::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::



  • _Roughly a tenday ago, four knights of the divine shield and the one known as Maya were seen departing the temple and heading towards the arms apartment buildings in the commerce district. Many hours were said to have passed before three knights re-emerged from the apartment buildings, two of which looked badly burned and dripping in their own blood…A further two bodies were seen to be in their arms

    The battered group eventually dragged itself back to the temple_



  • _A redhaired, muscular woman can be seen telling tales about how demons made the world wrap and forced them out and then brought horned beasts on them, enraging the poor things so that they had to fight them. Furthermore she talks about how she went into the kobold caves and stole the kobold king's most precious doll, which she can also be seen showing around if asked nicely.

    In an entirely unrelated rumor, there's talk of a tall, redhaired harlot forcing herself on people that walk unguarded side-streets._



  • _For those that travels the docks at night, it has not become uncommon to be met with a haunting melody breaking up the silence. A single flute playing a melancholy tune, repeatedly for hours on end through the dark streets, it moves around the area, never seeming to come from one specific direction, and if followed or chase, it seem to draw the person in to closed alleyways and darkened corners, where it silences for a moment before starting up in a separate direction. Always the same saddened melody. Some dock workers shudders and says it is a ghost, though nobody claims to have seen 'it'.

    For those of you with decent lore, will recognise it as an ancient Cormortyrian Wild elf melody, saying farewell to loved ones and ancestors who has left this plane._



  • _Slowly rumors begin to leak out that the voter turnout for the election was over a hundred percent and closer to a 125%, far over the average of any other election that occured and far over the actual possible turnout for the amount of papers on record. It is said that Thril was paid off by people with deep pockets to not let this be to known.

    As well, rumors begin to circulate that Enenan has seemed odd as of late, teleporting strangely into the commons and seeming slightly out of it, confused, and easily manipulated. Along with these statements, its also typiciall brought up along side them that Enenan was in charge of gathering the ballots in the civic district and was very adamant about not having anyone overlooking him.

    In the end, the Election seems to be over but the questions are not gone…_



  • Nickolai was seen being escorted to jail… nothing was said except "he's wanted"

  • A young man clad in simple scale mail and armed with a sword as tall as he is has been often seen fighting with a number of the local defender soldiers in the giantspire hills, he was seen staggering back in after one day of fighting, dripping blood. He was overheard by folk in the commons to say while repairing his damaged armour.
    "I live, thanks be the will of the high one and therefore a lesson learned"

    :: Returning to the fighters academy, he isn't seen sleeping much pouring over his fighting manual and other books on strategems and magical lore ::



  • The red-haired woman known to some as Melody can be seen excitedly telling a tale of how they went into a kobold cave, hoping to find kobold treasure and met one of their bards. But the bard sang so horribly that with his death throes he brought to life the four elements fire, earth, air and water and the greatest of their agents on the small group of sisterhood adventurers. Brave as they were, the sisters defeated those terrible threats and made sure no bad befell anyone and this bard would never again raise his voice to call forth such evil things.



  • Early in the evening, the peace of the civic distict is disturbed by a raged shout, those who were attracted by the commotion beheld the lovely barbarian woman Maya as she carried of the similarly lovely songstress Demi from the Temple of Tyr to the Defenders Headquarters, former magistrate and senatorial candidate Zyphlin in tow, followed by a somewhat distressed number of the local clergy…



  • Sir Richard Luis is seen gathering suplies for himself and saying farewell to all those that he knows. Rumors spread that he will be gone due to looking for architects for the new orphanage. Lady Ocean and Sir Richard will be interviewing all architects with in city limits and those in near by towns and regions.



  • The red-haired travellor creates a slight ruckus when a misunderstanding due to dialect causes barmaids to bring him a bucket, a bowl of peas, a small goat, and a pouch of marbles. Stomach growling, Red heads out of the city to take out his anger on the kobolds, and his hunger on an unfortunate krenshaw…whose meat was terrible, by the way.

    Returning to the inn a day later, he tosses a crippled beggar a handful of coins to give him an overview of local people and events, and then attempts to determine who is hiring that is least unsavory.



  • Roland Brynmor, Shannon D'Arneau, and Natanya, can be seen exiting the city morgue. They are barely able to stand - covered with blood and some type of ichor that is not readily placeable. They limp towards the Temple and disappear within.



  • It seems the new Senator Ashald has wasted no time in following his cousin's example, gosip already tells of meeting young women in the side streets of the Civic district.



  • On a more recent visit to the city and to City hall, Cyrian was seen carrying all of his personal posessions, later in the evening he was seen entering the mermaid Inn and requesting a room for long term stay



  • There is this vague rumor that a man that looked not unlike Rath Ashald was seen running screaming around the Civic district, chased by no other then Senator Roland Brynmor, holding his hands out in a strangling fashion, shouting something in the form of "When I get my hands on you, I'll…"



  • Rumor has it there was some shouting and arguing coming from Nico Black’s apartment. Someone was obviously banging at the door as well, and the whole episode was punctuated by a horrifying shriek. It was said Nico appeared in town later, but was obviously shaken.

    In other rumors, it’s been mentioned that Yolande has appeared in the commons, her usual blue and multicolored robes now black and gold.



  • A burly man shoulders his large pack on a hoisting-pole as he shambles through the front gates. He keeps his face locked straight ahead as he passes through the commons, his heavy armor jumbling beneath the plain cassock he has tossed over it. Slowly he makes his way through the city to the large governmental building, and emerges half an hour later, his one free hand clenching a scroll angrilly as he carries his possessions even farther across the city, until he stands before the steep steps to the Great Temple.

    With a reluctant sigh, he starts up the steps, his moustache dipping with every step, until he reaches the main landing. Looking to the acolyte on greeting duty, the dull eyes shaded from the sun show little life as he addresses the young priest.

    "Ey comb teh affer me 'ammer in sarvice teh th' pratectar an' lawgivvir."

    As he heads into the cooler recesses of the temple, his heavy footsteps on the stone floor never pause, never slow to look back.



  • Cyrian of the Norwick militia was seen entering and leaving the City Hall lately, he stayed in the city for a brief time afterwards before leaving again, though his visits to the city are exceptionally rare he was pleasant company for the time he had visited



  • A man found alive after 6 months some how the excutioner of Peltarch found a hidden a esape tunnel in the old prison that opened to a maze he only took 20 steps in before the roof came down and blocked the way he enter he was lost under the city but how can some one have lived that long is the question…
