::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
The magistrate is seen to comment on the trees, stating…. "Someone make me a crossbow out of whatever those trees are made from" "Trees don't just pop into existance. Reminds me of a time underground when a demon was creating mirages for our minds, blasted thing..."
..."hmm assuming these are really here?" :he knocks on the tree with a gauntlet :
--
In other matters, Barrim has been seen to be awaiting a senate matter it seems, and has been seen writing in his office, and sending out runners to fetch the Realtor and refreshing his familiarity with the Trade Laws in the city.
Does the magistrate appear to be preparing for a trip? with the supplies and pack animals arriving in the market and assembly areas rumoured to be for the magistrates use, perhaps he is.
Various weather-worn individuals have been seen arriving in the city with appointments to see the magistrate, and although this is not unusual as various strange characters from the outlands and surrounding villages arrive to speak to him these ones' accents are distinctly different from the locals in these parts. To the highly knowledgable some seem to be from Iraibor, or Berdusk.
A few folk seem to be hanging around wondering if there is going to be any work, judging by the Realtors' presence. Last time the realtor was called to speak to the magistrate outside of criminal investigations, the courthouse was built within a year.
-
Notices are posted and word is put out that Genzir, the head of Spellweaver Keep, would like to find the person responsible for the trees in the commons, and exchange knowledge and/or services.
-
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?"
