Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
_A large group of guards were seen entering the coppers. Soon after, a fight seemingly broke out. For a good while, the fight continued until all was quiet again. A few moments after, the Umberlant priestess known as Jack was seen to have been carrying a corpse from outside the coppers. Some may recognize the body as Jay, the Sails brute.
She headed to the warehouse with the corpse… eventually leaving the warehouse some time later, alone._
-
_Rumor states that a "Battle of the Bards" of sorts happened in the Coppers the other night. The greatest audience reaction seemed to come from a red-haired fellow in black and blue-green plate and a Peacekeeper cloak draped across his shoulders. The rumors say that he wasn't even a bard, but the story was so action-packed that it demanded attention. He even was seen to show off a magical bow that was brought back from the hells themselves.
Those asking around would also hear that the attractive man is looking for a date to a party of some sort within the month._
-
_The rumors say that many allies were found by Oscura to destroy the Duergar army. Kuo-Toa, Minotours, and Ettins all fought against the Duergar. It is said the diplomacy was handled by none other than Vladimir Kursk, who smoothed out relations just enough to bring them to the aid of Oscura. Then on the field of battle he lead the attack against the Duergar lines, breaking through defenses, and inspiring the monsters to follow.
It seems the Nobel is coming into his own and the field of battle, and in less simple matters.
He returned to Oscura with a mighty crown sitting atop his head, victorious._

*News spreads around like wildfire about Duerger.
Due to Norwick irritating the drow, the duerger have become overl confident apprently.
A group of Oscurans and surafcers were teleported out of Oscura during the happenings, strange as the gaurds were trying to fortify the west gate as strongly as possiable.
Returning an hour or two later.
Then a group, fronted by Vladimir Kursk were seen getting ready for war as they pased through the westgate towards the duerger.
Rumours say that after an epic fight, where Oscuran, Kuo Tuo, Ettin and Minotaur kind all joined forces agasint the dark dwarf Foe.*

@08f2764e8e=Celtic8824:
A redhaired man in darkened plate and blades strapped to his hips was seen entering the monastery. He hasn't left yet.
About a month after entering the monastery, the redhaired man is seen emerging once more. He seems to have a disciplined style to his step, and he seems to swagger even more than before.
-
Vladimir seems to have not been seen in public for almost a week, was finally seen retuning to the coppers, smileing plessently and sitting chatting to others over a glass of wine. Whatever had made him retreat for awhile is apprently over, or if not, he is no longer worried about ebing back in public
-
A man clad in heavy armor was seen being admitted into the monastery not long ago. Those who saw the ordeal noticed he was stripped of his magical weapons and handed a wooden sparing sword.

-
New begins to circulate throughout Oscura that Ferdinand Locke has proposed to Ahmose Hetempet Sakhmet and she has accepted. The couple was last seen entering their respective estates to tell their families. This marks the second Locke male to be getting married this year.
-
Rumors of Ferdinand spending many hours within the Oscuran Library spread to those who frequent the place. Often a large stack of Tomes lie on a table in-front of him as he busily reads through obviously searching for something.
-
*A rumour on the coppers says that lens new bruises came form the half orc Grak, yet word is that the orc blood suffered far worse injuries
Shortly after this, a large trip was held down in the udnerdark, lasting almsot a day. Apprently the Sleeping Cat trading company were found dealing with the duerger, yet the duerger were having drow trouble. Preumsably the group sorted it out as Thoth II Sakhemt returend to oscua with many more slaves*
-
Rumor has it the Tribune Drelan Ashire rang Vlad's bell a few times in the bodak.. and he may have liked it.. or was at least appreciative of it.
-
Any rumours of Drow living in Oscura are practically laughed off by citizens and officials alike. Other rumours within Oscura state that the rumourmongers about Drow were started by bored surfacers who have nothing better to do.
-
A heavily armoured elf was seen leaving Oscura accompanied by a slave carrying a greater sized backpack. If the elf ever lived in this city he had most likely packed all of his belongings with him. Eléndel stopped for a moment by the western gate, to the looks of it he appeared to have a short sentimental moment there, before he continued only to vanish in to the darkness.
-
Later on, Ekmen Kyzanos can be seen having a stout in Coppers with minotaur tail tied around him as a belt
-
A minotaur was dragged into oscura lately, seems like quite the beast was felled by a group of Oscurans for an old man.
-
In the deep, dank caverns past Oscura's gates however, things are a good deal less peaceful. After having swaggered out in high spirits, a party of Black Sails comes running - and in some cases limping - back to the west gate, immediately urging the guards to lock up behind them. Peacekeeper captain Senria orders heavy reinforcements to the same gate, and a tense wait begins. Rumour would have it a veritable army of duergar is the cause of concern, though others speak of caged beasts on the loose.
-
_The Black Lotus no longer fighting amongst eachother, and Baltahzar being recognised as the official leader has done much to calm the streets of the city.
Added onto this is the collapse of the major feud between the Komnenos and the Kursk families with the disappearance of Antigonos, and the Norwickian trade ship arriving in the docks, it seems Oscura and it's people can go about their peaceful lives as per usual… for now._
-
even the peacekeeper Captain can be seen showing up at the docks to marvel at the uncanny sight, some say even sharing a drink with dwin!
-
_A Norwick cargo ship, for the first time that anyone can remember, approaches the Oscuran docks and asks for permission to dock in a slip from the Harbormaster.
Sitting on the bow is none other than the Chancellor of Norwick, with an ale bottle in one hand as he greets any Oscurans within hearing range._
Rawlins-Lumber! Norwick-Grains! Dried vegetables and beef!
Tell that Drelan Ashire to get his arse down here to the docks so we can properly celebrate the first successful Oscura-Norwick shipping route!
