Jiyyd Rumors
-
_Anyone taking a jaunt into the plains south of Jiyyd will notice an unusually high number of corpses laying around, many with numerous bolts sticking out of them, and many others with little dual gouges out of spots on their bodies.. as if they were bitten by something quite small, yet nasty.
Hin tracks seem to be everywhere, mixed in with the tracks of the scavengers and animals and giant insects of these parts. Seems someone took it in their hands to try and single-handedly clear these lands.
Whispers of those few scavengers left alive speak of a small ghost-child dressed all in black, laughing low and maniacally right before a bolt came screaming through the air, and a tiny flying demon creature tore into their companions.
What is it that stalks the plains when no-one else is looking?_
-
_Several large groups of undead attacked the Legion positions on the Long Road recently, and rumor has it that one of the Legion Privates was killed and taken by them.
A large and disparate group put the undead down, but afterwards, there is talk that an undead emissary spoke of seeking a certain song._
-
It was late one evening when a battered and bloodied Kull, Thaeon and Dentin entered the town. What was most unusual was that Dentin carried the dead body of a hobgoblin to the healer for treatment and burial, and seemed to do so with some respect for the dead hobber.

A couple of posters are placed on walls around Jiyyd, they advertise a
@045dfd028d=[size=18:045dfd028d:((If there's fees to be paid, please contact me (Pavel) about these))

It is the talk of the Royal about Grag paying for a room for a wee lady and then later demanding that he be given a spare key as well.
The room, in the morning, was a disaster area.
The small lady, Cal Sighte, is an enchantress of magical gems and stones. While she had the shop open for one day she was gone the next.

A group of at least ten hins were seen strolling around town, and then storming the legion hall. what went on in there is unknown, but, that was a lot of hins. Rumours spreads they all walked back into town a while later and headed straight towards the valley where drinking songs, pie, and dancing seems to have occured.
-
A rather large group, consisting of Black Sails (some claim that the sails Sabre and Pavel were accompanied by the miniature troll Mercy, but others claim that the town doesn't stink even half as bad it should be, had it passed through), a woman some might know as Winter, Rose's lapdog Ronan , the wizard Ezachiel and the Legionaire Theaon, ventured into the Swamps, for reasons can only guess at (the best guesses are probably gold or rumours of earlier trouble).
They left the swamp not much later, some of them looking a bit shocked, but generally in good spirits.

_On an otherwise quiet day, Dentin and Rhistin headed out of the east gate. Not long after, Dentin returned carrying the rather dead body of Rhistin into the healer's building. Once again alive, Rhistin and Dentin emerged some time later, joining Kull and Thaeon in a meeting with a mysterious black-clad man at the gates. Apparantly the leader of the worgs in the cave east of Jiyyd, there was a discussion between the two parties, which revolved around some sort of exodus of the worg pack, and the nature of the black-clad man.
Tensions ran hot, but in the end no incident took place. The man returned east, and word is quickly spread troughout town that miners should avoid the
caves east of Jiyyd until the pack there has moved on into the mountains.Exactly when this will be, remains unclear._

A moon elf in noble-looking clothing was looking for Ginger Tealeaf; he was talking about some creatures called "Fey'ri" which he described as "demonic elves". The elf was also seen examining the menhirs in the area; casting spells and writing in a notebook.
-
_It would seem that the trolls have caused some trouble around Jiyyd. Yesterday General Theaon of the Troff Legion and a dwarven female in Peltarch Defender armor were seen fighting off a few trolls who left the swamp. Just moments after those trolls were defeated a scream was heard coming from the west. The cattle by the west gate were found dead and Shantie's body laid before a troll half eaten. A few seconds later the slimey bastard troll got what it deserved and the body of Shantie was last being seen taken to Vroka's.
Some may say the dwarven female lead the trolls out of the swamp by provoking them. Others may say the trolls just wanted to eat people._

Rumour has it that after being gone for nearly two months, Ezachiel returned to Jiyyd, closely resembling a homeless guy, beard and everything. Some say that he headed straight to the inn, got himself a cheap room, and locked himself in for 24 hours. Some might say that he was just really tired, others might state that he had to contact his diabolical masters. Either way, after 24 hours, he emerged looking a bit better. He still has a beard, but atleast it doesn't look like a bird's nest anymore. Some rumours even say that he is looking to find and talk to his friends, especially the rare few gali he is on speaking terms with.
-
Rumor has it that the Elven Amywen and the Hin Juster were seen to be talking not far from the commons area in Jiyyd. Words were exchanged for better or worse and the Elven woman was remarkably seen to be bolting from the town apparently in tears while the hin was left behind quite shaken and pale from thier conversation.
-
Rumour has it that Danaley, Juster and Ginger were snooping around in the tunnels under the well looking for half a set of full-plate and lost Netherese treasure. The trio returned to Jiyyd and recounted to Finnius and patrons of Healing Wonders how they destroyed a shrine of Talona deep in the tunnels. The two lucky hins looked healthy, but Finnius treated Danaley for multiple ills. It's rumoured that all the tunnels now hold are a pile of rubble, the stench of decay, and half a dozen dead gargoyles.
The hins seemed optimistic that the curse on the community has been lifted and the pipeweed crops of the Silver Valley will see a bountiful harvest. Yondalla be praised.
-
The blight continues to affect the crops and animals in Jiyyd, whispers in the Inn soon turn to the thought that a curse has been placed on the town. Worried farmers nurse their ales as the contemplate the poor harvest this season and deeper concerns for the health of their families. The blight seems to have brought with it an increase in ill health.
-
_Some of the town folks are heard whispering of talking white wolves who seem to be peaceful near the town, others simply laugh at such a thing occuring, knowing all white wolves are evil, some not even believing they talk.
Others along the road east of town talk of shapes moving in the darkness, humanoid, yet not quite, the fear of werewolves around town is rampant, women hold their babies close and most men seem to be carrying some sort of weapon at night.
It is known that one casualty happened at the teeth of the white wolves, a legion archer near the plains, after apparently the wolves were attacked for no reason by two humans and a half orc and went looking for the ones who killed their pack, or so the story goes._
-
Shortly after the wererat inccident, Theaon and Lector were seen heading under the well with their holy symbols in their hands. Lector was heard commenting on how wererats disease the water and how it needed purified. About an hour later the two priests were seen climbing out of the well.
-
The crops in Jiyyd have a poor harvest this season affected by a blight, mould covers the leaves of the plants causing many to rot and whither away.
With the poor harvest it also seems that many of the townsfolk have fallen victim to various illnesses. The healing wonders begins to see a good number of customers as the need for cures far exceeds what can be provided.
-
Rumour spreads about the Rats and Bats craziest new ingredient.. winged gnoll.
-
Word spreads of a war machine that killed a few people in the night.
-
General Theaon can be seen on the eastern outskirts of the Jiyyd farmland directing the workers and showing them various blueprints. Legion troops are also seen proving protection for the workers as they do their job.
