Jiyyd Rumors
-
It is said that a wizard who is strongly suspected to be a Banite, a dwarven cleric and another wizard paid for the ressurection of a young girl who died to a wolf. The Banite seemed to like it.
-
It began with a caravan ambushed by numerous hobgoblins in the Nars Pass. As the fallen were carried towards the healers in nearby Jiyyd, a large contingent of strangers were spotted heading towards the orc plains. Scouts investigating the matter reported that the group seemed to be the ones behind the attack on the caravan, and that some sort of deal was now to be made with the nearby orc clan. A group of adventurers ventured forth to the orcs, but found no trace of the mysterious strangers but the tents they had left behind. What they did find was orcs…a whole lot of them, angry as a swarm of wasps. A violent battle ensued, forcing the adventurers to retreat all the way to Jiyyd, where the fight continued to rage. After tearing the gate to smithereens, the orcs stormed into the village itself but were in the end defeated by the defenders. At least two bodies were brought to Vrokas afterwards, one of them noted sharpshooter Mark Kelben.

After an extended absence Kitty seems to have returned to the area. She is thinner than when she left and a degree more twitchy and feral, and she seems to have stopped cooking anything she catches to eat, but otherwise much as she was before. She offers no explaination for her whereabouts unless asked specifically and then is happy to rant about the general meanness of Peltarch officials who seal sewers with magic and new locks and EVERYthing with all the ghouls on the inside withOUT checking that people who were born and raised in the sewers weren't IN THEM at the TIME!!!

Upon hearing the rumor Eirien, who is by all accounts a nature geek that seems to have some block about being called a druid, is seen sitting near the bush murmuring to it.
-
Rumor has it that the shrub standing next to the small crossroad in Jiyyd has been trampled over, bent aside, broken and stepped on one time too often. A girl talks in hushed voices of how the spirit of the shrub came into the inn, seeking to deliver justice to some particularly cruel offenders. Some agree that a shrub in humanoid shape did indeed enter the inn. However they also point out that it could just have been a druid. Most consider this rumor merely a drunkard's tale. But is it? And more importantly does it have a grain of truth in it?
-
It is said that there was a huge battle with slaadi east of Jiyyd, and that at times the fight entered Jiyyd itself. In the end, a group of adventurers came back into Jiyyd, looking like they had been in one hell of a fight.
-
A rumour goes around that a small group of hins walked through the city and seemed to be strange colors. They did not say anything about it at the time they just walked through mentioning something about checking on the Silver Valley. People that were around the fire can be heard saying that one was white, another seemed to be pink, and the third was black.

General Grag is seen coming in from ompur and was seen with quite a big smile on his face the name Argentius was heard when he was speaking to Silmanthia….
-
_Rumours speak of a large battle that took place on the windy plains, east of Jiyyd between the ghouls and the undead forces present in Mintas Rhelgor. Upon the discovery of the battle, the battlefield was littered with the corpses of countless ghoul bodies, some in blackened armour. Horses, shattered swords and ghouls mounted upon pikes lay scattered everywhere over the battlefield.
Black smoke fills the sky overhead as the dust settles. It would appear to be a slaughter more than anything else._
-
_The plains north of the orc fortress are churned up and blackened after a colossal battle there in which magics could be seen high in the sky overhead from all around.
On that ground lie the remains of thousands of undead, the livery of Myrkul visible on some of those less charred. The massive force that laid waste such an army surrounds Mintas now._
-
_Whispers spread of a winged man circling over the orcish fields after three women that are part of the group know as the "Hunters" had passed through Jiyyd, darkness spells concealing them. Many speak of a battle upon the fields that left the women dead and dozens of detchs bodies lying all about, the winged man flying above casting spells to confuse those below. It is rumored that one woman in particular was caught up in the man's spell and disappeared from the group. When she was finally tracked down, she was found nearly lifeless, blood smeared across her lips, while her slit wrist bleed openly; the winged man taking off as the rescue group approached. She was quickly taken to the Sisterhood, were hours later she was seen bolting from the house, running east, only to disappear in the pass.
Many recognize the woman as Nicahh, and many also notice, she has not come home since then._
-
Word begins to spread about something happening at the Kelemvorite Shrine. Exactly what it is, no one knows for sure, but apparently all the people there seem quite on edge.
-
Rumor has it more and more ghouls have been seen around Jiyyd. Encounters with them seem to be more and more chaotic and the stronger ghouls are seen less often even as encounters increase. Deep in the plains over a thousand gnoll ghouls are found dead apparently after a large battle.
-
Rumor has it General Grag set out on a mission to encounter a dragon and has not been seen since…
-
Walking happily through Jiyyd one day, tired of translating and needing some fresh air, Zyphlin heard the rumors. He continued on a few steps, a fine smile on his face, before stopping dead in his tracks and turning back. His face going a bit white as he is heard to ask for a repeating of the rumors. He quickly rushes back into the old Bromley Estate, muttering about blasted books…farking gods (strangley the name "tal" came up around this point)...and something about his basement
-
A series of unnatural events rocked the small town, culminating in the appearance of pillars from the earth. Rumour speaks of something coming through a portal..then a picnic.
-
Kitty, the mildly over-excited but ever so nice girl with the weird green eye, has not been seen in some time. Rumours drift from Peltarch that the Defenders have sealed all the sewer entrances and changed all the locks. It is also rumoured that Kitty was born and grew up in those same sewers. There are futher rumours that Kitty occassionally went home to check on things despite mostly living at the sisterhood house now.
Whether these two rumours are in any way linked, or have anything to do with her disappearance remains to be seen…..
-
Zyphlin can be seen riding into town from the north, a small wagon pulled behind filled with large rolls of paper and many books. He parks it outside the old Bromley Estate and heads inside, slowly unloading the wagon into it. Candle light can be seen coming from the house throughout the nights as the bard seems to be busy at work on something
-
Caldor Dana has been seen more about town lately with a new spring in his step.. often humming a bright tune or whistling and greeting all those he meets with a broad smile.
-
_Juster has often been seen looking at the house in the Silver Valley lately.
He is also often seen sitting at the fire reading books which with closer inspection are noted to be in elvish. He reads slowly murmuring the words to himself and often has a confused look on his face as he reads._
