Rumors for September 1022

[Northern Realms: The Roanoke River]

The Roanoke River’s water levels have been rising, and fishermen and the ferry men that take their boats down the river have said the water has started running from the sea inland.  The salt content of the water is also usually high in the water as well.

The border of Achoria that touches this river has started to see some minor flooding at the river’s edge.

[Eastern Realms: Along the Coast]

There have been reports of a crew of dangerous Pirates looting and destroying villages on the Eastern Coast of the Realms. The captain of this crew is said to “wear the hide of a dragon” and “be immune to all mortal weapons”. Further investigation into these claims is required.

((Rumormonger’s note: SMAS will be having NNQ on Friday September 30th. If you are interesting in helping us NPC please reach out to gr-smas-officers@wpi.edu))

[Chimeron]

A brilliant flash of white light was seen coming from the Silvan Sanctuary Farming Commune a few days ago. Additionally, a tall ghostly figure in a wizard hat has been seen wandering around the Sivan Sanctuary Farming Commune and occasionally Darkvale. He's oftentimes accompanied by a young girl.

With much of the supporting infrastructure now complete, construction efforts on the banks of the Rowan have now turned to a large complex of buildings near the southern gate of the city. Many of the craftspeople and laborers are expressing their excitement to finally be working on “the academy”.

[Stonewood]

The restored farms of northern Stonewood's harvest have been fairly successful, with only a fraction of the crops lost to residual demonic energies. One or two of these farms seem to be aided by invisible nature spirits, but the cost for their aid seems to take an incredible toll on people.

~~~

The first physical branch of the Loken-Swift Library just North of Starhaven was slated to open at the end of summer, but for whatever reason has not. The staff is getting paid, and the place seems ready to go, but it waits.

~~~

Starhaven's mandatory curfew has rolled back from 9pm to midnight, with talks of being removed entirely if the start of fall stays quiet.

[Southern Wastes]

Multiple sightings of Gold Dragons have been reported. It is unclear whether this is 1 dragon moving sighted multiple times, or several different dragons. The sightings appear to be heading north.
