Jiyyd Rumors
-
Some would also tell of two druids, one of which was recognized as Raisa, and the other as the archdruid Fadia, being ambushed by the lake in Jiyyd. Some might've heard the attacker shouting something about handing over an emerald, and fadia's frantic denials of any knowledge of such a thing.
The woman was later chased off by Uchi, from the legion, and, after a meeting with a mercenary apparently after the same emerald, the druids were seen acting rather paranoid for several days afterwards.
Maybe a tenday or so later, Fadia was on the top of the archers' tower, relating stories of the circle's history with any who would listen. All of a sudden, she was seen to wheel around and face some unseen presence, shouting (again) that she didn't know anything about an emerald, and asking the apparently invisible person why someone wants to kill her over it. Then, a hooded man appeared out of thin air, and spoke softly to fadia, as she demanded information which he refused to give.
Lastly, a group of druids, and others of varying persuasions from Jiyyd were seen having a heated discussion with a woman up on sam's hill. Several times during the talk, it nearly came to blows. However, mostly as a result of a comment the woman made pretaining to the circle's altar, the group headed south as fast as they could.

_The patrons at the regal whore tell an odd story. Apparently, the red haired warrior sometimes known as Mel, and a strange hooded woman, were seen walking through the inn to the back room. They were followed by the druid, Oreth, who seemed to be talking to himself.
Several minutes later, the sound of a scuffle, and frantic casting was heard, followed by the hooded woman's voice shouting "Help, the druids have gone mad!"
Hurried conversation followed, then the sounds of steel and the growls of many large animals, as well as running feet up the stairs of the inn.
Only a few minutes afterward, two druids, Raisa and Oreth, both covered in blood and fragments of bone, left the inn, followed a few moments later by Melody.
They returned later with buckets and rags, and retreated back to the upper floors of the inn. Oreth could be heard muttering "She….exploded..." in a confused, bewildered fashion.
After the group left for good, a faint, diluted red stain covers the uppermost hallway of the inn, and a pile of dead dire wolves lies scattered about the back room._

With the recent increase in worg activity, Oreth has been seen east of Jiyyd with increasing regularity, attempting to thin their numbers or even outright exterminate the evil wolves. He is ever watchful for something else, however…
-
Apparently a mage made it invisibly into town, targetting some nasty spells on a muscular redhead. Those spells included two fireballs that also injured a bystander. The woman later was heard trying to talk to the constantly invisible assassin, trying to appease them. She also admited to supposedly have murdered someone. Apparently with the appearance of an umber hulk the assassin was chased off, even though a portal opened and a few wolves sprang out of it, attacking anyone near the fire.
-
Worgs have been sighted occasionally on the Eastern Road after dark, some rumours and tales of townsfolk in the Regal Whore saying they've even seen them come right up to the town walls…either way, travellers going east would be advised to take care...
-
While the deperature of a group of three men and two women headed towards Ormpur is nothing special, in itself, neither seems their belated return nor that they carry one of the men and are accompanied by another instead. However they speak of an attack by someone who tossed fire at them and summoned worgs. The name spoken in Vroka's shop is 'Sisters of the Wild'.
-
A tall red-haired woman, in the robes of the sisterhood, speaks of a some weird transformed orcs that almost ate a huge group that went to the plains, and then only abducted a single elf and transformed the poor victim. She goes on telling a tale of a grand rescue that was delayed because everyone let fear into their heart but in the end they chased the ugly beast into a cave. Sadly, though, they had hesistated too long and the poor elf was already turned into one of these terrible things. Resisting the temptation of power though, the elf helped them defeat the ugly thing that was an orc once. They also destroyed a fountain and an altar and there was a child but it was dead.

A young blonde elf some may recognize by the name of Helin has been making a few quiet inquiries about drow activity in the area and a specific request for unique drow texts for her personal research.
-
Arcaome and Lucidious speak to those by the fire in jiyyd of their many encounters with undead that day. A fierce attack upon the druids near their meeting place in the wood, an attack at the crossroads between jiyyd and norwick, and yet again upon the long road to jiyyd. The attacks do not appear to be random. Arcaome and Lucidious begin questioning travelers for any relevant information.

@b03e32b841=elor_danna:…It was handed to him by an elf woman clad in red and golf half plate, known as Belade.
Sorry, I'd normally disregard it… but man, I want some of that half plate when I go out golfing!

Hearing of Major Mog looking fo the wearer of Thorn's armor, Private Erugdish joins the hunt in finding him due to his undying loyalty to the legion.

Dalron is seen using a new longsword, which looks like one of those used by the Sauri gang bosses. It was handed to him by an elf woman clad in red and gold half plate, known as Belade.
EDIT: I don't like golf

Wardrums sound on the plains in the nights as war quickly approaches. Vroka reports that a caravan was recently ransacked and left on the windy plains by the brave heros so that they may reclaim a simple sword instead of the bodies of those people that fell to the orcs. She is very disappointed in a few. Small orc raiding parties are seen storming the gates at night, hoping to find a way in it would appear.
-
Mog is heard to be seeking the wearer of Thorn's armor for a nice long talk.
-
A large half-orc has been seen walking around wearing the armor of Thorn Fell, still with the legion colors on it, yet the half-orc is not part of the legion
-
On her frequent visits to Jiyyd, Keira listens to the rumors of Loviatans with great interest. She'll also remind people that Arikess has done something bad enough to get assassins set upon him, as evidenced by his murder in Norwick a while ago.
-
After what seemed like a long night , two women, one dressed in flowing robes, the other wearing the colours of the Divine shield, descended into the mists of Jiyyd swamp and weren't seen for quite a few candlemarks after when they emerged with two young looking boys. Rumours fly of Lovitarans abducting children in the swamp and turning them into wisps. Whatever transpired, the two boys seemed to run back to their homes, a relieved expression on their faces.

The half orc/elf knwon to most as Wog was seen taking the elf Arikess to the east gate and through it onto the road beond. After a few words Wog drew his sword and knocking Arikess clean off his feat before stabbing him bringing him close to death, However the elf managed to ragain his footing and stunned the orc before blasting him with magic, then taking the sword from the bleeding Wogs hands. Two more people, Vine and Bryn, came at this point healing up Wog and then a large conversation started up, the halforc/elf and the two others claiming the mage elf was practicing animating corpses. After alot of argueing undead started spewing all over the place, The mage known as Tolin and the ranger Cotton along with the others took fight to the undead, leaving in a large long fight where more and more undead appeared and where killed. The elf Arikess seemed to sneak away. Towards the end of the fight Wog fell seeming not to back down from the hordes of undead evan when he was close to being killed. The elf Bryn took back to Jiyyd and the two where seen leving Healing Wonders, wog rubbing his head and murmering about "theiving, evil, necromantic elves" .. Ever since it is clear that Wog is out to kill Arikess blaming him for the undead.

Word that undead gnolls and a couple of demons at least attacked jiyyd after a party of people came running to the destroyed gates. no one seems to have died but much yelling back and forth was done.
Tala in particular yelled about holy water which was totally ignored by the defenders… save star.
Tala is later heard saying, "Don't blame me if they come back to life becuase you all were too stubborn to sprinkle holy water on them. What good is fighting them off if they don't stay dead?"

A couple of weeks ago, shadows attacked Jiyyd's west gate. They shadows were fought by a large group of townsfolk and visitors. Darkness blanketed the area just south of the road with many shadows creatures of various sizes spilling out to attack. The defenders bravely fought off the unnatural beings, eventually closing the portal from which the shadow creatures came.
The reason for the attack was clear. The shadows demanded a woman named "Sayla." Who this woman is and why she's wanted remains a mystery…
