Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
The beginning of the election is marked by little public activities from the candidates, with speculations that they are taking their campaigns to the city's Guilds in search of both their crucial electoral support as well as financial backing.
-
Sorcerer Ronan Redralen, who runs for Peltarch Senate currently, is seen walking about the city with a smile on his face. He greets all who approach him enthusiastically, saying that he wishes to get to know the citizens of the city better. Occasionally he visits the Mermaid to have a glass of wine, catching up on local gossip..
-
A rather nice looking Red head, is seen looking for the best price to book a room for the next year for. She says she intend to stay in peltarch for a while and does hate sleeping in her chain and in the cold plains in a breezy tent.
-
Talim still recommends making a rug from the cat guy would be a good if not stylish idea.
"It's not like he's still using it!"
-
Marty get's busy cleaning up the mess in the common caused by the frost and slain interplanar beast, grumbling somting under her breath.

_Rumour abound of two very peculiar visitors to the Peltarch commons, both seemingly focused around the crew of the Black Sails. First, the grass and carefully tended flowers of the commons became glaced with frost, and a light snowfall began to herald the approach of the mysterious mage known as the Dark Enchantress. This ill-reputed arcanist is said to have proposed to hire the Sails to retrieve an object from the drow, but the deal seems to have been met with a polite refusal.
Nevertheless, suspicion against the crew was raised by some, and certainly not lessened by the later arrival of what seemed a kind-mannered, if somewhat eccentric man offering tea to the crowd at the commons. He too addressed the Sails directly, speaking of forgiveness, repayments of debts and a game of the highest stakes. After sharing the tea and a tale of his life, the man was then inexplicably shot by the Umberlant priestess Sedea Sterr. Bright light and the flutter of wings was heard throughout the commons at his passing, fading to leave behind not the body of a human, but that of a catlike creature known as a Rakhasa. His name, it is said, was Illusif._

A Damaran noble has arrived in an impressively large ship at the docks, with rumours stating he is a Baron who is distantly related to the King of Damara himself, a cousin or somesuch. The man in question has been spotted touring the city with an unusual choice of guide, a local dock urchin and her deadbeat father, with only two guards strolling after them. Why the man is here is not readily apparent, though his sailors seem to be looking for part time jobs in the docks, suggesting a lengthy enough stay is planned.

_Recently, Adrian has been spotted wearing a magnificent suit of fullplate, seemingly made entirely out of gold. To those who ask, he eagerly explains how he came into the possession of the armor.
It seems that it once belonged to the champion of Firthram's Hold, who lost it to the mute blademistress Sara (yes, the very one recruiting for the Spellweaver Keep guard right now), who graciously donated the armor to Adrian afterwards.
Though some may call the armor decadent, or question whether gold makes for a decent armor at all, it would take a truly jaded man to call the armor generic._
-
The silent warrior most call Sara is seen passing about town and the nearby encampments using notes and smiles to convey to those members of combat units, be they mercenary or retired milita, that Spellweaver Keep seek good men to form a more solid guard for the Keep and grounds. Any who seek to join such a guard would recieve the best in magical healing and regeneration magics, as well as all the usual benefits of working for such a prestigous institution.

Rumors swirl through the Mermaid that Peltarch's most well known and well to do wizard, Enenan Snydder, had a portion of his estate set ablaze the night before.
Some speculate that it was an experiment gone arwy, others say it was a mad maid tired of being groped by the younger Beldor, while still others say it was a drunken noble harboring hatred for the past Snydder sins.
Whatever the cause, the estate does not look to worse for wear. A tree was burnt down and the back corner is noticably scorched but the infastructure of the strong stone building remains standing stoutly.
-
The last day a certain honey-haired sail was seen about the commons, several people nearly lost their heads on account of being bitten off, and friends and strangers alike seem to have had their dose of venom for the day.
As she was seen at the end of the day though, as she turned in to the mermaid to sleep for the night, she was damned near skipping.
How odd is that?
-
A tall red haired fellow in silver armor can be seen around the red bearded sailor. Obviously a friend or bodyguard.
-
A certain red-bearded sailor can be seen loitering again in various places around the city. He claims to be representing Sterr interests and desires a meeting with the League of Merchants about getting a local industry enlisted with the League.

_As word began to spread throughout the city that an important Seafarer caravan was running worrisomely late in arriving from the south, both the guild's heavily armed guards and opportunistic adventurers set out to find some trace of it. Later rumours has it the caravan was ambushed by a large group of vicious gnolls. While the Seafarers soon secured the precious cargo, and no lives were lost due to the timely arrival of the well-known druid Jerrick and a couple of other brave and helpful souls, it is said that the gnolls took off with another type of prize.. namely the young lady Ciara Ashald and her paige.
The druid and his companions returned to the city many hours after the Seafarer guards themselves returned, and looking decidedly battle-worn. Alongside them walked an equally ragged-looked group of Black Sails, and in their midst, lady Ciara Ashald, recovered from the gnoll abductors safe and sound. The question to some people's minds might be what's more unlikely: the Seafarers actually hiring the Black Sails, or the Black Sails helping an Ashald out of the kindness of their hearts?_

A month or more later the young mother returns to the inn. Her mother, father or sister frequently around to help with the new bundle. To those who ask she shows the baby. Stating that his name is Giliath Tol Silmarien, Gil for short.

Travellers from south report about an odd elf maiden, spot several time during the night not very far away from the road. The elf has been sighted dancing and singing while wearing almost no clothes and chanting praises to a Dark Maiden. Some citizens believe she may be a spy working for some dark allegiance and started growing some concerns.

_Tavern folk speak of a few Temple lay servants climbing to the top of a house in the Residential District carrying a pouch and then drawing from it a stone which shone brightly as day. This particular house had been the roosting spot for a good number of ravens but after the bright stone is placed, they seem to at the very least keep their distance from the house… but then so do many of the townsfolk, as the stone glows brightly day and night.
Knights of the Cerulean Star are often frequent visitors to this particular residence._
-
Several days in a row Sarah is seen moping around the Mermaid. Rumor spreads that she asked some people to spread a message, but its reciever either didn't get it or doesn't seem to be showing up. Finally one early morning the young and heavily pregnant woman is seen getting onto her horse and heading south. The inn keep knows nothing about it beyond that she paid for her room for the next 6 months.

Jay, for the most part, says the words with a dull tone, and with an unenthused look. Not exactly putting excitement into the teachings. Usually, he motions at Luke and claims that "he knows the answer" when a child asks a question. When Luke forces him to answer, he does so as vaguely as possible… which likely just prompts more questions from the kids..
