Today (the 20th of Lightshine) is the Summer Solstice: Fadma, as known on Altera Four.

If you are Roleplaying a Sooleran character, this is a pretty big celebration where all caravans come together in one location. Currently, there is no designated location-- however, rumours may spread during this Fadma of New Soolera... potentially a place to gather in the future?

Also there is a market on. You might have heard!

Last night, for miles near Eastwatch, the sky was, for but a moment, brightened by a brilliant display of a pure white pillar of light, cast skyward. A resounding boom followed mere seconds afterwards.

The drug problem in Storm’s Landing, the slums in particular, appears to have worsened over the recent weeks. It is now a common sight to see folk passed out on the streets, fighting each other and acting unpredictable. The brewing issue has sparked various stories, one claiming that a passer-by witnessed two people trying to eat each other!

In response to this, Arthur is known to have seen drinking in pubs and proclaiming: "it's your own fault now, could've voted me in."

In Storm's Landing, some drug-dealers have begun pushing the drug primarily towards non-humans, while their enforcers are trying to prevent humans from "corrupting thine flesh from the fury of their Father."

+In Eldpoint it would be found in the night there was a lot of shattering of glass. The Tailor shop there has some windows blown out, the tailor? No one knows so far what has happened with him. But evidence lingers about. Pm if you wish to look further into it.+

Posters scatter throughout cities cordially inviting anyone and everyone to the grand opening of a new inn in Eldpoint: The Poppy & Tart. If you are in the right circles, you may hear of an underground business going on, one of 'poppies' and 'tarts'.

Those sailing though Astremian waters would see a mighty plume of smoke and a valley of flaming shipwrecks along the coast.

Rumour has it that Astrum won against the Jishrimites in the war now being dubbed as 'The Battle for Astrum'.

Whilst the Astremians were able to stop the fires before they spread to the centre of the city, common word states that the bridge leading to their stronghold; 'The Bastion' has crumbled due to the attack: leaving the civilians hiding inside stranded.

Out of concern for their neighboring waters, Linlea sends a quiet cargo ship upon the next dawn to arrive upon the docks of Astrum. Word of its contents whisper it carries medical supplies, dried goods and iron tools to aid in Astrum's need for immediate recovery.

Icanra In response. Details will be sent in a convo. If there's still trouble in Astrum and anyone's dealing with incoming ships (assuming not since travel is open), lemme know

Local residents of Linistel tell of of a large ruckus that happened in the desert behind the palace. Some say tendrils of strange lights lit up the horizon In a myriad of colors before collecting and shooting up into the sky. All for sure can be said is that it was most likely the work of mages......

In Eldpoint and Verdant Valley, and as far north as Astrakhan, more and more barkeeps are hearing
strange stories from adventurers about seeing figures in the forests who wear antlers.
Some hunters report seeing strange shrines of animal bones and blood.​

Not to be edgy, but this is for real:

Word on the streets of the Landing is that there is someone willing to take on the more nefarious tasks required by those with coin. Theft, murder, arson.. If it pays, there is someone out there willing to do it. Leaving a contract within the graveyard or library with the targeted person/place/item and the amount intended to be paid is said to be a way to contact this individual.

( Looking to start off my alt well, so if you do this, PM me :) )

Locals of Storm's Landing coming in and out of the docks have reported a foul stench of something burning lingering from one of the buildings

Word creeps around Queensport, telling of peculiar behaviour amongst the lower class; passing out in the middle of the street, brutal fighting, manic laughter and screams of despair are all common sights. It seems the current mania that has been plaguing Storm’s Landing has slowly made its way to the city.

Any and all vessels passing through or docking at the river junction in Astrakhan find that their ships are alerted to thorough searches, in which the vessels, their crew, and their cargo are inspected. Anyone caught with illegal or restricted substances, such as opium or unmarked, unregistered goods, have their vessels compounded and are taken to court. Vessels bound for Queensport are given especially stringent searches.

Wait. Stop.
There’s something in the margins, just out of your sight. Something hidden that wants to be found. The lost, the forlorn, the downtrodden, the hungry; In the sewers below Storms Landing, they converge. Like moths to a flame.

A pilgrimage is starting, a promise of Power.

EDIT; A small note has been left, to narrow the search.
TWO; SEEK NORTH. SEEK SMALL STRANDS OFFSHORE. SEEK SMOKE.


OOC : I've got some artefacts on a mostly tabled character, so I figured I'd run a little treasure hunt instead of letting them get lost to time. Have fun! And tread careful.

In the slums of the landing rumor would spread of a broad sized Caparii fellow handing out fruit for free for a few hours before leaving the basket on the Crawford shrine for any willing to take.

Pehraps with other motive? Or a random act of kindness? Time will tell.


(This will not not likely be the only time this happens.)​

Near Haven, It's been rumored a strangely terrifying figure with a skull mask had been wondering around. Dressed in shades of black and purple, and with a never-ending heartbeat following him, that everyone could swear did not stop no matter what, so long as in close proximity. The man, screaming and shouting in maddened flares, for the name:
"Podric!"​

Overnight, Shalherana’s mark begins to fade from Mockingbay. The central city church’s doors are locked. The street-side adornments that once depicted Her tenets are left bare though still stand. Though no official announcement has been made, citizens gossip about the Queen’s whereabouts, and her wellbeing.
