::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Amy has been seen now openly going around the city trying to actively recruit students for arcane or martial training.
-
Other random commoners (Oh yes, I have my random commoners too to spread rumours!, mwahahaha) would speculate on this being related to the knight Mecziq throwing Mirkali in jail quite publicly, being a possible bardic conspiracy! Most dimiss this though… but while the topic is brought up, some random commoners talk about Mirkali, who has yet to have a trial, yet to be visited by any magistrate, yet to be officialy presented any evidence, and has been such and sitting in jail awaiting trial for 3 1/2 months now, or so has been rumoured. Some people begin to question the remaining Magistrate's effectiveness in handling the law, and often mention some penchent of him sitting on his bum and eating crumpets and sipping tea...
-
Chaevre' has not been seen very much in the city of late, when she is t seems she seeks out a person or person to speak with on some issue or another, and then leaves, if approached she will usually entertain a question or two before walking off
-
Rumor also follows that Lisa simply confined the Knight Mezicq to keep Eowiel from assailing him due to her temper stating that Anakore would clear it up in the early portion of the morning. Rumors circulate that such violence from a Senatorial candidate is shocking.
-
In spite of the rumours flying around, it is also widely known that the Guard Lisa assisted the Lieutenant Senella in her efforts, and her rational ways are widely known.
-
Rumors abound in the commons following an incident with Eowiel Senella, Candidate for Senate and fellow Knight Mesizcq who has become reknowned for his service to the city of late. Rumor states that Eowiel gave orders to the knight that conflicted with his directive from the Captain of the Cerulean Knights and the brave Mezicq tried to reason with the irrational elf woman who seemed drunk with power and approaching lunacy. It is also speculated that Eowiel is possessed or afflicted by the High Mage. This does not bode well for the city.
-
A small band of knights bearing Kelemvorite livery can be seen approaching up the pass, seemingly tired and burned from ambushes on the road by Eastlanders. The leader of the band, Guard captain Zyrune headed straight for the temple of Tyr when his group arrived in the city and spent the night recovering at the inn once their business was concluded.
-
The elf Ting who hasn't been sen in the city for more than two years passed through the city with the dwarf Haelea under escort of the cerulean knight Mecizq. Apparantly some ritual was preformed outside the gates then Ting spent a couple hours sitting in the commons under escort before leaving. She seemed very pleased to be in the city, and one child remembers her giving him candy.
-
visible from the south gate and wall of the Civic District were continious lightnign stirkes to the south in the lizard men lands, keen eyes would notice the lightning was shrouding around one figure near the open mineral mine, further in the distance wasa soft pink glow. Three figures were seen fleeing due west from the lightning
-
Rumors from Jiyyd that a group of Adventurers Hunted down and Killed the Dark Enchantress, they say it was because she murdered someone unprovoked..
-
A tall and strong redhead can be see wandering seemingly aimlessly through the streets of Peltarch, drawing buildings and trees and other things on a sheet of paper, occasionally adding a few letters which seem to take her just as long as anything else. From time to time she exclaims an Oh! When asked what she's doing, she replies with a sheepish smile: "Er just uhm finding uhm my er way uhm."
-
Mistress Eowiel Senella is often heard dissassociating Zephlin's work as Magistrate from his work as Headmaster. "They are completely separate and have no effect upon each other…" she is heard to remark...however, while defending the integrity of the College stalwartly, she never seems to go far enough to actually defend the former Magistrate...
-
Drelan Ashire, being his usual peachy self anytime politics are abound in Peltarch has seemed to avoid the streets as much as possible, though he can still be seen on occaision making rounds through the docks and to the guild house building. One time upon entering the city lately, he of all people went to the Seafarer's Guildhouse, and exited sometime later with his hand resting on his sword's hilt still not drawn from its scabbard, a fire in the man's eyes not seen in sometime. He disappeared from the city for a few days and has since returned and can be seen often kneeled outside the Seafarer's Guild with a very small fire burning in a tin cup before him. It seems most have seemed fit not to approach him while he performs such a rather odd ritual.
-
_Skyla Vea'Draeven has been seen outside of the confines of the college recently, sometimes in the company of some of the apprentices, and often with her two newborn twin children.
While out, she often speaks in support of her fiance Zyphlin, managing complete composure, pleasantness, and perhaps a bit of her once famous charm when speaking of some of even the worst accussations._
-
_A very pretty elven lass has been spending more time around Peltarch lately. Some may recognize her as a bard of the college.
She is wont to spend time in the Mermaid, sipping wine and talking casually with the lads brave enough to speak to her.
At any opportunity, she defends Zyphlin's name and that of the College, composing and performing a few short tributes to the noble establishment of learning and art._
-
_…. a tatterd band of adventurers enters Peltarch from the west. one hin and three humans, as they meet people they keep warning them to go west into the giantspare foothills. They keep taking in each others mouth and for those patiant enough to listen they descipher something about them running into a band of heavy gnomish chavalry out testing their newest weapon. The fearful ultimate weapon as the gnome's apparantly said, the Automatic Chicken Thrower!
For those who are interested the adventurers tell tales of the exploding chickens and how they forced the gnomes to continue their testing outside of the town walls of Peltarch, atleast one of them tell this tale. The person beeing a little known student of spellweaver.._
//thanks deathcat, I am still laughing…
-
Elissa can occasionally be seen speaking up for Zyphlin, making a weak attempt at defending him.
I'm sure that the Magistrate always only meant well, and that's why he might have bend the law a bit. It's not like he cold bloodedly would murder someone and he's always tried to make up for what he did wrong, too. Healing wounds and giving a bit of gold to the widows and orphans.
-
Dark whispers are spoken in relation to the former Magistrate. Some say the Senate will not stand for his attempt to run away before they could charge him.
Some say he has been using the city, and was guilty of high treason, and bought his way out of a conviction.
Others speak of the Bardic College, and how every election it tries to put its people in positions of power, all under the command of this criminal.
The rumors spread like slow creeping venom.
No one seems to question the enchanting girls that walk into the taverns of the city, and leave hidden by the fog of heated debate.
-
Zyphlin laughs when hearing the rumor and points out that his latest speech where he officially stepped down by his own choice occured well before these began. He chalks it up to those in the government already trying to skew the truth so that the people will go unheard
-
Rumor has it an attempt was made to Assassinate Lady Arien Ashald. She is seen to leave the city with her brother and then is seen in the city library among others and is busy and not so frivolously wasting time.
