Why I Want To Go - Ashen Bounty XII

 By Adrian "Cronin" Cronin

Greetings fellow adventurers,

Fall is here. The crisp October air brings a scald to the tempered heat of our summer battles. A great time to offer gratitude for all of our victories, revel and reap the great harvest. And what a bounty shall be provided in the lands of Ashenmark this weekend.

Twenaria, has bewitched me with her culinary magics. As a warrior, I’ve dedicated my life to Vandor; however to know my true fury… you need only try to keep me from that kitchen. My armor will surely need adjusting for the labyrinth and any combat tournament taking place. 

The labyrinth promises great riches to the team who can complete it. Last years labyrinth presented quite the challenge, I look forward to testing my mettle in its halls once more. Tourneys will sate my appetite for battle, as it is always and honor to trade blows with the great heroes of the realms.

I too, look forward to hearing how well Ashenmark has faired since last years evacuation. They are a resilient lot, with whom I have pledged my aid in the restoration of their lands. Whatever fowl enemy threatens Ashenmark surely threatens us all. I for one will repay their hospitality with displays of prowess, honor and glory. Woe to our enemies. Glory to Ashenmark!

-Commander Cronin Barbaria of the Broken Spears Free Company

OOC:

This is my favorite event of the year. It’s the one I push to my fellow Broken Spears as a buffet of what the realms has to offer. Some questing, bit of feasting, tourneys and plenty of interesting activities. It’s truly not one you want to miss.

I can’t wait to unwind alongside all of you after what has been a very memorable and epic summer. Plenty ahead for the fall and winter,  but when such a bounty presents itself… you’d be a fool not revel.

Yom Kippur

From the staff, may you have an easy fast if you participate in today's traditions, yom tov if not. There is still an article for today about an upcoming feast event, which feels appropriate.

Rumors around the Realms October 1025

  

Rumors around the Realms October 1025

Central Realms Settlements 

Reports of missing livestock have increased a bit, especially from goatherds.  When searching for the missing animals, all that is found is bits of ash.

Blackavar

Rumors of dragon activity in the northern outskirts of Blackavar. A dragon hunting organization is looking for aid.

Across the realms

It's once again heard via messages passed around for the good people of the Realms to not be alarmed that a dragon is opening its hoard to others. The missives are the same as last year by all estimates. Any who write and deposit a letter at Black and White will receive a response and a gift. Letters are to contain what is asked for so that the dragon may choose gifts as appropriate. Gifts will then be dispersed by an ambassador at a later point. All exchanges are peace bound and in good faith.

All attempts to reach the towns of Greystone, Hollowmere, and Marrowford have been met with silence. With so few soldiers to spare, only a handful were sent to follow the old roads, but they returned with troubling reports. The towns themselves could not be found, as if they had never stood there at all. In their place were strange ruins showing decay not known to our time. Some whisper that creatures linger among them, restless, though none can say for certain what they seek.
