Sister city Phirezal is starting to shake the old iron grip of Mog, it is whispered, and pump new blood into her veins. The second generation of a secret organization has come of age and is striving now to re-obtain the power and position their fathers once commanded. However they face the same challenges the earlier wave of upstarts once did. The grip of Mog's power about the city is tight, and any deviation from his path that might lead to a more prosperous fate for the town's people runs the risk of drawing Nok attention. There are few names directly connected to these events, though sources who cannot be disclosed at this time adamantly defend the organization's validity and existence. It has been established, however, that the nobility of Ekur is being lead by a one Lalartu. Their intentions are of course nobly proclaimed to be for the good of Ellandor. Those unrelated to the cause, however, are skeptical- and that would be putting it lightly. Much criticism has been heaped upon those who work for the Ekur cause due to their time spent away from their home city. It has been pointed out that the rallying points are not entirely clear and that the relatively new nobility of Devenon that they are attempting to mimmic are not the best of role models. None of the Lords could be reached for a comment on the matter, nor any opinions offered up by filthy trespassing Nok soldiers. Though claiming to be on the brink, the group does not expect to begin recruiting for at least several more months. | | + + | +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ | +========================|T|h|e|y| |D|i|d| |W|h|a|t|?|======================+ | +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ | + __ + | / () | + | + | \___/onversations with a Cat! | Citizens of of Devenon have recently been delighted by the appearance of a Pujmaran priestess currently visiting the city and surrounding areas. The coppery coated beauty going by the name Aradia and claims she is simply traveling and is unconnected to the Pujmaran government. Madam Aradia is just one aspect of a growing interest in the cat-people city from across the sea. The dryad Anlani raved about the shopping upon returning from her visit, and it has become a growing stopping point for world-traveling explores. + + | , | + (| | |_/ + | | | | | + \/ \/ ickedness Plagues White Rose! + In the month of the Scorpion, 1426, the rumor has been spreading like wildfire that a high ranking council member of the White Rose organization was hauled off by the Devenon nuada. The cause of this shocking action? The murder- and perhaps more- of our cities children! It is unclear what the motives for these atrocious actions are, but the fact that he may be a Psionicist would perhaps explain some things. Midir would not comment when pressed on the issue, and citizens waits with hushed anticipation to see what the organizations reaction will be. | | + + | __, | + / | + | | | | + \_/\_/ssault upon the Royal Corpse! + Devenon suffers the trickery of the vile Shadow Ward as an attempt to steal the King's honored corpse was made once again. In the month of the Guardian, 1425- ironically enough- the attack was made although again efforts by the wicked organization were thwarted. Ever the hero to his city's people, Amarin successfully lead the charge to reclaim the honored corpse. He was assisted by Morph, of the house Dazui. Does this mean the filthy L'shar will finally learn their lesson that Devenon will not be toyed with? Or perhaps does it suggest that the much absent Dazui house actually does exist though capable of only assisting when times are dire? | | + + | +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ | +========================|H|a|v|e| |Y|o|u| |S|e|e|n|?|======================+ | +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ | + , + | /| | | + |--| + | | |)ave you seen the numerous kind acts done by the generous Agneta?
