::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Rumour spreads that Mecizq has been contemplating hiring the mage responsible for the commons magic on a semi permanent basis, or at least discussing idea's for future changes to the commons.
-
Word on the streets is that the cerulean knight, Serenity Laer, is looking for a jeweler of exceptional skill. Her reasons for doing so are open to speculation, but those interested in applying for the job can contact her either while she's on patrol in the city, or - in the rare instances when she's away - at the sisterhood house just outside of Jiyyd.
-
A sea of men clad in blue could be seen leaving the commons with a girl who had recently been crying heading first for the jail, then to the docks with crates, then setting sail on a small cargo ship.
Hours later they returned with not one, but two ships, and a prisoner in tow.
-
_Rumors fill the commons about an unusual sight earlier in the day. The supposed Banite Ezachiel Werner was seen being escorted, bound, by Lady Elenwyd of the Divine Shield and a few members of the guard towards the temple of Tyr.
Although the purpose of this escort wasn't made clear, he was seen leaving the temple sans bonds, with the guard, Genzir and Elenwyd in tow, then promptly left the city lands._
-
Word has it that general Lavindo's very young daughter, Eli, was caught running about with a spellbook belonging to her father, which she used to play a prank on some mages picnicking just south of the Civic District. The result was a very drawn-out exchange between her and captain Seth of the Cerulean knights that ended with him taking the spellbook back to Lavindo and Eli running off, very disgruntled. Lavindo must have a lot of faith in the guard to let his daughter run about town by herself!
-
_"The crowd that wanders near the Commons seem to have a mixed opinion about it all. Some think it is shocking that whoever is behind these odd occurrences hasn't yet been found, and frown at the idea that whoever is responsible so easily can get away with its stunts. Others think the Commons is greatly improved and loves to bask in the green surroundings, admiring the change.
And change it is indeed, white tall pillars circles the small commons, with green fresh grapevines. The ground is covered in lush soft moss and this time beautiful statues of stags and comfortable cushions is spread across the marble."_
-
Viktor was heard to have made quite a few wild assertions about the sand and trees recently, though they might not have seemed too wild as they appear to have been stated with the utmost confidence.
-
The mystery of the commons continued, as sand suddenly flooded the marble, along with seashells and star fish. Commoners swears the entire area has a salty sea like smell to it, and crowd gathered to marvel at the large palm trees swaying in the cold northen wind.
-
Dentin apparantly rather likes have a garden outside of his house, and has been spending some time sitting in the eco-commons when he can.. while it lasts.
-
While walking through Juster freezes in his tracks, after standing in shock for a few moments he quickly runs off murmering "what in the world?"
-
"The earth shook, and stone trembled, mid day in Peltarch and those gathered at the commons stepped back in wonder as by mysterious circumstances, trees broke through the stone along with patches of grass, moss, and even mushrooms. The commons were turned in to a tropical garden and those present could do little but marvel."
-
Rumor has it that there was an impromptu wedding at the dinner honoring Hanali Celanil. It is said one Raver Styx, Far Scout and bodyguard to Senator Aaron Ashald, married an officer in the Legion.
-
*People with contacts in the guards might hear that it was another 'Date Night' for some luckless individual. There is usually an informal sweepstake as to how long before Keira wanders in the gates with a motionless bound body over her shoulders.
This one was hooded from casual observation, but any with the urge to go to the jail might notice a scarred barbarian woman, known as Khory, in residence*
-
Sabre, haggling and flirting in her habitual manner with her merchant of preference Perin, can be overheard mentioning an oddity her party encountered as they were in the middle of persuading the kobolds to part with their trinkets.
"I'm tellin' ya Perin, that beast was -huge-, an' I'm not just talkin' about tha size o' his hammer. Tha whole cave shook when he weilded that thing, seemed horribly strong. Oh, no no.. we didn't fight 'im, wha' do I look like, a farkin' shiny-pants paladin? Geez.. in any case, there was no need fer heroics, tha thing just… sniffed us, an' let us go, seems we weren't all that appetizin' eh? Well, he did drool on me, so perhaps he was a wee bit tempted... sorry about tha smell by tha way, I'd better head ta tha baths now."
-
A new face has been seen hanging around the temple lately. The quite young girl, with pitch black hair, pale skin, a quarterstaff, an axe at her belt and a symbfol of Ilmater hanging from a long chain, seems to be resting there after what must of been a long trip.
-
After being brutally killed on the plains south of Jiyyd, Jeremy has been staying inside Peltarch's wall's, often checking the market, commons and all the gates.

@b257c11a53=Dorakhan:
Smoke seen rising from a burning Peltarch Arms Appartments was followed by strange rain which seemed to appear from a clear sky. Cerulean Knights could later be observed scrambling about along with a contingent of Guards after the blaze had subsided.
Rumors of magical arson begin to circulate in relation to the Appartments.
The Magistrate is seen asking the guard sergeant for a report, then heads off to the cerulean HQ to find Henry to ask him to send a report to him concerning this crime.
"Do you have a suspect for this crime yet, and details on who's property was damaged?"

_The Cerulean Knights known as Kenton Seth & Jeremy Steel, as well as Xilo & Elyl, were seen heading into the city and to the defenders HQ.
The unusual thing about this was that there was a very burnt and charred female drow body over Jeremy's shoulder. Most people would of noticed the slight grin on Jeremy's face too._
-
_The more astute of Peltarchian observers and gossipmongerers might have noticed the prolonged abscence of Black Sails Lt Sabre Seesaw's bodyguard Pavel, who usually accompanies her wherever she goes. After a time of solitude, it could be speculated that she is looking to hire new muscle again, though the man seen in her company lately seems rather lacking in that department. It is a small and slightly built man in worn leathers, face shyly hidden behind his hood, who has been following the sailor lass around for days on end. Though he seems skittish and uncomfortable in the city, he nonetheless trails after Sabre like a puppy, seeming very eager to please the young woman.
Whether or not the man is a bodyguard in training or just an enthusiastic admirerer is anyone's guess, but it seems his efforts to lift her rather bleak spirits has had some modest success._
