Tavern Rumors of Peltarch

Ceremony:
Preparations start at the Temple of the Triad for the knighting ceremony of Talindra Veranos. Squires and helpers can be seem running up and down the streets of the Jewel making the final arrangements for it.
The feasthall is also a busy place, with decorators yelling all around the place. Cookers also look agitated, all looking for a particular dwarf. Shouts are heard while everyone there waits for a non-arriving ale order.
And, for some reason, in the market everyone is asking the same question:
"Got any peach?"
((knighting ceremony this Saturday, around 13:30, east. everyone is welcome to join!))

Entering the city from the west gates, Ashena, Talindra and Shallyah trudge slowly through the Commerce district, the unpleasant scent of sewer, undeath and a peculiar heavy incense clinging to each. Two dead are carried with them, and a frightened looking woman in tattered robes follow at their heels.
Afterwards, rumour spreads of a sinister cult targetting priests of good faith for their dark rites, Ashena herself giving warning to priests and priestesses to not travel alone.

After a minor earthquake, guards were seen rushing about the city. The story goes that orcs secretly tunneled under Peltarch and tried to syphon out ale from the brewery to throw some sort of grand ritualistic murder-party. Mott the local brewer has several claims to make, and also appears to have a new best selling ale out of the ordeal.
"I dun punched three, nay, ten, nay, twenny orcs! Aye, yap, was all me - well maybe a fewa dem guards helped out. Anyhows, whens we got ter the big bugbear at the end - yuh there was a big bugbear at the end - I dun ripped out his heart with me bare hand. The last thing 'e said waz "Mooiiihhhrrrooo" an' so I was inspired te make a magnificent blend that I dun called "Maero's Blood Brew". It be true!"
Others say it appeared, as usual, to be a band of adventurers who saved the day.

_For those involved in the more "charitable" or "religious" circles, word goes around that the Orphanage at the Lighthouse Temple is expanding to take on more children, thanks to many generous donations from adventurers. Most of the Sisters involved in the work can be seen smiling as they go about their work, wearing their white dresses and outfits, but from time to time, some are seen wearing red and black. What does this mean?
Those in almost any other circle would have heard the rumours going around about a flaming horse than ran through the streets of Peltarch, its hooves leaving behind smoke and fire as it went._

A gruesome topic of conversation could be overheard at the Peltarch commons recently, as the red-clad Defender Shallyah, Magistrate D'Arneau and the Order's First Swordarm, Ashena Teroldys, spoke of ghoul fever, undead orcs, Yuan-ti and Drow, in both past tense and present.
-
Only a couple days prior, Cecil of Norwick was seen in the Peltarch commons, apparently taking a survey of sorts, asking what people would like to see changed in Norwick.
He seems to be trying to right past wrongs, and fix alliances and friendships.
Is he chasing a lost cause, or making progress?

@9957b86392=Vashpsycho:
Another productive day on the Peltarch docks. Sailors unloading crates and setting sail in the cold northern breeze. The streets bustling with craftsmen selling their wares and petty thieves cutting purses of the less perceptive shoppers. Guards tooting horns and breaking up drunken brawls that carried on from the night before, while street musicians show off their talents to make a few copper for a place to stay when the night comes again. Beggars hold their hands out from dark alleyways, orphans swoop at scraps like seagulls. The mad men, they rave.
"F-first the bad. Then the good. All doomed, d-doomed! Too late to repent now. Tainted and marked. Tainted and marked. All of you black souled fools! Its coming. Its coming and you'll leap right into its a-arms before it twists you from the inside. Twists you from the inside!"
The crazed rants of mad men are lost in the bustle of the docks, northern winds won't carry them.
- Jason is seen spending some time offering the orphans food and some minor coin where he can and trying to sooth the mad men with calm reassuring words of Ilmater. *
