Lith Letters: 9/187AR
Welcome to the first of hopefully many. Enjoy the read!
Ice Giant Invasion!
And they say nothing ever happens on Skal. The mountain known as Skal Fel is under siege by ice giants. Apparently the locals have been warned to travel only in the biggest of groups, seeing how these tall fellahs bring turmoil and strife to everything living up there. Currently they seem to be getting along with the dragon and the wyverns, meaning travel to the peak will be much more dangerous than ever before.
Tourists and adventurers are also advised that the local wildlife is not handling this well at all. Wyverns, Rocs, Displacer beats and even nagas roam the lower regions of the mountain now. Go in prepared, or be ready to stay!
Surface versus Underdark. The forever war.. continues.
Fighting ongoing, fighting forever, fighting all over the darn boards. Turns out both sides are gathering portals near the major settlements of the opposition as you read this. Some skirmishes already resulted in the loss of friends and foes alike. And while warboss Everbelly urges our friends from below to "hide behind your rocks" the reply of Zekrall Briz'zek couldn?t be more welcoming of the hostilities offering to "carve your(their) names into the stone".
Lith Letters recommends to keep your masks on and your wards up when traveling at night or in the tunnels. Hot conflicts mean you might become the next hostage or headline!
Freeport fighting for freedom (from Undead):
No. Not the vampires. No, not the tax collectors either. This time it's one Captain Kragscragger and his band of undead sailors. He revealed himself via illusion magic and declared outright war on the people of Guldorand. Other ports and places are likely expecting a similar fate but for now everyone should stock up on their blessed essences and scrolls. Expect a big brawl, seeing how the captain wanted everyone old enough to carry a sword to prepare for him. Those who don't plan to hide behind Guldorands walls are advised to seek out the Slayers guild in case of an attack. Gods help those brave souls embracing death head on.
Cordor being Cordor?
The Rascal Defense Force is still offering bounties for any information on those darn Rascals. This time it's the Ghoul Gang. Sightings of any of its members will be well rewarded by the Raynes. You are also reminded that only the Rascal Defense Force is allowed to use violence to apprehend the wanted targets. We agree that it'd be best to let the professionals handle this terrible menace!
Furthermore the Anti-Thieves Guild is recruiting. Threatening. And board posting! The leader known as Tognark Ironwallop claims this to be his fourth crusade against the notorious criminals operating from the plane of shadows. While we strictly speak out against murder, we cannot help but look forward to the next update on this evolving issue.
Upcoming Events, in no particular order or from any particular order:
Sibayads Crafter Convention: Doing something you are proud of? Show it off, sell it off, get praised for it or laughed at. The Bazar will be open to anyone not exiled or unwelcome at the 7th night of the every closer coming new year.
Elven History Lecture: Want to learn elven? Want to learn about elves? A mind for history or just trying to grab some free food from some of the oldest food artists on the island? It'll be held inside the Conclave Tower of Myon. Best not to get caught sneaking in when you're not allowed to visit. They got arrows and they will use you as target practice.
Public Sparring Session: Guldorands friends and defenders are invited for this one. Want to learn how to survive an ambush? See how well the guards handle troublemakers or just taste your own blood in a semi safe environment? Look no further than to Husk Dirtnappers offer to "break in" his new place.
Gobfest: Fifth Cycle of next month you are welcomed to the District House of the Sharps for a special celebration of appreciation. Dance like a Goblin, feast like Bugbear, arm wrestling like a..? You get the idea! While nothing explicit was stated regarding the list of welcome guests it's safe to assume that if you have above average ear length you better speak Xanalress.
Day 27, Month 9 (Eleint), 187 AR (1387 DR)
Excited
