Jiyyd Rumors
-
//It should be noted that the Legion members and the friends of the sacrificing Paladin all told her to stop, that someone else said that they in fact were the one that took the head, and not the Paladin, which I took into consideration deciding to go out and stop them from killing her, and Rolan made it very clear that he and I were attacking the giants, while the sacrificing Paladin was still in town. She knew we were going.
Rolan and Lyte followed her immediately, hoping to save her, within a couple of seconds of the girl.
The giants were certainly not retreating when Rolan and Lyte attacked them…they were massed in a huge pile pressed against the Jiyyd doors, just as close to being within the town as is physically possible without actually being in...perhaps ready to make another demand or assault, and the guard in question would not know this, being busy....elsewhere.
Lyte points out, with great conviction, that evil giants cannot be trusted, at all, with anything they say. The giant attacked the original party in the first place, after all, and the one in town kept escalating it's demands....first it demanded a head, then it killed a nearby citizen who was standing nearby, then, when the head was delivered, it did not leave, but demanded a victim...and the giant never stated that the giants would leave the town alone, even if the Paladin gave her life.
Lyte wonders what the complaining guard would have done if Rolan and Lyte had not initiated the attack, and the giant had returned once more, as it appeared they were about to do, demanding that a council member's child next be tossed out the gates.
While Major Lyte takes full responsibility, and is saddened, that more deaths resulted as a result of her and Rolan's charge, she points out that it was a decision that had to make instantly, if there was any hope of saving the brave Paladin walking out to her doom. If there had been time, she would have tackled the lady, //I typed this as she stepped through//, or told those weaker adventurers to wait in town, but, there was no time, and she did what she deemed best against an aggressive, evil, completely untrustworthy foe, who did indeed show no signs of leaving, but were bunched against Jiyyd's gates when she engaged them, as if to rush the town after slaughtering the Paladin.
"It is easy", she points out, "to make post battle, well thought-out observations after the battle is long over, but this was an instance where a decision had to be made in the course of one or two seconds, and the Paladin could hear, before she left, what they were about to do. She could have elected to draw her blade and wait a moment to fight along with us, but did not…and this was her choice, just as it was mine to decide to defend Jiyyd with my blade, and the choice of others who followed after us into the horribly dangerous range of the Giant's foul weapons."
she shakes her head seriously
"I do not shirk my responsibilities as a Major in the Legion and as a citizen of Jiyyd, but find it sad that a guard who is off somewhere measuring the coin in his pouch against the bravery in his heart tells complete untruths about what it was the giants were doing when Rolan and I attacked them, and the nature of the intent and the timing of our charge after the Paladin."
Major Lyte goes to seek out the Lady who walked out into the giants wrath to have a quiet talk with her about this battle

@3431924652=Uthger:
The town guards appear "grumpy". They talk of a party bringing a severed Giant head into town. Hours passed and more giants came apparently following the trail. Many died, but one of the persons bringing the head into town sacrificed herself for her mistake to stop the fighting. As the giants retreated, several legionnaires charged and attacked causing even more deaths rendering the woman's sacrifice pointless. The guards have reported the incident to the council for further review
I was one of those legionnares that died
There has been a rumor saying that all the creatures have formed an alliance and forming a plan all together for another attack to Jiyyd. The reason is not known yet.

Those who frequent the Temple of Helm have commented about often having a feeling of being watched. Though odd, they say the sensation feels benevolant. Quickly it's believed to be a blessing from Helm.
Some of those same people also claim to have seen a very translucent and misty spirit moving about all of Jiyyd.

_Returning from Norwick, Sil spreads word among the townfolk of Jiyyd and the travelers in the Whore that much of the town of Norwick seems to have been taken over by the servants of the crystals - Slaves of a magical phenomenon that enslaves those unfortunate to come into contact with the magic crystals.
She emphatically warns against traveling to Norwick and encourages the citizens of Jiyyd and the refugees of the Romani camp to work together to plan a defense against an attack on Jiyyd._

After several trespassers into the barbarian lands south were deposited in the town, a messenger was sent informing all of the town that visitors are no longer allowed and the tribe has cut all ties with outsiders.

Word spreads that the Eastlanders are in a civil war, and that one side wants control of the Nars while the other side wishes peace with the towns of Narfell

A young apprentice is seen announcing in Jiyyd that there is yet again a new Keeper of Spellweavers Keep.
Chaevre' Vaelen has been assigned Keeper of Spellweavers Keep.

_One day an old man enters the Whore and tells a confusing tale about chickens, legions, generals and half-orcs. It seems to concern General Grag, who accidentially stepped on one of Shantie's chickens. Unwilling to show any sign of regret, and unwilling to even think about refunding Shantie, some very confusing events followed. First, a chicken entered the gates. When it was approached by another legion member, fully armored, it attacked as if in rage. Even finding a way to pierce the armor. Grag, furious and seemingly intent at killing the chicken, charged and tried to beat it to pieces with his huge greataxe. Both legionaires then tried to beat on the tiny chicken with their huge weapons. Nimbly the chicken dodged their attacks, and managed to pierce the armor of both fighters. Finally, the two had to withdraw and the chicken used the time to disappear. Apparently to another plane. Rumors are ripe about whether this chicken was the chicken-spirit, a demon-chicken or maybe even only a transformed druid.
Anyway, after these events, Grag suppoeseldy decided to fight chickens with a more efficient weapon. Fire. He went to Shantie's shed and slaughtered all chickens he could find. None of her precious chickens left alive, Shantie brought the matter before the council. She's been heard later muttering about a_ General Thief_._

_"Ale's good here. Really. I come all the way down from Peltarse for a pint of this stuff, don't get such a quality brew that far north. Must be the Icelace. I mean, sure the water is cold but it has over fifty thousand men, women and dwarfs pissing in it. Can't lead to a good beverage.
Anyhow, like I was saying, I come down from Peltarse quite regularly for a flagon of the Whore's finest. The other night as I was walking down the East Road, I saw the strangest thing. And I've seen some pretty strange things on the East Road lemme tell ya, took a week for that beard rash to clean up.
It was around midnight and I was picking my way quietly down the road eyes and ears open, not wanting another lusty hobber jumping me. About a hundred yards out from Jiyyd's gate, I spied myself a hobber sittin' against a tree eating a squirrel.
Now I'm a quitter not a fighter, so I hid myself in the grass and started wonderin' how I'd get around that hairy bastard without workin' up a sweat when it happened…
Up out of the grass popped this... this... apparation! About a man's height it was, black as the night 'cept it's head which was naught but a shinin' white skull! Jumped up out of the grass in front of the hobber and unleashed some kind of unearthly warcry.
"Booga Booga Booga!!!", it screamed!
Hobber dropped it's squirrel and damned near pissed itself it did. Didn't finish though, 'cause that skull thingy stuck a sword in it's belly right quick before he scarpered off. Damn strange. Damn strange....
Another ale barkeep!_

One evaning a group of leigonaires and a few others walk into jiyyd muttering about a dark enchantress. The following evaning snow settle around jiyyd and tempterures drop drasticly. A group heads out east and a few hours later retrun as the weather changes into a warm morning.

_A small procession was seen as the young elf known as Amalia was carried on a litter from the Healing shop out through the West gate.
She was exceedingly pale, and not moving. The procession consisted of several sad faced elves, a young man, and a half-orc in Legion armor. She was carried onto the road, joined by a few from Jiyyd._

Merina can be seen walking around town watching Wog with a sad face….she opens her mouth to speak several times but nothing ever comes out and she lets him walk off. She doesnt seem to talk much to any others as they pass by, sitting by herself most of the time
-
Those around town will have noticed a group of adventurers shouting to get inside due to orcs attacking jiyyd again. Rumors flood around that 3 leigonaires where captured adn one of them died trying to escape and her body was carried off. The next few days Any, known to most as Wog is looking extrememly annoyed by something and is barely speaking.
-
Rumor has it that the mysterious legend Rass the Dragon made an appearance to a group of orc hunters. Reports are confusing because the dragon could have simply slaughtered the entire crew. Instead it seems to have been toying with them. First seen outside of a cave in orc lands, it chased them back to the east road, which it promptly set on fire. One rumor says a small hin was snatched up and taken away through the skies. Other rumors say no one was harmed at all.
-
Rumors spread around town of a blond haired lass being carried out of town by Maythor. Rumor has it she tried to kill someone within the town and has been banned.
-
More orc attacks on the near east road were repelled. Obviously upset, the orcs responded with catapulting fiery rocks into the area. Cpt. Lyte of the Legion led a small team of people to disable the catapults with limited success.
-
Rumors tell of a huge dragon statue that appeared in Jiyyd and petrified curious adventurers. The rumors aren't clear on any reason for the sudden appearance and disappearance of that statue, but they seem to point to the statue as the cause (or at least, the catalyst) of magic users now being unable to cast spells in Jiyyd.

According to some whispered rumor, not so long ago, Kara summoned a devil from the pits of hell to vanquish the terrible foe. During the battle, that lasted for hours, and was shockingly quiet, the only sounds that were heard, was stones popping out of the ground, or falling from the sky. When the fight was over, the devil was slain, but the east gate of Jiyyd and a huge area around it was destroyed. Thanks to the help of a few strong men and women stones were moved to prevent a direct assault of the orcs or hobgoblins.
