3. Tavern Rumors of Peltarch

Tavern Rumors of Peltarch


  • There is quiet talk in taverns of an odd fog or mist (and arguments about what the difference is) that occasionally seems to roll into Peltarch from the alleys on occasion. It's a bit odd, but as it happens in the early hours, few are prepared to pay it much mind. There is also, probably unrelated, some talk about a missing person or two. But people tend to show up eventually in Peltarch.

    Nothing to worry about. Just drink your drink.


  • The new rumors abound that Morgan has chosen his inquisitor. Droim, the notorious(?) mage(?) who Morgan claims he recruited because he heard that Droim already had a uniform. And that saves on costs. Morgan pointedly did not question how Droim had a uniform, or why. He just sort of... trailed off and wandered away.


  • Tavern rumors spread that the newest Magistrate is seeking an Inquisitor to bully and do all the actual work aid Morgan in his duties.


  • Despite much publicity around the formation of a new mercenary company, former Captain Reyhenna Jorino is said to have departed Peltarch the day after the Military Tribunal which saw her long career as a soldier come to an abrupt end. She exited through the South Gate on foot and has not been seen in town since.


  • Ravos Calchais has been appointed by Guard General Velhar to replace Oscar Halbrook as Captain of the Commerce District Guard and the administrator of the Gaol.

    Calchais has been the Guard General's second hand since his allegiance with her on the Council. His appointment follows a high-profile arrest of the Princess Reyhenna Jorino several days ago, which Ravos and Velhar carried out personally.

  • Upon hearing the rumor, Sam just shakes his head and chuckles

    Everyone knows Dwarves don't drink milk...

  • Peltarch Employee

    *Rumor has it that the Tiller Farm will increase production in dairy as advised by Lady Varya Tiller in order to help provide milk for the dwarves. 4000 coin on possibly importing some rothe to meet the dietary needs of the dwarven people. She would also let all the dairy farmers know that the dwarves Bunus and Dalton are to thank.

    Furthermore, 500 gallons over the next few days of regular milk as thanks will be donated to the dwarven Refugee camp as a gift, courtesy of the Tiller Farms on behalf of Bunus and Dalton's needs to purchase large quantities of milk in the future.*


  • The talk of the taverns for a few nights is that of the mysterious, incredibly loud entity that tore up part of Peltarch's wall as it pursued unknown individuals. This strange, firey creature let out roars of fury and threats of death as it bowled through several Defenders, just after two guards were slain by unknown assailants. The creature, and its prey, vanished south, leaving only awoken and confused Peltarchians and shaken and battered Defenders.


  • A new game has spread around some of the dingier taverns of Peltarch, thanks to the actions of someone they're too drunk to remember. Spice Beer, they call it, and boy do drunken idiots like it. Can you handle the heat? Turns out a lot of them can't, and the lighthouse is none too pleased with the amount of sickly people being dragged through their door. The local guards, much to their displeasure, have had to remind people not to put literal poison into their beers.


  • A certain rusty man, maybe with some kind of wicked glow in his eyes and a broad grin in his face, says, or rather shouts after hearing all of the commotion

    OH YEAH BABY!!! If they are closing the bank, make it so they give money back to the people, specially me who has never opened up an account but WANTS THE MONEY BACK FOR THE PEOPLE HAHAH hahah HHA AHAH haahHA AH AH !

    HEY! I bet the troops storming the city is all about closing the bank and taking the money for theselves, NO WAY, LIBERTY FOR ALL!! HAHA HA HA HA Ah.

    Here, have this special beer-spice, pal. Tastes better in yer drik, yep. Just watch me.

    The rusty man, after swalloing the full contents of one of the offered vials he may or may not hand out some of those to the drunkards, letting them to make the choice whether to spice or not their beers.

    The rusty man, takes his leave laughing madly and babbling some words

    HHAHAHAHAHA

  • A

    While Cerulean Priestess Shesarai sat eating dinner in the Dancing Mermaid, a couple of patrons wandered over to her table, hats in hand, and spoke to her.

    "Miss, we saw you in uniform standing outside the crowd of Peltarch Defenders and Goal Guards the other day. But nobody heard you say nothing! Which side were you on?"

    Shesarai answered calmly. "I took no side. I am an officer of the City. The proper authorities handled the situation and prevented a violent confrontation."

    Not satisfied, the pair asked again: "But which side are you on now?:

    "The City's side," she replied. Then she went back to eating dinner, clearly discouraging further questions.

  • Did you hear that High Hold is sending a letter to the Regent to continue peaceful interactions and negotiations?

    it seems Sent does not want a fight...he is asking for an Embassador exchange.

    Trade goods have been a boon to this city...

    With better trade over the roads it will force the Seafarers to better prices.

    Lord Sent has some balls, bigger than the princess, hahahaha.


  • Whispers and shouts circulate through the taverns and inns in Peltarch of stand off at the Gaol. Hundreds of Defenders entered the city, breaking their oaths and vows, ignoring their orders.

    The princess seemed amused at the total lack of dicipline among her troops as it becomes clear that their pledges are to her and not to the city and Crown.

    "womans entire damn harem showed up the second she was dragged off like a child to the gaol"

    "Best to not cross her, she wants to see the streets in rivers of blood, heard that soldier say it all bold like"

    "Laws good enough for us but not for her. Heard she personally killed that banker with her bare hands" spits "not that the greedy bastard din deserve it"

    "Heard the princess actually poisoned the king and is now getting ready to do in her old man and the princes"

    And on and on the word goes, getting more outlandish, maybe, as the liquor flows.
