Jiyyd Rumors
-
Once word of the attack reaches the camp, a tall blonde warrioress sets off towards Jiyyd with long, easy strides. Ragnhild soon arrives at the Guardian Sanctuary east of Jiyyd and frowns, inspecting the damage to buildings and lands. She kindly hands out her own coal-coated cooking to any farmers desperate enough to accept such offerings, and leaves word with the Legion that she will be staying at the sanctuary for the time being, aiding in the defense of the town.
-
For some time after the battle, Z is seen patrolling the eastern farmlands with a huge water elemental.
With a shovel in one hand and a holy symbol in the other, he spends the next couple of days helping the farmers put out the remaining fires and blesses each field in the name of Chauntea.
In addition, rumor has it, that a large sum of gold was captured from the giants and was promptly donated to help the farmers rebuild their farms and replant their crops.
((Thanks for a great event!!! DrD and Lucid))
-
In the aftermath of the attack, Dentin has spent a good amount of time around Jiyyd, putting out fires and repairing what could, calling on Gond's Mending occasionally. He often mutters about the constant threats.
-
Word as it that Major kull was arrested. And his beeing held in the Legion cells. It seems that after a long discussion, general Theaon gave the arrest order for desobeying orders and insuburdination

_The eastern part of town is now laying in ruins, the burnt out husks of what once used to be the homes of the citizens now filter smoke into the air as they smolder. The farms on the east road have a similar fate and some farmers are moving into town while they rebuild their homes..
After a high alert of an army orcs on the plain, which turned out to be only scarecrow orcs, the real threat came from the snow goblins of the mountains as a whole army marched on Jiyyd, burning homes, slaughtering the citizens as the brave defenders were off on the plains getting ready to fight the fake orc menace.
The citizens will rebuild as always, yet now they seem worried.. there is no mindless army of orcs at their gates, there is a cunning and massive army of white goblins, even reinforced by small units of frost and hill giants to worry about.
The day was won by Jiyyd and its defenders, but not without a cost.. a new threat now faces Jiyyd and it people.. the drums of war can be heard in the mountains._

_As the morning sun rose, a gruesome sight was seen outside the Sisterhood. Several bodies of Banite Blackguards lay, them having been 'touched' by the Dark Enchantress. Rumor says Jerr made some kind of deal with undead woman for keeping these banites from ruining the day.
Inside the house, endless laughter and joy was heard as the wedding of Nicahh and Aelhaearn proceeded with only one objection by a one eyed man not seen in this land for a very long time, Milshot. After it was all said and done, people were seen staggering out of the Sisterhood, their bellies full of drink and food, and music on their lips._
-
Nicahh, finally home from a trip, is seen asking around Jiyyd about the babies left at the Sisterhood doorstep. She is seen offering rewards to any that can offer information about where the babies are from and how they came to be at the Sisterhood.

*General Grag and the legion is seen bringing in many livestock to help aid the town in its most recent loss. It was rumored sthe livestock was all eaten by grag by some others say it was definatly the snow goblins to the east…
-
The town is abuzz with the news that six babies were left at the sisterhood doorstep. The best trackers claim that there were no people walking to or from the door in the night that the babies were dropped off.
5 boys and one girl, all looking similar, human, happy and healthy, about 8 months old

There were some curious happening is the swamp as a group returned from the troll lands. News about ooze, acid, dwarves with prodding arrows and many hopeful faces wanting to get out a powderkeg for fireworks. Many explosions could be heard from within the swamp. Cries of victory lamented in song as the apparent threat was vanquished.

For a while it seemed to be quite a pleasant evening, before the posters appear. The young brunette Asha, known as Ragnhild's adopted daughter to some, excitedly telling the story of how she fought trolls. Trolls! She usually goes into an explanation of how gruesome those gigantic creatures look, covered in warts, stinking of rot and decay… like a swamp she says. And they're covered in mud and moss! It's apparent quickly enough that she didn't defeat the described pack of trolls herself, and she's readily admitting that she hid while Theaon, Sil and Kull turned the trolls into writhing heaps of flesh and then they didn't even shiver. She goes on to say she stayed with Thorn in the back but also proudly exclaims:
"I shot arrows at them! And… and like more than one hit true! And I think it hurt them! One even fell over and lay on the ground, my arrow hit so hard it shook from the force! Even after it had fallen over!
"And when we were like leaving, I was so curious about the large monster that I had lingered and Theaon told me to run because there was that troll coming and it had like not seen me. But Theaon screamed I should run. So I like did. And it cast that weird spell like it wanted to make me think Kull was a giant. But I knew Kull wasn't, you know? And so I just ran on and then Theaon and Kull beat up that troll too!"
Asha also goes into quite some detail on how Kull heaved his axe up and then hacked away at the trolls, severing them so thoroughly even the famed regenerating powers of trolls seemed helpless in the path of Kull's evoked fury! It was however not until short after their return to Jiyyd proper that Rando turned up and the mood turned hostile between those present at the time.

Posted outside the Sisterhood on the sign posts and fence, and promptly replaced should copies go missing, is the following sign, a copy of a correspondence attached to it:
@4a55629c17:
WANTED BY PELTARCH: RANDO
@4a55629c17:
Barrim,
I was not aware he was wanted b y your people nor was I aware he was alive. In order to keep relations good between us and to not harbor a wanted man feel free to post some guards here and arrest him with full Jiyyd cooperation if we se ehim again. Furthermore let it also be known he was sentanced to murder for his crimes in Norwick if that means anything to you.
In Tyr's Name,
GragMay the good citizens of the land see fit to bring this wanted man in to face his charges.

One quiet night, a strangely familiar song, sung in an ethereal soprano, drifts over the town of Jiyyd.
-
Two rather young women visited Jiyyd's fire and the sisterhood recently, they speak of a drider they saw on the old battlefield and there's even mention of a drow attack on the sisterhood. Despite the shouts of a dying man, there seem to be no victims to mourn for now. The good news is, that Nicahh delivered a captured drow to the legion halls.
-
_The quiet of Jiyyd was recently disturbed when a small group of Sails visited. Some might remember the man who was rather sparsely clad despite the cold weather because he seemed intent to show people little sketches drawn on paper. The sketches were mostly just a mess of lines, with some goodwill figures or forms recognizable. The funny part about the sketches seems to be, though, that the man some know as Pavel starts to explain at length what parts of those messes mean. Usually it turns out it was meant to be a caricature of some sort, though quite often it seems more fun to laugh at the man than with him. In either case, he doesn't seem to mind, laughing or chuckling with everyone, either unaware or unbothered.
On a more serious note, Pavel also seems curious about people's motivations for fighting and their ways to fight. If he sees someone of potential ((i. e. all player characters with int 10+)), he asks them if they liked to share their knowledge on fighting. If they express curiosity, he asks their name and tells them to wait for word from him._

Along the main towns in the nars, all bards sing in the main inns, the tale of three adventurers that go about by the mighty warrior KULL, and the druids Sald and Belia for defending norwick from a possible undead attack. The bards sing about the bravery shown by both Sald and Belia for fighting dozens of undead minions and last but not least their chieftain, they sing about the epic will to resist all the temptions and offers of unlimited power offered by the very master of the undead

Although she hasn't commented on the changes with the council, Kara can be seen to be heading for the council building with a navy blue woolen cloak. When she leaves the building some ten minutes after, she is without cloak and seems somewhat determined.
-
_A rather handsome white-haired sorcerer, known as Ronan, visits Jiyyd one day, hoping to get some peace and quiet from the usual bussle of the other towns. Upon arriving he immediately hears the latest gossip on the changes Jiyyd is going through.
He does not openly share any opinions, and his expression seems rather uncaring. But for a few key points being said, he nods his head in agreement with the changes Jiyyd is going through.
The next day he leaves Jiyyd from his "alone-time" vacation…_

((It might be a good idea to separate the posts about the new government onto a new thread as disscussions may take place pertaining to this.

_Theaon looks over the crowd and observes the various reactions to Lens's speech, he is then seen speaking with some of the Troff Legion troops
"I can understand people's doubts about a different type of government. This is a change, and to some change can be frightening. Nothing to be ashamed of, it is only a natural reaction.
Though I think a little more respect should be upheld for the new councillors. Generals Grag and Lyte have spent months planning and working out tactics to fight off Sharn's army - which turned out successfully in case you wern't aware. chuckles And Harmony has spent countless hours trying to make Norwick a better place, only to run into complications with certain others in Norwick.
People seem to think Lens made this decision all by himself. They seem to forget that the majority of the council would have to approve for this to happen. If General Grag is really as bad as some make him out to be, and that General Lyte never disagrees with him, then the council would never have chosen them. You can work WITH someone without always agreeing with that individual after all.
The old council was too big. Things wern't getting done because too many councillors would not participate in the meetings. Going from as many councillors as there were to only 3 is quite a radical change. Perhaps the new council will end up being too small, and if so I'm sure they will make the proper changes for the good of Jiyyd. This town has survived through several bloody attacks, and it will survive through this change."_
