Word spreads around the camp about the anceint Romani people
-
The following is an excerpt from a letter written and delivered to the King of the Gypsy Camp by messenger:
Your Majesty,
I believe I have some insights that may assist you. I have been hearing some rumors circulating of a lost book that holds the key to your history and the history of your people.
I am a symbologist of Deneir and I have come to the Narfell region to research a book that I am writing on the symbolism of the area and how it relates to modern times. I fear that your camp is of special interest and you all may be in grave danger.
Early in my research I made an important discovery. I had the epiphany, undoubtably from Deneir Himself that the land of Narfell is a vortex of strange powers, a hotspot if you will of supernatural occurances. Your camp represents an important piece of understanding this puzzle.
((Here is a drawing of a sword))
If you look at the drawing above, you will most likely see the common symbol of a sword, a symbol that almost universally represents power and might. It also represents bloodshed and turmoil. Now if I alter the symbol slightly you may notice something else indeed.
((Here is a drawing of a sword with a circle at both ends of the hilt, one at the handle, and one at the tip))
Do you see the difference? Here, look at this one:
((Here the circles are labeled. At the handle, the circle says "Norwick", the hilt's circles say "Gypsy Camp" and "Jyidd", the point says "Peltarch"))
Now you perhaps see it. It is an exact map of the Narfell region with Narfell's major areas of inhabitation represented by the circles. There are other areas of inhabitation as well in Narfell, but these points show the most populated. I came upon this discovery early on. Now I have had another important revelation that has direct impact upon your people.
If you consider that the region of Narfell is laid out upon a symbolic sword, in a North-South direction, then your camp and it's peoples live upon the Left-Hand side of the hilt of the sword.
As you may know wise-one, the left-hand side has historically been used to represent evil and malice. In this already hugely symbolic area, full of innate power, your settlement has been built upon the area that is literally the source of evil in the lands.
Now I am not saying at all that you or your people are evil. But I do know from what I have heard that your camp is very old, ancient even. I do believe that the powers that brought your people to this area to settle may not have had your best interests in mind.
I pray for your safety and the continued survival of your Great Family. I hope that I am wrong in what I am coming to believe in more and more as I continue my research into the area's powers. I pray that your great camp was not built upon evil lands and that it's placement in the Great Sword of Narfell does not negatively impact your existence. I simply felt the need to inform you of this.
I am available if you wish to explore this symbolism further.
Yours truly and humbly,
Robert of Norwick
Symbologist to Deneir

Between spending time at the forge and going on mining trips, Surtan hears of this book and the group going to find answers
Yah, I not great warrior, but I will do what's needed to help. Ya have my hammer and bow.
After making his intentions known, Surtan makes his way back to the canp to continue his training

::rumors spread throughout the camp that the book has been returned and a bit of history from time passed has been revealed, camp members look on around the camp fires to hear the tales::

Cotton nods to Elrin as she stands watching the other gali's reactions
Aye..Klazy.. the oath
-
Klaz looks to Elrin with a grin. _"Looks like we nah have to use those gauntlets after all … but we still need ev one who is keeping the camp at number one to help. "
"The Gypsy Oath. Yip yup yop."_
-
:;nods:: I will be there. Count on it.

tris would happily offer her blade to aid the people of the camp
-
Shrugs
e> I suppose I will be there to defend the family and its extensions the Gali.
Pauses for a moment thinking when was the last time he got anyone into trouble and of all the mishaps and dangers others have brought.

Fadien is seen standing to the left of her brother Sy'wyn, speaking softly in elvish to him, her bow in her hand.
I know not how much help I can be brother, but this is our second family and we must protect them. You have my support always. Ask anything of me and I will obey…and so will Bow, I will make sure of it. I will seek out the rest of the of Our family and discuss this with them.
Slipping away as silently as she can, she steps in the shadows seeking out Bow, Alvar and the rest of the Blackwood clan.

(((that's 4am GMT right? Serina would love to come, signing, rhyming and generally cheering people along, but its a tad too late for me
)))
-
Belade promises to travel with them
OOC: can't be on then, just take that she's there for moral support (and to whack the occasional baddie over the head)
-
Penny nods sternly when she hears Elrin's request for aid.
"I'd be 'appy ta do what I kin do ta 'elp, darlin'…"
-
_Some of the more well-known Gali such as Cotton, Kaona, Arandor, Klaz, and Sy have been seen and heard moving about camp, asking for help from their fellow Gali. They speak of attempting to seek out the spirit of the High Priest Ashkali, to find the answers so desperately needed….
The five Gali stress the importance of this matter greatly, and strongly urge all other Gali to help in any way possible. They tell everyone that they will meet with the spirit in a few days time... ((this coming sunday, 11pm est))The elder camp members watch and listen closely to the Gali's response to this request for help..._
