    ((this is what Unen spends part of his time doing whilst im offline, if you have the points in learn language and wish to have an RP path to learn it, if you want to RP any of it get in touch))


  • A group of adventurers led by Lorelai, wife of Jerrick, and their daughter Leena left by boat to sail across the Icelace.

    Days later, a burst of divine magic swept the land, ending the sudden winter and bringing back warmer weather. The adventurers returned, looking both victorious and somber, but short one member. Lorelai did not return with them.


  • Rumour has it that a right-sized townsfolk became extremely agitated when a local elven blade merchant refused to even show her his wares, saying that she was "too short to appreciate them". Words became bandied about such as "boycott" and "protest" as well as "discrimination" before she exited the store in quite a state.


  • An angel was seen in the commons wrestling with city officials and adventurers. Wild conjecture abounds that Cecil captured a winged woman and was trying to haul her off for a tryst.


  • Tales of a "bone wyvern" in the swamps permeate from the Mermaid.

  • The Halfling Defence League

    Word on the street is that a strike force assembled by Peltarch Far Scouts and led, for some incomprehensible reason, by Roslyn Underhill, managed to successfully execute a surprise attack on the Smugglers' Cove. According to reports from the scene, the cove had been repurposed by the kobolds who'd been carrying out bombings within the city, and was turned into a bomb-making workshop.

    Descriptions of the items contained within suggests a large-scale plan to lay siege to the city - and worse yet, that the whole operation was being overseen by yuan-ti which, it's said, our brave strike force confronted and killed.

    What's more, there's rumors that they pushed the attack further, and found a veritable army of Yuan-ti, Lizardfolk, and Kobolds through a portal of some kind, all of which have been successfully neutralized.


  • Word goes around the Jewel that Val Kyrie, Herald of the Red Knight, is looking for a young adventurer who is willing to be shaped and molded into a living weapon, and that if anyone would be so bold, that they should seek her out at the Bardic College.

    ((OOC: I'm looking for someone who is willing to start a new character, willing to spend time IC with me, and willing to work towards a specific goal. If interested, PM me.))

  • I
    Council of Moradin

    Leroy Jenkins, a local adventurer, lately has shown some interest in the most rich and powerful families of The Jewel. He is constantly trying to learn more about them and specially if any has a young son learning the arts of combat and war.

    If possible, he spends a few days near the place where folks practice in the hopes of finding someone like that. To anyone that asks, he is very clear about his intent:

    • Yeah, I am trying to find a buyer for a good full plate I recently acquired. Maybe some worried or proud father would like to gift one to his son. And I also have a -very- special something that would require a - very - rich person to buy.

  • A quiet word is passed around through the bars and halls and commons, whispered directly to individuals scattered through the city. Possible overheard snatches of words containing kobold, attacks, explosions and one bit at the end ….It is time....

    (For those contacted in game something will be posted in help wanted to try and organize a time))


  • Late one night at the Mermaid, the Elven cleric Raryldor is said to have summoned a baby from thin air and given it away to a dark-haired human woman. She and the child have remained indoors at the inn. The woman's vast assortment of weapons mark her as an adventurer, though one who has not made a name for herself. Some gossips insist the baby is eerily silent.


  • As the rumors of a wolf or man in the snowfall reach Lorelai, she is soon to search the areas where people mention seeing the sight. Her face is full of determination and worry as she searches, perhaps sadness too?


  • Supposedly, in one of the weird snowy days at the docks, somebody, or a couple somebodys, saw a shape in the snow of a man, or a wolf, or both?

    In all stories, one thing is shared.

    It seemed to be searching for something, before disappearing.


  • Sailors lately complain about the harsh weather conditions and odd storms and squalls that have been occurring over the lake.


  • _Rumours spread about savage barbarian tribesmen, attacking anyone travelling down the Pass with lethal intent. A shaken apple merchant relates how he and his trading partners were set upon by the murderous brutes, leaving him the sole survivor. Speculations of ties to the dragon's return may well circulate. Has the old pact been reborn?

    Meanwhile, the kobold menace continues, though for now the scaled vandals have reportedly been stopped short of entering the city. Vigilant Far Scouts and Ceruleans can be seen bolstering Guard and Defender presence, with several bloody skirmishes happening just outside the city._


  • A strange old elf performs puppet shows for orphans and small children at the docks….


  • " Repent! Run! Pray to your gods! The Queen of Narfell returns! "

    Local taverns are filled with laughs, snickers and worried faces as the rumor spreads after a grand fire erupted by the Nars bridge and a huge shadow crossed the land. Rumor has it there's likely to be a hoard of treasure in the Old Encampment, guarded by a hoard of dragons!


  • Local gossips, especially those who loiter around or about the Magistracy's Courts, whisper about the latest motion that has been filed to the Court of Shannon D'Arneau. The motion, signed by one Quince Harkreath, as legal counsel representing Chaevre Vaelen, apparently asks for amnesty: the clearing of all criminal charges and the restoration of her citizenship. The local gossips eagerly await the Court's official response.

  • Rumor has it… the ranger Aramis Card has been seen visiting The Edge on several occasions..... and work starting on the remodeling of a room......


  • _The kobold shenanigans appear to have escalated. Wild rumours speak of the scaly little monsters sneaking into the very heart of the city with nefarious intent, blowing up first the sundial, then setting off several fiery explosives within the Mermaid inn.

    Ceruleans and Far Scouts were amongst the first on the smouldering scene, aided by adventurers, as panicked waitresses and patrons rushed out of the building. Though the miscreants were by all accounts slain and the fires put out, what drove them to these suicidal acts of terror is a matter of much speculation.

    Meanwhile, on a brighter note, offical word spreads from city headquarters that the horrific tainted drinks - most recently responsible for transforming a partygoer at the Sharessan masquerade into a ghoul - have been dealt with. The brewery of the ghoulish beverages was hit and a powerful mage slain by a large party including city employees and many adventurers of note. A cure for those that may still be afflicted has been aquired, and spread to the city's two temples through the Cerulean Knights._


  • Alvi… noticed a cow carcass toward the kobold entrance... and was attacked by some kobold hooligan... was his mistake....
