::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
A rarely seen three star cerulean knight has been seen recently emerging from his cigar smoke laden office and venturing to the commons to enjoy the evening air. Known as Henry he has been seen in the company of the Magistrate and a defender and his brother leaving for the south, and seen around the outskirts of the city heading to the northwest.
Barrim was heard to remark that the captain should offer Henry more assignments away from endless papershuffling in future and he has complimented the knight on his skill and tenacity in the arcane arts on returning to the city.
Aside from that the Magistrate seems to be beoming fast friends with the man while remaining aware that he might well be worthy competition for similar females that Barrim prefers as the man appears sharp of wit as well as adept in the weave; something he can't compete in.
-
Barrim has been seen ordering a defender seen drunk and unclothed hanging around the commons with his brother to the guardhouse for the sergeant to deal with in his own special way. The defender was soon seen in proper order soon after.
The same man known as Private Akra was soon after seen heading west with his brother in an attempt to recover a kidnapped family from the giantspire foothills. They boy was recovered safely by the defender.
He is making it known among the military that prompt duty and appearing in good order will be noted, and that indiscipline and deriliction of duty will be punished by the proper military authorites.
He is also reminding guardsmen and defenders of the need to remain vigilant on the nars pass, for signs of recent trouble and any change in the attitudes of the eastlanders, while also reminding the defenders and guard stationed at the outpost of his promise of reward to the one that fells the strange lizard woman sighted in recent months close to there.
-
_The young Abiie can usually be seen within the commons, hardly ever is she without the company of either Syne, Mirkali, Merydian or Talgrath.
She appears to look a bit brighter and her facial features have developed further, making her appear older and more beautiful_
-
Ting is decidedly enraged at the damage to the market shop durring the explosions.
All common customers have been turned away at the door apparantly because of repairs being conducted inside and the public finds itself deprived of fruity-crunchy things.
-
During all the chaos of the recent attacks on the City the elven Luitenant of the Cerulean Knights is still nowhere to be seen. Rumours have it that she lies deathly ill deep in the confines of the Bardic College, far away from the battles and negative energy assaults above her.

_The young woman Abiie Uramesyy can be seen walking about without the veil around her face anymore.
Rumors have it she is living with several people, but not her own father_
-
_Some of the darker elements of the city shuffle about, reconnecting with old networks and gathering information.
What could the invincible gladiator, the undefeated warlord, Uthger the Battle Scarred have to concern himself with such that a squad of Black Dragon Knights need escort him?
Certainly, nothing pleasant._
-
_Folks around the city noticed a strong Black Dragon Knight presence recently. There were knights stationed at every gate and the gates locked. A force of no less than a dozen knights was seen following Uthger towards the inn under orders to let no one enter or leave.
The inn regulars tell drunken tales about Uthger attacking the one called Mara. They say how she attacked the inn regulars with magic in her efforts to stop Uthger and was then beaten to death by Uthger and the commoners.
Those that ask Uthger of the body are told its secure, however Uthger has no problem showing the drow head contained in Mara's helm to all those that ask._
-
In the wake of this attack, Senator Evendur Mildsilver is hardly seen at all. Rumors indicate that he is immersed in intense research regarding some related topic or topics.
-
According to rumours, there was a magical attack on Peltarch at the south gates in the Commerce District. Defenders and guards were struck by magic and killed. According to rumours, a group of city employees, aided by Head Priestess Daisy dealt with the problem.
-
Word spreads through the city that Magistrate Re'cual has left with former Knight of the Cerulean Star Skyla Vea'Draeven out of the western gates of the city, heading to Cormyr for a vacation during the winter solstice.
((gone for christmas

-
Rumours abound of fighting to the south. The guards on the walls to the south and the west have been increased and some whisper that the South Tower is abandoned. According to rumours, Talgrath, Nico Black, and Zyphlin Re'cual were with a group that broke through powerful enemies to the south to reach Peltarch. A notice put out by the city states that the roads to the south have become more dangerous and that travelers should take caution.
-
_Rumor has it, started by a group of rebels in the Mermaid that the body of one 'Dang' has been dug up and stolen from his tomb. Many of his possessions were left within the coffin though his body is missing.
Later - rumors pass that the body's head was reattached and ressurected near Norwick_
-
The city is bustling with rumours after the loud noise coming from the south was heard. Many ask what could have made such a sound. Many think it has something to do with the Eastlanders as they no longer appear to be in the pass. Some rumours say the entrance to the Eastlander's Cave has collapsed.
-
According to rumour, Captain Telan (of the Defenders) hasn't been seen around recently. Some say that they last saw him leave by the west gate. Several hours later, a Defender, a Black Dragon Knight, and a man in full plate whom some identify as Senator Brynmor left by that same gate. Some say that when they returned they looked rather distressed, especially the Defender. Some say they came back with a corpse between them. Others say armor and weapons. Who knows what is the truth, an official statement by the Defenders say that Captain Telan is "on vacation".
-
_Word flies through the streets of Peltarch that Senator Nico Black is to be wed soon finalizing his long relationship with Yolande. Some of the citizens of the Commerce district report hearing the Senator proclaiming his love for her during the early hours of the morning. The following day Nico wasn't seen much as he only left his and Yolande's room for some food and drink which he promptly returned back to the room.
Word gets out after a few short days that a grand party is scheduled to officially announce and celebrate the engagement. News is spread quickly to the Bardic College, any other local entertainers, as well as Nico and Yolande's friends and acquaintences that a celebration is in the works._
((ooc:: I will try to get everyone that's on together IG for a celebration this coming Saturday that Nico and Yolande knows.))
-
Rumours say a badly scorched Eowiel crawled up out of the sewers a recent night, stumbled into the commons and had to be brought to the Temple of Tyr. Visitors at the temple watched as she was treated for a massive amount of poison there and taken home to the Bardic College. She has not been seen outside since.
-
Maya can be seen packing her gear on a caravan headed for Damara. Particular attention is being paid to two large kegs, each with their own separate wagon.
((Maya will be gone one real life week to represent the trip))
-
Talgrath has been searching the city for his daughter (or stepdaughter, the rumours are unclear) Abiie. People say he seemed to be both concerned and angry.
