Jiyyd Rumors
-
Dwin sarcastically mentions to several of his local followers that he is "glad that the folks of Jiyyd can follow directions so well."
-
Rumours say that a few corpses along with a few notes written in orcish saying that unless attacks against the orcs stop they will execute more prisoners. It's also said that shortly afterwards a group of adventurers ventured into the orc-plains and painted the plains red with orcish blood
-
The Ex-banite Draihken was found on the outskirts of Jiyyd this day by a Sunite women, Draihken appeared unharmed but seemed to be rather disoriented and confused about the entire ordeal, he was then helped back to the Town were he is now safely resting
-
_Fadia, as usual tightly wrapped in her hooded cloak, is seen dashing to and fro about town, asking all she meets of their knowledge of the talosian
Has anyone considered that this may be the same one from a few years ago? Or…or maybe even just related to it? Anything's possible....either way, let me know if anything happens...I'd love to help bring down another of these._
-
Another attack of the Talosian druid or cleric happened. The town was first covered in a powerful storm, lightning setting small patches of grass alight. Soon after, worgs attacked the east gates, and a group, made up primarily of Helmites set out to find the Talosian. They battled trough groups of worgs, before reaching a hill where the Talosian stood and commanded the group to kneel. They would have non of that, however, and as they charged up the hill, the stormcaller vanished, yet not before calling down a pillar of fire upon the brave defenders.

_Idle gossip circulates about an incident at the west gate, where a pair of elves and a human were splashed and burnt by an alchemical bomb hurled by a Narswoman. This led to a heated exchange of insults and veiled threats; thankfully for Jiyyd, however, no further violence ensued.
The fact that there were no guards at the gate to put a stop to the affair, which left an ugly burnt patch in the fields, is seen by some as proof that the militia recruitment is long overdue. Others are of the opinion that the last thing Jiyyd needs is to PAY troublemakers with swords to hang around and cause trouble._

Draihken was seen by the campsite of Jiyyd talking with a Paladin of Helm, the paladin told Draihken of the virtues and code in which he lives by and asked Draihken what he would strive for, With so many thoughts going through his head and unable to come to any definite conclusion he retired to the Temple in hopes of clearing his thoughts, he spent the remainder of the evening praying to helm and sitting in quiet contemplation that every action he takes from this day forth will be disected by others and that if he is to stay on his long road to redemption he must begin setting goals for himself so that he does not stray

Within minutes Dwin hears about Mecizq's whining from a few of his local faithful followers
If that lad has a problem, he best address me directly. I hear shiite like that I might start to think he's tossin' shiite. The only way to stop someone from tossin shiite is to cut their farkin head off. 'Least thats what me Pa used to tell me.
"Which town I owe allegiance to?" He farkin kiddin me? I own parcels all over this land. Just because I run the Militia of the Southern Nars don't mean I am banished within the walls o Norwick!
All the thanks I get fer savin this place from ruin… ya know, I think some folks are just plain jealous.
Remind me to ask him how he likes bein' a crafter in my Union next time I see him. chuckles Maybe he thinks its a farkin "conflict" too.
Dwin walks off and buys the closest commoner an ale or two. Dwin never pays much attention, but he is starting to think that Jiyyd water makes peoples' eyes turn lavendar.
-
"Jiyyd has done admirably well in the past by itself, and will surely continue to do so. I am sure that every man and woman that lives here, can contest to that."
-
Although none of the malcontents with lavendar eyes ever approach Mecizq directly, as the townsfolk parrot his concern, the rumors take a turn to address it, citing how successful Dwin has been in making Norwick secure against threats from the outside, and gently suggesting that it wouldn't be so bad to have a singular leadership, forever uniting the two towns in everlasting peace.
Not to mention how advantagous it would be for Jiyyd to draw upon Norwick's formidable resources and economy, should the need arise.

General Grag instructs the helmites and the legion to keep a close eye on the Ex-Banite
-
The Ex-Banite can be seen spending most of his time within the Temple of Helm, while inside these walls he spends much time praying, studying and sometimes just sitting their reflecting on his actions. When he does leave the temple he is often seen akwardly trying to mingle within the townsfolk, offering a hand whenever the chance arises but saying little
-
fad, wrapped up tightly in her cloak, just shakes her head
Too trusting.
-
Mecizq can be heard on wandering through Jiyyd one day to wonder as to which town Dwin owes allegiance, as he seems to be head of Norwick Milita, yet also seems to hold a position on Jiyyds counsel, and perhaps these two positions are causing conflicts in interest for him.

Oreth responds to the rumours when they come to him, taking note of the lavender eyes of the commoner
It matters little what he has done. That path is already behind us and cannot be changed. It matters what one believes he will do. If the paladin has reason to believe that this Banite's past is not a good predictor of his future, and she vouches for that, then there is no reason to cast this convert out, or make him suffer unduly. Unless you want to chase him right back into Bane's hand. No one is served by that, not us, and not him.
Wait and see.
-
_The paladin does not raise voice to waylay the rumors. When asked why by an acolyte, she merely responds:
"The first step towards redemption must come through acceptance. And acceptance cannot be gained if it is not earned. This lies solely in his hands. If he is true, we can only guide him."
She does state however, that any that would make claim to the man's past transgressions, or claim to his falseness, do so by presenting the proof._
-
Rumor spreads (from various characters with lavender eyes) that a member of the Black Hand has come into town claming that he has turned from his ways. He now wanders freely among decent townsfolk.
Mr. Dolvak has come under harsh criticism by those who would blindly accept this man's story at face value, but still his first thought is to the welfare of the people of Jiyyd, and he has determined to have a word with this man himself to ensure that he does not become a threat to us and our children.
If not for good folks like Mr. Dolvak, Jiyyd's poor excuse for a council would let known killers wander about unchecked.
-
Three members of the Black Sails were recently seen chasing one of their own, a dwarven priestess of Umberlee, all the way from Jiyyd and out into the Nars Pass. It would appear the priestess had taken something from one of the others and refusing to return it. All four returned after a while, bloodied and bruised but in good spirits apart from the occasional curse and grumble from the dwarf.
-
_Upon hearing the rumor, Shane goes to offer her last greetings to the fallen brother. After that, she is seen heading towards the temple of Helm with a blank expression, shutting the door behind.
Soon after, rumor spreads that she has asked acolytes to find her any written text or any word on the dark lord's religion that can be found within the region. Visitors coming to the temple can find her, when not out on patrol scouting for Orc intrusions, or other matters concerning her, engaged attentively over old and dusky tomes until the deep of night. One acolyte is overheard stating that such deep immersement in unholy lectures can not be good for one's own sanity, looking troubled._
-
It is said that there was a fair and honest duel between a Banite wizard and a paladin at the crossroads. The paladin died, while the Banite remained nearly unscathed.
