“All The News That Fits, We Print”
Broomis Chosen King
On a recent Saturday night,
the Mons Regalis finally made its choice. The
gathered adventurers and nobles were led to the site of the
The chosen climbed the path
to the fabled stone where, as one, they attempted to step up. An unseen force
prevented all but the True King from standing upon it.
Alone, stood
Duke Broomis Bouchard.
Furious, Duchess Jacelyn Correlia attacked the new
King. She swung wide and drove her mighty blade into the
All reports of the moment
declare that the force of the stone exploding was so great that the resulting
smoke screen obscured vision for many yards around.
The wounded nobles were
healed, but Duchess Jacelyn Correlia
was missing. Later, she resurrected
without problem.
King Broomis Bouchard then called
for commoner and noble alike to attend him to hear oaths of fealty spoken aloud
and to receive the newly forged crown. The Crown of Icenia
was forged by Sir Ulthoc of Nordenn,
Marcusagrim Anvilstrike and
several others in the Elemental Forge.
Duke Frost Vardik spoke
first, pledging blade and claw to the King of Icenia.
Next, the King called forward Dame Sonia Forthiatis. To her surprise, he declared that she would be
the Duchess of Brittington. She was given the Ducal
Regalia and spoke her oaths.
Sir Nevin Kendrick was then
called. His oath was short, but full of conviction. The King named him Royal
Paladin and bade him rise.
Baron Harrison Ryatt knelt
and was affirmed in his service to Icenia and to Duke
Frost Vardik by King Broomis.
Unfortunately, this happy occasion was followed
shortly by Xhal’hax, Nevin’s
hired Sl’tagn spy, being thrown through the
doors of the Black Stag by a man in a golden golem. Xhal’hax
confessed to being a double agent, sending information on Ashban
movements back to Evorra. On the deck of the tavern, Xhal’hax gave an anguished apology for her treachery,
telling those assembled that her family had been taken captive and would be
killed if she did not do as the man in the golden golem commanded. He then ran
the Sl’taghn through, sending her to her
permanent death.
The man introduced himself as Erasmus Vexcel of Evorra and declared Broomis a false king.
Needless to say, the heroes of Fairdale fought his
elite soldiers and regenerating gold body to rout, securing righteousness in
victory once again.

Note: More details about the new King will be forthcoming; we apologize for
this condensed version.
Mercenaries Besiege Fairdale
Early last Serpent, the town
of
Skirmishes occurred with
these two factions at several points during the siege, though two things were
clear: The groups were not given the order to fully assault and the Vansir and the Celestial elves hated each other. No
surprise there.
The Iron Ring fielded many
warriors and a handful of healers in their battles. Their strength more than
made up for their lack of true strategic planning and battlemages.
Interactions with individual warriors were reported to be pleasant if not
friendly. The adventuring Vansir of Ashbury, being
Sir Ulthoc of Nordenn and
the warrior woman Drifa, talked with Iron Ring
warriors on several occasions.
Sir Ulthoc,
Drifa, Squire Commander Ithica
and several others confronted their leader, Kohagan,
at his field longhouse. Ulthoc and Kohagan dueled, resulting in Ulthoc’s
defeat. When Ulthoc was healed he declared that
hospitality was ended and that the Ashban force would
attack.
The harrowing fight only
ended when Kohagan’s entire elite guard was
killed and he was captured. When brought back to the Black Stag Kohagan was questioned and sentenced to execution by Baron
Harrison Ryatt. Kohagan had
words with Ithica, then was
executed by Sir Ulthoc himself.
Kohagan is now
permanently dead.
As for the Cold Star, the Ashbury Times are happy to report a far
less depressing ending. Raven Nevermore
led a strike team against Dame Stella Fria later that night, but diplomacy
triumphed over swords. The Good Ice Knight agreed to speak with the Ashban nobles in the Black Stag. Baron Harrison Ryatt, despite the busy night he’d already had, spoke
with her on the laws of Icenia. She described her
history and her mission, to rebuild her keep after the Dominion War, adroitly
and charmingly.
She agreed to cease
hostilities and recall her troops from the field.
Sir Brice Found Permanently Dead
It is with great sadness that The Ashbury
Times must report the permanent death of a shining example of
Knighthood. Sir Bryce Sinclair, Royal Knight and member of Queen Sidraste’s Household, was found permanently slain
while the Adventurers of Ashbury were in the Duchy of Evorra.
The nature of the attack which slayed him is
unknown. All that is known is that a commoner of Evorra
came in looking for Squire Commander Ithica,
reporting a body found in the woods wearing a white belt. Squire Ithica was able to identify the body due to a dueling scar,
and brought the body back before the collected adventurers for a proper
funeral.
Sir Bryce Sinclair was born Icenian, and served for
twenty years with distinction in the Icenian Army
before becoming a Squire. He gained the notice of Her Majesty, and
quickly rose through the ranks of the Peerage. He served as a Royal
Knight with distinction, alongside many of those who now serve the Kingdom as
Dukes and Duchesses. He at one time lead the Icenian
special operations force known as the Icenian
Dragoons, and many rumors persisted that he had been closely considered for the
position of Duke of Ashbury when His Excellency Duke Frost was given the
position, and would certainly be considered for any future openings of Baronial
and Ducal seats.
As this is breaking news, it is unknown if either His Grace Duke Frost Vardik or Her Grace Duchess Sonia Forthiathis
are yet aware of the situation.
Unusual Black Creatures Appear in
In early May, reports began
of unidentifiable black creatures wandering around Dara’s
Grace. The first of these creatures was
seen in an independent farmstead, far from any villages or towns. Two farmhands were working in the field when
it appeared. Due to its unnatural silence,
neither noticed the creature until it started attacking one of the farmhands.
The attack was brutal and
efficient, killing one farmhand while the other ran off to get help. By the time he returned with assistance, the
strange creature had moved on, having dealt no damage to anything non-living
and having taken nothing.
This first incident proceeded
similar incidents throughout Dara’s Grace. By early June, these unusual creatures were
wandering freely about the estate killing living sentient creatures, both
citizens and monster races.
Information is still scarce
on these strange creatures, but some things have been learned about them. They are completely black and formed of some
sort of coherent dark energy. They take
on a mostly humanoid shape, though wield no items, wear no clothing, and never
speak. All of the creatures have a
symbol imprinted on their foreheads that resembles a stylized letter
“A” from an ancient script.
No purpose has yet been
determined for these creatures, but they seem intent on destroying intelligent
living creatures. They strike with their
arms, bludgeoning foes and occasionally draining life force directly. Some curse their enemies while others can
kill with raw energy. Also, every single
one of them appears to be completely unaffected by spells from the Curse effect
group.
The frequency and strength of
these creatures has been increasing since they first appeared. There was actually a decrease in both
strength and frequency of these creatures in early and mid June after they
appeared for the first time in Fairdale.
Though, they appear to gaining in power again and reports claim these
creatures have appeared as far as Brandywine, Battlewoods,
Kurash,
The presence of these
creatures is a disruption to trade routes, army maneuvers, and average
citizens. As such, Seneschal Trevor
Donovan is seeking any and all information about these creatures and the Duchy
is offering a reward to anyone who is willing to assist in diminishing this
menace.
A Link Between
Creatures and a Cursed Tomb?
During the gathering in early Serpent, the creatures
described above began attacking randomly in and around Fairdale.
To make matters worse, some adventurers were randomly
going Berserk around the same time these beings started appearing.
Operating on curiosity and slim hope, a group of
adventurers led by Derek Dreamweaver and Baron Sir Harrison swept the woods
near the contested lands searching for a rumored pool of Cariosis
which they thought could be related to the strange black swirling half-formed
creatures. A dozen adventurers joined in the sweep but no pool was
found. On the journey back to Fairdale however, the group came across
more of the attacking creatures and fought a long and draining battle throughout
the woods and riverscape tracking the creatures each
time the appeared further and further from Fairdale.
Drak, Raven, and Khorwyn,
led the Baron and the adventurers through the pouring rain to a Tomb which had
recently been unearthed which had an archway at its entrance with a rune
similar to the one seen on the faces of the attacking creatures. It must
be said that Guildmaster Nathan Westwind
was among the adventurers at the tomb but Baron Harrison did give permission
for the Wizard to enter with the rest of the group despite his recent troubles
involving other excavations.
Once inside the tomb the group made their way through
multiple levels of winding stair ways and catacombs until they found a room
with a massive swirling portal which seemed to be made of the same material as
the beings. Squires Ithica and Garathon of Blythedale among
others attempted to enter the vortex, but were severely injured for their
attempts. Creatures continued to pour out from the portal and the group
fended them off the best they could while they explored some of the other
levels of the massive crypt.
A room with a broken sarcophagus was found and several
treasure rooms seemed to have been looted recently. Many items seemed to
have been pillaged from the crypt and the group decided it best to leave and
report back their news to Fairdale and investigate this issue further after
resting.
Later, a Sarr who had been
carving runes into the blades of some of the towns adventures recently was
questioned about her methods and motives once it was determined it was only
those weapon holders who were experiencing the Berserk effects. It seemed
nothing would rid the wielder of the curse, and Guildmaster
Westwind was able to identify that once the weapon
was taken by another, the curse would eventually transfer to the new holder,
but why and how long it took were still unknown. The Sarr
seemed oblivious to the curse all together and explained she was only
practicing her craft but admitted she had only recently purchased the graver she
had used on the adventurers weapons from some shady characters she met on the
road near the location of the Crypt.
She turned the graver over to Baron Harrison who had
the Guildmaster confirm it was cursed and then set
off with a smaller group to return the tool to the tomb.
The party made their way to the chamber where the Guildmaster explained he felt the graver was pulling him
toward, and while the adventurers fought the swirling cursed humanoids, the Guildmaster and Derek Dreamweaver tried to work out how to
put the graver to rest and stop the creatures from attacking.
In a nearby chamber, Nathan and Derek found several
unfinished carvings and tried to use weapons, magic, and the graver itself to
modify them to no avail. Soon a spectral being appeared
covered in symbols and whispering that “Art is Blood” and with some
reluctance the Guildmaster cut into his own flesh and
touched the blooded graver to some of the unfinished carvings in the room.
This allowed him to begin working the graver into the various materials
continuing the half-finished carvings.
While Derek shouted the symbols to Nathan and guarded
the door, and the rest of the party held off wave after wave of the cursed
beings, the Guildmaster completed each of the
carvings which eventually stopped the flow of the cursed beings from the
portal. The graver was placed in a safe place in the crypt using
Raven’s Golem strength and the party returned to Fairdale to announce
that the curse on the weapons had been lifted.
Still, many other trophies are still at large after
the recent crypt robbery so travelers around Fairdale are warned to stay
vigilant and report suspicious activity to the Ducal Army, Nobility in
Fairdale, or the Mages’ Guild.
Retribution at Durremyne
Reef
On their recent visit to Evorra,
a group of adventurers investigated a lighthouse off the coast which had
suddenly gone dark. The lighthouse was supposed to warn sailors away from the
dangerous Durremyne Reef, but without the beacon,
many ships had run aground on the shoals. Those lucky crewmen that resurrected
told tales of an unnamed dread in the dark waters.
When the adventurers arrived at the reef, they were
met by a horrific sight: bloated corpses floated in the water, and the wrecks
of ships were decorated with the heads of their former crew. Inside the
lighthouse, they encountered a number of mindless, sea-weed-like creatures that
apparently had been placed there. They also discovered the charred corpse of
the lighthouse keeper, hung over the broken lamp which he had once tended.
The following message was smeared on the far wall in
human blood:
This is the fate of
those who cross the Sl’taghn.
Our sister, Xhal’hax, trusted you air-breathers, and forged an
alliance with you. To repay her trust, you took her family captive and
slaughtered her. Now, you murder our children, who we are forced by nature to
leave defenseless on your shores.
Is this how
land-dwellers treat other races? Is this how they treat those who they call
friends? The mighty Sl’taghn do
not suffer traitors, and so we will no longer suffer air-breathers.
You have been warned.
FOR XHAL’HAX
The Sl’taghn are a monstrous race of fish-like humanoids that inhabit the
seas off the coast of
The visiting adventurers successfully dispatched the
sea-weed creatures and relit the beacon. But this may not be the last they have
seen of the Sl’taghn.
Nordenn
Declaration
The Barony of Nordenn recently released the following declaration:
Decree of Friendship and Support from the Barony of Nordenn to the Isles of Camulous,
and all Principles
The People of the
Barony of Nordenn, under the leadership of His
Excellency, Baron Sir Harrison Ryatt, officially
recognizes the status and sovereignty of the Nation of the Isles of Camulous and its Council.
All citizens of the
Nation of the Isles of Camulous will be recognized
and protected under the Law while traveling within the borders of Nordenn. This includes all Children of Camulous, Satyrs who have been granted citizenship upon the
Isles, and any other race of beings which the Children of Camulous’
Elder Council ascribes citizenship to.
Tradesmen from the
Isles of Camulous are welcome to ply their wares
anywhere upon Nordenn soil. Until such time as
an official Trade Charter can be drafted, the standard import tariffs must
remain in place. The Court of Nordenn, however,
does extend an open invitation to the Isles of Camulous
to send a representative to discuss further trade negotiations at any
time.
The longstanding
tradition of Friendship and Support between The Barony
of Nordenn and the Isles of Camulous
will be upheld. The Children of Camulous
refugees which had settled in the estate of Crystal Falls for safety and
protection, are hereby given the option to remain as they are now as free and
protected citizens of the Barony, or they can return home to Dolphin Isle
should they choose. The Court of Nordenn will provide
passage for all those wishing to return home, free of charge.
In accordance with that
longstanding tradition of Friendship and Support, the Barony of Nordenn pledges, without need of a treaty, to lend Aid and
Protection to the Isles of Camulous when needed to
the best of the Barony's ability. Further, should information regarding
an enemy of either Icenia or the Isles of Camulous, such as any nation which openly uses or approves
the use of slavery or necromancy, be uncovered by the Children of Camulous, Nordenn officially
declares that any such information passed to Us privately would be welcome, and
the source kept public or private based upon the wishes of the Elder Council of
the Ilse of Camulous.
In addition, the Barony of Nordenn promises to relay
all knowledge of potential threats to our friends, the Nation of the Isles of Camulous, as soon as any risks to their sovereignty are
known.
We welcome the Isles of
Camulous into a new era of authority, sovereignty,
and prosperity.
Baron Harrison Accepted by Orc Council
In an attempt to unite the peoples of Nordenn behind him and his accession to the Baronial Seat,
His Excellency Baron Harrison has been speaking to the leaders of each of the
races that make up the Barony of Nordenn to see what
will be required for them to be able to accept himself and the Court of Nordenn as adopted members of their respective societies.
On the morning of Saturday the 4th, Jagdah Karal Stormfist
of the Orc Council of Peppercorn arrived in town to
discuss how this could be accomplished for the Orcs.
It turns out that there was an organization who had
been terrorizing the Orc population, burning villages
and killing innocents. They called themselves True Nordenn
-- and if the Court of Nordenn wanted to be thought
of as Orc Warriors, then they needed to handle the
problem for the Council, the way Orcs would -- kill
them and return their with their heads.
A team made up of His Excellency Baron Harrison, Sir Ulthoc, Telokh (the three ranking
members of the Court of Nordenn), Aubry
Darksun, Gregor Gallonovich, and Nuheran (all
currently walking with the Court and seeking membership) approached what Jagdah Stormfist said was the “hideout”
of the organization. Inside was an odd assortment of monster races
(including trolls) and constructs. Deep within the structure were the
apparent leaders of the group, who struck His Excellency rather than
choosing to surrender.
After being apprehended, they were brought forth, and Jagdah Stormfist was made aware
that they could in fact be brought back to Nordenn
for obliteration, rather than simply being killed once here. She seemed
rather pleased with this idea. She then made the following decree to all
present, in both Orcspeak and the common
tongue.
“Harken! The court of Nordenn has triumphed over hatred, over greed, and over the
Kuntal Trial. The alliance between the humans of Nordenn and the Orc people is
preserved and our friendship rekindled.”
Following the speech, she produced a cup and
dagger. Cutting herself and all members of the Court of Nordenn present, she mixed their blood together into the
cup, then each drank from it, reforging
the bond between the Orc Council and the Court of Nordenn.
“I mark
Lord Harrison,” she announced, “who is recognized as the ruler of
the Towers of Nordenn, and an honorable man.”
Gigantic Black Stag Seen in the
A gigantic black stag was
seen uprooting trees and smashing its way through the forest. It fled to
the east, to points unknown. Our office has received little information
about the creature or its destination, even following formal requests. An

Orc / Ogre
Relations Worsen Near Fairdale
The relations between our two most
dentally emphatic races seems to have taken a turn for the worse
recently. It is common for some tribes of Orcs
and Orgres to constantly engage in one-up-manship with each other. However, tensions seem to be
rising between the Severed Head Orc clan and a local
village of the Nokhoi Clan of Ogres. The
dispute seems to center around the Nokhoi using “tuskless assassins” in their traditional back and
forth games.
Tragic Day for Royal Mages’ Guild
On the 5th night of the Serpent, the mangled remains
of Assistant Guildmaster Armand
Guild business must go on, despite the tragedy. Guildmistress Lizarra appointed
her apprentice, Wizard Jade Hammond, as her new Assistant Guildmaster.
About Hoblings
by Kialda Loa
A note for the
adventuring community:
The following article
is a personal reflection taken from the pages of my journals. I chose to
publish my perspective because of my desire to make the world at large a more
understanding place. I by no means am attempting to offend any
individual, race, or cultural identity. I am reflecting upon my personal
experiences and observations in an effort to make a comparison of
lifestyle. Thank you for understanding, and it
is my hope that the insights of my experience can bring peace to all races.
Hoblings – A Comparison of Values
During a gather a few months ago, I had the
opportunity to meet and observe two Hoblings relaxing
in the Black Stag Tavern in Fairdale. They were participating in a card
game known as “Blackjack.” I was enthralled by what these
people found entertaining: To be pitted against one another in
competition, to hold coin at such a high value that risks and gambles into the
unknown were seen as exciting, to fabricate a complicated system of numbers and
meaning to “win” this competition … all for amusement.
What I did not realize at that point was just how dire the consequences could
be for me and my people from a race that has such a different set of values.
This past gather, I found myself involved in a
misunderstanding of both culture and value. A Hobling
merchant approached my Kiergani friends and me to
“hunt a beast that was attacking the workers” of a nearby
mine. The first cultural misconception is that the Hobling
thought Kiergani were hunters for hunting’s
sake, and had no moral or ethical opinion. From my understanding, Kiergani hunt as a way of life in the Forest, but see the
protection of the
Upon entering the nearby woods to locate the mine, my Kiergani friends and I did indeed come across this
“beast,” but we were also surprised to see the
In our earnest desire to save what remained of the
forest, my friends and I destroyed the mines and planted new trees. When
we returned to the local tavern, there was much to be discussed with the Hobling miner. The third and most important
misconception, in my eyes, was how the Hobling was
valuing silver more than the life of the
Speaking with this Hobling
merchant granted me much insight into a different culture. I must admit,
I do not know if the zealousness of this particular Hobling
is common among their people as a whole. In fact, I am inclined to
believe against it, for the amount this Hobling had
destroyed in the pursuit of silver was against even the local laws, and the
actions are now being scrutinized by the authorities of that area. So I
would say with some certainty that not all Hoblings
searching for business and coin would go to this extent. However, I will
still chronicle the opinions expressed by that individual Hobling,
for the purpose of inquiring into the values she expressed and explaining how
they are seen as a misconception in the eyes of Children and Autumn and, from
what I know, the Kiergani as well.
This Hobling woman informed
us that obtaining silver is mandatory in life, from dining equipment to weapons
for protection. My Kiergani friends explained
that they live in the woods for months, eating and drinking naturally, and
protecting friends with hand-crafted weaponry that had no need for such
mines. I explained that manufactured silver is in fact unpleasant for my
people, and being around too much of it can cause aching and burning. In
no way do our people need it for tools of any kind.
This Hobling woman informed
us that mines of that magnitude are necessary or silver will not be
found. My Kiergani friends explained that much
silver can be found in mountainous areas that are more suitable for mining, and
I explained that natural metals can be found near rivers and among rocks in
specific areas of the
The Hobling woman explained
that the loss of such a large and “successful” mine was detrimental
to her people and her way of life. My Kiergani
friends and I all earnestly explained that the loss she felt paled in
comparison to the loss we felt. Where she was losing a business venture,
we were losing our homes, and perhaps even our brethren. I would find it
hard to fathom that Hoblings find their business just
as important as the lives of their family, though her speechlessness on this
point neither confirmed nor denied that assumption.
Again, I wish to clearly state that the intent of this reflection is
not to criminalize one race of people. I have adventured with and
befriended a number of Hobling, and I find their
personalities amiable and interesting. The intent of publishing this
reflection is to clarify the differences in our values, in the hopes of
avoiding such an unpleasant confrontation in the future. I encourage any
and all discourse in response to the opinions I have expressed. It is my
hope that more people will come to love and protect the

A Little Birdie Told Me
By Sue D’Onym
Hello, dearies! Time for another installment of the News They Don’t Want You To Know!
Just the other day, this
columnist was approached by a man of diminutive stature who insisted upon a
private meeting with the Ashbury Times.
Apparently he had a message of utmost importance to deliver to the people of Icenia. This man, Conrad
Starch, staunchly believes that Baron Ivan
Drake of Blythedale was not a human, as most
people believe, but in fact a dragon of “goodness and order”
disguised as one, because mankind is simply not yet ready for a being so pure
and excellent to exist among them.
They may present a united front during his Grace’s
tournaments, but the members of Blythedale seem to be
a mess on the battlefield, recently blundering their way into Squire Ithica’s
death in Evorra. Though the Commander was able
to resurrect and eventually make his way back to the gathering, a number of
adventurers overheard the team bickering amongst themselves over who was at
fault for the death; the undisciplined court members, or the glory-hound Squire
himself.
Meanwhile, in Nordenn, in a semi-public and
brief ceremony, His Excellency Baron Harrison
Ryatt named the Kyralia Telokh as the
new Baronial Seneshcal. While kneeling to
accept this position from His Excellency, Telokh also
swore his allegiance to the Baron of Nordenn, using a
Vansir oath ring! And what was Baron Harrison’s first
order of business for his new Seneschal? “Get me two obliteration
sets, for the traitors known as the ‘True Nordenn’.”
Apparently the stone elven
mage known as “Sir” Symerille has been studying construct designs with an old
woman in the Fairdale area. Is it possible that he finally created a permanent
home for his mind? He seems to be talking to himself and muttering.
Has he been spending too much time in a construct?
The Kergani Leona who is often seen palling around
with Mages’ Guildmaster Nathan Westwind and who has even been
rumored to be invested in the Guild circle has recently been spending a lot of
time with her own kind including the Amani Ranger Drak and Saradys of the
snake tribe. One keen-eyed reader also noticed her sporting a serpent
bracelet that looks suspiciously similar to the ones Saradys
wears. Is the wild elf considering joining the snake tribe, or is she
simply excepting gifts from all of her suitors? (If so, more power to her!)
That’s all for this
month! Just remember: If you can’t say something nice about
someone, come sit by me.
