Dawnbreak
-
_For whatever reason, Hammer suddenly seems to have a great deal more time to help Rith cleanse Jiyyd, yet seems to have to make due without his notable armor, wearing nothing but his clothes, his helmet and shield into demon-infested ruins without complaint or comment.
Curiously enough, those who regularly travel along with Rith would notice Hammer often stopping to scavenge an arrowhead, a slither of destroyed armor, a bone or more seemingly random, worthless objects. He seems to have nothing more to say about this aside from searching for "the fallen"._
-
_::Tenday after tendary the Dawnbringer and her allies have been systematically destroying any demons in Jiyyd, undisputedly. One would wonder why those creatures would even find appealing entering the material plane through Jiyyd anymore, having other choices that don't involve their immediate, merciless destruction.
The demons may return every new day, but so does the resolve and determination of these soldiers of the Light to make a dent in the demonic forces, and eventually see them forever banished from the land::_
-
Hammerhand often joins Rith in her regular patrols, though his own impact is far smaller than hers. Still, he does his best.
-
_::Rith has been seen lately putting even more emphasis on her campaign. While her activity had decayed a bit due to lack of progress, she must have had a recent event that relaunched and renewed her will.
She will be seen entering Jiyyd daily, mentioning to any nay-sayers that she knows that what she does may mean little reward to much risk and effort, but that she couldn't care less, as long as the "little reward" part of the equation keeps intact.
One could tell it's almost personal for her. And that she is willing to gather as many allies as possible to see Jiyyd restored, once and for all::_
-
::The Dawnbringer is seen coming out of her camp more often lately, as she probably seeks company to relieve the overwhelming and desolating darkness to which she is exposed on daily basis. However, her campaign keeps firm as she keeps entering Jiyyd at Dawn time to soothe the land in whatever ways she can, normally aided by some of her closest allies::
-
Kabul continues to investigate the recent events as he can.
He chooses a good place to hide at the Heroes Bluff and pays atention to every and anyone that passes there.He also tries to follow, from a safe distance, the priestess in some of her daily actions.
-
For a dozen days in the past weeks, Hammer has been moving around Jiyyd. Avoiding the demons where they go, and instead seeming to watch them from a distance, he keeps to himself and doesn't interfere in Rith's actions. But neither does he help her. For now, he seems to be observing the ebb and flow of the campaign.
-
::A few of the people that can be seen often at the hills near Jiyyd have been checking the several menhir formations within Jiyyd and to the southern plains. They didn't seem to have made any progress… yet::
-
The Kelemvorites mention that some helpful person they didn't really know knocked on their gate and warned them about what was happening.
-
The purple-haired druid elder's trips to gather supplies from Norwick and Peltarch are seen to be growing more and more frequent, and more and more expensive as well. Indeed, the healer's in Norwick, the Dwarven Hold, and the Peltarch markets all seem to be visited quite often by her, and she repeatedly mentions her purchases being intended for what she refers to as the "Reclamation Squad" outside of the ruins of Jiyyd.
-
After witnessing some of the events that happened at Jyyd, Kabul is seem asking the ferrymen who crossed the river before and after the skies turned red.
H also goes to the Temple of Kelemvor and asks the guards if they saw anyone passing by at that time.
-
_::Apparently, the devils won the night after another episode of the blood war. Rumours place the banite Quelcoth and another mysterious figure as the causers of the release of the fiends.
The warriors of good, gathered at the hills nearby have been seen battling lemures, flying horrors, hellhounds and kyton devils instead of the usual demon counterparts.
The alliance of mortal races keeps in the aid as more warriors have been seen coming into the area to aid. Rhyn, Ronan, Dietrick, Diadne, Vick or Louhetar amongst others have joined efforts to some of the previous warriors to see the devils banished.
Rith herself has been mentioning that soon will come the time to stop just waiting at the gates, and look for clues to actually make a diference, specially at key locations like the Menhirs nearby::_
-
_::A small gathering of warriors were present at the moment when the skies turned red and Hell and Abyss broke loose. Minor demons and devils by the hundreds were spotted battling each other. Both sides also had dozens of mid-ranked minions, and at least one Pit Fiend was spotted commanding the devils in the battlefield that the ruins of Jiyyd have become.
While the warriors attempted to investigate the events, the heavy outsider presence forced them to retreat to safety, to the hill where the Dawnbringer has been watching for weeks now::_
-
Despite all efforts, Jiyyd was once more erupted into a blood war with new portals being opened. How and why? No one seems too sure.
-
_A hooded man, clad in red and black armour and a dark cloak billowing behind him from the wind, with black-knotted markings trailing down his arms is seen making his way towards Jiyyd when word reaches him of this Dawnbringer. Revealing himself as Kayden, he stands atop the hill beside Rith, engaging in conversation before making for Jiyyd to do their part to rid the world of a few more demons.
He is seen making frequent visits out there since._
-
Z is spotted galloping swiftly towards Jiyyd.
-
_::The holy warrior of Lathander, who has already been identified as the Dawnbringer Rith Phoenixfeather, can be seen often keeping company of some of her allies, or simply passers-by that decide to reinforce her stalwart position atop the hills. Fadia, Belma'r, Grag, Z, Ael'que and Kayden amongst others could have been easily recognized.
During the night, she keeps watch atop the hills, and every Dawn, when the Morninglord is stronger in her, she and whatever allies she's with strike at any wandering demons within Jiyyd leaving no trace of them. The afternoons are spent resting and in meditation to regain a fresh body and mind when the new night arrives.
Rumours begin to grow about most demons fleeing at the mere sight of the Lathanderite priestess and her allies, some even willingly returning to their home planes to avoid holy retribution::_
-
Ael'Que is seeen riding the ferry to the Jiyyd side, muttering something about redemption.
-
Z is occasionally spotted by those in and around the area of Jiyyd. He offers his assistance, and then disappears into the woods when the deed is done.
-
_*Every so often, a certain purple-haired elf is seen making her way towards the camp on the hill, always staying for several days at a time, with only occasional breaks to sortie with the dawnbringer into what was once Jiyyd itself.
Often, she seems to be bearing packages of many different shapes and sizes, all of which are gone when she eventually leaves.*_
