Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
_Upon hearing about the appearance of rats and wererats in the sewers, a likely looking hin dressed up like a guard begins poking around sewer entrances and overflows, looking for clues and signs of egress.
And no, an egress is not a type of bird._
-
A massive group of rats and wererats erupted from the sewers in the Commerce District, disrupting all trade and traffic for well over a day as the Defenders engaged them in combat. Rumor has it that a group of adventurers descended into the sewers and slew them but became cursed themselves.
-
::Chea can be seen wearing new blue cloak with silver dragon symbol, while struggling with sword under direction of a few Defenders::
-
::A young, withdraw white-haired woman wearing a simple breastplate and two large axes at her back, is seen in company of Yana, the Peltarch Guard Sergeant. While often they'll just talk quietly, sometimes they leave inside the city's training facilities for hours::
-
Ardent has been seen mentioning to people a get together in the Grapevine back room to talk about scouting, sneaks, and FREE BOOZE.
-
Labur is once again seen frequently entering and exiting the Peltarch Brewery, smelling to high heavens of hops and malt!
-
In response to these rumours, the fetching Elven maid with ankle-length white hair Senma "The Strategist" Tethae'lr openly admits to those from whom she hears them, "I am an Elf, and I wish to become a Senator, for the sake of reforming the Senate and Peltarch's government into an instrument of the people over whom it governs, rather than letting it be an instrument for age-old rulers to achieve their own personal, commercial ends. And certainly I would want those Peltarchan Elves to have their say in this government, alongside the rest of us."
-
Rumors spread that, with two senators dead a new round of senatorial elections is coming soon. Some whispers speak of the elven delegations looking to get a representative on the Senate for the first time in some years.
-
Ardent may have been seen talking to Lenny and Hemrod, two people she calls her favorites in Peltarch. She casually mentions to them if they happen to run across someone who knows an elf named Men'ar that Aramuil may be willing to talk to him on neutral ground. Then she drools over the scrolls some and departs.
-
After acquiring an amulet bearing the seal of Tidus from Hemrods, Senator Martoushca begins making inquiries about who sold it and where it came from.
-
_Elena Arguyle has been seen visiting merchants down at the docks and the market, a leather-covered tome in her hand, taking down notes. At other times, she might be seen outside of the city walls, sometimes with some Defenders, supply baskets in hand.
Ordinary cityfolk entering the city hall might observe posters calling for donation of new heal kits, as well as requesting for volunteers to join a "healing aides" group after receiving free basic healing aid courses._
-
Ky’Amendos Wefneren has been attending the Temple of the Triad much more frequently as of late. He will always attend the regular sermons and prayer times when in town. Sometimes he will pray and meditate for an extra hour or two seeking Torm’s guidance. He prays each time asking for the courage, strength and wisdom to follow the path that the Loyal Fury demands of his faithful warriors and knights and that one day he might be found worthy to earn the right to serve as a true servant of the Loyal Fury.
-
Standing with her family, at the hand hand side of her elder brother Aymon, a grim swordsman with a giant blade and facial hair the texture of coarse stone stands at the proceedings. He offers the kindest emotion he can, which might be considered a smile on some quasi-elemental plane of people without faces. Nevertheless he offers a sweeping bow and a congratulations to "My lady Ashena" afterwards.
-
_Among the more unexpected guests at said knighting were a number of pale, ragged women in scant and tattered clothing - quite the contrast to the splendour of the other guests. The lady of the hour, Ashena Teroldys, was wearing a blood-splattered set of spiked armor with a great many slashes and dents. While nervous at first, she spoke her vows without tremble or hesitation, a bright and giddy smile greeting her friends afterwards. Noticably, a flash of light illuminated the young paladin's sword during the ceremony, the specks of rust previously covering the blade falling off.
Hugs and hearty handshakes were exchanged after the ceremony, the freshly minted knight disappearing upstairs before returning to find the tall guardsman and the dance that was promised her._
-
Val too, was present, standing to the side in her dress regalia, looking splendid as she normally does. Afterwards, she disappeared to the docks, heading south to take the line against the enemy.
// Gah, if I'd known about this… I WOULD have been there >_<
-
Ardent arrived promptly for the knighting, sitting near the rear of the Temple of the Triad and feeling instantly self conscious at her brilliant red silk apparel. She worried the edge of her sleeves throughout the ceremony with her nails before ducking out right before the end, feeling foolish for getting so dressed up. Yet, despite that part, she could not stop grinning with pride at the knighting of her good friend and comrade, Ashena Terodyls.
(Sorry, char would have totally been there, 100%. Player went camping.)
-
It was a night like any other in Peltarch, and that is to say, there were victorious adventurers returning from afar, a tale of conquest on their lips, and spoils to divide in the Temple of the Triad.
Furthermore, not long after, there was even a knighting! A certain Ashena Teroldys was knighted as a member of the Order of the Divine Shield, with a small crowd in attendance.
In this crowd, and waiting around for a while afterwards, was a very tall fellow, with a bright red cloak that simply screamed "NORWICK" , along with his fairly ornate clothing which seemed a contrast from the denizens of the barbarian town.
The Amethyst festhall was soon the location of both the new knight, and the tall fellow, where if rumors are to be believed, the two of them cued up the band, and danced the night away. (perform 20+ for each) Any witnesses would have seen a graceful dance indeed, ending in … a rose?
Apparently a rose changed hands in the middle of the dancefloor. How romantic, eh? Wonder what was said...
-
_Local mope Arlan Meynolt has been going into the Bardic College every now and then, whats such a mopy mope doing in one of the least mopy places in Narfell?
Moping it up and ruining it for others I bet._
-
A fiery haired half elf woman has been seen timidly standing around outside where the senate meetings are held. She looks terribly uncomfortable and extremely worn, clutching a ring on her left hand tightly. Obviously lost in the city, she asks a guard how she could deliver news of one of the senators to the senate
((PM sent to DrD))
-
_The Hoarran Talaitha has been seen often at the Temple of the Triad. Often working along side the acolytes in small tasks, polishing the benches and metalworks, tending to candles. Spotted recently outside beating rugs as well to get rid of dust. When not tending these duties she is about the city arranging lists of available housing which she dutifully copies and distributies to any Norwick refugees from the recent bugbear attacks, helping them to get settled as quickly as possible.
Some even say they swear they've seen her mucking the stables numerous times, though its a task normally seen to by others._
