Rumors around the Realms July1025

Shadowlands

A new species/creature has been found within the Shadowlands.  With the building of the sacred candle for the Church of Shadow, which some have seen at the Blue Rose Tournaments, the creatures seem to be coming from the wax dripping off it.  Queen Karmha has dubbed them Waxtons, being made of wax and all.  They are not hostile, in fact they tend to help out those who belong to the Church of Shadow.   They are tiny so perfect to get by things without being noticed and stand no more then 4’’ tall and look like tiny candles.  At Evie’s Midnight Festival that just past some of them may have been seen at Karmha Creations shop.  They helped Karmha set up and break down first thing in the morning so that the Queen could get back to the Shadowlands to work on her many orders that are coming in.  And as we all know Queen Karmha will never turn down good help.  More is being looked into on the origins and the motive of these new creatures.  As for now Karmha is using them as scouts to investigate the strange door that appeared at the Neden BBQ.  Archie has divined that the key found that day leads to people’s memories and that we are currently seeking to explore JB’s, as he was attacked by cultist at the bbq and they appear to have used the key on him for unknown reasons.  More information is coming back from the Waxton scouts as time goes by and honestly it is making no sense to anyone.  The only thing that we can think of is the cultist that have been seen within the lands did something to block certain information that JB might have obtained.  Queen Karmha and Jayce did send JB on an investigation on these cultists and have yet to hear that he has found anything.  Maybe that’s why they kidnapped him for the brief amount of time before the hero’s of the realms went and saved him?  What are they hiding?  Who are they?  

Realms

Desperate messengers from a small forest hamlet have been appearing at surrounding villages, begging for help or for a place to relocate.  Their own village can no longer keep livestock, as every animal is stolen, and the game in their forest has dwindled to near nothing.

East of Chimeron

Foresters claim that fall has come early to a long swath of the woods, where leaves have browned and fallen already.

Across the Realms

You lay down to sleep.  Your dreams are nice and pleasant and as your dream continues it gradually gets darker.  The moon which was full in the sky becomes covered by some clouds.  As you wait for the moon to reappear, it never d

oes.  You then notice that the stars have also disappeared.  The clouds are no longer visible as the entire sky is dark creating a shadow over everything.  You run and hide, knowing that the dawn will come, but as you wait it never does.

Unknown

Reports have come in from across the realms of corpses found exsanguinated.  Next to some of the bodies have been a jar of blood with a paintbrush.

Unknown

In the mountains of Blackavar, a resounding CRACK could be heard on a lovely Summer's day that was otherwise uneventful. It seems that both House Carnac and the Orc Tribe near Archendell have dispatched explorers to investigate. Preliminary reports seem to reflect that it originated from near the Ferret's Den, a naturally guarded area of the mountains near the River Archendale.
