Jiyyd Rumors
-
A thin elf has been seen wandereing around Jiyyd. He looks at everything in awe, and will spend hours looking at certain buildings, the sky or even the lake, as if he had not seen them before. Whenever he isn't doing this, he is reading torn pieces of paper or books in very bad condition.
-
Drelan is quick to tell anyone that indicates they've fought the undead armies that usually include some blue skinned ogres, that undead were seen downing and carrying away giants, and that he thinks that undead giants may soon be spotted in their ranks as well.
-
Many would notice that construction upon the Sisterhood has started back again. Rather than expanding their facilities due to the ever growing population within the house, it seems they are reconstructing a portion of the front of the estate after some orc decided to attempt to burn the house down.
-
The Natural Union are digging again, great mining operations with Umberhulks and powderkegs. One of their mining camps was sited north of the Long Road for a while before moving on.
Seems they're using some sort of scrying to guide them to their prize.

- The Lord Protector walks into town with a small detactment of his troops and heads to the council offices… smiling*

A grumpy looking dwarf who was eating roasted potatos sits up straight and speaks to be heard
Ah' have ask't that quesh'un tree hugger. An da reply Ah gets is, 'sum people just too powerful an cannea be stop't so we jus' let em walk aboot town cus we cannea do nuthin aboot et.'
An dat come strait' from an officer who defend dis town.
Folk start wonderin' aboot justice an law when justic an law begin ta pick an chose when it decide ta pick an chose whut evil to smite an whut evil ta welcome aboot town wit' open arms.
But den again, folk see who sides wit' who an et ain' a mystery where they real loyalties be.. an et ain the fairness of law.
snorts and goes back to eating potatoes

Oreth turns to Zyphlin, shrugs, and comments
The town needs questions like those. They keep everyone honest. When people stop questioning at all, things can get seriously out of hand.
At the same time, questioning the air is not particularly effective. People with issues should address people responsible for thos issues, rather than rumbling about ineffectively.
And asking the same question over and over once it's already been answered is foolishness.
-
Zyphlin laughs hearing the tavern talk of a town founded and inhabited originally mostly be paladins, talking down about evil people getting beaten down
-
Whispers around the tavern talk about the inconsistent nature of of the laws of Jiyyd and how people are beginning to question the flip-flop in deciding who has broken the law and who is above it.
Whispers about how a woman can be brutally beaten while being taken into custody, yet the perpetrator of the offense walks about freely in town as well as to the full pardon of murder by the self proclaimed necromancer who witnesses have seen slaughtering the animals with ice and freesing cold, yet the council sees fit to turn a blind eye to her wickedness.
People are talking in hushed tones about the obvious favoritism to some and the more perception of discrimination towards others. One dwarf is heard asking how can it be that the town retains any credibility at all in the light of recent events.
-
Word quickly gets around that the Council is looking to speak to Rando in connection to the death of Rolan while in Jiyyd jurisdiction. He is asked to turn himself in for questioning peacefully to the council.
-
Some rumors of a werecat being sighted outside Jiyyd filter around, though a few are quick to say that it must have been some crazy mage considering the creature was seen talking to a woman.
The Watchmen do not appear to be afraid of the beast when asked about it. Watchman Basha comments, "If da cat tries to come in, it will feel our blades, mage or nots. Jiyyd be safe wid us."
-
_When General Grag goes to check upon the house, he can find no trace of supposed ghosts.
Still, it would seem the house has clearly become inhabited once again, as in the following days, it appears to gain a more clean facade once again. The dust that was a blanket for years is removed, the windows cleaned, and regularly a fire burns. General rumor spreads that, under whatever circumstances, the owner has returned.
Those checking upon times at the Helmite temple, will find a recent addition to the Temple's roster:
"Shane Andryl - Reporting for duty."_
-
_Little splashes of pink can be seen here and there around Jiyyd: Ribbons tied around most everything that they fit around. Some of them have three letters written in black along the side: PtS.
Also, a number of people can be seen walking around with identical pink ribbons tied around their wrists._
-
It seems a few insults were passed between Rando of Norwick and Rolan just outside the town and it ended up with Rolan dead. Rolan is seen walking around town looking quite happy afterwards and proceeds to go back out and isnt seen for a few days.
-
Apparently the woman who accompanied the supposed Banite girl into town is the tall, red-haired woman known to some as Melody. When asked about it, she simply states with her common sheepish smile that a law that makes people threaten young girls at swordpoint is a silly law. When questioned about the girls faith, she states similar to Nicahh, that she doesn't ask people which gods they worship and which they don't.
-
_Nicahh is seen working upon the Sisterhood farm with the suspected banite girl, a young teenager whom seems to run if someone says "boo" too loud. She is also seen trying to help the youth find work. Stranglely enough, the girls name seems to be Nicka too.
When people question her about whether the very young girl is a banite or not, she simply replies: "I've not asked her what her faith is. In the long run it matters little. If you have valid reasons for thinking her a banite, I suggest you try and offer her a better path, then simply chase her with nasty words and swords." With that, she heads to the clothing shop to see if they need an apprentice to help them out._
-
Rumors spread about a possible banite trying to enter jiyyd earlier, two of her attempts foiled by a lower ranking legioneer. On a third attempt the suspected banite came with a woman of the scarlet sisterhood.
Rumors have it that the self proclaimed 'farmer' never denounced bane, and with the help of the sister, she was able to get a simple bottle of milk.
Noone is certain if the farmer was a banite or not, but two things are known. The farmer wore banes colors on an odd looking set of armor, and two, that the scarlet sisterhood will help anyone they think is being oppressed.
Be it a child, or a banite.
-
Rumor has it General Grag went to check on this supposed ghost after being harrased by the drunken man.
-
Through the early hours of the evening in Jiyyd, a curiousity can be seen. The woman known as Kara was seen almost dancing down the road in jiyyd with a bright grin on her face, when asked, she doesn't respond, save for a smile. There is only speculation in what has brought a long absent smile to the paladin's face
-
_The next evening, lights are again seen inside the old abandoned home, and a small whiff of smoke passes from the chimney. The fireplace shows lit, and the shape of a figure can be seen in a chair close to it, the back faced to the window, apparently asleep.
Looking through the window, one thing catches the eye… an old armorstand, up to now empty for as long as anyone can recall the door to this house having been closed, now holds an old suit of armor, with Helm's symbol proudly engraved on the chest.
Upon examining the door leading into this house, several marks show signs of it having been opened, and a mudded bootprint is left upon the doorway, leading in, though nothing can reveal any sign of forced entry.
An old man, having been laughed away at for either being senile or drunk, spoke of ghosts wandering amongst the living...._
