::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::



  • Talgrath is heard to be outraged about the brawls. Stating that if he was general, things like this wouldn't occur. He seems to be growing more and more impatient for the senate to vote on the issue of who is to be general of the Defenders. He is also heard to be disparaging the captain's refusal to form a temporary council to deal with the problems and divisions in the ranks, and claiming that the captains who have their men wear sashes are just after power.



  • _Evendur's bodyguard Danerk is rumored to have been the target of several insults over the past tendays from Defenders of different platoons. The offenders, to varying extents, apparently mock Danerk as Evendur's lapdog and degrade the integrity of his Captain, Kaster Lavindo. For all intents and purposes, Danerk has appeared to weather the insults in a professional manner… so far.


    Other rumors suggest that the divisions within the Defenders have gotten so bad as to lead to brawling in the streets. One can only speculate what will happen next._



  • The market shop had two boards with the word Beware nailed up over the door durring the night.



  • Word has it that Nico is looking for new merchants who would like to come work for him. He is taking many under his wing and teaching them how to earn some…honest...coin.



  • When asked about the death of Janita, Deacon goes silent

    She nae wanted ta return.. foolish woman, 'ats why ah liked her to.. 'ats why ah liked her..



  • Stories spread of a group of heros defending the gate from an attack by kobolds led by Ogres, why they attacked or where the guards were seems to be a mystery.



  • It likely goes unnoticed by most, but a few folk in the Mermaid talk of how the rather loud occupant, Janita, seems to have been slain somewhere to the south. They seem somewhat relieved to no longer have to put up with her somewhat irritating stay at the inn, though some comment the docks are the worse without her cartography skills.



  • Rumors circulate about a large black cat going beserk in the commons. No fatalities however there is talk of injuries and the owner of the cat having been taken into custody.



  • Ferret is now taking bets on how long their marriage will last



  • On a somewhat happier note then all the doom and gloom lately, rumour has it that Talgrath "finally got off his lazy ass" and proposed to Merydian.



  • Rumors begin once again of a magical duel in the commons. As the story goes a rogue mage appeared and began to attack. Details are few and far-fetched as most ran once the attacks begin, some do mention the mages seeming ability to play with illusions. Though some still pause and point at the burned cobblestones from the spells the mage threw.



  • An abrupt scene in the commons following a bit of a distrubance between a Cerulean Knight and a guard saw Luitenant Senella of the Cerulean Knights administering a Public Flogging to Knight Clandra Galpen, the grim faced Luitenant gave the rather, understandably, dour Knight no less than twenty five hard lashes for her misconduct. She the Knights of the Cerulean Stars will maintain their excellent standards of disipline in these uncertain times.





  • It is known Deacon is usually found in the dock district, especially now he has a few real estate projects going on. Also it is known he has a daughter, or atleast a girl who he treats like one.

    ((Msg me on Irc, or IG when you need the "Dark clothed men" to speak with me. ))



  • Rough men in dark clothing have been asking for information about Decon and his crew.



  • Captain Silas has been murdered and the bodies of nearly two dozen bloodspiders found through the docks. Vick Dunderstone is said to be looking for a man in black and red, the bloodspiders have also been making enquiries.



  • Deacon, or one of his associates, has been asking about in Inn's, pubs, and taverns all across Peltarch on information on the mercenary's and the recent murder of the Wavebreaker Captain.

    ((If you know anything, and often visit a tavern or Inn in Peltarch, you might of have heard Deacon is looking for information))



  • Gildor while at the Ferret presses her hands on to the small of her back and stretches. She picks up the damp cloth up from the bar-counter and folds it twice.

    "…three times..."

    She murmurs to herself, peering lost in thought in to air.

    "…bloody 'ell"

    Then she gives a shudder of disgust and goes back to cleaning the desk.



  • Stories spread of a Minotaur escaping the fighting pit in the Ferret and rampaging thorugh the spectators. Some say Senator Rath Ashald faced the beast personally and bested it but was sorely wonded and had to be tended to three times by a campanion in one of the Ferret's back rooms. Others say Rath was lucky Anakore, his knights and Talgrath were there.



  • Rumor has it that Senator Black has been gathering around him a small group of what he is calling his personal guard. He has been speaking to a few people around town and in particular he's been seen talking to a few ex-Black Dragon Knights. He's also been paying attention to the different factions in the Defenders and meeting with several of the leaders who have distinguished themselves.
