::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Zyphlin has been seen sitting around the commons lately with a much darker expression on his face as if he is thinking deeply upon issues. His eyes tend to wander, peering off looking at something though generally it seems to be almost nothing. If he's ever addressed he generally snaps out of it, giving a smile and quickly talking the person in question into forgetting they had any worries in the first place. However the more astute observers can see something is out of place, so much so that his shadow seems to move strangely even when he is just simply sitting in a seat
-
Tamora La'Thayet has not been seen for some time. Her family has given up and assumed her dead, and bureid some of her belongings on a private family plot. They do not speak of the incident, except to say "She was such a sweet, sweet girl…why did she fall in with those dreadful adventurers?"
-
_A stranger makes his way through crowded streets drifting easily past the masses. Several guards report seeing the stranger in and near the docks district gathering around fires and whispering in ears but breaking no laws. He keeps a black heavy cloak pulled up tight, the hood covering his facial features and moves with noticeable grace. Most are not even sure if he is a man or elf.
Appearantly he looks for employment in the docks helping with the ships that may need an extra hand._
-
Elf Ting E'leftynen of the bardic college, (and for those more aquainted with peltarch's underworld, an important member of the Market) has gone suddenly missing. Now, this in itself is not horribly surprising as it seems to happen quite often, but this time she has not left any sort or trace of where she's going other than two drunk sailors laughing about the purple one in the barrel…
((keep up with ting's "vacation" in tales by the fire
))
-
Rumors have it the young girl known as Abiie appears more recently picking on most of the students who are in the temple classes with her, calling them low-lifes or scum. She often appears uncheerful and is out of her inn room most of the days and nights
-
::Zyphlin can be seen walking out of the town hall, a dark look on his face as he shakes his head::
I have a feeling that dark days are soon going to descend on the city. Why is it that the good senators always are the ones that fall…
::he slips into the shadows as he moves through the night and has not been seen outside the theater for some days::
-
After hearing the latest senatorial vacancy rumors, Evendur can be seen visiting the Peltarch city library for several hours longer than is his custom. When he emerges, his expression is pensive to the extreme. He mutters to himself.
"This could be either very beneficial or very harmful to the governance of the city. I suppose time will tell which…"
-
Rumors say that the Senate has checked the lawbooks for what has been done in the past on such an occasion, where Senators are slain so soon after an election. Apparently, some hundred years ago, there was a case of three Senators dying suddenly to plague almost immediately after being elected. The same procedure used then will apparently be used now, though there are tales of heated, angry debates between the Senators concerning this issue.
-
When commoners speak to magistrate barrim and mention the election, he usually says, "leave it as it is, the chaos of the last election i dont want to see repeated in the streets of this city for a while yet"
He doesn't appear to be at all interested in the positions of senator himself anymore, as he is often seen somewhat in a better mood of late perhaps he is enjoying his position as Magistrate a great deal, or perhaps it is the various friendly female company he has been seen with in the city, in norwick and at the Trademeet. Eowien of Tempus as usual or Desdirata a noblewoman.
He is often seen patting Tagnar on the shoulder too, often daily reminding him of his fine victory at the Trademeet Archery competition with a relieved chuckle to Desdirata if she is close by.
-
rumors run rife of a lizard girl runing around with a big double axe slaughtering people in the northern stretches of the nars. Seems undetermined whom is being attacked whether it be peltarch guards, bandits, or merchants.
-
Barrim notices the Blonde halfling staring at the guarhouse on occassion and asks the guard present constantly there to remind the halfling on the laws on loitering.. "A -single- reminder.." he adds with a stern expression
-
Anakore and Robyn Jähnsdotter are often spotted together lately. They both seem relaxed and happy, often making walks with Nickolai, the son of Anakore and Skyla, or just traveling together. They seem close, and all those who know them notice that something seems to be going on between them.
-
Apparently, Talgrath is out and about again. Though oddly, his love, Merydian hasn't been seen around lately. According to some people, they saw Merydian storm out one evening after hearing shouting, but who knows.
-
According to rumour, Talgrath has been granted a temporary leave from duty by Captain Telan. He seems to be spending much of his time lately away from the public, either shut up in his room at the inn or in his office at the Consortium.
-
Eowiel can be seen in the commons holding an elegantly carved torch in her hands, the flames flickering with a faintly blue tinge. After a time she stands and heads to the City Hall resolutely.
-
A blonde halfling is frequently seen staring at the Peltarch jailhouse, a look of concentration on his face.
((If you know Gears, you recognize it as him))
-
::rumors and whispers go flying through the commons and bars of every district, carried by the words of silver tongued folk that seem to stir the pot and then let it build on its own while leaving, that a call for a month long campaign and then immediete election should be held:::
-
Rumors begin to fly about what will happen to the Senate, with two members slain so recently after an election. Some say things should simply continue with the reduced number. Some call for new elections to fill the two vacant positions. However, it is also whispered that perhaps the next two candidates with the most votes would be ushered into service as Senators, at least until proper elections could place them there some time in the future…
-
_Nico Black is rumored to be very bothered by the recent deaths of Adam and Ayanie.
Some say that he is gathering together an elite group of companions for a dangerous mission. Their destination and members are not known though._
-
A complaint was made by a few of the Mermaid tenents about the constant, disturbing laughter that could be heard eminating from within the room occupied by the former inquisitor. Some weren't sure if he was there with someone or was just laughing at different tempos.
