Miss Nyda has not been seen in Peltarch in some time, rumours have it she is laid up extremely ill in Jiyyd.
-
as the senatorial campaigns start to heat up on all levels, Demi is seen less and less at the sundial, in stead spending more time behind the front desk of the Theater, or seeking refuge from the hectic city in logging expeditions elsewhere in the lands
-
the Lady Des is heard speaking at the noble feasts and balls about how she is yet to decide who to support in the election. At a celebration at the Amethyst feasthall she does express some support for her close friend Foilir Dolvak, but no official statement as of yet
-
Sir Richard Luis has been seen working tirelessly for many hours on either the War effort. Helping the defenders against eastlanders clearing the nars pass or escorting others thru the pass. When he is not conducting the above. He is seen helping Sir Thel in his information clinics passing out information of Sir Mariston Thel and answering question to the best of his ability's. Sir Richard Luis is seen a bit more tired then normal and his eyes are showing lack of sleep, he never complains. He always has a smile and a willingness to help. He comment's "As a Knight of the order of the Divine Sheild I am here to serve others and for the betterment of peltarch".

_Captain Anakore of the Knights of the Cerulean Stars has become a rare sight in the streets of Peltarch. Rumor has it his son Nickolai, who before the Crystal Crisis went to Cormyr with Skyla Vea'Draeven, is soon to return to Peltarch, and that the Captain is waiting anxiously to be with him again.
Meanwhile Anakore has redoubled his effort in mining and crafting, supposedly traveling the length of the Nars pass under the cover of Invisibility, lugging large bags of ore back to the city. Few see him in the city proper, and while he still makes time to take up the responsibilities of his position he seems to delegate most field work to his Knights, most prominently the rising star Mecizq, cleric of Mystra.
When approached about the impending elections and the fact that 3 of his more prominent Cerulean Knights are running for senator, he seems to care little and does not comment much beyond a vague statement that "the ones throwing the most cash will win"._

A large brawl erupts in the Docks District between some dwarves and some regular looking dock workers. A large group of Guards arive quickly after the fighting starts and arrests many of the participants.
-
It's said that recently a few members of the Black Sails along with others. Were seen decending by rope into a hole that opened up in the Peltarch commons. A couple hours later the group was seen climbing back out of the hole. They appeared slightly worse for wear, but nothing a meal and a hot bath couldn't take care of.
-
magistrate Re'cual has been sighted carrying an unmoving woman about along the city walls. While the men of Peltarch speak of kidnappings and murder, the women of the city seem intent that the magistrate had saved a damsel indistress
-
Rumor has it that the spawn of a red dragon was sighted in the pass. There's even a tale about a man that was supposedly eaten by the dragon but since that man's still alive, most people just tell the story for laughs.
-
A man bearing the armor and gait of the executed criminal Arthus Goldmoon was seen walking through Peltarch, alive and apparently well.
-
_It was whispered among many as a very public arrest was made of the well known annoying scruffy bard. Supposed charges were "Harbouring of a Number of Demon Summoners" and "Obscuring Justice". Mirkali was much surprised, and quite surprised even more when the old "knight" (who's feature would Identify as Mecziq, if people knew his features well enough) himself said that both Magistrates had ordered his arrest. More information was not given during the arrest. There was also much argument from Mirk's fiance, along with murmurs of those surrounding the guards surrounding Mirk.
Mirk eventually said he'd go along with it, this time, as he figured it's the usual nonsense of thick-noggin politicians and army buffs._.
-
Drelan Ashire has been in many places seeming not to hide that he's taking bids for a new set of armor he needs. Evidentally he's looking for high end quality.
Bids and inquiries are asked to be dropped by his office in the docks.
((ooc: pm me via forums or find him IG))

Peltarch can be an expensive city to get anything done in. Let me know what exactly you want done and one of the local scribes may be able to help you. Be sure to include the quality of workmanship you are looking for.
A hardback leather bound book with gold leaf inset perfect bound pages made of a cotton blend (probably close to 400 gold) is far different from a cloth and wood cover with spiral threaded parchment (more or less 40 gold).
-
((OOC: the DMG lists a scribner's services as 3 sp a day. How much they could copy in a day is debatable I suppose. Also… the DMG pays its NPCs extremely poorly, considering the cost of goods. For instance a pound of sealing wax is 1gp, a single parchment is 2s, and a 1 oz vial of ink is 8gp... are we really to believe a scribe must work almost a month to buy an oz of ink? Anyway, that's the DMG's guidlines, I'm no offical.))
-
A note is attatched to the wall of the Mermaid, written in a neat, bold script:
Competent scribes are wanted, to copy books and take dictations. Craftsmen who are competent in the art of bookbinding are wanted as well. The payment for this service includes coin and possibly magical instruction. Speak with Genzir Malark if you are interested.
OOC: if somebody, a DM perhaps, could suggest a price for copying books (how much per book) I'd be grateful.

Hjoichi Olsen has been seen near various entrances to the sewer of late…. sometimes in converse with a young elven woman... sometimes on his own.
-
_After engaging in a legthy discussion with the two Banites, a scruffy looking character, one many people have seen begging in the streets, Headed for the temple.
After some time in the temple, he emerged, headed straight for the for the snowy creek just to the south of Peltarch, and immersed himself in the freezing water. Some travellers noticed that he stayed there praying till dawn the next day._
-
Following the public speaking of two banites it is reported that the one called Rando was seen making threats inside the mermaid. The two banites in question were reported to be clergy spreading the word of their faith in the commons during the morning.
-
_Word has it that the elf that was so recently seen quizzing dockworkers and caravaneers alike is now to be found recouperating in an upstairs room of the Dancing Mermaid Inn itself.
It seems that he wandered in and paid for a room shortly after sundown looking somewhat the worse for wear, his clothes scuffed, hair a mess and sporting a fresh black-eye. Though he made no effort to hide the smile plastered across his face_
