::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
The "ever charismatic" guard was seen with a rare but reassuring smile when asked about the recent rumors he replies
"I've sacrificed a few of the stronger hobgoblins that plague the once safe Nars Pass in hopes to instill fear within the hobgoblin faction and perhaps lessen their presance or their readiness to attack travelers. If I had any ill intention for Peltarch, wouldn't I preform such things within our fine city? As for the accusations about my position one should note, my love for law knows no bounds and it is with great pleasure to uphold the laws and keep chaos from our streets."
With that the guard resumes his post during the day.

_Words spreads that the Haribo the GREAT, a wizard gaining renwon in the land, conducted a fighting tournament at the lucky ferret in recent days. It is said that Tolin took home first place honors, with Zyphlin Re'cual taking second, and Senator Sten's lovely wife Linah taking third.
It is also said that the Banite guardsman Vincent performed yet another gruesome sacrifice to the tyrannt lord upon the Nars, with questioning whispers shooting around if the Banite plans on using his position in the Guard as just another way to inflict tyranny upon the Peltarch masses. Comments are made of the irony of a Norwickian commenting on the "corruption of peltarch" when it is Peltarchan's that are being open and honest with thier displeasure of the man, while Norwickian's have had a history of living in denial of thier corruption and protecting them_
-
Ain't no surprise! Why should the guard be any less corrupted than any other Peltarch organization!
Har!
-
Word spreads that Vincent, an officer of the Peltarch Guard, was found on the road through the pass conducting a gruesome sacrifice to Bane. While whispers of fear wind among the common folk, a few guardsmen find themselves the subjects of less-than-trusting glances from passers-by.
-
A large Man adorned in Black And Green Armor was seen outside the city walls of Peltarch conversing with the Wizard known as Genzir. It is not known what the two talked about but they talked for quite sometime
-
A man by the name of Zidane has told almost every employee in the Dancing Mermaid Inn that he has taken up the proffesion of Bounty Hunting, he asks the employees to spread thw word around as people come and go through the Popular Inn
-
The rain is back. Whatever caused the month long rain in the first place seems to have returned. Clouds hover all over the sky of Peltarch and adventurer's pull their hoods up. Rain coats become a comon sight… on people and a less common one in shops. Except for those who welcome the rain, everyone hopes the rain would end sooner rather than later.
-
_Elissa keeps mentioning and complimenting the Peltarch senate on their latest decision. She is particularly impressed by their proper use of caution in outlawing any and all magic-based powers.
In an unrelated rumor it seems two blond recent arrivals to the city began a harmless chat with a magistrate in the market. At some point a word was mentioned and the meeting then moved away from the streets and prying ears. People wonder which word could have caused such a strange behavior. Some say it was 'dragon', others 'drow' and some few insist it was 'glass'._
-
Mecizq is seen about Peltarch making mention that he has several suits of solid steel fullplate for sale. A match for the best quality brass and near the finest you can get in the Narfell region.
-
Those in the docks notice a sizeable contingent of Guards and Defenders posted at the main sewer entrance together with a number of Divine Shield knights. Several are seen going in and leaving at different intervals, before sealing the entrance again in a few days.
-
Rumors spread of regular Legion patrols fom Jyiid to Pelt and back. These patrols happend at least once per day and are mostly lead by Major Kull of the Legion, other ranked legionares and the new recruits.
When asked for the price for the escort till pelt and vice versa, Kul can be heard saying:dee escort iz free. We charge nae shineez couse it be our duty da make sure da pass is free o gobbers fer travelers and merchants travel safely
KULL (Half Orc Barbarian, Training Officer and Major in the Legion)
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!”
-
Rumors fly about a confrontation between a 'lizardman' paladin of Tyr and a pack of Umberlant's in Tyr's temple. Seems the devout of the queen thought it alright to raise one of their own within the holy walls of Tyr's temple.
Lucky for the Umberlants they were granted mercy this one time. But if seen within the walls of the temple ever again, they would face a fate reserved only for the most vile of evil doers.
-
Nate is seen enquiring for a precise date that the senatorial meeting will be held.
-
_There's a collective sigh of relief as the last of the clouds move on and the downpour of rain finally stops. Those with the attention span of less than a month wonder if there has been a Peltarch before the rain at all. Those and the people who only recently arrived, though, welcome the change in weather and everyone else just hopes that whatever caused the month-long constant rain will not happen again.
The wiser people merely state that after the rain is before the rain._
-
_The occurances with wild magic seem to be growing in scale by the day. Latest rumours suggest that twists of weave hijacked a few adventurers randomly from around the Narfell area and landed them in unknown caverns.
The tiny group is said to have fought through goblins, bugbears, ettins and an army of zombies on their way back to surface. Some even say they managed to destroy an altar of an evil goblinoid deity on their way. Apparently they somehow managed to find a magical way out of the caverns and ended up in a cave near Ormpur.
Bormus of the Troff clan, Danaley Notten of the Guardians, and Norwick militiaman/Black Sail Paci Kelteel are often mentioned in the rumours to have been involved in this escape from the undermountain._

A puzzled dwarf enquires where this aura is…and whin yis en'er whit?
-
Due to the current chaotic state of the Weave, Clandra seems to have aquired an aura of energy that tends to slay all who enter. Many men (and women) in the city weep.

_Lilin and Equinox are seen carrying a bundle into the Pheonix guild office in Peltarch, after appearing outside the walls.
