::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
A tall redhead tells those people who are willing to listen a crazy story about how wizard, dressed in all the colors of the rainbow appeared in the middle of the market and turned everyone present into statues of stone. According to her tale, it wasn't much later that a woman in a blood red robe appeared, rising her staff and stopping the vile magics of the wizard and then er the um wizard er disappeared er again um and er the um witch er tried um to er turn er the um people er back er but um turned er them er into um kobolds um so er she um left er in um shame er too um.

Hearing the news Zyphlin simply blinks a bit, looking over at the guards, then back to the person spreading the news, and sighs before asking for a bit more than "pale elf" though his guess is already pretty set.
You know. You think guards and senators would be able to recognize a man that was a former senator, inquisitor, long time citizen, and man found guilty of treason and I don't know…..not have civil conversations chatting about the weather with them in the middle of the commons.
Its a sad, sad thing what happened to those people...but I truly can't blame Nat for actually reacting to an enemy of the state just chatting in the commons.
The families of the poor men excluded, half the people ridiculing the poor paladin right now would probably be condemning her for not acting if all of a sudden he started summoning forth demons in the commons. Nothing like being damned either way...
-
_Rumors spread about a violent conflict in the commons between a pale elf and one of the members of the temple of Tyr.
It seems that as the elf and Senator Ashald were conversing, the woman from the temple came up to the elf shouting threats and taunts.
The elf retaliated by killing her, Senator Ashald, Guard Lisa, and two bystanders that did not get out of the way in time.
Later on the guard and a group of defenders arrived at the scene with High priestess Daisy, who used her incredible power to bring Senator Ashald and the girl back from the dead.
She was heard reprimanding the girl for her actions.
Within a few days of the incident, Guard Lisa was once again seen patroling the commons. The two dead innocents were given an honorable funeral funded by High Priestess Daisy.
The families of the dead men however are rumored to be fuming, denouncing the temple and everything it holds dear._
-
Some commoners speak of a weird sight, crazy red-haired women running around the commons, laughing gleefully, admiring and talking about things that were not really there, obviously believing they were in a forest. Apparently they left later, looking more or less confused but still happily smiling.
-
A very tall woman, with platinum blonde hair and light complexion was seen stepping off the recent caravan from Heliogabalus, and asking for Kanen Hightower and Zyphlin. She was seen later in the company of Natanya near the Temple of Tyr and the local markets.
-
Sir Richard Luis is seen back from orphanage matters he was attending to. His first day back he was almost slayed by a gnoll ambush which he did not know that the gnolls toke over the pass and a orc magi. his comment of those events.
"First day back I almost get an axe over the head by a gnoll and torched by a orci magi. Never a boring day in narfell I tell you."
-
People in the market today observed a weird thing, Perin the halfling merchant of many trinkets was seen fleeing the place, screaming for his life. Those that looked to where he ran from saw a tall red haired woman and a pixie happily chuckling and laughing.
-
At least one evening every week, the young man some or many know as Elor, has been sitting on the steps of the temple of Tyr with a small pile of books. A temple guard never far away, he sits reading quietly and watching the city folk go about thier business, until finally approached by some of the street urchins. As he lights up the childrens' days with stories, songs and magical tricks, more and more come to see the free entertainment. While many of the older citizens smile, those familiar with his history frown, gather the children away and ultimately drive the bard back into the temple.
But this never stops him from coming out again a few days later, always with new tales to tell and songs to sing.
-
An explosion rocked the dock district, some say an illegal still back fired, others speak of poor ventillation of the sewers. However the result was a short shower of s*** for most of the city. Folk worry about disease as the sewers empty. Rumours abound of many bodies floating in the harbour, garbed in red.
-
Eluriel, Meril and Mecizq wander into Peltarch from kobold lands. They're covered in dust and little chips of stone scatter across the cobbles once in a while. Defenders back from duty in the foothills might even have heard them talking about a cockatrice.
-
The magistrate has been seen hand-delivering a private letter to the guard HQ, and states to well respected ex-guard colleagues of his during his fifteen years in the guard.
"Ah, the young need guidance. I think at this rate i might have to offer those advisory recruitment guidelines to General Dunderstone, as the city is certainly short of mature and level headed recruits. Perhaps a formal guard-training regime could be set up"
:: He exchanges pleasantries with long standing officers he knows well, and talks about old-times ::
-
Rumours spread that Magistrate Barrim have ordered the release of the banite Nickolai, ruling it as not peltarch's business. Tongues alike wag about what secret relationship could possibly lie between the magistrate and the banites.
-
Rumor spreads that the banite known as Nickolai was seen exiting the prison recently, and soon exiting peltarch.
-
Next to this simple parchment is a birds feather with a glowing blue strand of silk tied around its base
-
left on the shrine of Tempus in the Defender Headquarter temple, is a sheet of parchment with what seems to be a child's practice of the common alphabet written on it. The sheet was rolled up and tied by human hair, some blonde strands entwined between some pink strands
-
Nyda chuckles when she hears the rumours.
"Amazing what people will believe. What I said was that the man had -asked- me to defend him and could I review the casenotes. In any event in light of the fact all the charges are true 'Defense' seems hardly the appropriate word."
-
Rumors spread that the newely elected Senator Aarron Ashald's advisor Nyda is planning the defense of a man admitting to have been part demonic and working with demons in and around Peltarch.
-
_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._
