Jiyyd Rumors
-
_The word spreads around town of Gnolls that seemed to appear from out of nowhere, nearby the well…
The Gnolls were dispatched of easily enough... But not before a young elven girl was apparently kidnapped. Soon after a score of adventurers left Jiyyd, northwest from the gates... Travelling in the direction of the Gypsy Camp...
The events took place weeks ago now, and the young elven girl hasn't been seen since..._
-
The veteran Peltarch Defender Talgrath has been seen wandering around Jiyyd for the first time in quite some time. He was looking for information about the crystals.
-
The young paladin Mariston Thel was seen speaking with Lady Just'ene, it seems he was attacked by a dark dwarf while travelling the east road.
-
A silver haired one-eyed man seemed to have grown restless recently after he had a private conversation with Mirkali, the bard by the silver valley.
He is often seen wearing a forlorn expression at the same time as he is in deep contemplation. If Kara or Melanie is around, he usually wears a mixture of confused expression and uncertainty behind their back, only to have his face reverting back to his usual but forced facade this time whenever they turn around to speak with him.
Whatever Mirkali had told him in private by the silver valley, disturbs the one eyed man greatly and which seemed to concerns both Melanie and Kara.
-
The young sorcoress Luara Mortan is now seem back outside of her room at the inn with the warmth back in her face. her stomach sickness has subsided ratehr quickly. This unexplainedsickness has left many to wonder if she wasn't sick at all and that something darker has caused her absense in the town.

-
_::Seemingly random sprouts of arcane darkness we're spewing from the near east road, each one around 15 feet in diamater, touching and linked to the others.
The sprouts we're wild and wavery, shadows lashed and slithered across the ground, briefly, for roughly thirty seconds, before the line of shadows faded. It ended near the nars, at the crossroads, where many footprints intertwined in the snow.
Those of arcane nature know right away it was tapped from the weave. Something, it seems, did not want to be seen::_
-
_A feral panther who spends many of her days hunting the orc plains has been acting differently this last tenday.
Her custom is to pounce upon orcs passing her hidden crouch until the approach of strangers triggers her swift escape to lie somewhere contentedly cracking open orc skulls and lapping up the tasty brain matter.
More recently she has been prowling about sniffing at various orcish females and is even more snappy than normal._
-
rumors fly of the General getting shipments of many many kegs to the legion halls mumbling about war machines and giving them a nice little treat " Farkers whanna cum ta my town I give umm a nice welcome party nex time! "
-
_Word also spreads of a ritual that was performed by the elven priests and one 'firelady of Kossuth' to drive out the infernal cold and restore the warmth to the town. The prayers to the Seldarine apparantly did not go unheard…shortly after the ritual had been completed, the storm was snuffed out and the cold faded
Which of the rumours are truth remains to be seen_
-
_The recent vicious snowstorms and temperature would indicate Auril's displeasure at the town of Jiyyd. Perhaps its petty laws preventing acknowledgement of any Gods the council deem to be 'dark' prevented appropriate offerings from being made.
Despite the best efforts of priests, paladins and well-meaning other citizens wanting to drop crossbow bolts into the coruscating whirl of ice that was the centre of the storm, nothing seemed to make it go away.
The storm only died down after a man had died of exposure to the cold. Perhaps some of the older ways still have power._
-
The bard Sil was last seen headed into the Rawlins via Norwick. The rumors suggest that her mood was dark indeed, a mix of frustration and latent anger. What is known for sure is that she hasn't been seen for several days at least, even by those who might search for her.
Perhaps she is spending time among the forest to calm herself.. or perhaps the beautiful bard that wandered into Jiyyd one day has just wandered on.
-
Word filters down from Peltarch that Sir Gunnar Hockstrohm has fallen in battle.
-
Rumors fly of a grand battle in the nars with a crazy Vampire that dared challenge the legion and the Jiyyd defence council. After a few nights the battered legion came inside the walls looking rather beet up but General was heard shouting and cheering some walking in with Amana…
-
General Grag hears word of the friendly neighboorhood ghost and is rumored going around calling him the Ghost of hope and to not fear him
-
Word spreads around town that an acolyte of the Helmite Temple recently saw a ghostly man. His description of the ghost seems similar to the one seen days ago. The wandering apparition did not take notice of the young man until he gathered up enough courage to ask who the ghost was. The ghost turned to the acolyte and whispered, "Solais Aran," and faded from sight before any more questions could be asked.
-
The bard Sil spreads word of some glowing crystals that have been sighted at different spots in the pass. The crystals have been seen to erupt from the ground during earthquakes.
She advises that no one touch them, warning of dire consequences for that person and anyone else around. She also suggests that no one look at them, lest they be enchanted by their magic and compelled to touch them.
If she is questioned further, she mentions that the crystals seem to channel elemental magic. She is also wont to mention that she remembers reading something about hidden elemental magics under Norwick.. perhaps the crypts? under the Keep? Maybe even down the well?
edit: She is also quick to warn of possible snowball attacks on adventurers who might be interested in investigating.

Rumors spread of the Legion elf Elith and the cutiest hin you ever did see of having "relations" They are often spotted togeather huddled close, hugging, and what not.
-
Rumors also spread about such bandits attacking defenseless animals in the pass. There is also talk of two large men running head on into a large group of Eastlanders, only to be killed with the help of the infamous Frost Giant Bandits. Could there be a possibilty that the Frost Giant Bandits have organized with the Eastlanders to fight their common foes? Some seem to think so…
-
Rumors spread of a group of fearsome bandits on the Nars Pass near the crossroads. The group calls themselves the "Frost Giant Bandits" and has reportedly pelted passerby with snowballs after demanding coin and ale.
Their members are known to include two stunningly beautiful elves, and an umber hulk. After battling the bard Mirkali for hours on end, the Frost Giant Bandits prevailed after dumping snow down his pants.
Whispers suggest that the FGBs could rival even the Eastlanders.
