HEADLINE: Tentative Peace Returns
With the death of Gorblock and the effective collapse of the Warborn, peace has has been brought back to our Desert Jewel. Loose negotiations have been made with parties seeking to overtake the Sharps in this new power vacuum. But as the saying goes, "Another Cycle, Another Tyrant."
Despite this peace, it is still recommended caution be given to those wishing to trade with Andunor, and instead recommend a more stable trade partnership in Cordor on Arelith, or Skaug in the Nelather Isles.
The Hooded
There is rumour going around of a curious creatures lurking around in the sands, under trade canvas and Gilded Mirage. The most recent addition appears to be not all they appear as. An elf who seems peaceful and cordial, and speaks simply of disagreement towards those such as in local elven cities and communities.
Yet, know they are purposefully touched with demonic influence, often sporting hidden horns and occasionally wings. These beings are not tieflings, but something more, something desiring what we all want. Power and influence.
So long as they spend their gold, however, who is to turn them away? You will not find us abiding by them getting too much influence in the town however.

Spotlight: The Copper Scales Judge
Far through the Northern Dunes past The Drunken Dead Saloon, you will find the tallest rocks on Sibayad. The trek is not for the sightseer, as the approach in the dunes is fraught with creature and winged terrors.
But if you make it to the base of these rocks, this mountain, you will come to find it is not just anywhere, but The Eyrie, home of Elidor, the Dragon of Sibayad.
Elidor is a brass dragon of renoun in the region, wise and willing to give out knowledge to those curious enough to speak into the mirror. The Brass also occasionally takes in disciples, but rarely shall a petitioner actually be taken under wing.
Elidor offers words of other dragons freely, across the sands, the isles north around Arelith, and even those far below. And if you can pay the price, he will bestow upon you draconic knowledge... For a gem's price.
