is seen by many with a smile on his face walking Milshot chancelor of Norwick and Lucidius out to the edge of Jiyyd jurisdiction milshot seemed to be in a good mood as well..
-
Early the next morning, Kara is seen entering the west gates with polished and neatly attired armour as she approaches and disappears into the Council building for a time to speak with Just'ene. Sometime later, she is seen to be leaving the council building with a satisfied expression.
-
Fetishes hanging from his armor (that looks like it was once the shell of some giant insect) the Featherflight shaman stepped through the missing gates of the town and took one look about. He was flanked by three cold eyed tracker who examined the grounds of the oft travelledroad before tunring back out to the long road. One of them spoke softly to the shaman, shaking his head and pointing to the ground. Even with the early morning lighting a few people had passed by. The shaman frowns and follows his hunters not saying a word to any of the guards but looking ready to strike in any direction.
