::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
As dawn lit the skys over Peltarch a majestic sight was beheld, a coppery coloured dragon was seen soaring through the skys. Upon its back three armoured humoniod figures. Those with keen eyes would have seen the glint of blue and gold of two sets of armour and green from another.
-
Rumors spread that Sir Richard Luis received a note from his hometown of hardcastle. He is seen boarding a caravan travelling south, he appers alarmed and worried. What the note contained or of his return is not known (( I'll be on vacation for 1 week rl = to 30 plus days narfell time, look forward in coming back to see everyone again))
-
Another attempt was made upon the life of the young paladin Mariston Thel. An assassin disguised as a defender tried to strike the young knight down, but failed. The guard Lisa was seen taking the body of the assassin, and informing the young knight that he had broken no laws so need not hand himself in.
-
Word spreads that the elven warband, known as the Velahrae, are gathering for a raid on the goblins to the south. It is said any of the Tel'quessir are welcome, provided they can work within the warband and follow orders.
//6pm EST, Friday October 14th. Nothing fancy. Just some good old fashioned role play. Getting our feet wet, so to speak
Be there or be square!//EDIT: Time changed!!! Friday evening instead now!

Yolanda, who was part of Belade's group, seemed more than a little irritated and worried over "Full grown sauri along with their cubs and tracks of a stegadon found".
-
A group entered Peltarch though the West gate, looking like they had been in a fight of sorts. They sold a nice pile of loot, Sauri and Kobold loot together. Each of the members of the group got what seemed like 300 or so gold. One redheaded elf, dressed in full plate, handed a human shaped bundle over to one of the Guards at the West Gate. More men were posted there after they entered the city.
-
Several armed men are seen attacking Senator Brynmor in the commons before being cut down by Guards, Defenders, and Divine Shield Knights. Crowds gather to watch as the fallen are carried off. Roland is seen taking the body of a guard to the temple.
-
Rumors spread of an exorcism performed in the Temple of Tyr. Apparently, some fiends tried to stop it, but all fighting remained in the temple and out of the streets. No serious injuries were reported.
-
Rumor has it that a single cougar was found thrown atop a spear that had had one end burried in the ground on the plains east of the city. Was obvious it just didn't end up that way through usual occurence.
-
Word is bandied about that an elf by name of Tanin Valdar is raising an Elven Warband in Jiyyd. It is said he gathers elves to avenge the attack on the elven encampment, and to protect the Tel’Quessir by combating evils in Narfell.
-
_In the wake of last month's infernal fiasco surrounding the trial and execution of ex-Senator Syne Bloodmist (a name that apparently came to light during the elf's own testimony,) an increased Defender presence has been seen about the city. Whether these valiant soldiers are capable of combatting the threats facing the Jewel of the Icelace, only time will tell…
On a curiously different note, Peltarch's numerous brothels appear to have suffered an increased Guard presence since Syne's trial. Although this might not be good for business, the guards seem bound and determined to protect the patrons from... something._
-
_*Shorlty after the end of the Cvil War, thousends of workers took up their tools, not only to restore the city to its glory, but alsi to commence construction on the very icelace lake itself.
In the time to come, work was continued almost non stop. Citiezens of Peltarch marvled, as an artificial island, a fortress rose up from the icelace lake.
And now, several years after the end of the destructive Civil War, a mighty fortress stands where it before was open water.
The completion of the Peltarch Defenders Headquarters has come.
In the following days, nummerous defenders are seen in the city, transporting material and other goods to the new fortress using the bridge leading to it from the north of the Civic District, behind the City Hall
Though the fortress is not yet fully operationeble, the General and his staff has already taken positions inside it*_
-
Somewhere near nightfall, Major Lyte of the Legion is seen entering the Peltarch Civic District, with a heavily cloaked and hooded elf behind her, both looking heavily burned, and covered in soot and ash. The elf seemed to be carrying someone in his arms, but was careful to keep his cloak wrapped around them at all times. Both Lyte and the elf were seen to head immediately to the Temple of Tyr, to talk with High Priestess Daisy. After many hours, Lyte and Sy’wyn, easily recognized with his hood now down on his shoulders, are seen to depart the temple and head south, both still looking slightly toasted. Sy’wyn is not seen carrying anyone upon their departure.
-
Sy'wyn and Lyte were seen briefly in the Civic District carrying an unconcious woman to the Temple of Tyr. They left a few hours later, the woman has not been seen since.
-
Zyphlin returns from a short trip to Damara on buisness to hear the news
Oh bloody hell. I was telling them for years that he was with Zargothis and everyone laughed at me. Then i tell them for months now "Don't kill him, it will fulfill what he wants done". So what do they do, kill him. Bloody wonderful…well, no time for playing the blame game i guess, time to finally tie up the loose ends of this whole thing...
-
Word has it that Talgrath plans to hunt down the former senator and end this once and for all.
-
In his cell, the Hoarran knight was seen sitting against the wall, still weraring his large armor, which is embedded with furrs and coupled with a large lined cloak at the back to protect from the recent cold winters, is heard commenting coldly with a frown:
"This is what you get when you do not kill the guilty and the sinfull when you have the chance."
He was then rumored to have smirked comfortably, closed his eyes and relaxed his head against the cell wall as the city allegedly erupted in total chaos.
-
Magistrate Barrim, after the trial and the results of the execution was seen heading away from the devilish assault upon the district of the city frowing at his wounds and burn marks on his armour from the arrows of the devil women. After strapping his wounds and resting for a day he is to be found in the city libraries determined to discover an infallable means of execution for future use for such serious crimes.
He was heard to thank Meril for his explanation on what these women were, after their assault and their subsequent defeat.
"Things from everywhere apart from here seem to be popping up everywhere, Lizard Demons, Devil women, Demons in the gypsy camp. Just who in this region is the expert on these… "outsiders", whoever is we need to find out what should be done about them" - he is heard to mention to various military officers following those days.
-
After Senator Syne's trial, during which he murdered yet another woman in cold blood, the execution should have been a formality. Instead, yet more blood was spilt at the despicable monster's hands as he summoned a legion of undead and demons to cover his escape!
Amidst the cackling and the huge fangs he sprouted, the pale and alluring elf was heard to threaten the innocent maidens of the city with much and excruciating vengeance. Once more this madman, this mad thing is on the loose. No-one is safe.
((Disclaimer:: Wasn't there, none of this may be true, I heard it from a friend who says he saw it all))
-
_A tired and weary traveller carrying a light pack is seen entering through the south gates of Peltarch and into the commons. moving on to retire to the inn for the night, through the dust on his tunic, only one thing is clear…a silver chain with scales set upon a warhammer attached to it and a battered practice mallet hanging from his belt.
The next morning, he is seen descending and returning to the commons, dressed in a simple white tabard bearing the heraldry of the order of the merciful sword and a fresh suit of leather armour underneith. A black gauntlet on his right hand and the same amulet of scales set upon a hammer is clearly visible in the morning sun. Approaching the guard once more, he seeks out directions to the temple of Tyr then departs with a curtious nod.
A candlemark later, he is seen offering morning prayer infront of the shrine of Tyr, intoning a soft verse in the name of the Even handed. After Morning prayers are concluded, he rises and approaches one of the priests waiting until they have a free moment from their duties to introduce himself as a knight aspirant of the merciful sword, dispatched from Arabel by the Chief justice to the temple in Peltarch to continue his training and to offer his service to the temple in a manner befitting Tyr._
