Jiyyd Rumors
-
_Scouts who travel off the Near East road, might notice occasional corpses in the snow. They're bound and near-naked with a snowflake carved into their chests but no major injuries beyond that.
Most of the corpses are hobgoblins, some human_

Rumor has it a war patrol of Legionnaires led by Grag the Great himself headed off to the orc plains to investigate a scouting report of orc activity. Upon reaching the plains the patrol found itself pitted against a sizable orc army. Throughtout the day the patrol fought against waves upon waves of orcs, crushers, detroyers. Finally with orc bodies piled waist high and the plains running red with orc blood the patrol pushed forward against the archers that had been shooting at them opening with a large and effective ball of arcane flame. Seizing the moment and the opening in the orc forces the patrol moved forward into the breach but was then hit by the reserve orc forces of crushers and destroyers.
Battling ensued and the injuries on the patrol begun to take it's toll as the Beloved Major Lyte was stricken down and the injured were forced to pull back and regroup. Pushing forward again the Body of the Major was recovered and the patrol beat a stratgeic withdrawl back to town,
The orcs had other plans as they sent no less than a dozen magi in pursuit
of the patrol harrassing the Legion. The Magi were said to have even turned two Legionnaires into stone and their new forms were seen by mnay in town before they were hauled off to Vrokas.A few days later Lyte and the stoned Legionnaires were seen emerging from Vrokas seemingly unscathed.
((thanks to the DMs, lots of fun and to the war patrol (I will forget names so sue me) Grag, Lyte, Rolan (who makes a nice statue), Chaevre, The Fool, Amana, Sil, Zyphlin and the others I forget right now
))PS rumor spreads Vroka has a thing for statues and was quite upset when the statues were brought back to their original form.

A grand wake was held in Jiyyd, lasting well over two days and lead by the Bards Lilly and Ocean. They sang and danced and drank and talked of Eowiel's life. Played jests and pranks and in their own way expended some of the huge grief they felt. Ocean was obviously often tearful but played and sang through fourty eight hours of revellry in the name of her mentor, confidante and friend.
-
a man in earthy leathers may have been seen walking through Jiyyd during a pre-dawn drizzle with a hood pulled up against the rain and a nice bow on his back. He was only in town long enough to buy a few supplies from weary-eyed shopowners before returning the way he came, out the gate into the wilderness
-
Celdir can usually be found sitting in the common area in Jiyyd, talking to whomever is around. While not taking kindly to bullies, and plain evil, he holds no grudges against anyone. Not even Dwarves.
-
Lortaine is seen more often around Jiyyd again, restlessly patrolling the outskirts, or out by the gates, resting against the walls, her heater shield next to her and the ornate sword trust into the ground at her feet, warily scanning the horizon while causally filing her nails or putting her belongings into different orders in her bag, with a rather dark expression on her face.
Whoever adresses her about what the matter was, a reply ensues along the lines of the one stated below.Why, haven't you heard? Eastlanders are getting uppity again.. Yes, on the roads, the crossroads, just a stone's throw from here.
Attacked a group of travellers and killed several, Legion members among them, mind you; took hostages and all that.. and all over a set of armor.
Yes I know that.. I don't care if they think it's one of their own, they can state their desires and make their point clear without causing a major bloodshed!The girl clutches the holy symbol of Helm she is wearing around the neck and bares her grit teeth, angrily staring off in the distance.
I tire of this.. best be on your way, stranger. Should they cause any more trouble you get me there immediately. I shall cut their fingers one by one.
May Helm have mercy with their wretched souls, as I will not..

_Gurt has paid a Jiyyd commoner a few coins to transcribe the following sign for him and post it next to the other notices outside The Regal Whore.
It reads as follows:_
"XXXXXXXX (this part has been scratched through several times)
To those who like eatin' and drinkin':
Due to recent events, Gurt's Homecookin' is no longer in business.
But don't fear friends! Your hungry bellies and desires to be filthy drunkards will not last for long! We will soon reopen as:Julian and Genzir's
Gurt's Homecookin'!Coming soon!
Signed Your Friend,
(a large and very crudely scrawled X is here) (Gurt)"
-
Julian can be seen at Jiyyd writing tales about Gonnar after he passed away after he promised him in the fugue.
-
Gurt can be seen, from time to time, pouring out a drink at the graves of Gonnar Domne and Lorik.
-
Rumors spread of a knight who killed a fellow that went by the name ol'jeb. Details arent really known, except there was a struggle, and at the end the half-insane old man was killed. But its debated by some to whether it was murder or an accident.
-
Word spreads of a large spider type creature spending the night at the inn in Jiyyd before heading out East towards Ormpur.
-
*_The man known to most as Wog can be seen patroling the streets with a bigger smile on his face than normal which considering he is near always smiling alot means that somthing good must have been happened.
Through the inn and other gathering spots as he passes many suggestions have been bought up with reasons for this sudden burst of cherfullness. Some suggest that he has killed something of remarkable strength, Some say he has fallen in love with another after being left again, or evan that he saved the farmlands around jiyyd from a giant fire breathing orc. Also, to a few tight circled people say that his mind has been left by the hive of evil ducks controlling him in the aim for domination (just for vine).
Few know the true reason or if it has evan been suggested yet but it is unclear just from looking. All they can tell is that something has put him in a very good mood_*

This rumour apparently caused only the second smile on Nyda's face in recent weeks that was not directed at a sister. She shook her head ruefully at the idiocy of such an idea.
-
Rumors spread that the Sisterhood is planning to build a Headquarters in Jiyyd and eventually plans to take the place of the Troff Legion, be it by peaceful or violent means.
-
Following some kind of Duel outside the town gates a few hours later Nyda walks into town dragging the victor of that duel unceremoniously by his ankle, his face raw and blook and his body badly beaten. She drags him into the healers and emerges a short while later, looking no different to how she has recently. Stopping only to pick up a very fat Tiggles and take her indoors to sleep, she settles into the commons and occassionally cries silently and seemingly unaware she is doing it.
The fallen warrior emerges some time later from the healers and spends a lot of time glaring at his feet.
-
A very sated Tiggles can be seen waddling around, for once having eat too much pie. A trail of pie tins marking her path until she finally collapses.
"Eater of Pie.. is.. vanquished.." and she passes out, a furry badger running out the inn door and licking the pie from her face and then sleeping on her stomach.
-
Rumors spread of the mysterious appearances of pies throughout Jiyyd. Many believe this is the work of an orc magi trying to poison the many pie-loving inhabitants of the valley and Jiyyd, while others think Shantie has given up on mushrooms and decided to plant pie seeds.
-
THe happy little hin watches her biggest sister, looking rather unhappy as she watches unseen despite how Nyda's mood seems to pick up slightly as she comes near. As often as she can, she trails Nyda like a little shadow trying to keep her cheered up with her general chatter, lollipops and lots and lots of hugs.
-
Nyda seems to have lost all sense of joy and fun. She performs her duties and manages to raise smiles for her sisters but otherwise moves around almost trancelike doing what seems needful. She often disappears though and returns a while later looking tear-stained.
