ChrisC:

[[Category:Character]][[Category:Fiona Cole]]A female E&E mage of repute. And what a reputation she had! Before she got all pious and started calling herself [[Lady Dark]], she was a courtesan, achieving rank 9. She had a bold and brassy demeanour, often showing some strong avaricious tendencies. Whether or not this was related to her dogged pursuit of fellow guild member [[Silverfoam]] one wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

She was a reporter for Seagate Myrror, and worked for the [[Seagate Times]], writing the "Silken Web" of gossip and innuendo.

Silken is played by Fiona Cole

<div >__NOTOC__</div>Aladar is a large duchy, which along with [[Aquila]] and [[Bowcourt]], comprise the bulk of the Western Kingdom.

The land is mostly rugged hills with poor crop-land, and so the bulk of land is used for grazing animals. Situated on the coast to the south of Aquila it's wealth comes from the volumes of Aquilan goods that transit the roads and rivers before being shipped to distant lands and it is a popular destination for foreign traders.

Due to it's history and the recent war, the people of Aladar are often clannish and strongly nationalistic, priding themselves on resilience strength at arms and have a disdain for the courtly graces of Aquilans.

=Places=
The Duchy comprises one county, eight viscountcies and two shires.
==Counties==
*[[County Grobbety]], ruled by Count [[Schaefer Family|Grobbane Schaefer]] Eldest Son and designated heir of Count Grobban who died in Summer 800 and head of the [[Schaefer Family]].

== Rulers of the Realm ==
===Duke of Aladar ===
The holder of the title Duke of Aladar had been absent from the Western Kingdom since the [[Middle Duchies War]] and it was not until Spring 806 that a new duke took power.

# [[Alagaad Family|Baltmond Alagaad]] of the [[Alagaad Family]], He was the Viscount of [[Zumalar]] who became the Duke of Aladar on the 3rd of Blossom 806 (Spring 806) after the [[Aladarian Congress of Lords]] elevated him to the position.

==Groups==
===The Clear Blade of Truth===
Around 1500 [[Michaelines]] members. The group has most influence within the north east of the Duchy.

==Governing Principles==
===Leadership Post Mortem===
Upon the death of any leader within the Duchy of Aladar, they automatically lose their title to the next in line. If they recover then they are expected to keep a low profile, and no longer use their influence that they may have once had. The few times that former leaders of families did rebel against this tradition, lead to the Post Mortem being extended to all by the Duke with popular support. This 'Post Mortem' is a decree that is in effect a stay of death, to former leaders as long as they do not use their influence or try to establish themselves once more as a leader. After the war a lot of families where left with very youthful leaders, and the decree was very lax. The decree does not stop people that have been resurrected from becoming a leader.

===Sect of Magic Imprenatibilis===
With a dark history of death of leaders from the effects of magic, around 150 years ago a popular defence was found.
It is seen as not only a defence by also a test of character. The Aladarian Battle relic from before the Old Kingdom, could be used to 'make people become invisible to magic'. 

This harder choice of life is well respected within the Duchy. People that have undergone this Court Ritual often die from complications from battle wounds, gout, syphilis or other infections. The Court Ritual involves pacting to 'Warrior King Alaric', once Duke of Aladar, whose mother was Elven, and who became a demigod and left the mortal realm several generations ago.

Since the Duchy wars many noble families only allow the third or fourth child to approach the court, which is honour bound to accept any noble wishing the 'test' and would be a grave insult if refused. Since the war none have been refused. Attempts in the past to resurrect members have failed. Often members of the Sect are also [[Michaelines]]. Within Aladar around 30% of the nobility accept this 'life style' choice, of which more are men.

Rumours of Aquila mustering troops to then spend 3 weeks marching to [[Drakenburg]]. The party was hired to defend the small city of [[Drakenburg]]. 
 
The troops of Aquila in a surprise move captured the outside of Drakenburg township in a single night. In the morning around 12,000 troops from Aquila held the town. The Aquila troops also supported by [[Order of Unmatched Tempering]], and lead by the [[Tomas Xerxes|Bishop of Mordeaux]], both of which earned the respect of the party. [[Richard of Foxcourt]] was also leading. 
 
* The battle started with the ''Lightning of Dawn'', and tactic from Aquila - involving firing hundreds of 'Lightning bolts' into the air at the start of battle to demoralise their enemy.
* The party did extremely well and defending against the [[Order of Unmatched Tempering]]. 
* The party captured [[Richard of Foxcourt]] on the field of battle. 
 

A few weeks later after the withdraw (for the safe return of [[Richard of Foxcourt]]) of the forces of Aquila (withdraw by magic and rune portals under the cover of darkness), the party pursued them into southern Aladar, where the party ran into the [[Ruby Scourge|Ruby Scourge (Drow god dragon)]], and some Drow warrior/assassin/priests, involved in a large early winter Weather control ritual. They party reached a deal after defeating the Ruby Scourge that he would not return to [[Lands_of_Alusia#The_Western_Kingdom|these shores]] as long as no Guild party went to [[Terranova]]. Some [[Sabrina|party members still wear]] [[Ruby Scourge|dragon skin armour]] from this encounter.

===Extract from SGT===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xTn1lKB_tXFAJraqC2tg0Ljd-lSiLZ5U/view?usp=sharing SGT 5]

The dominant forces in June were the seiges of Novellar and Drakenburg
City, capital cities of Alidar and Drakenburg. This was reported to be an
attempt by the Aquillan forces to quickly end the war, however this did not
eventuate and the seiges turned into long and drawn out battles.
Guild parties were involved in both
cities, acting as defenders. Bleyze,
editor of The Seagate Times and
involved in the Drakenburg defence
commented on the battle’s scale:
“The bodies of the first 600 Urielite
troops were an excellent vantage point
to prepare for the second minute of
combat. At least we could then see
the other 10-thousand odd troops we
were about to deal with.”

The Aquilan siege of Drakenburg
City was lifted when reinforcements
from Eltrandor attacked the seigers
from the rear. The Aquilan forces
were beseiged for two weeks between
the Drakenberg and Eltradorian forces
before they were forced to withdraw.
It is believed that the Aquilan forces
used Rune Portals to escape the
Aladarian forces. However where they
went is still unknown.

Novellar fell to the invaders in late
July, with reports of over 5000
casualties on the Alidarian side.

Reports from the city are scarce as it is
under military rule with the local
populace under strict curfew. But food
and other essential materials are said
to be running extremely low and there
is concern that the famine currently
experienced by the citizens may soon
be compounded by plagues caused by
the large numbers of dead bodies.

At the same time, the battle for the
highlands continues to range
unabated between the main armies of
Aladar and Aquilain. This long
contested area is being closely fought
and correspondents say the two sides
are evenly matched and looks like it
will become a long drawn out bloody
campaign.

==Part One: What Really Happened ?==
At the end of Winter, 1996AP, I was asked to round up a flock of strayed sheep
by the shepherds d'Tama. Apparently, one of the sheep was in fact a Black wolf
in sheep's clothing, and was endangering the health of the other lead rams.

One of the two lead rams wasn't all there, and had been missing for some time
(maybe 2 years). The other was little more than a lamb, and had very Light
coloured wool. A pack of hounds had driven this stray lamb to my doorstep, and
promised vast payments if I could collect the whole flock, establish the
positions of the two lead Rams and find the wolf in sheep's clothing. The wolf
had been hiding in the hills for a couple of years, worrying the sheep, after
having been led astray by a dark vixen who wasn't playing with a full deck of
cards.

I rounded up a pack of bitches, and a dog to keep them in line. They were:
;Elle
: a bloodhound with hypnotic eyes and a rough tongue that could heal most wounds. She led the pack in any scraps.
;Kay
:a scrappy little alley mutt who had recently lost grip on reality, and was timid.
;Jay
:a red setter who could hold her own in a mix-up and could fly across the ground, but was as playful as a sparrow.
;Ivy
:an eastern Wolfhound, black as night, without redeeming features, but deadly and loyal.
;Wheeler
:a blue pointer who could inspire followers back from the dead, and was the Top Dog.

Before leaving, we asked the stars for guidance, and they said
"Water , water everywhere, but not a drop to drink".
We said "Huh?"
and they explained thus
"Upon a painted ship, upon a painted ocean".
We gave up.

On the day of Fools, after morning tea, we set off north in a gaudy minstrel's
wagon travelling separately from the pack of hounds and the lost lamb. The
wolfhounds were Ben and Louis; and the greyhound, Kate. Kate was loveable, but
fought like a tiger, and had an eye for the top dog in any pack. Ben and Louis
were steady.

At the first pasture we stayed in, the lamb bleated, letting all the animals
know that the two packs were connected. I told Kate to bite him if that
happened again, otherwise we would be having lambs-tongue. The pack yipped and
howled until they were fed supper by a local 'keeper. After that, it became
a routine for us to do a dog and pony show rather than paying for a night's
rest.

On the third day north, shortly after lunch, the lamb and his herders had
strayed several minutes ahead of the droving wagon. When we came around a bend
in the path through the woods, we came across Ben and Louis asleep by the
road. Elle, Jay, Ivy and Wheeler charged off into the woods following a trail
that Wheeler had picked up. Five hundred yards in were a pack of a dozen
huskies and an EyE dog. The huskies had big curved fangs, and were as skilled
as they come. Their Eye dog was tired, but still slowed my bitches, and sped
some of his huskies. Wheeler Suddenly Leapt Extra Enthusiastically, Pawing,
and 1/2 a dozen went down, while the others tidied up the remnants. Ivy got
badly hurt, but Elle licked it better. The EyE dog fled without leaving a
trail, and could not be traced. Kay and I turned up after collecting stray
horses & tending the wagon, and stopped Elle from ripping out the throats of
the huskies Wheeler had taken down. The fangs and hides were of value, and
sold to the authorities, along with the feral dogs. The dogs had a magic rock
as well.

The fourth through sixth days of Spring were uneventful as we casually
travelled through southern Ranke. The other pack kept a couple of hours ahead
of us, but we caught up to them on the evening of the seventh. That night,
Kay, Jay, Elle, Ivy and Kate went for a dog paddle around a pool, while the
lads went off on a bit of a hunt. While swimming next to the small falls, Kay
was seized by an aquatic dwarf, and held under water. The rest of the girls
struggled to help, and killed two of the dwarves while savaging the other two,
but Kay was dead to the world. The lads loped back when they heard the howls
of despair, and Wheeler licked Kay back to her feet. She was shaken, but
unhurt. The aquatic dwarves had little of value.

By the end of the ninth day, we reached Dar. The tenth was spent in a peaceful
trip on a barge to Silverstream. Cutting through the mountain pass after the
weather changed, we made Windermere by dusk on the twelfth. We rested the next
day, taking advantage of the natural thermal pools. Jay, as a red setter was
particularly refreshed, but the whole pack was pleased. We sailed over the
haunted lake, and had unconfirmed sightings of lake serpents and fresh water
merfolk or maybe the dogs just saw their own reflections! The fifteenth and
sixteenth were days for me to plan, and I split the two packs up again, with
my sheep dogs having a couple of hours lead.

We arrived in Taen's Field mid morning on the seventeenth, and found an
appropriate kennel. They was an atmosphere of fear and violence, and most
sheep were timid. When the little lamb entered the field around noon, we were
at the gate to escort him in discreetly. Kay & I lead them in, with Elle and
Ivy following. Wheeler and Jay went off to cover some shepherd boys that were
counting our sheep, and traced them back to a hunched figure they called
Fagan. We then explored the field, and noticed that there were two main flocks
of sheep owned by the d'Tama's and the Medici's, as well as several other
minor herds. Their business practices were pretty cut-throat, and a lot of
large dogs patrolled the field, each keeping to their own turf. During this
time, a cat took Elle's tongue.

As dusk fell, Jay and Elle went into the pen where the little white lamb was
staying, disguised as lap dogs. The rest of the pack skulked around outside.
Suddenly there was a yell, and a huge transparent dog leapt out of the pen and
ran across the garden. He breathed, and a huge wall of thorns sprang up behind
him, and then he leapt down a well. I jumped on Ivy's back and vaulted the 10'
fence, and chased after him. By this time, the outside pack were all inspired
and running double quick, and I had turned transparent to chase the enemy dog
more easily. I jumped down the well, but it was all boarded up, so Ivy leapt
down beside me. We pushed through the wall with a spectral shove, and Ivy
charged down a tunnel. Another thorn bush had sprung up, so I called for a
sword to be thrown down. It must have been my thick country accent, for the
guards threw a dagger at me. However, Ivy had worried away at the thorn bush,
and an accidental shove in the back from me pushed her all the way through.
We ran down some tunnels, and realised that they were connected to the sewer
network. Expecting trouble, I caught a glimpse of the moon (one night off
new), and changed. Ivy and I tore through the tunnels until we lost the scent.
We met up with Kate, and she opened a man hole so we could leap up a ladder
to get out. Wheeler caught up and re-invigorated us, and Ivy and I set off.

Kate started looking for a horse, but we caught a scent, and chased after the
galloping sounds ahead. We ran helter-skelter through alley ways and streets,
and were just behind a dark figure on a huge, panicked horse, when the path
opened out to a huge bridge leading to the Medici pen. With a last burst, I
leapt for the steed, and balanced on its rump long enough to throw my weight
on the riding figure. We fell, and I managed to break his fall to stop him
from being harmed, then rolled with him until I was on top. I sat on him,
lolling, as he slashed repeatedly at me, until Ivy arrived and put her fangs
to his throat (I have sworn never to harm another).

It seemed that Ben had tried to worry the lamb, but Kate, who was trying to
explain tupping to him, intervened in time. Jay and Elle soothed the sheep,
and spent the night there to keep them all safe. The little lamb found Elle's
tongue overnight, and they met us in the morning.

The eighteenth was a quiet day - I took Wheeler to a meeting of minstrels,
where he chased a bitch that used to ride herd on a flock of sheep including
the second Ram we were looking for. We got cosy with her pack, and found a
cold trail - 2 years old, heading downstream. The next day we sailed north.
On the way, Wheeler found a very recent trail heading out of the field to the
Fetch Wood, which seemed to belong to the original wolf in sheep's clothing.
We kept an eye on him, and sent a message back to the field, telling the lamb
that "The black stoat is in the Fetch wood", and drew a frog so he knew it was
us. That evening we asked at a couple of kennels, and got a good description
of the bird the ram flew out on - apparently it had been back in port the
previous day.

At dawn on the twentieth, Wheeler and I approached the Sun God who lived
there. He was known to burn all bitches who crossed his path, but we wheedled
seagull wings from him for all of us, and one more for a stone. We flew as
high as the sun, with the breeze, and Wheeler and I caught the swift Osprey,
and wrestled it down to the water. We confronted a mongrel called George, who
could look like the ram at will, and stripped him of his powers, leaving him
with a protection from evil eyes instead. We released the Osprey, and as it
glided on, we followed the Sun's chariot back to my own home hillside, where
Elle got more health problems sorted, and we asked the stars for more
guidance, having found the false trail (while the ship and the ocean were
real, the ram was painted). They patiently replied "He sits within a web,
gathering information. He knows all that happens. He is closer to home than
you think". We instantly realised that the shadowy figure answering to Fagan
was the ram, proving the third line wrong immediately (the second would follow
shortly). We slept over in Elle's pen.

On the morning of the twenty-first, we changed the coat of the dogs, and
headed back to Taen's Field riding Vance's bat. Approaching out of the sun,
it was obvious something was wrong - a stream of refugees were fleeing, and
a pall of smoke hung over the field. Landing, we ascertained that it was
plague, and headed in. As Wheeler, Elle and I could all cure plague, we were
not concerned. The field was nearly empty. We caught a few shepherd boys and
dragged some of them along in our teeth (mine fainted from my howls so I
didn't mark him - sewers have odd acoustics). We found the figure Fagan, and
lo - it was the missing ram! He told us of the cause of the plague - the wolf
in sheep's clothing was causing it, and had a group of 30 huskies and a dead
bitch helping. They hung around a bit of turf in the middle of the field,
claiming the entire field and promising to stop the plague. We got a promise
for him to return to the flock, as well as covering our expenses, and headed
through the field to the centre. We entered some empty huts, and snuck through
the attics into adjoining huts via convenient Erelhein-designed holes. By dusk
we overlooked the enemy's lair. Wheeler sniffed the place out, and scratched
out a map. I sent Kay into the river behind the place to lay down a hide so
that they wouldn't hear us strike. While she swore it was an hour's task, it
took her until 2 hours before dawn. We gathered our collective minds and
headed to their lair. We smashed a hole in the wall and stood watching them
for 10 minutes. One by one, we became transparent and drifted through the
sleeping dogs. Jay lit a candle in the deepest darkest hole, and we found the
wolf and the dead bitch curled up around each other. Wheeler peered at them
through his eye, and breathed gently until their slumbers were deep and even.

Jay and Ivy then picked up the mutts and dragged them back to the hole.
Meanwhile, some of the more soundly sleeping huskies had their collars taken.
The watch was getting suspicious at the occasional noise, but couldn't see us.

Just after dawn we dropped the wolf and his bitch off at the d'Tama pen, then
rounded up the second ram (disguised as a ewe, for some reason). The family
reunion was intense, and their cups overflowth and filled our coffers. With
the wolf gone, the plague cleared up, and we took the money and ran. The
horses, wagon, and stray dogs trickled back to the green pastures of home over
the next two months.

==Part Two: Just the Facts==

===Travel Notes===
We took the coastal route through southern Ranke, then cut through the lakes and mountain passes to avoid Sanctuary. This is one of the standard routes, and avoids the Enchanted Forest and Sanctuary. However, a day south of the Carzala / Ranke border, we were attacked by an E&E (Sleep, Quickness, Slowness, Teleport?) who got away, though all his dozen thugs (chainmail, Tulwar Rk 8) were captured.

Additionally, just inland of the south-western point of Ranke, we found a pool with a waterfall, and four Fossegrimme. Some may still be around - two were left tied up to a tree.

The entire rest of the party insisted that I point out that Windermere, on the south side of one of Ranke's mountain lakes, has the most luxurious thermal pools, but I warn you that they are muddy and smelly. Merfolk and sea-serpents were seen in the mere - it is several hundred feet deep. There are regular barge/ferry services up the Winder Mere, the lake north of it, and from Tainsfield to the sea port.

The sea port at the mouth of the [[River Tain]] has a powerful Solar Mage known as Apollo, living in a tower. He sells light magics, and runs a lighthouse.
He has Rank 20 Star Wings available to strangers. He is a misogynist. Phaeton used to be his apprentice, and he is friendly with Herkum (Head of Mind
College), so he likes adventurers.

'''Tainsfield''' Notes: Tainsfield is a bustling town of around 10,000. The River
Taen runs through the middle, splitting the town into Southside & Northside,
with three bridges across. The river is approximately 50 feet wide, and
dredged regularly. The Southside law is run by the d'Tama, the Northside by
the Medici. This town is dangerous - a man was shot dead in the streets, and
people just stepped over the body. Armed (short sword / club) bands of 5-8 men
in black armour patrol regularly, and watch from roof tops. There is no
official curfew, but activities after dark should be performed rapidly and
discreetly. There is a large group of urchins and guttersnipes that form an
informal network which now serves d'Tama. Fires and Plague have recently
decimated the town, and the spring fair (St David's) was cancelled. If the
level of open conflict does not die down, I believe that Tainsfield will
decline as a preferred destination.

The Tuneful Tabor is a high-quality Inn which doubles as the local Troubadour
Guild HQ. Out of town Troubadours are welcome. General performance quality is
good, but avoid the amateur nights. Avoid the Inns recommended by guards -
they will be of good quality, but closely watched / patronised by the ruling
families.

There is an extensive tunnel network through the town, based on the old sewer
system. There are pop-ups throughout town, as well as the more usual
entrances. However, the d'Tama's have sealed off their entrance through the
old well.

===D'Tama Notes===
Seagate Guild members have an advantage with dealing with the d'Tama's, as
Phaeton (known there as Phil) is a scion of the house. In the next six months
he will become heir, as Paul d'Tama inherits from Donald, their father.
:Donald is not a mage.
:His wife is an untrained Mind Mage.
:Phaeton is a medium-level, non-violent Solar Mage.
:Paul (probably the head of the household as you read this) is a medium-high Illusionist.
:His partner, Katerina, is an Assassin, and expert in Rapier and Unarmed.

There were no noticeable magical protections around the household when we visited, but this may change with an Illusionist running the business. D'Tama's keep their word in business dealings. They are the local (Southside) law, and leave bodies in the river.

Secret contact with Phaeton or Katerina can be made by using a picture of a Frog to indicate your Guild affiliation. The urchin "irregulars" may be integrated into the d'Tama operations in the medium term.

==Part One: What Really Happened ?==
At the end of Winter, 1996AP, I was asked to round up a flock of strayed sheep
by the shepherds d'Tama. Apparently, one of the sheep was in fact a Black wolf
in sheep's clothing, and was endangering the health of the other lead rams.

One of the two lead rams wasn't all there, and had been missing for some time
(maybe 2 years). The other was little more than a lamb, and had very Light
coloured wool. A pack of hounds had driven this stray lamb to my doorstep, and
promised vast payments if I could collect the whole flock, establish the
positions of the two lead Rams and find the wolf in sheep's clothing. The wolf
had been hiding in the hills for a couple of years, worrying the sheep, after
having been led astray by a dark vixen who wasn't playing with a full deck of
cards.

I rounded up a pack of bitches, and a dog to keep them in line. They were:
;Elle
: a bloodhound with hypnotic eyes and a rough tongue that could heal most wounds. She led the pack in any scraps.
;Kay
:a scrappy little alley mutt who had recently lost grip on reality, and was timid.
;Jay
:a red setter who could hold her own in a mix-up and could fly across the ground, but was as playful as a sparrow.
;Ivy
:an eastern Wolfhound, black as night, without redeeming features, but deadly and loyal.
;Wheeler
:a blue pointer who could inspire followers back from the dead, and was the Top Dog.

Before leaving, we asked the stars for guidance, and they said
"Water , water everywhere, but not a drop to drink".
We said "Huh?"
and they explained thus
"Upon a painted ship, upon a painted ocean".
We gave up.

On the day of Fools, after morning tea, we set off north in a gaudy minstrel's
wagon travelling separately from the pack of hounds and the lost lamb. The
wolfhounds were Ben and Louis; and the greyhound, Kate. Kate was loveable, but
fought like a tiger, and had an eye for the top dog in any pack. Ben and Louis
were steady.

At the first pasture we stayed in, the lamb bleated, letting all the animals
know that the two packs were connected. I told Kate to bite him if that
happened again, otherwise we would be having lambs-tongue. The pack yipped and
howled until they were fed supper by a local 'keeper. After that, it became
a routine for us to do a dog and pony show rather than paying for a night's
rest.

On the third day north, shortly after lunch, the lamb and his herders had
strayed several minutes ahead of the droving wagon. When we came around a bend
in the path through the woods, we came across Ben and Louis asleep by the
road. Elle, Jay, Ivy and Wheeler charged off into the woods following a trail
that Wheeler had picked up. Five hundred yards in were a pack of a dozen
huskies and an EyE dog. The huskies had big curved fangs, and were as skilled
as they come. Their Eye dog was tired, but still slowed my bitches, and sped
some of his huskies. Wheeler Suddenly Leapt Extra Enthusiastically, Pawing,
and 1/2 a dozen went down, while the others tidied up the remnants. Ivy got
badly hurt, but Elle licked it better. The EyE dog fled without leaving a
trail, and could not be traced. Kay and I turned up after collecting stray
horses & tending the wagon, and stopped Elle from ripping out the throats of
the huskies Wheeler had taken down. The fangs and hides were of value, and
sold to the authorities, along with the feral dogs. The dogs had a magic rock
as well.

The fourth through sixth days of Spring were uneventful as we casually
travelled through southern Ranke. The other pack kept a couple of hours ahead
of us, but we caught up to them on the evening of the seventh. That night,
Kay, Jay, Elle, Ivy and Kate went for a dog paddle around a pool, while the
lads went off on a bit of a hunt. While swimming next to the small falls, Kay
was seized by an aquatic dwarf, and held under water. The rest of the girls
struggled to help, and killed two of the dwarves while savaging the other two,
but Kay was dead to the world. The lads loped back when they heard the howls
of despair, and Wheeler licked Kay back to her feet. She was shaken, but
unhurt. The aquatic dwarves had little of value.

By the end of the ninth day, we reached Dar. The tenth was spent in a peaceful
trip on a barge to Silverstream. Cutting through the mountain pass after the
weather changed, we made Windermere by dusk on the twelfth. We rested the next
day, taking advantage of the natural thermal pools. Jay, as a red setter was
particularly refreshed, but the whole pack was pleased. We sailed over the
haunted lake, and had unconfirmed sightings of lake serpents and fresh water
merfolk or maybe the dogs just saw their own reflections! The fifteenth and
sixteenth were days for me to plan, and I split the two packs up again, with
my sheep dogs having a couple of hours lead.

We arrived in Taen's Field mid morning on the seventeenth, and found an
appropriate kennel. They was an atmosphere of fear and violence, and most
sheep were timid. When the little lamb entered the field around noon, we were
at the gate to escort him in discreetly. Kay & I lead them in, with Elle and
Ivy following. Wheeler and Jay went off to cover some shepherd boys that were
counting our sheep, and traced them back to a hunched figure they called
Fagan. We then explored the field, and noticed that there were two main flocks
of sheep owned by the d'Tama's and the Medici's, as well as several other
minor herds. Their business practices were pretty cut-throat, and a lot of
large dogs patrolled the field, each keeping to their own turf. During this
time, a cat took Elle's tongue.

As dusk fell, Jay and Elle went into the pen where the little white lamb was
staying, disguised as lap dogs. The rest of the pack skulked around outside.
Suddenly there was a yell, and a huge transparent dog leapt out of the pen and
ran across the garden. He breathed, and a huge wall of thorns sprang up behind
him, and then he leapt down a well. I jumped on Ivy's back and vaulted the 10'
fence, and chased after him. By this time, the outside pack were all inspired
and running double quick, and I had turned transparent to chase the enemy dog
more easily. I jumped down the well, but it was all boarded up, so Ivy leapt
down beside me. We pushed through the wall with a spectral shove, and Ivy
charged down a tunnel. Another thorn bush had sprung up, so I called for a
sword to be thrown down. It must have been my thick country accent, for the
guards threw a dagger at me. However, Ivy had worried away at the thorn bush,
and an accidental shove in the back from me pushed her all the way through.
We ran down some tunnels, and realised that they were connected to the sewer
network. Expecting trouble, I caught a glimpse of the moon (one night off
new), and changed. Ivy and I tore through the tunnels until we lost the scent.
We met up with Kate, and she opened a man hole so we could leap up a ladder
to get out. Wheeler caught up and re-invigorated us, and Ivy and I set off.

Kate started looking for a horse, but we caught a scent, and chased after the
galloping sounds ahead. We ran helter-skelter through alley ways and streets,
and were just behind a dark figure on a huge, panicked horse, when the path
opened out to a huge bridge leading to the Medici pen. With a last burst, I
leapt for the steed, and balanced on its rump long enough to throw my weight
on the riding figure. We fell, and I managed to break his fall to stop him
from being harmed, then rolled with him until I was on top. I sat on him,
lolling, as he slashed repeatedly at me, until Ivy arrived and put her fangs
to his throat (I have sworn never to harm another).

It seemed that Ben had tried to worry the lamb, but Kate, who was trying to
explain tupping to him, intervened in time. Jay and Elle soothed the sheep,
and spent the night there to keep them all safe. The little lamb found Elle's
tongue overnight, and they met us in the morning.

The eighteenth was a quiet day - I took Wheeler to a meeting of minstrels,
where he chased a bitch that used to ride herd on a flock of sheep including
the second Ram we were looking for. We got cosy with her pack, and found a
cold trail - 2 years old, heading downstream. The next day we sailed north.
On the way, Wheeler found a very recent trail heading out of the field to the
Fetch Wood, which seemed to belong to the original wolf in sheep's clothing.
We kept an eye on him, and sent a message back to the field, telling the lamb
that "The black stoat is in the Fetch wood", and drew a frog so he knew it was
us. That evening we asked at a couple of kennels, and got a good description
of the bird the ram flew out on - apparently it had been back in port the
previous day.

At dawn on the twentieth, Wheeler and I approached the Sun God who lived
there. He was known to burn all bitches who crossed his path, but we wheedled
seagull wings from him for all of us, and one more for a stone. We flew as
high as the sun, with the breeze, and Wheeler and I caught the swift Osprey,
and wrestled it down to the water. We confronted a mongrel called George, who
could look like the ram at will, and stripped him of his powers, leaving him
with a protection from evil eyes instead. We released the Osprey, and as it
glided on, we followed the Sun's chariot back to my own home hillside, where
Elle got more health problems sorted, and we asked the stars for more
guidance, having found the false trail (while the ship and the ocean were
real, the ram was painted). They patiently replied "He sits within a web,
gathering information. He knows all that happens. He is closer to home than
you think". We instantly realised that the shadowy figure answering to Fagan
was the ram, proving the third line wrong immediately (the second would follow
shortly). We slept over in Elle's pen.

On the morning of the twenty-first, we changed the coat of the dogs, and
headed back to Taen's Field riding Vance's bat. Approaching out of the sun,
it was obvious something was wrong - a stream of refugees were fleeing, and
a pall of smoke hung over the field. Landing, we ascertained that it was
plague, and headed in. As Wheeler, Elle and I could all cure plague, we were
not concerned. The field was nearly empty. We caught a few shepherd boys and
dragged some of them along in our teeth (mine fainted from my howls so I
didn't mark him - sewers have odd acoustics). We found the figure Fagan, and
lo - it was the missing ram! He told us of the cause of the plague - the wolf
in sheep's clothing was causing it, and had a group of 30 huskies and a dead
bitch helping. They hung around a bit of turf in the middle of the field,
claiming the entire field and promising to stop the plague. We got a promise
for him to return to the flock, as well as covering our expenses, and headed
through the field to the centre. We entered some empty huts, and snuck through
the attics into adjoining huts via convenient Erelhein-designed holes. By dusk
we overlooked the enemy's lair. Wheeler sniffed the place out, and scratched
out a map. I sent Kay into the river behind the place to lay down a hide so
that they wouldn't hear us strike. While she swore it was an hour's task, it
took her until 2 hours before dawn. We gathered our collective minds and
headed to their lair. We smashed a hole in the wall and stood watching them
for 10 minutes. One by one, we became transparent and drifted through the
sleeping dogs. Jay lit a candle in the deepest darkest hole, and we found the
wolf and the dead bitch curled up around each other. Wheeler peered at them
through his eye, and breathed gently until their slumbers were deep and even.

Jay and Ivy then picked up the mutts and dragged them back to the hole.
Meanwhile, some of the more soundly sleeping huskies had their collars taken.
The watch was getting suspicious at the occasional noise, but couldn't see us.

Just after dawn we dropped the wolf and his bitch off at the d'Tama pen, then
rounded up the second ram (disguised as a ewe, for some reason). The family
reunion was intense, and their cups overflowth and filled our coffers. With
the wolf gone, the plague cleared up, and we took the money and ran. The
horses, wagon, and stray dogs trickled back to the green pastures of home over
the next two months.

===Travel Notes===
We took the coastal route through southern Ranke, then cut through the lakes and mountain passes to avoid Sanctuary. This is one of the standard routes, and avoids the Enchanted Forest and Sanctuary. However, a day south of the Carzala / Ranke border, we were attacked by an E&E (Sleep, Quickness, Slowness, Teleport?) who got away, though all his dozen thugs (chainmail, Tulwar Rk 8) were captured.

Additionally, just inland of the south-western point of Ranke, we found a pool with a waterfall, and four Fossegrimme. Some may still be around - two were left tied up to a tree.

The entire rest of the party insisted that I point out that Windermere, on the south side of one of Ranke's mountain lakes, has the most luxurious thermal pools, but I warn you that they are muddy and smelly. Merfolk and sea-serpents were seen in the mere - it is several hundred feet deep. There are regular barge/ferry services up the Winder Mere, the lake north of it, and from Tainsfield to the sea port.

The sea port at the mouth of the River Taen has a powerful Solar Mage known as Apollo, living in a tower. He sells light magics, and runs a lighthouse.
He has Rank 20 Star Wings available to strangers. He is a misogynist. Phaeton used to be his apprentice, and he is friendly with Herkum (Head of Mind
College), so he likes adventurers.

Tainsfield Notes: Tainsfield is a bustling town of around 10,000. The River
Taen runs through the middle, splitting the town into Southside & Northside,
with three bridges across. The river is approximately 50 feet wide, and
dredged regularly. The Southside law is run by the d'Tama, the Northside by
the Medici. This town is dangerous - a man was shot dead in the streets, and
people just stepped over the body. Armed (short sword / club) bands of 5-8 men
in black armour patrol regularly, and watch from roof tops. There is no
official curfew, but activities after dark should be performed rapidly and
discreetly. There is a large group of urchins and guttersnipes that form an
informal network which now serves d'Tama. Fires and Plague have recently
decimated the town, and the spring fair (St David's) was cancelled. If the
level of open conflict does not die down, I believe that Tainsfield will
decline as a preferred destination.

The Tuneful Tabor is a high-quality Inn which doubles as the local Troubadour
Guild HQ. Out of town Troubadours are welcome. General performance quality is
good, but avoid the amateur nights. Avoid the Inns recommended by guards -
they will be of good quality, but closely watched / patronised by the ruling
families.

There is an extensive tunnel network through the town, based on the old sewer
system. There are pop-ups throughout town, as well as the more usual
entrances. However, the d'Tama's have sealed off their entrance through the
old well.

===D'Tama Notes===
Seagate Guild members have an advantage with dealing with the d'Tama's, as
Phaeton (known there as Phil) is a scion of the house. In the next six months
he will become heir, as Paul d'Tama inherits from Donald, their father.
:Donald is not a mage.
:His wife is an untrained Mind Mage.
:Phaeton is a medium-level, non-violent Solar Mage.
:Paul (probably the head of the household as you read this) is a medium-high Illusionist.
:His partner, Katerina, is an Assassin, and expert in Rapier and Unarmed.

There were no noticeable magical protections around the household when we visited, but this may change with an Illusionist running the business. D'Tama's keep their word in business dealings. They are the local (Southside) law, and leave bodies in the river.

Secret contact with Phaeton or Katerina can be made by using a picture of a Frog to indicate your Guild affiliation. The urchin "irregulars" may be integrated into the d'Tama operations in the medium term.

==Part One: What Really Happened ?==
At the end of Winter, 1996AP, I was asked to round up a flock of strayed sheep
by the shepherds d'Tama. Apparently, one of the sheep was in fact a Black wolf
in sheep's clothing, and was endangering the health of the other lead rams.

One of the two lead rams wasn't all there, and had been missing for some time
(maybe 2 years). The other was little more than a lamb, and had very Light
coloured wool. A pack of hounds had driven this stray lamb to my doorstep, and
promised vast payments if I could collect the whole flock, establish the
positions of the two lead Rams and find the wolf in sheep's clothing. The wolf
had been hiding in the hills for a couple of years, worrying the sheep, after
having been led astray by a dark vixen who wasn't playing with a full deck of
cards.

I rounded up a pack of bitches, and a dog to keep them in line. They were:
;Elle
: a bloodhound with hypnotic eyes and a rough tongue that could heal most wounds. She led the pack in any scraps.
;Kay
:a scrappy little alley mutt who had recently lost grip on reality, and was timid.
;Jay
:a red setter who could hold her own in a mix-up and could fly across the ground, but was as playful as a sparrow.
;Ivy
:an eastern Wolfhound, black as night, without redeeming features, but deadly and loyal.
;Wheeler
:a blue pointer who could inspire followers back from the dead, and was the Top Dog.

Before leaving, we asked the stars for guidance, and they said
"Water , water everywhere, but not a drop to drink".
We said "Huh?"
and they explained thus
"Upon a painted ship, upon a painted ocean".
We gave up.

On the day of Fools, after morning tea, we set off north in a gaudy minstrel's
wagon travelling separately from the pack of hounds and the lost lamb. The
wolfhounds were Ben and Louis; and the greyhound, Kate. Kate was loveable, but
fought like a tiger, and had an eye for the top dog in any pack. Ben and Louis
were steady.

At the first pasture we stayed in, the lamb bleated, letting all the animals
know that the two packs were connected. I told Kate to bite him if that
happened again, otherwise we would be having lambs-tongue. The pack yipped and
howled until they were fed supper by a local 'keeper. After that, it became
a routine for us to do a dog and pony show rather than paying for a night's
rest.

On the third day north, shortly after lunch, the lamb and his herders had
strayed several minutes ahead of the droving wagon. When we came around a bend
in the path through the woods, we came across Ben and Louis asleep by the
road. Elle, Jay, Ivy and Wheeler charged off into the woods following a trail
that Wheeler had picked up. Five hundred yards in were a pack of a dozen
huskies and an EyE dog. The huskies had big curved fangs, and were as skilled
as they come. Their Eye dog was tired, but still slowed my bitches, and sped
some of his huskies. Wheeler Suddenly Leapt Extra Enthusiastically, Pawing,
and 1/2 a dozen went down, while the others tidied up the remnants. Ivy got
badly hurt, but Elle licked it better. The EyE dog fled without leaving a
trail, and could not be traced. Kay and I turned up after collecting stray
horses & tending the wagon, and stopped Elle from ripping out the throats of
the huskies Wheeler had taken down. The fangs and hides were of value, and
sold to the authorities, along with the feral dogs. The dogs had a magic rock
as well.

The fourth through sixth days of Spring were uneventful as we casually
travelled through southern Ranke. The other pack kept a couple of hours ahead
of us, but we caught up to them on the evening of the seventh. That night,
Kay, Jay, Elle, Ivy and Kate went for a dog paddle around a pool, while the
lads went off on a bit of a hunt. While swimming next to the small falls, Kay
was seized by an aquatic dwarf, and held under water. The rest of the girls
struggled to help, and killed two of the dwarves while savaging the other two,
but Kay was dead to the world. The lads loped back when they heard the howls
of despair, and Wheeler licked Kay back to her feet. She was shaken, but
unhurt. The aquatic dwarves had little of value.

By the end of the ninth day, we reached Dar. The tenth was spent in a peaceful
trip on a barge to Silverstream. Cutting through the mountain pass after the
weather changed, we made Windermere by dusk on the twelfth. We rested the next
day, taking advantage of the natural thermal pools. Jay, as a red setter was
particularly refreshed, but the whole pack was pleased. We sailed over the
haunted lake, and had unconfirmed sightings of lake serpents and fresh water
merfolk or maybe the dogs just saw their own reflections! The fifteenth and
sixteenth were days for me to plan, and I split the two packs up again, with
my sheep dogs having a couple of hours lead.

We arrived in Taen's Field mid morning on the seventeenth, and found an
appropriate kennel. They was an atmosphere of fear and violence, and most
sheep were timid. When the little lamb entered the field around noon, we were
at the gate to escort him in discreetly. Kay & I lead them in, with Elle and
Ivy following. Wheeler and Jay went off to cover some shepherd boys that were
counting our sheep, and traced them back to a hunched figure they called
Fagan. We then explored the field, and noticed that there were two main flocks
of sheep owned by the d'Tama's and the Medici's, as well as several other
minor herds. Their business practices were pretty cut-throat, and a lot of
large dogs patrolled the field, each keeping to their own turf. During this
time, a cat took Elle's tongue.

As dusk fell, Jay and Elle went into the pen where the little white lamb was
staying, disguised as lap dogs. The rest of the pack skulked around outside.
Suddenly there was a yell, and a huge transparent dog leapt out of the pen and
ran across the garden. He breathed, and a huge wall of thorns sprang up behind
him, and then he leapt down a well. I jumped on Ivy's back and vaulted the 10'
fence, and chased after him. By this time, the outside pack were all inspired
and running double quick, and I had turned transparent to chase the enemy dog
more easily. I jumped down the well, but it was all boarded up, so Ivy leapt
down beside me. We pushed through the wall with a spectral shove, and Ivy
charged down a tunnel. Another thorn bush had sprung up, so I called for a
sword to be thrown down. It must have been my thick country accent, for the
guards threw a dagger at me. However, Ivy had worried away at the thorn bush,
and an accidental shove in the back from me pushed her all the way through.
We ran down some tunnels, and realised that they were connected to the sewer
network. Expecting trouble, I caught a glimpse of the moon (one night off
new), and changed. Ivy and I tore through the tunnels until we lost the scent.
We met up with Kate, and she opened a man hole so we could leap up a ladder
to get out. Wheeler caught up and re-invigorated us, and Ivy and I set off.

Kate started looking for a horse, but we caught a scent, and chased after the
galloping sounds ahead. We ran helter-skelter through alley ways and streets,
and were just behind a dark figure on a huge, panicked horse, when the path
opened out to a huge bridge leading to the Medici pen. With a last burst, I
leapt for the steed, and balanced on its rump long enough to throw my weight
on the riding figure. We fell, and I managed to break his fall to stop him
from being harmed, then rolled with him until I was on top. I sat on him,
lolling, as he slashed repeatedly at me, until Ivy arrived and put her fangs
to his throat (I have sworn never to harm another).

It seemed that Ben had tried to worry the lamb, but Kate, who was trying to
explain tupping to him, intervened in time. Jay and Elle soothed the sheep,
and spent the night there to keep them all safe. The little lamb found Elle's
tongue overnight, and they met us in the morning.

The eighteenth was a quiet day - I took Wheeler to a meeting of minstrels,
where he chased a bitch that used to ride herd on a flock of sheep including
the second Ram we were looking for. We got cosy with her pack, and found a
cold trail - 2 years old, heading downstream. The next day we sailed north.
On the way, Wheeler found a very recent trail heading out of the field to the
Fetch Wood, which seemed to belong to the original wolf in sheep's clothing.
We kept an eye on him, and sent a message back to the field, telling the lamb
that "The black stoat is in the Fetch wood", and drew a frog so he knew it was
us. That evening we asked at a couple of kennels, and got a good description
of the bird the ram flew out on - apparently it had been back in port the
previous day.

At dawn on the twentieth, Wheeler and I approached the Sun God who lived
there. He was known to burn all bitches who crossed his path, but we wheedled
seagull wings from him for all of us, and one more for a stone. We flew as
high as the sun, with the breeze, and Wheeler and I caught the swift Osprey,
and wrestled it down to the water. We confronted a mongrel called George, who
could look like the ram at will, and stripped him of his powers, leaving him
with a protection from evil eyes instead. We released the Osprey, and as it
glided on, we followed the Sun's chariot back to my own home hillside, where
Elle got more health problems sorted, and we asked the stars for more
guidance, having found the false trail (while the ship and the ocean were
real, the ram was painted). They patiently replied "He sits within a web,
gathering information. He knows all that happens. He is closer to home than
you think". We instantly realised that the shadowy figure answering to Fagan
was the ram, proving the third line wrong immediately (the second would follow
shortly). We slept over in Elle's pen.

On the morning of the twenty-first, we changed the coat of the dogs, and
headed back to Taen's Field riding Vance's bat. Approaching out of the sun,
it was obvious something was wrong - a stream of refugees were fleeing, and
a pall of smoke hung over the field. Landing, we ascertained that it was
plague, and headed in. As Wheeler, Elle and I could all cure plague, we were
not concerned. The field was nearly empty. We caught a few shepherd boys and
dragged some of them along in our teeth (mine fainted from my howls so I
didn't mark him - sewers have odd acoustics). We found the figure Fagan, and
lo - it was the missing ram! He told us of the cause of the plague - the wolf
in sheep's clothing was causing it, and had a group of 30 huskies and a dead
bitch helping. They hung around a bit of turf in the middle of the field,
claiming the entire field and promising to stop the plague. We got a promise
for him to return to the flock, as well as covering our expenses, and headed
through the field to the centre. We entered some empty huts, and snuck through
the attics into adjoining huts via convenient Erelhein-designed holes. By dusk
we overlooked the enemy's lair. Wheeler sniffed the place out, and scratched
out a map. I sent Kay into the river behind the place to lay down a hide so
that they wouldn't hear us strike. While she swore it was an hour's task, it
took her until 2 hours before dawn. We gathered our collective minds and
headed to their lair. We smashed a hole in the wall and stood watching them
for 10 minutes. One by one, we became transparent and drifted through the
sleeping dogs. Jay lit a candle in the deepest darkest hole, and we found the
wolf and the dead bitch curled up around each other. Wheeler peered at them
through his eye, and breathed gently until their slumbers were deep and even.

Jay and Ivy then picked up the mutts and dragged them back to the hole.
Meanwhile, some of the more soundly sleeping huskies had their collars taken.
The watch was getting suspicious at the occasional noise, but couldn't see us.

Just after dawn we dropped the wolf and his bitch off at the d'Tama pen, then
rounded up the second ram (disguised as a ewe, for some reason). The family
reunion was intense, and their cups overflowth and filled our coffers. With
the wolf gone, the plague cleared up, and we took the money and ran. The
horses, wagon, and stray dogs trickled back to the green pastures of home over
the next two months.

[[Category: Character]] [[Category:Chris C]] [[Category:Necromancer]] [[Category:Orc]] [[Category:Saydar]] [[Category:Vintner]] [[Category:Distiller]]

An Orcish Necromancer like his (alleged) farver was. He is also known by his familial name of Gnashdar.

==Background==
Gnashdar is the 1st son of 17 children from Orc "Greater Nobility". His mother said that she was wooed by a powerful orcish mage whose name escapes her (her memory is going you know at her age) and since only SAG allows Orc's he must be an adventurers from the guild.

Gnashdar spent the next few years making his way to [[Seagate]] and eventually joined the guild and found lodgings.

==General information==
He was born to the tribe in the [[Pagan Mountains]] bordering Brandenburg in 795WK.

==Current Status==
As of Summer 813WK Gnashdar is working in [[Erewhon]] at Baron [[Turf]]'s place of power [[Erewhon|Castle Black]] doing stuff and enjoying the Barons largess in return for 'guard work and other special duties'. He is conscientious and works hard for the Baron. His free time is spent fighting/training and exploring the nice barony. 

In Late 813wk Gnashdar was promoted to Corporal of the Guard and tasked with patrolling the ground during the night hours. Gnash has done well with his role and is being groomed for higher ranks although his Orcish ways are seen as an impediment to advancement and his superiors are working to 'round off' those 'rough edges'.

In Summer 814WK he is sent to get some help from the guild by getting some people to help with wedding preparations.

In Autumn 817wk he went looking for supplies of rare materials in [[Ranke]] and came across a guild party - see [[South Gate Rot]]. Late Autumn (7th Harvest 817wk) saw him return to the guild for the rest of the season whee he undertook further training and stayed away from [[Sanctuary]]. He met an open minded Abbess in Southgate whom he had so sessions of stern training with. A dozen orcish travellers were rescued and have become followers of Gnashdar's as they see him as a Liberator - these will be known as the [[Gnashguards]] 

In Winter 817wk Gnashdar returned to Castle Black and was promoted to Sergeant of the Guard (also granted ownership of [[Gthazag Tower]] in [[Castle Hills]] by his father, the Baron) and was promptly whisked off on adventure with his father, Turf the Baron of Erewhon and his step-mother [[Ithilmor]]. The adventure involved travel to Terranova and work with a gigantic hippo in need of a bride as well as a swamp infested with all sorts of nasties.

==Interests==
Gnashdar is the founder of [[The Erewhon Distillery]] and also the [[Ruby Vineyard]] in Erewhon

==Appearance==
Gnashdar is an unusually tall Orc at 6ft 2inches tall and is considered a throwback to the great Orcs of ages ago, a view reinforced by his and martial bearing. 
He typically wears a suit of Improved Plate-mail which covers all his skin and his helm has been modified to allow for his facial features. When not in armour he can be determined to have dark skin and is quite hairy, with a full beard and Dark Brown eyes.

An Orcish Necromancer like his (alleged) farver was. He is also known by his familial name of Gnashdar.

==Background==
Gnashdar is the 1st son of 17 children from Orc "Greater Nobility". His mother said that she was wooed by a powerful orcish mage whose name escapes her (her memory is going you know at her age) and since only SAG allows Orc's he must be an adventurers from the guild.

Gnashdar spent the next few years making his way to [[Seagate]] and eventually joined the guild and found lodgings.

==General information==
He was born to the tribe in the [[Pagan Mountains]] bordering Brandenburg in 795WK.

==Current Status==
As of Summer 813WK Gnashdar is working in [[Erewhon]] at Baron [[Turf]]'s place of power [[Erewhon|Castle Black]] doing stuff and enjoying the Barons largess in return for 'guard work and other special duties'. He is conscientious and works hard for the Baron. His free time is spent fighting/training and exploring the nice barony. 

In Late 813wk Gnashdar was promoted to Corporal of the Guard and tasked with patrolling the ground during the night hours. Gnash has done well with his role and is being groomed for higher ranks although his Orcish ways are seen as an impediment to advancement and his superiors are working to 'round off' those 'rough edges'.

In Summer 814WK he is sent to get some help from the guild by getting some people to help with wedding preparations.

In Autumn 817wk he went looking for supplies of rare materials in [[Ranke]] and came across a guild party - see [[South Gate Rot]]. Late Autumn (7th Harvest 817wk) saw him return to the guild for the rest of the season whee he undertook further training and stayed away from [[Sanctuary]]. He met an open minded Abbess in Southgate whom he had so sessions of stern training with. A dozen orcish travellers were rescued and have become followers of Gnashdar's as they see him as a Liberator - these will be known as the [[Gnashguards]] 

In Winter 817wk Gnashdar returned to Castle Black and was promoted to Sergeant of the Guard (also granted ownership of [[Gthazag Tower]] in [[Castle Hills]] by his father, the Baron) and was promptly whisked off on adventure with his father, Turf the Baron of Erewhon and his step-mother [[Ithilmor]]. The adventure involved travel to Terranova and work with a gigantic hippo in need of a bride as well as a swamp infested with all sorts of nasties.

==Interests==
Gnashdar is the founder of [[The Erewhon Distillery]].

==Appearance==
Gnashdar is an unusually tall Orc at 6ft 2inches tall and is considered a throwback to the great Orcs of ages ago, a view reinforced by his and martial bearing. 
He typically wears a suit of Improved Plate-mail which covers all his skin and his helm has been modified to allow for his facial features. When not in armour he can be determined to have dark skin and is quite hairy, with a full beard and Dark Brown eyes.

''Welcome to Grymeron'' 

Note: Initial observations of Grymron were made by a group of Seagate guild adventurers during the mission [[The Rainbow Gates]] in the season Winter (Thaw) 810wk.

= General Info =
== Mana ==
Most of Grymeron is High Mana, but it's slow to draw, like manipulating taffy. Pulse casting is impossible, minute casting is hard, it gets easier the longer it takes to cast a spell. The goblins do have magic use but based around pre-storing effects in items, potions and investeds. Obviously this means investeds and the like work as normal. Magic use is also noted in other races on Grymeron but it is not currently known how they get around the mana issues. Mana also has a tendency to "pool", with the Haunted Wood being a prime example. There the mana is still high, but more malleable/normal, and spells can be cast in normal time frames, though with unexpectedly efficacious results. 

* notes from Autumn 814wk. If you take longer to cast magic and instead of pulse casting you minute cast or longer then you gain bonuses to cast or apparent extra ranks depending on how long you take to cast the magic. This only affect spells as Talents are unaffected and Rituals are unchanged as these take a long to to achieve a focus for the magic anyway. Some possible affects would be as if there was an enhance enchant in effect and you'd be assumed to theoretically have additional ranks and such like. Details are to be empirically tested by the party.

== Goblin Magic ==
The Goblins have learnt to cope with the mana issues here and cope well. They bottle or conatin magic, pre-cast for later release.

= Known Goblin Tribes =
:* Imboo - The tribe of Albrecht, capital is Gribbit. The tribe is known for their mushroom leather manufacture.
:* Vladoraggani/Vladadarim - they use dark magic. Live near Lake Rhenius
:* Etolan - have a reputation as Giant & Troll killers. They are known for their manufacture of weapons and armour. These are deemed the most militant by the other Goblins. This tribe is located NW of Gribbit
:* Merbithol - these are reclusive goblins who live in the Haunted Wood. These have a great affinity for the woods and appear to have a racial type talent enabling them to merge with and co-exit within a tree by opening 'space' within it and then travelling through the tree up to a point

== Troll Magic ==
Blood magic of the nasty sort is involved here

= Known Locations =
[[Image:Grymeron_Map_1.JPG|centre|500px]]
== The Shibah Mountains ==
The local inhabitants are all dangerous, including Sarth Dragons, Blood Trolls, Sarska, Grools and a Lake Denizen in Lake Rhinus. some 8-900 miles from Imboo. About 300 miles to get out of the mountains, another three hundred miles through territory claimed by other goblins, then the last 2-300 miles in Imboo Goblin tribal territory. 

== Lake Imboo ==
This is the large lake that both '''Gribbit''' and [[Newhome]] are on. Its approx 300 miles across W <-> E and 200 miles N <-> S. Its home to many denizens and unexplored depths.

== Lake Rhinus ==
Lake Rhinus is circular and about 100 miles across. The lair of a Lake Denizen of hideous proportions.

== The Sea of Dark Storms ==
This is a large and very stormy sea - possibly inland sea or a great bay(sea) part of a greater body of water.

=== Shadoot Island ===
This is a (dormant) volcanic island which looks to be about 10 miles across. 

* Observations in Winter (Thaw) 810wk. Looking around the party saw a cultivated land and a small village a few miles away. Using her spy glass, [[Imri]] can see there are goblins there and 'wasp-men' (Vindikar), 4' tall bipedal flying insects with 4 arms. 
This island was surrounded by storms almost constantly as a result of the Vindikar being cursed by the trolls at the end of the war.
* Note from Autumn 814wk. It took 2 years (810 to 812wk) for the goblins with alusian assistance to rid the vindikar of the curses that followed them through their queen. Each vindiakr had to be individually subjected to 'remove curse'

== The Haunted Wood ==
This is a massive forest and according to locals the Haunted Wood covers the entire east coast of the main land and some of the south. 
The uppermost layer is almost normal in appearance and lighting, it gets darker and more strange the lower you go. Thousands of feet below the top canopy there is no sunlight, fungus and lichen glow to provide some illumination, fish swim through the air and across the ground, a stream wends through the air like a warm ocean current, mana saturates everything, is easy to draw and sometimes affects more than expected, the trees are well spaced giants with trunks of 30 to 50 feet. There are multiple canopy layers separated by interlaced root and branch layers with each layer being between 200 and 500 feet tall. The center of the HW gets up to around 5000ft above sea-level. While gravity is mostly present in The Haunted Wood there is the option to "swim" in any direction while within it in a similar way to normal water. The presence of "land" based fish adds to this oddity 

=== Layers within the Haunted Wood ===
There are up to 5 known layers of the wood and maybe more but we have yet to find the rest. 
The layers from the bottom (ground) going upwards are roughly as follows and each layer has a distinct ecosystem as well as aspects of the layers either side to a lessor degree;
# The Detritus Layer. Stygian Darkness. This is the known ground level of the HW. Known to be teeming with insect life, mushrooms, various plants etc
# The Pelagic Layer. Slightly less darkness. This layer has much fish life of many varieties.
# The Understory Layer. This is a dark, nasty and dim place. This layer has spiders, reptiles, seeds, various lurkers, sentient trees, Dracoslurze and more.
# The Midstory Layer. This has filtered light akin to normal woods. This would be termed 'normal' - mostly and is the preserve of the range of expected jungle predators including Dracoslurze etc.
# The Canopy Layer. Much more light. TBA
The effect of the woods extends some feet past the top to the tallest trees and so the ability to 'swim' through the area extends as well which makes of interesting passage into or onto the top layer.

=== The Narrabri Mountains ===
The Narrabri Mountains (Circa 800-900 miles SW of Moonpok) are shaped like a 7 and we have come down from the north to the flat top of the 7 area, around the centre. They are some 600miles W-E along the top in a 150m wide set of mountains and then they turn downwards over a 900m length but the bottom width is around 300miles. The treeline stops around 10,000ft and the highest peaks have snow year round. The treeline gives way to rocky crags and general mountains in which we are told live trolls of various types
[[Image:Narrabri_Mtns.png|centre|500px]]

=== Places within the Haunted Wood ===
==== The Lake of Ignorance ====
This is located within the Haunted Wood area and in/near the Narrabri Mountains which is inside the boundary of the HW. The '''Keeper of the Lake''' named Keifer, abides beside the lake and is able to distill potions of ignorance versus certain concepts such as time and distance in return for some knowledge such as magic, skills, abilities etc which he seems to covet. Drinking un-distilled ignorance is likely to have a highly deleterious effect. 
* When last visited in 810wk it was some 800m south-ish of Moonpok but we know that the lake 'moves' either naturally or through mystical means, so finding the area requires some cunning, knowledge and a whole lot of luck. 

==== The Tower of Knowledge ====
Albrecht illuminated us as to this place of knowledge and learning in Autumn 814wk. Its around 2500m south of Gribbit. The tower is known by a special name - Vardoose.

= Population Centres =
:* Moonpok - Trading outpost, sits in between a bunch of goblin tribal areas. Based in tress and has floating ships for transport which are made out of some sort of tree seed. Very near to the northern portion of the Haunted Wood
:* Gribbit - the capital of Imboo (The goblin tribal region) is beside a large lake (Lake xxx). The city is a couple of miles across, with 50' high walls and a decent moat. Inside the buildings are scattered without apparent order, most are large buildings, some taller than the walls, with lots of goblin sized floors. It looks like a place made by and for giants, though now used by 2 foot tall goblins.

= Great powers, groups, entities or simply notable NPC's =
* [[Albrecht of Grymeron]].

= Known Denizens =
:* Goblins - 2 foot tall, reasonably intelligent and civilised, multiple tribes
:* Giants - 50ft tall
:* Sarth Dragons - about 100' long, fast agile fliers.
:* Blood Trolls - 20-45ft tall, very stupid. Empirical testing by goblins say it takes 120 goblins to take down a Blood Troll.
:* Sarska - Sentient, they sound like flying Naga, humanoid top half, snake bodies, with wings. These are legendary creatures found in the north.
:* Grools - small orcs, still bigger than goblins
:* The Denizen In The Lake. Its suspected that there are many denizens in the lakes and each one will have its own 'denizen' which is at the 'bottom' (water humour) of its food chain
:* Vindikar - Human sized Insectoids. legendary enemies of the Trolls during the Troll Wars. Live underground in burrows, have a Queen and a hive mind. These are diurnal not nocturnal. A young queen is of the dimensions 5*10*10. These are normally around 5ft tall.
:* Fungus Warriors - Not only are there sentient mushrooms on Grymeron, but apparently they are trainable
;* TBA - Large fish that lives in the lower levels of the Haunted Wood. 50-60 feet long, up to 30 feet wide, teeth that are too big for its enormous mouth, and a lightning fast 20 foot long tongue
;* Cat Wolves - can be found in the Haunted Wood. Can be domesticated. GTN Lkyroi.
;* Trolls - Alusian Trolls are big, tough, and stupid. Grymeron Trolls are 5 times bigger, and the tough and stupid elements are similarly multiplied. Just when you think they would be at the top of the food chain, consider that the Sarth Dragon likes them as a decent snack. Mortal enemies of the goblin tribes.
;* Giants - Bigger than Trolls and not stupid. Allied/neutral to Goblins. Live in the mountains.
;* Zigwurms - A small mount suitable for the goblins (of Grymeron) to fly on. These can fly at up to 25mph and are the size of a large raven/eagle. These are mainly flown by the [[Goblin Air Corps]]
;* Grumps - These are large 30ft across, slow moving siege animals akin to giant turtle (8 legged) with mounted trebechet, ballistae etc.
;* THE Giant Whale Shark - this is a unique creature, some 60ft across at the maw and a mile in length. It navigates the rivers in the Haunted wood and holds a substantial portion of liquid
:* Symbiotic Parasites - these are found in the wild. Some can be caught and domesticated so that they live inside compatible hosts for a period of time
:* Giant Riding Spiders - can be trained. size some 2 1/2 ft tall at the shoulder.
:* Huge Spiders - these live within the haunted wood and some are huge with size significant enough for a giant size creature to ride it. Yet to be seen by SAG groups.
:* Giant Electric Eels - these can be found in groups of 2 or more. They have a powerful electric attack but it takes time to 'recharge'
:* Fungasaur - these are mushroom trolls of great cunning and strength. They can absorb much damage and regenerate (supposition) as well as split into multiple smaller forms whilst retaining knowledge of the whole and then reform - possibly dispersed brain areas throughout the body. The mushroom parts can be used to create spore clouds for nasty effects.
:* Mossiegong - a 10 legged slug, human sized and travels of 6 legs.

== Dracoslurze ==
These can be found in the Haunted Wood in the 2nd and 3rd layers but more likely in the 3rd layer. 
- Think of a Kimodo Dragon combined with a crocodile, double the size, add more armour and make the teeth and claws look ridiculously dangerous 
These operate in packs of between 2 and 12 unless you are particularly unlucky. They weight around 300lb and are predominantly around 4-5ft tall although the females are on the larger side at up to 8ft and some males are up to 7ft tall as well. These are quick predators with lots of armour (effectively FT and EN Armour) and nasty.
;* Anecdotal evidence suggests that if you use 'a lunch mage' (Earth) to summon these animals to you, then a fortified position with significant cover is recommended as these can come at you from all directions. If they come in packs then magic is most effective overall as well as large amounts of pure damage.

= Known Gates =
The goblins refer to planar portals as Mulls, the old Portals to Alusia were known as the Rainbow Gates.
The Rainbow Gates all shut down about 40,000 years ago, they don't know why.

; [[Ruby Waters]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', waterfall into pool about 3 miles into high-mana area along trail from Regar's Keep.
: ''Mull'' gate about 1,000' deep beneath largest lake, partially open to a place of water and healing.
; [[Vale of Tears]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', access at discretion of Lorto.
: Opens to Shadoot Island in the Sea of Storms. Vindikar and Goblin settlement.
; Head of [[Thunder River]], [[Superstition Mountains]]
: muted/suppressed, part of the Dwarves private portal nexus. No further info for outsiders.
; [[Falls of Valusha]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''' guarded by Neptune the free Water Elemental and his [[Fossegrim]] followers.
: Opens to a large lake (Rhinus) high in the mountains. Dragons, Blood Trolls, monster in lake, high-mana lake water. High to extreme danger. About 900 miles from Gribbit.
; Head of [[Wandle Rithe]]
: Not investigated.
; Head of [[River Mirimar]] - '''Rainbow Gate''', small cave complex occupied by Saurime. Trade and portal access agreement. Opens to former Grool complex in Imboo territory 300 miles SW of Gribbit.
; [[Ildrisholm]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', issues with safe access - Kraken, Dark Circle Undead, Fae, ...
: Opens to Gribbit, Albrecht's home city.

== Tiana Gate ==
This Rainbow Gate connects [[Tiana Falls]] ([[Fastness of Girwyllan]] on [[Alusia]]) to a moving gate within the Haunted Wood. 

It was noted as being near the Narrabri Mountains in one instance and in Autumn 814wk it was summoned to Vardoose (the Tower of Knowledge) so that it may be used to pass between the planes.

== Noble Gate ==
This is a Rainbow Gate which connects 2 locations on Alusia and Grymeron, these are [[Darkwell]] (see the Head of [[River Miramar]], Northern [[Insel Garsi]] near [[Gryphon Pass]]) on Alusia and [[Newhome]] on Grymeron. 

This is the location of '''The Grymeron Trading Post.''' This trading post was established in Thaw 810wk when Albrecht of Grymeron appeared in the Suarime settlement of Darkwell and who then forged a mutually beneficial trading relationship with the tribe.

==== The Lake of Ignorance ====
This is located within the Haunted Wood area and in/near the Narrabri Mountains which is inside the boundary of the HW. The '''Keeper of the Lake''' named Keifer, abides beside the lake and is able to distill potions of ignorance versus certain concepts such as time and distance in return for some knowledge such as magic, skills, abilities etc which he seems to covet. Drinking un-distilled ignorance is likely to have a highly deleterious effect. 
* When last visited in 810wk it was some 800m south-ish of Moonpok but we know that the lake 'moves' either naturally or through mystical means, so finding the area requires some cunning, knowledge and a whole lot of luck. 

==== The Tower of Knowledge ====
Albrecht illuminated us as to this place of knowledge and learning in Autumn 814wk. Its around 2500m south of Gribbit. The tower is known by a special name - Vardoose.

= Population Centres =
:* Moonpok - Trading outpost, sits in between a bunch of goblin tribal areas. Based in tress and has floating ships for transport which are made out of some sort of tree seed. Very near to the northern portion of the Haunted Wood
:* Gribbit - the capital of Imboo (The goblin tribal region) is beside a large lake (Lake xxx). The city is a couple of miles across, with 50' high walls and a decent moat. Inside the buildings are scattered without apparent order, most are large buildings, some taller than the walls, with lots of goblin sized floors. It looks like a place made by and for giants, though now used by 2 foot tall goblins.

= Great powers, groups, entities or simply notable NPC's =
* [[Albrecht of Grymeron]].

= Known Denizens =
:* Goblins - 2 foot tall, reasonably intelligent and civilised, multiple tribes
:* Giants - 50ft tall
:* Sarth Dragons - about 100' long, fast agile fliers.
:* Blood Trolls - 20-45ft tall, very stupid. Empirical testing by goblins say it takes 120 goblins to take down a Blood Troll.
:* Sarska - Sentient, they sound like flying Naga, humanoid top half, snake bodies, with wings. These are legendary creatures found in the north.
:* Grools - small orcs, still bigger than goblins
:* The Denizen In The Lake. Its suspected that there are many denizens in the lakes and each one will have its own 'denizen' which is at the 'bottom' (water humour) of its food chain
:* Vindikar - Human sized Insectoids. legendary enemies of the Trolls during the Troll Wars. Live underground in burrows, have a Queen and a hive mind. These are diurnal not nocturnal. A young queen is of the dimensions 5*10*10. These are normally around 5ft tall.
:* Fungus Warriors - Not only are there sentient mushrooms on Grymeron, but apparently they are trainable
;* TBA - Large fish that lives in the lower levels of the Haunted Wood. 50-60 feet long, up to 30 feet wide, teeth that are too big for its enormous mouth, and a lightning fast 20 foot long tongue
;* Cat Wolves - can be found in the Haunted Wood. Can be domesticated. GTN Lkyroi.
;* Trolls - Alusian Trolls are big, tough, and stupid. Grymeron Trolls are 5 times bigger, and the tough and stupid elements are similarly multiplied. Just when you think they would be at the top of the food chain, consider that the Sarth Dragon likes them as a decent snack. Mortal enemies of the goblin tribes.
;* Giants - Bigger than Trolls and not stupid. Allied/neutral to Goblins. Live in the mountains.
;* Zigwurms - A small mount suitable for the goblins (of Grymeron) to fly on. These can fly at up to 25mph and are the size of a large raven/eagle. These are mainly flown by the [[Goblin Air Corps]]
;* Grumps - These are large 30ft across, slow moving siege animals akin to giant turtle (8 legged) with mounted trebechet, ballistae etc.
;* THE Giant Whale Shark - this is a unique creature, some 60ft across at the maw and a mile in length. It navigates the rivers in the Haunted wood and holds a substantial portion of liquid
:* Symbiotic Parasites - these are found in the wild. Some can be caught and domesticated so that they live inside compatible hosts for a period of time
:* Giant Riding Spiders - can be trained. size some 2 1/2 ft tall at the shoulder.
:* Huge Spiders - these live within the haunted wood and some are huge with size significant enough for a giant size creature to ride it. Yet to be seen by SAG groups.
:* Giant Electric Eels - these can be found in groups of 2 or more. They have a powerful electric attack but it takes time to 'recharge'
:* Fungasaur - these are mushroom trolls of great cunning and strength. They can absorb much damage and regenerate (supposition) as well as split into multiple smaller forms whilst retaining knowledge of the whole and then reform - possibly dispersed brain areas throughout the body. The mushroom parts can be used to create spore clouds for nasty effects.
:* Mossiegong - a 10 legged slug, human sized and travels of 6 legs.

== Dracoslurze ==
These can be found in the Haunted Wood in the 2nd and 3rd layers but more likely in the 3rd layer. 
- Think of a Kimodo Dragon combined with a crocodile, double the size, add more armour and make the teeth and claws look ridiculously dangerous 
These operate in packs of between 2 and 12 unless you are particularly unlucky. They weight around 300lb and are predominantly around 4-5ft tall although the females are on the larger side at up to 8ft and some males are up to 7ft tall as well. These are quick predators with lots of armour (effectively FT and EN Armour) and nasty.
;* Anecdotal evidence suggests that if you use 'a lunch mage' (Earth) to summon these animals to you, then a fortified position with significant cover is recommended as these can come at you from all directions. If they come in packs then magic is most effective overall as well as large amounts of pure damage.

= Known Gates =
The goblins refer to planar portals as Mulls, the old Portals to Alusia were known as the Rainbow Gates.
The Rainbow Gates all shut down about 40,000 years ago, they don't know why.

; [[Ruby Waters]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', waterfall into pool about 3 miles into high-mana area along trail from Regar's Keep.
: ''Mull'' gate about 1,000' deep beneath largest lake, partially open to a place of water and healing.
; [[Vale of Tears]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', access at discretion of Lorto.
: Opens to Shadoot Island in the Sea of Storms. Vindikar and Goblin settlement.
; Head of [[Thunder River]], [[Superstition Mountains]]
: muted/suppressed, part of the Dwarves private portal nexus. No further info for outsiders.
; [[Falls of Valusha]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''' guarded by Neptune the free Water Elemental and his [[Fossegrim]] followers.
: Opens to a large lake (Rhinus) high in the mountains. Dragons, Blood Trolls, monster in lake, high-mana lake water. High to extreme danger. About 900 miles from Gribbit.
; Head of [[Wandle Rithe]]
: Not investigated.
; Head of [[River Mirimar]] - '''Rainbow Gate''', small cave complex occupied by Saurime. Trade and portal access agreement. Opens to former Grool complex in Imboo territory 300 miles SW of Gribbit.
; [[Ildrisholm]]
: '''Rainbow Gate''', issues with safe access - Kraken, Dark Circle Undead, Fae, ...
: Opens to Gribbit, Albrecht's home city.

== Tiana Gate ==
This Rainbow Gate connects [[Tiana Falls]] ([[Fastness of Girwyllan]] on [[Alusia]]) to a moving gate within the Haunted Wood. 

It was noted as being near the Narrabri Mountains in one instance and in Autumn 814wk it was summoned to Vardoose (the Tower of Knowledge) so that it may be used to pass between the planes.

== Noble Gate ==
This is a Rainbow Gate which connects 2 locations on Alusia and Grymeron, these are [[Darkwell]] (see the Head of [[River Miramar]], Northern [[Insel Garsi]] near [[Gryphon Pass]]) on Alusia and [[Newhome]] on Grymeron. 

This is the location of '''The Grymeron Trading Post.''' This trading post was established in Thaw 810wk when Albrecht of Grymeron appeared in the Suarime settlement of Darkwell and who then forged a mutually beneficial trading relationship with the tribe.

= Guild interactions =

D'Artagnan: "Zardoz!?"

== Scribe Notes ==

=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''

We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.

Gnash: So, who is your wife?
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.
Zardoz: On which side?

The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.

After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.

Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.

To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.

Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''.
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''.
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.

After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.

This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.

Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.

We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.

'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''

In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.

=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.

We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.

We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.

Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.

Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.

Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.

We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.

Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.

Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
Peter: Hey?!

We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.

The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.

In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.

=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===

'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''

We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet.

Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.

Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.

Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.

Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun.

Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale!
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..

After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.

We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. 

Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.

Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. 

Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.

The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.

Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. 
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. 
Mavric went to watch a play. 

We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help: 
*Why the delay in the judgment?
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?
** How did he get it in the first place?

=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===

Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.

Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.

'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''

We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. 

With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. 

We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''.
 
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.

He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. 

Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. 

We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. 

After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. 

=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch ===

'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit''' 

Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.

Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.

We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.

Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.

Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."

The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.

Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.

Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.

Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. 

'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''

Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.

We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire

Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.

Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:
Where is Herder selling his wool?
Is he underselling it?
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?

[[Category: Character]] [[Category:Chris C]] [[Category:Necromancer]] [[Category:Orc]] [[Category:Saydar]] [[Category:Vintner]] [[Category:Distiller]]

An Orcish Necromancer like his (alleged) farver was. He is also known by his familial name of Gnashdar.

==Background==
Gnashdar is the 1st son of 17 children from Orc "Greater Nobility". His mother said that she was wooed by a powerful orcish mage whose name escapes her (her memory is going you know at her age) and since only SAG allows Orc's he must be an adventurers from the guild.

Gnashdar spent the next few years making his way to [[Seagate]] and eventually joined the guild and found lodgings.

==General information==
He was born to the tribe in the [[Pagan Mountains]] bordering Brandenburg in 795WK.

==Current Status==
As of Summer 813WK Gnashdar is working in [[Erewhon]] at Baron [[Turf]]'s place of power [[Erewhon|Castle Black]] doing stuff and enjoying the Barons largess in return for 'guard work and other special duties'. He is conscientious and works hard for the Baron. His free time is spent fighting/training and exploring the nice barony. 

In Late 813wk Gnashdar was promoted to Corporal of the Guard and tasked with patrolling the ground during the night hours. Gnash has done well with his role and is being groomed for higher ranks although his Orcish ways are seen as an impediment to advancement and his superiors are working to 'round off' those 'rough edges'.

In Summer 814WK he is sent to get some help from the guild by getting some people to help with wedding preparations.

In Autumn 817wk he went looking for supplies of rare materials in [[Ranke]] and came across a guild party - see [[South Gate Rot]]. Late Autumn (7th Harvest 817wk) saw him return to the guild for the rest of the season whee he undertook further training and stayed away from [[Sanctuary]]. He met an open minded Abbess in Southgate whom he had so sessions of stern training with. A dozen orcish travellers were rescued and have become followers of Gnashdar's as they see him as a Liberator - these will be known as the [[Gnashguards]] 

In Winter 817wk Gnashdar returned to Castle Black and was promoted to Sergeant of the Guard (also granted ownership of [[Gthazag Tower]] in [[Castle Hills]] by his father, the Baron) and was promptly whisked off on adventure with his father, Turf the Baron of Erewhon and his step-mother [[Ithilmor]]. The adventure involved travel to Terranova and work with a gigantic hippo in need of a bride as well as a swamp infested with all sorts of nasties.

==Interests==
Gnashdar is the founder of [[The Erewhon Distillery]].

==Appearance==
Gnashdar is an unusually tall Orc at 6ft 2inches tall and is considered a throwback to the great Orcs of ages ago, a view reinforced by his and martial bearing. 
He typically wears a suit of Improved Plate-mail which covers all his skin and his helm has been modified to allow for his facial features. When not in armour he can be determined to have dark skin and is quite hairy, with a full beard and Dark Brown eyes.

==Notable Spells==
Necromantic Magic

==Notable Skills==
Warrior and Undertaker
* Master Distiller and Winemaker as of Summer 824wk

== Briefing ==
Things are rotten near [[Ranke#Southgate|Southgate]] in Ranke.
==== Summary ====

== Scribe Notes ==
I'll add brief notes which are to be fleshed out when scribe is up to it.

=== Session 1 - Meet, Greet and travel northwards ===
Introductions, Travel to [[Fort Flowing]] and up the river to Southgate. Explore Orchards, identify Water Source issue, meet apothecary, travel into hills, meet a hillsman (bro of apothecary), camp overnight, travel into hollow, get Goat attacked and almost killed.

=== Session 2 - Explore and battle the goblins ===
Get out of the bowl, scout around, hunt down the target, close on target, engage goblins, victorious, gain a monkey and loot.

=== Session 3 - Into the copse and fight the 4 Ogres and a Black Annis Hag ===
Into the copse and fight the 4 Ogres and a Black Annis Hag. E died during the fight after heroically saving me with his healing potion gift. We then rested up and went to the Hag's obfuscated den near a waterfall. We used powerful magic to pierce the protections and entered her lair. We touched the 'waterfall' of strangeness with M's rod of Charm and we enetered another realm.

=== Session 4 - We check out the other worldly realm and almost fatally encounter a See Hag ===
We enter the area, checking subtly and gathering items. There are 4 rooms in the area and we manage to safely enter one and loot a very nice Divan and other bits and pieces. The Sand Table in the central area is 12ft x 3ft and depicts an area 70m East of Southgate as a narrow area some 40m wide and shows the various ashgroves in the area. We look at the tower itself (this is some 70ft tall) and look over its walls which are 25ft high cremanated walls with Parapets set 8ft down the wall which means the defenders are very tall. It's a walled compound with crimson sands outside. 

All goes well until Haedric (the dwarf) throws some bread at a beaded curtain over a darkened passage making it resonate - soon thereafter followed by the arrival of a [[See Hag]]. We barely manage to survive as we take Haedric's unconscious body on my floating divan and flee back to the nearby Ash Grove. 

Misc Notes;
# The Ash Grove's are all interconnected. The primary effect of the magic is 'Contagion' with a secondary effect of 'Representation'.
# The Sand Table was very magical and showed a map of the area encompassing the ash gives and southgate etc. It was richly appointed and had very valuable components of gold, gems and such

=== Session 5 - Merri's is sucked into the void and an Orc joins the party===
We get out of the defile and make it back to the ash grove. The party play with the tarot deck. R and A survive while Merri is sucked into the void and her death. The party go oops! 

The nearby orcs appear agitated and the they ambush the 6 goblins dragging a captive orc back towards their main camp. They free the Orc who turns out to be a guild member who was grabbed unawares by the evil goblins. [[Gnash|Gnashdar]] is his name. 

The party (now including Gnashdar) take on the 40 goblins and the huge leader who turns out to be an Ogre Magi from the other dimension and they barely win with no new deaths. H is healed by the Melians and promises return and undertake a favour for them.

=== Session 6 - party returns to civilisation with some hijinks. Also Sanctuary bound. ===

Party travels back to Southgate and informs the local [[Prior_Jules_Debois|Abbess]] about issues. She authorises additional pay. The party visits the local herbalist in the hills and the Orc gets some lessons in punishments and perfumery from the Abbess who is quite the disciplinarian it seems! We are headed to [[Sanctuary]] next. 

Sanctuary is reached after a few days of travel and we end up walking in after leaving the boat a few miles down the coast.

=== Session 7 - Sanctuary fun and games as well as an exploding tannery ===

We told the SMG about Merricat's demise and they will appriase the family. We then tracked down Indigo using Greimyth's name and tried to pass on a message but the lady Indigo disavowed all knowledge. we departed and watched the location. Later on we entered and searched the establishment for suspicious materials or illegal activities. We managed to kill Indigo who was revealed to be a Green Hag and free a dozen orcs who were in the process of being drained by her to sustain some illicit evil scheme. We fled the city barely in advance of an exploding tannery of suspicious nature and an incoming storm. 

We made it out to sea and then beached our 'borrowed' vessel on an island and looked to last out the storm of the night in the cold and wet conditions and on an unfamiliar island in the Bay.

=== Session 8 - Recuperate on the island and then report back to the abbess ===

We stayed on the island for a few days and the storm showed no signs of abating. We were well fed with fish for the period but the smell of things was an issue. We noted again a green and Blue dragon questing across the sky and someone picked up the words '[[Jing Wei]]'. After 2 days we did some divining and I opened the birdcage to look at the lark which sang briefly and then transformed into an oriental women of great beauty which the dragon came for and took away. The storm then abated. 

We made haste away from Sanctuary and return by sea to [[Southgate]] where we report our progress and results to the Abbess. She is pleased and pays us our due after bestowing some favours upon us. We travel up to the old man in the woods, taking with us our dozen orcs. We leave the orcs to do manual labour for the old man for a few days while we go to the groves and speak with the Melians and also check on the cave. Access to the other-side is impossible without the magic inherent in the staff that Merricat used to have so we leave and return to the old man.

== Briefing ==
Things are rotten near [[Ranke#Southgate|Southgate]] in Ranke.
==== Summary ====

== Scribe Notes ==
I'll add brief notes which are to be fleshed out when scribe is up to it.

=== Session 1 - Meet, Greet and travel northwards ===
Introductions, Travel to [[Fort Flowing]] and up the river to Southgate. Explore Orchards, identify Water Source issue, meet apothecary, travel into hills, meet a hillsman (bro of apothecary), camp overnight, travel into hollow, get Goat attacked and almost killed.

=== Session 2 - Explore and battle the goblins ===
Get out of the bowl, scout around, hunt down the target, close on target, engage goblins, victorious, gain a monkey and loot.

=== Session 3 - Into the copse and fight the 4 Ogres and a Black Annis Hag ===
Into the copse and fight the 4 Ogres and a Black Annis Hag. E died during the fight after heroically saving me with his healing potion gift. We then rested up and went to the Hag's obfuscated den near a waterfall. We used powerful magic to pierce the protections and entered her lair. We touched the 'waterfall' of strangeness with M's rod of Charm and we enetered another realm.

=== Session 4 - We check out the other worldly realm and almost fatally encounter a See Hag ===
We enter the area, checking subtly and gathering items. There are 4 rooms in the area and we manage to safely enter one and loot a very nice Divan and other bits and pieces. The Sand Table in the central area is 12ft x 3ft and depicts an area 70m East of Southgate as a narrow area some 40m wide and shows the various ashgroves in the area. We look at the tower itself (this is some 70ft tall) and look over its walls which are 25ft high cremanated walls with Parapets set 8ft down the wall which means the defenders are very tall. It's a walled compound with crimson sands outside. 

All goes well until Haedric (the dwarf) throws some bread at a beaded curtain over a darkened passage making it resonate - soon thereafter followed by the arrival of a [[See Hag]]. We barely manage to survive as we take Haedric's unconscious body on my floating divan and flee back to the nearby Ash Grove. 

Misc Notes;
# The Ash Grove's are all interconnected. The primary effect of the magic is 'Contagion' with a secondary effect of 'Representation'.
# The Sand Table was very magical and showed a map of the area encompassing the ash gives and southgate etc. It was richly appointed and had very valuable components of gold, gems and such

=== Session 5 - Merri's is sucked into the void and an Orc joins the party===
We get out of the defile and make it back to the ash grove. The party play with the tarot deck. R and A survive while Merri is sucked into the void and her death. The party go oops! 

The nearby orcs appear agitated and the they ambush the 6 goblins dragging a captive orc back towards their main camp. They free the Orc who turns out to be a guild member who was grabbed unawares by the evil goblins. [[Gnash|Gnashdar]] is his name. 

The party (now including Gnashdar) take on the 40 goblins and the huge leader who turns out to be an Ogre Magi from the other dimension and they barely win with no new deaths. H is healed by the Melians and promises return and undertake a favour for them.

=== Session 6 - party returns to civilisation with some hijinks. Also Sanctuary bound. ===

Party travels back to Southgate and informs the local abbess about issues. She authorises additional pay. The party visits the local herbalist in the hills and the Orc gets some lessons in punishments and perfumery from the Abbess who is quite the disciplinarian it seems! We are headed to [[Sanctuary]] next. 

Sanctuary is reached after a few days of travel and we end up walking in after leaving the boat a few miles down the coast.

=== Session 7 - Sanctuary fun and games as well as an exploding tannery ===

We told the SMG about Merricat's demise and they will appriase the family. We then tracked down Indigo using Greimyth's name and tried to pass on a message but the lady Indigo disavowed all knowledge. we departed and watched the location. Later on we entered and searched the establishment for suspicious materials or illegal activities. We managed to kill Indigo who was revealed to be a Green Hag and free a dozen orcs who were in the process of being drained by her to sustain some illicit evil scheme. We fled the city barely in advance of an exploding tannery of suspicious nature and an incoming storm. 

We made it out to sea and then beached our 'borrowed' vessel on an island and looked to last out the storm of the night in the cold and wet conditions and on an unfamiliar island in the Bay.

=== Session 8 - Recuperate on the island and then report back to the abbess ===

We stayed on the island for a few days and the storm showed no signs of abating. We were well fed with fish for the period but the smell of things was an issue. We noted again a green and Blue dragon questing across the sky and someone picked up the words '[[Jing Wei]]'. After 2 days we did some divining and I opened the birdcage to look at the lark which sang briefly and then transformed into an oriental women of great beauty which the dragon came for and took away. The storm then abated. 

We made haste away from Sanctuary and return by sea to [[Southgate]] where we report our progress and results to the Abbess. She is pleased and pays us our due after bestowing some favours upon us. We travel up to the old man in the woods, taking with us our dozen orcs. We leave the orcs to do manual labour for the old man for a few days while we go to the groves and speak with the Melians and also check on the cave. Access to the other-side is impossible without the magic inherent in the staff that Merricat used to have so we leave and return to the old man.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===

; Duesday 1st
The party is briefed at the guild by [[Darcy|Darcy von Reinhold]], a Herald of the Western Kingdom, who makes an offer of employment to the party. 
''Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king'', and offering us 20,000sp each. 

15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up. 
: Note: ''The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up''? 

Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble. 
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark. 

Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellsmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding. 
* Finding the lost [[Regalia of Jurgenmark]] - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.

They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.

Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.

; W'ansday 2nd Meadow

At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.

We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to [[Konigburg|The Royal Theatre of Konigburg]] where she watches a matinee of ''[[The Foul Prince Romero]]'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.

Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.

; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.

The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes. Things have changed from previous years and the maps are no longer as reliable.

We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''[[Virehold]]''' around lunchtime. Lots of guards, church knights,

Henric is engaged to [[Sigrun Jarnhelm]], younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].

Henric briefs the party with the news that if Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835wk) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality. To help stabilise the realm a majority of the regalia must be recovered (the sooner the better) so the boundaries can be reset, reaffirmed and used to keep Jurgenmark as it is. The regalia consists of a number of items such as; 

* 17 Major items
* 17 Secondary items
* Civic Items
* Military Items ...

We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.

If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back. There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown. 
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one - [[Jurgenmark Sigil #1]], a 13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.
Other sigils could look different. 
Previously there were sigils in Hellsmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...

=== The frozen basement ===

Heinie has some secret stuff that he's discovered:
Some Human Count in our ancestry (questionable) got himself magically bound to Jurgenmark which somehow binds us as heirs to the Countship of the place.
It seems all of the family have a birthmark in common, and here in Jurgen those marks are 'active' and have depth and stars in them.

Heinie gives Mavric his 'special staff' so she'll have his authority over the regalia.

Heinie heads off to do important stuff, probably fishing.

We head downstairs to a chamber blocked by ice.
It's magical and resistant to Ice Shovel.
We play with it, having some effect from Mavric touching and using Heinie's stick, we all sing a Dwarven chant together and a passage opens.
We head through to a large room and are attacked by half a dozen recently thawed Orcs and an undead Necromancer (Byron).
Half a minute later, all but one Orc are dead, we interrogate him.
He believes it is still 817 and the necromancers are in charge. He's from Cauldersfield. We hand him over to the guards.

* 3 Amulets: Aquilegius, Diamond, Detect Life

We go on through the next wall of ice to another similar room, finding 6 dead human women (aligned with Powers of Light - Urielite). They died about 10 years ago from life drain.

In the corner of the room is an altar with a 15' magical area of protection.
* Damaged Mirror of communication
* 2 x magic candles
* Chalice full of blessed red wine

=== Deeper into the Icy Basement ===
We head back upstairs for a rest, feast and to collect the others.
Baths, drinking, eating, making up embarrassing stories about Heinie - some of them even true.

; Frysday 4th Meadow
Some divinations:
* Communication Mirror: Self-Divination, Cleansing Flame, Mind Speech with Connected Mirrors - other magic mirrors work best, an affinity needs to be established.
* Chalice: Creates Blessed Wine that Enhances SC & Resistance vs Fear for 1 hour, Weapon Blessing (counts as magical). 7 doses per day.
* Amulet of Detect Life: ESP like life detection, pierces illusions, must be on the ground.
* Candle of Truth Smoke - like true seeing
* Candle of Patient Watch - stay alert

After lunch we head back downstairs. Move the 6 human corpses out.
Altar 6' long 3' wide and high, cold stone, 300 lbs. 15' radius consecrated ground, magic resistance bonus based on faith in powers of light (including [[Embrissa]] - Dwarven God of Hairy Hugs), damage reduction, repels undead.

We then open the next wall...
A 60' wide octagonal room, icy floor, veins of light emitting ice.
Volume is magical, perception magic. As we move forward, icy daggers emerge as we move or make noise, recede when we're quiet.

Dwarven Runes show on the far wall when we get to it
"Stillness is not surrender, it is readiness."

Wall opens to a long hall with 7 iced-over 5' high stone plinths. Standing near one, the surface changes to show a vision specific to the observer.
Each shows something scary in your past or a regret. Pillars of personal reflection.

Next wall opens to a circular room with an icy fissure in the middle. The ice is changeable and unstable, dangerous to cross. Risking a fall into water with something finned swimming in it.

Icy ground fog. Aura of interrogation. As we get closer to the bowl in the middle, it asks what we seek. The bowl contains liquid ice that protects from cold for a minute.
We spend some time interrogating the fog to find the rough locations of all of the sigils.

300 long 80' wide cathedral of ice, levitating plinth of frost rings in the middle. Ice elemental/spirit asks if we're worthy and if we'll accept the trials, after some attempts to sidestep, we agree. First we're near frozen, then asked what we (or Heinie) would sacrifice to save the realm.
We commit Heinie to giving up his magic if needed and that's accepted.
The elemental ('''Skaelvar''') reveals a pile of items while saying: "Winter endures because it yields eventually."
# Mail of the Frost Forge - helps against cold and winter. Brings order, inspires allies.
# Axe of the Cold Gate - carves through ice locked wood and cold barriers. Revels whether gate shave been reached.
# Pike of the Winter Patrol - reliability in cold weather.
# Ledger of the winter stores - tracking stores, preparing for winters. Quartermaster.
# Still heart diadem (Circlet) - supresses local instability and corruption.
# Block of Stone - winter bound keystone. Weighs 300 lbs. - stabilises areas, especially when built into fortifications.
We can return these items here for safe keeping later if we need to.

We head upstairs to hand the items over to the seneschal. Catching an Ice Shark in the fissure room on the way back.

Before we settle for dinner with Sigrin, he tells us of an icy tower to the north that may have regalia.

=== An Icy River Cruise ===
; Reapsday 5th Meadow
Mavric gets promoted to Herald of the Realm.
Bodric gets saddled with being a Constable of the Realm.
Lyric gets to be an irresponsible Lady.

The tower is about 80 miles north-east (as the adventurer flies).
But we decide to go by iceberg, taking the scenic route, which is:
South from [[Virehold]] down the river then south-west across [[Lake Haleth]] then up river past [[Jurgenhall]] & [[Crasny]] to [[Lake Daering]] then up river past [[Hellsmarch]] to [[Lake Wisborg]] and then to the town of [[Wisburg]]. 

About 3 hours in, we make a brief stop at Jargenhall to collect their reports from Mayor Giles. 

As we approach Crasny we enter a storm bank created by Weather Control.
We get into the Crasny docks about 3pm, they're a bit concerned about the storm and tell us of Dargen's Tower on the eastern edge of the lake, patrols near there have been attacked.

We cruise up the lake and land about a mile north of the tower to approach by foot.
As we get close 4 ice creatures emerge from the lake and attack, we take some damage and destroy them. One had a Blue crystal embedded that is left behind after we smite it.

The tower inhabitants emerge once we let them know it's safe, they are foresters, they took refuge when the ice creatures attacked.

The creatures were created about 3 months ago (by an adept with 29 MA and linked to an Ice Devil). Ritual of Creating Frost Sentinels.
Divination indicates there is an Ice Devil/Demon trapped within the lake, '''Gelugon'''.
* The Blue Crystal has Invested Weather Control, 2 charges remaining, area of effect 7 mile diameter for 7 days.

We rest and sleep while Duvon's elementals dig about 5 miles down to near where there are buildings in a deep rift below the lake, about 2.5 miles down.
We'll head down the tunnel and in the last bit about midday, after Duvon gets some sleep.

'''The Prediction of the Uncrowned Realm''' 
“From the ashes of liberation shall rise a kingdom unhelmed, 
its throne cold, its sceptre silent. 
For the royal regalia, scattered to tombs, glaciers, and cursed ruins, 
are not mere tokens of rule but the living chords of divine accord. 
 
Dwarves shall delve where memory sleeps, 
knights shall ride through frost-bitten valleys, 
and guild mages shall seek truths older than their towers. 
 
Yet shadows of the elder custodians shall stir, 
and buried vaults shall whisper that the regalia’s sundering 
was no accident, but the first note of an unmaking. 
 
When the lost instruments are gathered once more, 
the realm shall stand at a crossroads: 
restored in rightful order… 
or awakened into the same doom that shattered it.”

The Lake has an area some 500 sq mi, up to 0.75 mile deep in places. As such it is like an inland “mini-sea” with cold, dark, high-pressure ecology in the area and mysterious depths never plumbed.

= Marine life found here =
* Common: trout/char/pike, lamprey, crayfish/mussels
* Uncommon: swarm of giant eels, giant octopus, and more

=Overview=

* Sir Alfred de Vonge, the [[Seneschal of Virehold]]
* Loras (mentioned in [[MorsCerta, HoraIncerta]] Spring 823wk)

= History =
This county has a dark and checkered past, perhaps to do with being in the Dragonspine mountains and rarely seeing sunlight. 

== Prior to 825wk ==
Since 810wk the Count of Jurgenmark has been conspicuously absent from the court (his court functionaries are still at court and working for the kingdom) but the taxes have still flowed, albeit severely reduced ones due to the reported incursions of trolls, drow, bandits and assorted other monsters. 
=== The Great Plague of 810's ===
The County had imposed severe travel restrictions since 816wk when around 25% of the population died from this plague. Reports are that the Count was forced to burn entire villages (along with crops and livestock) to keep the plague at bay.
=== Quarantine 811wk ===
The area has suffered a pestilence/plague since 810wk of an other worldly origin, [[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] imposed a quarantine of the county in 811wk with royal guards stopping inward and outward travel in regards to the county. He had declared the area [[March of Sanitaire]] under the Margrave Alfred de Camus.
=== The years of subjugation ===
Between 810 and 815wk the realm was in the thrall and control of a number of evil entities, mages and creatures which took advantage of the weakened realm, killed almost all of the nobility and secretly ran the realm. This was not fully recognised until 820wk when the WK began to take active measures to surround the realm and start long term planing to retake the region.

== Since 825wk ==
=== The reconquest of Jurgenmark - Summer 825wk ===
[[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] and his righteous forces launched a massive series of attacks upon the County of Jurgenmark to free it from its evil oppressors. This was successful but a few small holdouts remain which have been surrounded by WK Forces and may take some time to be fully cleansed. Elves from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment - Waste Ordinance Identification and Disposal (WOID) Specialists|Charitable Foreign Service]] are assisting with the understanding of '''Issues''' and the cleansing processes. 

The [[Void Bringers]] have been largely eliminated but some 'deaths' are more difficult to prove than others.

=== Jurgenmark reopens - Autumn 825wk ===
The WK has officially opened the borders to Jurgenmark and although there is a significant element of danger in the region, the presence of heavy Western Kingdom forces in the area makes it safe for trade and people movement again. 
Some refugees are heading back to their homes to see what remains and what is required to rebuild. The WK forces in the area will also help with the rebuilding if not directly involved in other '''operations'''.

=Economics=
The economics of the realm are based on non agricultural assets. It does have an abundance of fish in its deep mountain lakes and a number of large herds of hardy mountain animals such as goats, Deer, bison, sheep and more 
Jurgenmark is rich in mines supplying Iron, Lead, Tin, Copper, Salt, Gem mines, Marble, Gold, Silver and a silk [[The Eishaar Mine|mine]] 

= Realm Governance =
== Lords 826wk ==

* Baron Henric Henrikson (b789wk -), Baron of Hellsmarch.
As of 825wk, Ulric The King of the Western Kingdom, has appointed Henric as Lord-Protector of Jurgenmark, Margrave of Jurgenmark, Defender of the Northern Marches and Keeper of Virehold. He is charged to oversee the stabilisation of Jurgenmark, work to restore it to Western Kingdom rule and rid the realm of the wretched unholy invaders.
* Baron Alfred de Camus (b762wk -), previously the Margrave of the NorthWest is now the [[Warden of Yorgenhausen]] and Lord of the Yorgen Pass. 
all other nobles and family await King Ulric's pleasure as he assesses their actions and worth.

==Lords to 810wk==
The list of Lords here is that of 810wk when the realm became 'a problem' for the Western Kingdom. 

* Count Cyrus De Vire of Jurgenmark (b768, d) - Missing (Presumed Dead)
* Baron Nokter de Cyvin (b765wk -), Baron of Drendfeld - Missing (Presumed Dead)

= Map =
Sorry its a bad scan but something to illustrate the area 

[[Image:Jurgenmark_Map_ao_810wk.jpg|Centre|900px]]

= Uncovered Knowledge =
The County known as Jurgenmark was known historically to the [[Elven Empire]] as Site 666 or colloquially as the Vault of Shadows and from what records the Western Kingdom have been able to cite, it was a location for experimentation by Elven 'scientists' and others, as well as a location to store, house or hold various powerful weapons, entities or enemies of the realm. The knowledge of the area, its purpose and its contents was mostly lost during the Elven civil wars and the subsequent purges of knowledge and departure (and death) of various entities over the past millennia. Only fragments of the information can be found in various remote vaults, libraries and institutions but various people from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment|Elven Civil Service]] are starting to piece the information together for the current age.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===

; Duesday 1st
The party is briefed at the guild by [[Darcy|Darcy von Reinhold]], a Herald of the Western Kingdom, who makes an offer of employment to the party. 
''Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king'', and offering us 20,000sp each. 

15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up. 
: Note: ''The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up''? 

Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble. 
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark. 

Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellsmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding. 
* Finding the lost [[Regalia of Jurgenmark]] - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.

They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.

Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.

; W'ansday 2nd Meadow

At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.

We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to [[Konigburg|The Royal Theatre of Konigburg]] where she watches a matinee of ''[[The Foul Prince Romero]]'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.

Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.

; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.

The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes. Things have changed from previous years and the maps are no longer as reliable.

We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''[[Virehold]]''' around lunchtime. Lots of guards, church knights,

Henric is engaged to [[Sigrun Jarnhelm]], younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].

Henric briefs the party with the news that if Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835wk) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality. To help stabilise the realm a majority of the regalia must be recovered (the sooner the better) so the boundaries can be reset, reaffirmed and used to keep Jurgenmark as it is. The regalia consists of a number of items such as; 

* 17 Major items
* 17 Secondary items
* Civic Items
* Military Items ...

We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.

If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back. There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown. 
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one - [[Jurgenmark Sigil #1]], a 13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.
Other sigils could look different. 
Previously there were sigils in Hellsmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...

=== The frozen basement ===

Heinie has some secret stuff that he's discovered:
Some Human Count in our ancestry (questionable) got himself magically bound to Jurgenmark which somehow binds us as heirs to the Countship of the place.
It seems all of the family have a birthmark in common, and here in Jurgen those marks are 'active' and have depth and stars in them.

Heinie gives Mavric his 'special staff' so she'll have his authority over the regalia.

Heinie heads off to do important stuff, probably fishing.

We head downstairs to a chamber blocked by ice.
It's magical and resistant to Ice Shovel.
We play with it, having some effect from Mavric touching and using Heinie's stick, we all sing a Dwarven chant together and a passage opens.
We head through to a large room and are attacked by half a dozen recently thawed Orcs and an undead Necromancer (Byron).
Half a minute later, all but one Orc are dead, we interrogate him.
He believes it is still 817 and the necromancers are in charge. He's from Cauldersfield. We hand him over to the guards.

* 3 Amulets: Aquilegius, Diamond, Detect Life

We go on through the next wall of ice to another similar room, finding 6 dead human women (aligned with Powers of Light - Urielite). They died about 10 years ago from life drain.

In the corner of the room is an altar with a 15' magical area of protection.
* Damaged Mirror of communication
* 2 x magic candles
* Chalice full of blessed red wine

=== Deeper into the Icy Basement ===
We head back upstairs for a rest, feast and to collect the others.
Baths, drinking, eating, making up embarrassing stories about Heinie - some of them even true.

; Frysday 4th Meadow
Some divinations:
* Communication Mirror: Self-Divination, Cleansing Flame, Mind Speech with Connected Mirrors - other magic mirrors work best, an affinity needs to be established.
* Chalice: Creates Blessed Wine that Enhances SC & Resistance vs Fear for 1 hour, Weapon Blessing (counts as magical). 7 doses per day.
* Amulet of Detect Life: ESP like life detection, pierces illusions, must be on the ground.
* Candle of Truth Smoke - like true seeing
* Candle of Patient Watch - stay alert

After lunch we head back downstairs. Move the 6 human corpses out.
Altar 6' long 3' wide and high, cold stone, 300 lbs. 15' radius consecrated ground, magic resistance bonus based on faith in powers of light (including [[Embrissa]] - Dwarven God of Hairy Hugs), damage reduction, repels undead.

We then open the next wall...
A 60' wide octagonal room, icy floor, veins of light emitting ice.
Volume is magical, perception magic. As we move forward, icy daggers emerge as we move or make noise, recede when we're quiet.

Dwarven Runes show on the far wall when we get to it
"Stillness is not surrender, it is readiness."

Wall opens to a long hall with 7 iced-over 5' high stone plinths. Standing near one, the surface changes to show a vision specific to the observer.
Each shows something scary in your past or a regret. Pillars of personal reflection.

Next wall opens to a circular room with an icy fissure in the middle. The ice is changeable and unstable, dangerous to cross. Risking a fall into water with something finned swimming in it.

Icy ground fog. Aura of interrogation. As we get closer to the bowl in the middle, it asks what we seek. The bowl contains liquid ice that protects from cold for a minute.
We spend some time interrogating the fog to find the rough locations of all of the sigils.

300 long 80' wide cathedral of ice, levitating plinth of frost rings in the middle. Ice elemental/spirit asks if we're worthy and if we'll accept the trials, after some attempts to sidestep, we agree. First we're near frozen, then asked what we (or Heinie) would sacrifice to save the realm.
We commit Heinie to giving up his magic if needed and that's accepted.
The elemental ('''Skaelvar''') reveals a pile of items while saying: "Winter endures because it yields eventually."
# Mail of the Frost Forge - helps against cold and winter. Brings order, inspires allies.
# Axe of the Cold Gate - carves through ice locked wood and cold barriers. Revels whether gate shave been reached.
# Pike of the Winter Patrol - reliability in cold weather.
# Ledger of the winter stores - tracking stores, preparing for winters. Quartermaster.
# Still heart diadem (Circlet) - supresses local instability and corruption.
# Block of Stone - winter bound keystone. Weighs 300 lbs. - stabilises areas, especially when built into fortifications.
We can return these items here for safe keeping later if we need to.

We head upstairs to hand the items over to the seneschal. Catching an Ice Shark in the fissure room on the way back.

Before we settle for dinner with Sigrin, he tells us of an icy tower to the north that may have regalia.

=== An Icy River Cruise ===
; Reapsday 5th Meadow
Mavric gets promoted to Herald of the Realm.
Bodric gets saddled with being a Constable of the Realm.
Lyric gets to be an irresponsible Lady.

The tower is about 80 miles north-east (as the adventurer flies).
But we decide to go by iceberg, taking the scenic route, which is:
South from [[Virehold]] down the river then south-west across [[Lake Haleth]] then up river past [[Jurgenhall]] & [[Crasny]] to [[Lake Daering]] then up river past [[Hellsmarch]] to [[Lake Wisborg]] and then to the town of [[Wisborg]]. 

About 3 hours in, we make a brief stop at Jargenhall to collect their reports from Mayor Giles. 

As we approach Crasny we enter a storm bank created by Weather Control.
We get into the Crasny docks about 3pm, they're a bit concerned about the storm and tell us of Dargen's Tower on the eastern edge of the lake, patrols near there have been attacked.

We cruise up the lake and land about a mile north of the tower to approach by foot.
As we get close 4 ice creatures emerge from the lake and attack, we take some damage and destroy them. One had a Blue crystal embedded that is left behind after we smite it.

The tower inhabitants emerge once we let them know it's safe, they are foresters, they took refuge when the ice creatures attacked.

The creatures were created about 3 months ago (by an adept with 29 MA and linked to an Ice Devil). Ritual of Creating Frost Sentinels.
Divination indicates there is an Ice Devil/Demon trapped within the lake, '''Gelugon'''.
* The Blue Crystal has Invested Weather Control, 2 charges remaining, area of effect 7 mile diameter for 7 days.

We rest and sleep while Duvon's elementals dig about 5 miles down to near where there are buildings in a deep rift below the lake, about 2.5 miles down.
We'll head down the tunnel and in the last bit about midday, after Duvon gets some sleep.

==== Astrology Reading about the mission form the Guild Astrologers ====
'''The Prediction of the Uncrowned Realm''' 
“From the ashes of liberation shall rise a kingdom unhelmed, 
its throne cold, its sceptre silent. 
For the royal regalia, scattered to tombs, glaciers, and cursed ruins, 
are not mere tokens of rule but the living chords of divine accord. 
 
Dwarves shall delve where memory sleeps, 
knights shall ride through frost-bitten valleys, 
and guild mages shall seek truths older than their towers. 
 
Yet shadows of the elder custodians shall stir, 
and buried vaults shall whisper that the regalia’s sundering 
was no accident, but the first note of an unmaking. 
 
When the lost instruments are gathered once more, 
the realm shall stand at a crossroads: 
restored in rightful order… 
or awakened into the same doom that shattered it.”

The designation of 'Çapital', means the major seat of governing in a realm. Likely the most important/largest city in a realm and where the head of the realm resides in terms of ruling the realm.

[[Category:Jurgenmark]] [[Category:Town]] [[Category:Capital]]

Virehold is the new capital of Jurgenmark after the previous capital [[Zietersheim]] had a mountain dropped on it, almost completely destroying it.

= History =
Virehold was historically a minor town along a minor river leading from the [[Zeist Mountains]] down to [[Lake Helath]].

= Current details as of 826wk =
This used to be a town but since the liberation of Jurgenmark in 825wk this has become the hub of the realm. The town is being rebuilt and the old substantial fort is being expanded into a castle more suitable for the realm.

= Locations of Interest =
* [[Virehold Castle]]

= Details =
Lake Daering is some 56sq miles in area as its 8m across N-S and 7m across W-E. At its deepest point its some 2 and a half miles deep.
= History =
Lake Daering was formed in the last 15 years, probably around 820wk and was formed due to the pressures of Jurgenmark realm geographical borders failing and significant geology changes in the area. Sages suggest that land movement has pulled apart a weak spot going deep into the earth and the lake formed there filled by winter melt and natural underground aquifers.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===

; Duesday 1st
The party is briefed at the guild by [[Darcy|Darcy von Reinhold]], a Herald of the Western Kingdom, who makes an offer of employment to the party. 
''Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king'', and offering us 20,000sp each. 

15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up. 
: Note: ''The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up''? 

Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble. 
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark. 

Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellsmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding. 
* Finding the lost [[Regalia of Jurgenmark]] - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.

They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.

Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.

; W'ansday 2nd Meadow

At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.

We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to [[Konigburg|The Royal Theatre of Konigburg]] where she watches a matinee of ''[[The Foul Prince Romero]]'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.

Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.

; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.

The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes. Things have changed from previous years and the maps are no longer as reliable.

We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''[[Virehold]]''' around lunchtime. Lots of guards, church knights,

Henric is engaged to [[Sigrun Jarnhelm]], younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].

Henric briefs the party with the news that if Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835wk) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality. To help stabilise the realm a majority of the regalia must be recovered (the sooner the better) so the boundaries can be reset, reaffirmed and used to keep Jurgenmark as it is. The regalia consists of a number of items such as; 

* 17 Major items
* 17 Secondary items
* Civic Items
* Military Items ...

We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.

If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back. There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown. 
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one - [[Jurgenmark Sigil #1]], a 13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.
Other sigils could look different. 
Previously there were sigils in Hellsmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...

=== The frozen basement ===

Heinie has some secret stuff that he's discovered:
Some Human Count in our ancestry (questionable) got himself magically bound to Jurgenmark which somehow binds us as heirs to the Countship of the place.
It seems all of the family have a birthmark in common, and here in Jurgen those marks are 'active' and have depth and stars in them.

Heinie gives Mavric his 'special staff' so she'll have his authority over the regalia.

Heinie heads off to do important stuff, probably fishing.

We head downstairs to a chamber blocked by ice.
It's magical and resistant to Ice Shovel.
We play with it, having some effect from Mavric touching and using Heinie's stick, we all sing a Dwarven chant together and a passage opens.
We head through to a large room and are attacked by half a dozen recently thawed Orcs and an undead Necromancer (Byron).
Half a minute later, all but one Orc are dead, we interrogate him.
He believes it is still 817 and the necromancers are in charge. He's from Cauldersfield. We hand him over to the guards.

* 3 Amulets: Aquilegius, Diamond, Detect Life

We go on through the next wall of ice to another similar room, finding 6 dead human women (aligned with Powers of Light - Urielite). They died about 10 years ago from life drain.

In the corner of the room is an altar with a 15' magical area of protection.
* Damaged Mirror of communication
* 2 x magic candles
* Chalice full of blessed red wine

=== Deeper into the Icy Basement ===
We head back upstairs for a rest, feast and to collect the others.
Baths, drinking, eating, making up embarrassing stories about Heinie - some of them even true.

; Frysday 4th Meadow
Some divinations:
* Communication Mirror: Self-Divination, Cleansing Flame, Mind Speech with Connected Mirrors - other magic mirrors work best, an affinity needs to be established.
* Chalice: Creates Blessed Wine that Enhances SC & Resistance vs Fear for 1 hour, Weapon Blessing (counts as magical). 7 doses per day.
* Amulet of Detect Life: ESP like life detection, pierces illusions, must be on the ground.
* Candle of Truth Smoke - like true seeing
* Candle of Patient Watch - stay alert

After lunch we head back downstairs. Move the 6 human corpses out.
Altar 6' long 3' wide and high, cold stone, 300 lbs. 15' radius consecrated ground, magic resistance bonus based on faith in powers of light (including [[Embrissa]] - Dwarven God of Hairy Hugs), damage reduction, repels undead.

We then open the next wall...
A 60' wide octagonal room, icy floor, veins of light emitting ice.
Volume is magical, perception magic. As we move forward, icy daggers emerge as we move or make noise, recede when we're quiet.

Dwarven Runes show on the far wall when we get to it
"Stillness is not surrender, it is readiness."

Wall opens to a long hall with 7 iced-over 5' high stone plinths. Standing near one, the surface changes to show a vision specific to the observer.
Each shows something scary in your past or a regret. Pillars of personal reflection.

Next wall opens to a circular room with an icy fissure in the middle. The ice is changeable and unstable, dangerous to cross. Risking a fall into water with something finned swimming in it.

Icy ground fog. Aura of interrogation. As we get closer to the bowl in the middle, it asks what we seek. The bowl contains liquid ice that protects from cold for a minute.
We spend some time interrogating the fog to find the rough locations of all of the sigils.

300 long 80' wide cathedral of ice, levitating plinth of frost rings in the middle. Ice elemental/spirit asks if we're worthy and if we'll accept the trials, after some attempts to sidestep, we agree. First we're near frozen, then asked what we (or Heinie) would sacrifice to save the realm.
We commit Heinie to giving up his magic if needed and that's accepted.
The elemental ('''Skaelvar''') reveals a pile of items while saying: "Winter endures because it yields eventually."
# Mail of the Frost Forge - helps against cold and winter. Brings order, inspires allies.
# Axe of the Cold Gate - carves through ice locked wood and cold barriers. Revels whether gate shave been reached.
# Pike of the Winter Patrol - reliability in cold weather.
# Ledger of the winter stores - tracking stores, preparing for winters. Quartermaster.
# Still heart diadem (Circlet) - supresses local instability and corruption.
# Block of Stone - winter bound keystone. Weighs 300 lbs. - stabilises areas, especially when built into fortifications.
We can return these items here for safe keeping later if we need to.

We head upstairs to hand the items over to the seneschal. Catching an Ice Shark in the fissure room on the way back.

Before we settle for dinner with Sigrin, he tells us of an icy tower to the north that may have regalia.

=== An Icy River Cruise ===
; Reapsday 5th Meadow
Mavric gets promoted to Herald of the Realm.
Bodric gets saddled with being a Constable of the Realm.
Lyric gets to be an irresponsible Lady.

The tower is about 80 miles north-east (as the adventurer flies).
But we decide to go by iceberg, taking the scenic route, which is:
South from [[Virehold]] down the river then south-west across [[Lake Haleth]] then up river past [[Jurgenhall]] & [[Crasny]] to [[Lake Daering]] then up river past [[Hellsmarch]] to [[Lake Wisborg]] and then to the town of [[Wisborg]]. 

About 3 hours in, we make a brief stop at Jargenhall to collect their reports from Mayor Giles. 

As we approach Crasny we enter a storm bank created by Weather Control.
We get into the Crasny docks about 3pm, they're a bit concerned about the storm and tell us of Dargen's Tower on the eastern edge of the lake, patrols near there have been attacked.

We cruise up the lake and land about a mile north of the tower to approach by foot.
As we get close 4 ice creatures emerge from the lake and attack, we take some damage and destroy them. One had a Blue crystal embedded that is left behind after we smite it.

The tower inhabitants emerge once we let them know it's safe, they are foresters, they took refuge when the ice creatures attacked.

The creatures were created about 3 months ago (by an adept with 29 MA and linked to an Ice Devil). Ritual of Creating Frost Sentinels.
Divination indicates there is an Ice Devil/Demon trapped within the lake, '''Gelugon'''.
* The Blue Crystal has Invested Weather Control, 2 charges remaining, area of effect 7 mile diameter for 7 days.

We rest and sleep while Duvon's elementals dig about 5 miles down to near where there are buildings in a deep rift below the lake, about 2.5 miles down.
We'll head down the tunnel and in the last bit about midday, after Duvon gets some sleep.

==== Astrology Reading about the mission form the Guild Astrologers ====
'''The Prediction of the Uncrowned Realm''' 
“From the ashes of liberation shall rise a kingdom unhelmed, 
its throne cold, its sceptre silent. 
For the royal regalia, scattered to tombs, glaciers, and cursed ruins, 
are not mere tokens of rule but the living chords of divine accord. 
 
Dwarves shall delve where memory sleeps, 
knights shall ride through frost-bitten valleys, 
and guild mages shall seek truths older than their towers. 
 
Yet shadows of the elder custodians shall stir, 
and buried vaults shall whisper that the regalia’s sundering 
was no accident, but the first note of an unmaking. 
 
When the lost instruments are gathered once more, 
the realm shall stand at a crossroads: 
restored in rightful order… 
or awakened into the same doom that shattered it.”

[[Category:Town]] [[Category:Ruins]] [[Category:Jurgenmark]]

= History =
This city was formally the largest city in the real of Jurgenmark until 823wk. During the undead and evil occupation years the city was the primary base for the cabal of mages and entities 'governing' the realm. 

In spring 823wk a mountain was dropped on the city from a great height which destroyed and killed the majority of the evil occupiers and the ruling elite. This mountain created '''Lake Zietershiem'''. This event helped significantly weaken the regime and aided in the overthrow in 825wk when the Western Kingdom forces and the Liberation Brigade retook the realm and banished or killed almost all of the enemy forces.

* Sir Alfred de Vonge, the [[Seneschal of Virehold]]
* Loras (mentioned in [[MorsCerta, HoraIncerta]] Spring 823wk)

= History =
This county has a dark and checkered past, perhaps to do with being in the Dragonspine mountains and rarely seeing sunlight. 

== Prior to 825wk ==
Since 810wk the Count of Jurgenmark has been conspicuously absent from the court (his court functionaries are still at court and working for the kingdom) but the taxes have still flowed, albeit severely reduced ones due to the reported incursions of trolls, drow, bandits and assorted other monsters. 
=== The Great Plague of 810's ===
The County had imposed severe travel restrictions since 816wk when around 25% of the population died from this plague. Reports are that the Count was forced to burn entire villages (along with crops and livestock) to keep the plague at bay.
=== Quarantine 811wk ===
The area has suffered a pestilence/plague since 810wk of an other worldly origin, [[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] imposed a quarantine of the county in 811wk with royal guards stopping inward and outward travel in regards to the county. He had declared the area [[March of Sanitaire]] under the Margrave Alfred de Camus.
=== The years of subjugation ===
Between 810 and 815wk the realm was in the thrall and control of a number of evil entities, mages and creatures which took advantage of the weakened realm, killed almost all of the nobility and secretly ran the realm. This was not fully recognised until 820wk when the WK began to take active measures to surround the realm and start long term planing to retake the region.

== Since 825wk ==
=== The reconquest of Jurgenmark - Summer 825wk ===
[[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] and his righteous forces launched a massive series of attacks upon the County of Jurgenmark to free it from its evil oppressors. This was successful but a few small holdouts remain which have been surrounded by WK Forces and may take some time to be fully cleansed. Elves from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment - Waste Ordinance Identification and Disposal (WOID) Specialists|Charitable Foreign Service]] are assisting with the understanding of '''Issues''' and the cleansing processes. 

The [[Void Bringers]] have been largely eliminated but some 'deaths' are more difficult to prove than others.

=== Jurgenmark reopens - Autumn 825wk ===
The WK has officially opened the borders to Jurgenmark and although there is a significant element of danger in the region, the presence of heavy Western Kingdom forces in the area makes it safe for trade and people movement again. 
Some refugees are heading back to their homes to see what remains and what is required to rebuild. The WK forces in the area will also help with the rebuilding if not directly involved in other '''operations'''.

=Economics=
The economics of the realm are based on non agricultural assets. It does have an abundance of fish in its deep mountain lakes and a number of large herds of hardy mountain animals such as goats, Deer, bison, sheep and more 
Jurgenmark is rich in mines supplying Iron, Lead, Tin, Copper, Salt, Gem mines, Marble, Gold, Silver and a silk [[The Eishaar Mine|mine]] 

= Realm Governance =
== Lords 826wk ==

* Baron Henric Henrikson (b789wk -), Baron of Hellsmarch.
As of 825wk, Ulric The King of the Western Kingdom, has appointed Henric as Lord-Protector of Jurgenmark, Margrave of Jurgenmark, Defender of the Northern Marches and Keeper of Virehold. He is charged to oversee the stabilisation of Jurgenmark, work to restore it to Western Kingdom rule and rid the realm of the wretched unholy invaders.
* Baron Alfred de Camus (b762wk -), previously the Margrave of the NorthWest is now the [[Warden of Yorgenhausen]] and Lord of the Yorgen Pass. 
all other nobles and family await King Ulric's pleasure as he assesses their actions and worth.

==Lords to 810wk==
The list of Lords here is that of 810wk when the realm became 'a problem' for the Western Kingdom. 

* Count Cyrus De Vire of Jurgenmark (b768, d) - Missing (Presumed Dead)
* Baron Nokter de Cyvin (b765wk -), Baron of Drendfeld - Missing (Presumed Dead)

= Map =
Sorry its a bad scan but something to illustrate the area 

[[Image:Jurgenmark_Map_ao_810wk.jpg|Centre|900px]]

= Uncovered Knowledge =
The County known as Jurgenmark was known historically to the [[Elven Empire]] as Site 666 or colloquially as the Vault of Shadows and from what records the Western Kingdom have been able to cite, it was a location for experimentation by Elven 'scientists' and others, as well as a location to store, house or hold various powerful weapons, entities or enemies of the realm. The knowledge of the area, its purpose and its contents was mostly lost during the Elven civil wars and the subsequent purges of knowledge and departure (and death) of various entities over the past millennia. Only fragments of the information can be found in various remote vaults, libraries and institutions but various people from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment|Elven Civil Service]] are starting to piece the information together for the current age.

* Sir Alfred de Vonge, the [[Seneschal of Virehold]]
* Loras (mentioned in [[MorsCerta, HoraIncerta]] Spring 823wk)

= History =
This county has a dark and checkered past, perhaps to do with being in the Dragonspine mountains and rarely seeing sunlight. 

== Prior to 825wk ==
Since 810wk the Count of Jurgenmark has been conspicuously absent from the court (his court functionaries are still at court and working for the kingdom) but the taxes have still flowed, albeit severely reduced ones due to the reported incursions of trolls, drow, bandits and assorted other monsters. 
=== The Great Plague of 810's ===
The County had imposed severe travel restrictions since 816wk when around 25% of the population died from this plague. Reports are that the Count was forced to burn entire villages (along with crops and livestock) to keep the plague at bay.
=== Quarantine 811wk ===
The area has suffered a pestilence/plague since 810wk of an other worldly origin, [[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] imposed a quarantine of the county in 811wk with royal guards stopping inward and outward travel in regards to the county. He had declared the area [[March of Sanitaire]] under the Margrave Alfred de Camus.
=== The years of subjugation ===
Between 810 and 815wk the realm was in the thrall and control of a number of evil entities, mages and creatures which took advantage of the weakened realm, killed almost all of the nobility and secretly ran the realm. This was not fully recognised until 820wk when the WK began to take active measures to surround the realm and start long term planing to retake the region.

== Since 825wk ==
=== The reconquest of Jurgenmark - Summer 825wk ===
[[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] and his righteous forces launched a massive series of attacks upon the County of Jurgenmark to free it from its evil oppressors. This was successful but a few small holdouts remain which have been surrounded by WK Forces and may take some time to be fully cleansed. Elves from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment - Waste Ordinance Identification and Disposal (WOID) Specialists|Charitable Foreign Service]] are assisting with the understanding of '''Issues''' and the cleansing processes. 

The [[Void Bringers]] have been largely eliminated but some 'deaths' are more difficult to prove than others.

=== Jurgenmark reopens - Autumn 825wk ===
The WK has officially opened the borders to Jurgenmark and although there is a significant element of danger in the region, the presence of heavy Western Kingdom forces in the area makes it safe for trade and people movement again. 
Some refugees are heading back to their homes to see what remains and what is required to rebuild. The WK forces in the area will also help with the rebuilding if not directly involved in other '''operations'''.

=Economics=
The economics of the realm are based on non agricultural assets. It does have an abundance of fish in its deep mountain lakes and a number of large herds of hardy mountain animals such as goats, Deer, bison, sheep and more 
Jurgenmark is rich in mines supplying Iron, Lead, Tin, Copper, Salt, Gem mines, Marble, Gold, Silver and a silk [[The Eishaar Mine|mine]] 

= Realm Governance =
== Lords 826wk ==

* Baron Henric Henrikson (b789wk -), Baron of Hellsmarch.
As of 825wk, Ulric The King of the Western Kingdom, has appointed Henric as Lord-Protector of Jurgenmark, Margrave of Jurgenmark, Defender of the Northern Marches and Keeper of Virehold. He is charged to oversee the stabilisation of Jurgenmark, work to restore it to Western Kingdom rule and rid the realm of the wretched unholy invaders.
* Baron Alfred de Camus (b762wk -), previously the Margrave of the NorthWest is now the [[Warden of Yorgenhausen]] and Lord of the Yorgen Pass. 
all other nobles and family await King Ulric's pleasure as he assesses their actions and worth.

==Lords to 810wk==
The list of Lords here is that of 810wk when the realm became 'a problem' for the Western Kingdom.

= Map =
Sorry its a bad scan but something to illustrate the area 

[[Image:Jurgenmark_Map_ao_810wk.jpg|Centre|900px]]

= Uncovered Knowledge =
The County known as Jurgenmark was known historically to the [[Elven Empire]] as Site 666 or colloquially as the Vault of Shadows and from what records the Western Kingdom have been able to cite, it was a location for experimentation by Elven 'scientists' and others, as well as a location to store, house or hold various powerful weapons, entities or enemies of the realm. The knowledge of the area, its purpose and its contents was mostly lost during the Elven civil wars and the subsequent purges of knowledge and departure (and death) of various entities over the past millennia. Only fragments of the information can be found in various remote vaults, libraries and institutions but various people from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment|Elven Civil Service]] are starting to piece the information together for the current age.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===

; Duesday 1st
The party is briefed at the guild by [[Darcy|Darcy von Reinhold]], a Herald of the Western Kingdom, who makes an offer of employment to the party. 
''Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king'', and offering us 20,000sp each. 

15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up. 
: Note: ''The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up''? 

Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble. 
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark. 

Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellsmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding. 
* Finding the lost [[Regalia of Jurgenmark]] - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.

They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.

Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.

; W'ansday 2nd Meadow

At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.

We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to [[Konigburg|The Royal Theatre of Konigburg]] where she watches a matinee of ''[[The Foul Prince Romero]]'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.

Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.

; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.

The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes. Things have changed from previous years and the maps are no longer as reliable.

We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''[[Virehold]]''' around lunchtime. Lots of guards, church knights,

Henric is engaged to [[Sigrun Jarnhelm]], younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].

Henric briefs the party with the news that if Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835wk) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality. To help stabilise the realm a majority of the regalia must be recovered (the sooner the better) so the boundaries can be reset, reaffirmed and used to keep Jurgenmark as it is. The regalia consists of a number of items such as; 

* 17 Major items
* 17 Secondary items
* Civic Items
* Military Items ...

We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.

If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back. There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown. 
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one - [[Jurgenmark Sigil #1]], a 13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.
Other sigils could look different. 
Previously there were sigils in Hellsmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...

=== The frozen basement ===

Heinie has some secret stuff that he's discovered:
Some Human Count in our ancestry (questionable) got himself magically bound to Jurgenmark which somehow binds us as heirs to the Countship of the place.
It seems all of the family have a birthmark in common, and here in Jurgen those marks are 'active' and have depth and stars in them.

Heinie gives Mavric his 'special staff' so she'll have his authority over the regalia.

Heinie heads off to do important stuff, probably fishing.

We head downstairs to a chamber blocked by ice.
It's magical and resistant to Ice Shovel.
We play with it, having some effect from Mavric touching and using Heinie's stick, we all sing a Dwarven chant together and a passage opens.
We head through to a large room and are attacked by half a dozen recently thawed Orcs and an undead Necromancer (Byron).
Half a minute later, all but one Orc are dead, we interrogate him.
He believes it is still 817 and the necromancers are in charge. He's from Cauldersfield. We hand him over to the guards.

* 3 Amulets: Aquilegius, Diamond, Detect Life

We go on through the next wall of ice to another similar room, finding 6 dead human women (aligned with Powers of Light - Urielite). They died about 10 years ago from life drain.

In the corner of the room is an altar with a 15' magical area of protection.
* Damaged Mirror of communication
* 2 x magic candles
* Chalice full of blessed red wine

=== Deeper into the Icy Basement ===
We head back upstairs for a rest, feast and to collect the others.
Baths, drinking, eating, making up embarrassing stories about Heinie - some of them even true.

; Frysday 4th Meadow
Some divinations:
* Communication Mirror: Self-Divination, Cleansing Flame, Mind Speech with Connected Mirrors - other magic mirrors work best, an affinity needs to be established.
* Chalice: Creates Blessed Wine that Enhances SC & Resistance vs Fear for 1 hour, Weapon Blessing (counts as magical). 7 doses per day.
* Amulet of Detect Life: ESP like life detection, pierces illusions, must be on the ground.
* Candle of Truth Smoke - like true seeing
* Candle of Patient Watch - stay alert

After lunch we head back downstairs. Move the 6 human corpses out.
Altar 6' long 3' wide and high, cold stone, 300 lbs. 15' radius consecrated ground, magic resistance bonus based on faith in powers of light (including [[Embrissa]] - Dwarven God of Hairy Hugs), damage reduction, repels undead.

We then open the next wall...
A 60' wide octagonal room, icy floor, veins of light emitting ice.
Volume is magical, perception magic. As we move forward, icy daggers emerge as we move or make noise, recede when we're quiet.

Dwarven Runes show on the far wall when we get to it
"Stillness is not surrender, it is readiness."

Wall opens to a long hall with 7 iced-over 5' high stone plinths. Standing near one, the surface changes to show a vision specific to the observer.
Each shows something scary in your past or a regret. Pillars of personal reflection.

Next wall opens to a circular room with an icy fissure in the middle. The ice is changeable and unstable, dangerous to cross. Risking a fall into water with something finned swimming in it.

Icy ground fog. Aura of interrogation. As we get closer to the bowl in the middle, it asks what we seek. The bowl contains liquid ice that protects from cold for a minute.
We spend some time interrogating the fog to find the rough locations of all of the sigils.

300 long 80' wide cathedral of ice, levitating plinth of frost rings in the middle. Ice elemental/spirit asks if we're worthy and if we'll accept the trials, after some attempts to sidestep, we agree. First we're near frozen, then asked what we (or Heinie) would sacrifice to save the realm.
We commit Heinie to giving up his magic if needed and that's accepted.
The elemental ('''Skaelvar''') reveals a pile of items while saying: "Winter endures because it yields eventually."
# Mail of the Frost Forge - helps against cold and winter. Brings order, inspires allies.
# Axe of the Cold Gate - carves through ice locked wood and cold barriers. Revels whether gate shave been reached.
# Pike of the Winter Patrol - reliability in cold weather.
# Ledger of the winter stores - tracking stores, preparing for winters. Quartermaster.
# Still heart diadem (Circlet) - supresses local instability and corruption.
# Block of Stone - winter bound keystone. Weighs 300 lbs. - stabilises areas, especially when built into fortifications.
We can return these items here for safe keeping later if we need to.

We head upstairs to hand the items over to the seneschal. Catching an Ice Shark in the fissure room on the way back.

Before we settle for dinner with Sigrin, he tells us of an icy tower to the north that may have regalia.

==== Astrology Reading about the mission form the Guild Astrologers ====
'''The Prediction of the Uncrowned Realm''' 
“From the ashes of liberation shall rise a kingdom unhelmed, 
its throne cold, its sceptre silent. 
For the royal regalia, scattered to tombs, glaciers, and cursed ruins, 
are not mere tokens of rule but the living chords of divine accord. 
 
Dwarves shall delve where memory sleeps, 
knights shall ride through frost-bitten valleys, 
and guild mages shall seek truths older than their towers. 
 
Yet shadows of the elder custodians shall stir, 
and buried vaults shall whisper that the regalia’s sundering 
was no accident, but the first note of an unmaking. 
 
When the lost instruments are gathered once more, 
the realm shall stand at a crossroads: 
restored in rightful order… 
or awakened into the same doom that shattered it.”

[[Category:Theatrical Play]]
The Foul Prince Romero also known as The Bloody Murder of the Foul Prince Romero and His Enormously Bosomed Wife. play written by the actors Mossop and Keanric. 

It was said to be a philosophical work, and that both the violence of the murder and vastness of the bosom were artistically justified. The dialogue consisted mostly of two characters discussing their intentions to murder the eponymous prince, as well as all the horrific things they intended to do to him.

Konigburg is the capital city of the [[Western Kingdom]].

= History =

This ancient city was once a small village at the edge of a lake beside some small hills. The village grew in 16WK prosperous due to the discovery of true-silver in a nearby hill along with diamonds and other gemstones. The local lord of the time was Dominus Jubert Glattezung who used the resources to transform the village into a rich trading town and establish himself as a very rich man. 

The next few years saw [[Ulric the Wolf]] forge his realm into what is now [[Aquila]] but which were then merely realms that bowed to his over-lordship by choice or at the end of his army's swords. Konigburg became one of the towns in what are now the '''Duchy of Aquila''' and the centre of his realm. When Ulric_the _Wolf married the '''Marquessa of Bowcourt''' he made Konigburg the centre of the Western Kingdom of the time (which included only present [[Aquila]] and [[Bowcourt]]) and the town grew further into a city. 

The next centuries saw the city grow further and yet more prosperous and some of the local rivers were diverted to flow through the city forming the canal river system that is a feature of the city today. The great Konigburg Cathedral of Ottokar was built and the old fort Swangzt was rebuilt; becoming what is [[Castle Konigburg]] of today.

== 818Wk ==
[[Royal_Debutante_Ball_of_818]]

== 813 WK ==
It has been noted in reports from Konigburg that rune covered obelisks have been positioned in and around the city and guards posted on or near these stone objects. Queries as to their purpose have been met with silence or sometimes incarceration for especially persistent or insolent query makers. As such little is known of them and attempts to scry them have been met with limited success as they seem to be affecting the magic involved. It is surmised that they are some sort of defence mechanism for the city against portal using magic.

[[Image:Konigburg_Map_v1_Jun-12.jpg|right|300px|Version 1 of the map]]

== Vargon River ==
The River that runs through the city (West to East) is the [[Vargon River]] named after one of Ulric the Wolf's great generals and it flows from the hills to the North and West of Konigburg down to the great [[Baratary River]] some 80 miles to the east.

== Key to details in the city map ==
See the map above - this is still a work in progress 
1. Konigburg Castle . The castle walls are large and solid, having been built up over the last few centuries to their current height of 50ft with large parapets looking down from their heights. There are wall towers every 200ft around the walls. The walls are guarded by the Castle Guards known as the [[Schwarze Menn]].

''Access to the castle and precincts is quite restricted and 'visitors' ('''this includes [[Seagate Guild]] members who are even more closely scrutinised, searched, relieved of weaponry, relieved of armour, relieved of all items inc potions etc, laden with Iron identification bracelets and very heavily escorted by attentive, expectant and trained guards if allowed in at all''') are subject to search and scrutiny via a number of magical means as well as mages and items of interest confiscated and held by the guards until they leave. Everyone entering the area even if staff or guards are magically checked and searched before admittance.

'''These precautions have been instigated to protect the royal family from any more assasination attempts and since the threat of war with the Elves / Drow'''''
 

2. Royal Gardens. These lovely gardens are only accessible by way of Volins Bridge from Konigburg Castle as it is elevated above the surrounding river and enclosed by the gardens walls that are just as high and patrolled by the [[Schwarze Menn]] as well. The Gardens are the domain of the [[Konigburg Royal Gardeners]] who care for the flora here and the few small buildings nestled in the gardens amongst the trees and flowers growing abundantly here. Few people apart from the nobility of the WK and such like have been through here but those that do relate tales of beauty and wonder in such a small area.

3. Glattezung Castle. The original castle of the city which is now the base of the Konigburg Guards and their supporting forces. The castle is made of thick dark stone and the walls are said to be very thick as well as deep rooted. The castle features 7 towers with one being the black tower that was rumoured to be a prison in the dim dark past.

4. Tower Isle. This island is the home of the Western Kingdom Institute of Magical Knowledge and has 7 heptagonal shaped towers with a larger Octagonal tower in the center of the island. The island is the domain of 'The Institute' and its members. The citizenry of the city are allowed on the isle but in practise they rarely go there unless they have specific business there. The bridges to the isle are watched over by mages from the Institute who scrutinise the visitors before allowing them to pass. The Arch-mage of the Western Kingdom is [[Myrddin Adhan.]] who is a staunch royalist and supporter of the King although he has kept a low profile until after the King married Queen Meredithis of Ranke.

5. Isle of Serenity. This island is in the center of Fontaine-de-Konigs and it has a few small buildings and most notably a huge rotunda for musical occasions. It is a haven for illicit rendezvous and a place to get away from the city.

6. Fontaine-de-Konigs. This lake of water is the product of a natural spring that produces water of great clarity. The area of the lake hasn't changed much overtime but it remains slightly (10ft) raised above the level of the surrounding land due to the extensive cobbled walks around its area on raised earth and stone which provide firm boundaries for the waters..

7. Magnus Gate
This is a large solid gatehouse which comprises two sets of double gates, and two portcullis' which rises to 140ft. The Gate tunnels are 50ft long and rise to 40ft with a width of 30ft.

8. Otto's Gate
This large tower and gatehouse complex rises to 230ft and includes a 236-step spiral staircase that leads up to the observation platform 180ft above the ground that affords great views of the surrounding countryside. The single gate tunnel runs for 80ft and rises to 50ft with a width of 40ft and has heavy portcullis and iron gates at either end.

9. Albert's Gate
This Gate is composed of a south tower, a north tower and a central building. It has several levels and the gate tunnel runs for 40ft and is 30ft in height and 30ft in width. The two towers and the central block appear as one construction and the towers have high peaked conical roofs that peak at 250ft.

10. Vlad's Gate
This impressive gate is a triple gated gatehouse with two 160ft tall conical towers and a central barracks built above the triple gates. The gate tunnel is 70ft long and 30ft wide with strong gates and portcullis at either end. Abutting the gates is a squat dark tower known as Vlad's gate which has a sinister reputation from the reign of King Vlad and was where he took various beings who were never seen again. Since 780 the tower has become the home of the [[WK College of Heralds]] and they have taken over the neighbouring stables as well.

11. Queens Gate
This is a simple gatehouse and building with the towers and gatehouse rising to a height of 166ft above ground and the tunnel under the gatehouse is 100ft long and arches up to a height of 60ft with a width of 40ft. Ladies of the court, prominent female figures and future queens all have to pass through this passage and be noted in 'The book of Queens passage'.

12. Edris Bridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

13. Wolf Bridge. This Arch Bridge rises to a height of 20ft above the Vargon River and river traffic isn't allowed to pass beneath its stone arches.

14. Volins Bridge. This enclosed Arch Bridge rises quickly to a height of 60ft above the Vargon River and river traffic isn't allowed to pass beneath its stone arches. This is the sole entry point to the Royal Gardens and few people apart from the nobility of the WK and such like have been through here.

15. Kings Bridge. This Arch Bridge rises to a height of 20ft above the Vargon River and river traffic isn't allowed to pass beneath its stone arches.

16. Jubert's Bridge This Arch Bridge rises to a height of 20ft above the Vargon River and river traffic isn't allowed to pass beneath its stone arches.

17. Bridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

18. Bridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

19. Bridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

20. Eastbridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

21. Bridge. This raised Arch Bridge rises in the centre 40ft above the Vargon River allowing river traffic to pass beneath its stone arches.

= Notables =
Being the capital city and seat of the royal court means that you can barely throw a cat without coming into contact with someone of note (and even more so once you enter the walls of Konigburg castle) and so not everyone will be detailed here but GM's can detail likely people of importance to be added once encountered.

[[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric Schwarzrotgold]]. Married [[Duchess Meredith|Queen Meredithis]] in Summer 812 WK.

The institute has been quietly going about its business since 400WK and good quality reliable mages regularly graduate to take up positions as court mages throughout the WK or undertake other activities - once their tutalage costs have been repaid. The graduates and other mages are all known for their skills and ability as well as sense of honour which was part of the Institutes cirriculum. This is the primary home of magical training in the Western Kingdom and all citizens of the WK who qualify can join. A number of other locations throughout the WK are owned by the Institute.

== The Royal Theatre of Konigburg ==
As of 826wk, Director Francesco, Madame Morth performing in the play [[The Foul Prince Romero]]

= Locations within the castle walls =

'''The great Konigburg Cathedral of Ottokar aka Ottomars Basilica'''

'''Counvent des Célestein''' 

The Celestial Convent is a convent dedicated to bringing up young noble ladies of the Western Kingdom and has been in place since 366WK.

'''The Grand Palace''' 

The Grand Palace also known as Magnus's Hall was started in 88WK.

'''The Konigs Palace''' 

The Konig's Palace is a 6 story stone building nestled up against the SE corner of the Castle.

This 60ft tall large solid round tower houses many important offices of the Western Kingdom bureaucracy but the top 3 floors hold '''The Royal Archives of the Western Kingdom''', under the control of the [[Western Kingdom|Lord Clerk Register - Francoise Lerchensfeld]]. The archives are reputed to be hidden away in a maze of tunnels under the grounds of the castle as are huge amounts of Jewels, hidden rooms and secret residences - but this is perhaps just a local legend.

= The Royal Court =

= Forces in the City =

1 - [[The Kings Rapiers]]
These were previously known as The Tricorne Hobbits of the King's Rapiers 
This elite band of 200 Halfling Fighters (and occasional Mage) has great stature in the Western Kingdom as the loyal protectors of the King. They are well dressed and have red tri-corn hats.
* At the start of Winter 810 the hobbits received a missive from King Ulric Schwarzrotgold asking them to return to his service. 40 hobbits departed to Konigburg then with the other 160 returning at the end of Spring 810. They all have reclaimed their old uniforms and are protecting the King once more.

2 - The Wolf Guards aka [[Wolfschutz]]
This is one of the elite units of the Western Kingdom forces and has been guarding the royal family since it was formed out of [[Ulric_the_Wolf]]'s personal guard in WK 1. It has grown from 10 men into the present day (800WK) company of 200 men and women who are charged with guarding the royal family. There are a number of sub units attached to the Wolfschutz of which little is known.

* The Wolfschutz are commanded by [[Margraf Josef de Marzban]] who is also known as Hochwolfe. Margraf Josef de Marzban is the 10th de Marzban to hold the position of commanding the Wolfschutz and he grew up with King Ulrics father Frederick Albert Schwarotgold I. Josef de Marzban is very loyal to the line of Ulric the Wolf and King Ulric himself as he has seen him grow from a babe to the King that he is today.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===

; Duesday 1st
The party is briefed at the guild by [[Darcy|Darcy von Reinhold]], a Herald of the Western Kingdom, who makes an offer of employment to the party. 
''Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king'', and offering us 20,000sp each. 

15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up. 
: Note: ''The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up''? 

Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble. 
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark. 

Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellsmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding. 
* Finding the lost [[Regalia of Jurgenmark]] - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.

They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.

Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.

; W'ansday 2nd Meadow

At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.

We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to the theatre where she watches a matinee of ''The Foul Prince Romero'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.

Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.

; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.

The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes. Things have changed from previous years and the maps are no longer as reliable.

We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''[[Virehold]]''' around lunchtime. Lots of guards, church knights,

Henric is engaged to [[Sigrun Jarnhelm]], younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].

Henric briefs the party with the news that if Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835wk) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality. To help stabilise the realm a majority of the regalia must be recovered (the sooner the better) so the boundaries can be reset, reaffirmed and used to keep Jurgenmark as it is. The regalia consists of a number of items such as; 

* 17 Major items
* 17 Secondary items
* Civic Items
* Military Items ...

We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.

If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back. There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown. 
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one - [[Jurgenmark Sigil #1]], a 13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.
Other sigils could look different. 
Previously there were sigils in Hellsmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...

=== The frozen basement ===

Heinie has some secret stuff that he's discovered:
Some Human Count in our ancestry (questionable) got himself magically bound to Jurgenmark which somehow binds us as heirs to the Countship of the place.
It seems all of the family have a birthmark in common, and here in Jurgen those marks are 'active' and have depth and stars in them.

Heinie gives Mavric his 'special staff' so she'll have his authority over the regalia.

Heinie heads off to do important stuff, probably fishing.

We head downstairs to a chamber blocked by ice.
It's magical and resistant to Ice Shovel.
We play with it, having some effect from Mavric touching and using Heinie's stick, we all sing a Dwarven chant together and a passage opens.
We head through to a large room and are attacked by half a dozen recently thawed Orcs and an undead Necromancer (Byron).
Half a minute later, all but one Orc are dead, we interrogate him.
He believes it is still 817 and the necromancers are in charge. He's from Cauldersfield. We hand him over to the guards.

* 3 Amulets: Aquilegius, Diamond, Detect Life

We go on through the next wall of ice to another similar room, finding 6 dead human women (aligned with Powers of Light - Urielite). They died about 10 years ago from life drain.

In the corner of the room is an altar with a 15' magical area of protection.
* Damaged Mirror of communication
* 2 x magic candles
* Chalice full of blessed red wine

=== Deeper into the Icy Basement ===
We head back upstairs for a rest, feast and to collect the others.
Baths, drinking, eating, making up embarrassing stories about Heinie - some of them even true.

; Frysday 4th Meadow
Some divinations:
* Communication Mirror: Self-Divination, Cleansing Flame, Mind Speech with Connected Mirrors - other magic mirrors work best, an affinity needs to be established.
* Chalice: Creates Blessed Wine that Enhances SC & Resistance vs Fear for 1 hour, Weapon Blessing (counts as magical). 7 doses per day.
* Amulet of Detect Life: ESP like life detection, pierces illusions, must be on the ground.
* Candle of Truth Smoke - like true seeing
* Candle of Patient Watch - stay alert

After lunch we head back downstairs. Move the 6 human corpses out.
Altar 6' long 3' wide and high, cold stone, 300 lbs. 15' radius consecrated ground, magic resistance bonus based on faith in powers of light (including [[Embrissa]] - Dwarven God of Hairy Hugs), damage reduction, repels undead.

We then open the next wall...
A 60' wide octagonal room, icy floor, veins of light emitting ice.
Volume is magical, perception magic. As we move forward, icy daggers emerge as we move or make noise, recede when we're quiet.

Dwarven Runes show on the far wall when we get to it
"Stillness is not surrender, it is readiness."

Wall opens to a long hall with 7 iced-over 5' high stone plinths. Standing near one, the surface changes to show a vision specific to the observer.
Each shows something scary in your past or a regret. Pillars of personal reflection.

Next wall opens to a circular room with an icy fissure in the middle. The ice is changeable and unstable, dangerous to cross. Risking a fall into water with something finned swimming in it.

Icy ground fog. Aura of interrogation. As we get closer to the bowl in the middle, it asks what we seek. The bowl contains liquid ice that protects from cold for a minute.
We spend some time interrogating the fog to find the rough locations of all of the sigils.

300 long 80' wide cathedral of ice, levitating plinth of frost rings in the middle. Ice elemental/spirit asks if we're worthy and if we'll accept the trials, after some attempts to sidestep, we agree. First we're near frozen, then asked what we (or Heinie) would sacrifice to save the realm.
We commit Heinie to giving up his magic if needed and that's accepted.
The elemental ('''Skaelvar''') reveals a pile of items while saying: "Winter endures because it yields eventually."
# Mail of the Frost Forge - helps against cold and winter. Brings order, inspires allies.
# Axe of the Cold Gate - carves through ice locked wood and cold barriers. Revels whether gate shave been reached.
# Pike of the Winter Patrol - reliability in cold weather.
# Ledger of the winter stores - tracking stores, preparing for winters. Quartermaster.
# Still heart diadem (Circlet) - supresses local instability and corruption.
# Block of Stone - winter bound keystone. Weighs 300 lbs. - stabilises areas, especially when built into fortifications.
We can return these items here for safe keeping later if we need to.

We head upstairs to hand the items over to the seneschal. Catching an Ice Shark in the fissure room on the way back.

Before we settle for dinner with Sigrin, he tells us of an icy tower to the north that may have regalia.

==== Astrology Reading about the mission form the Guild Astrologers ====
'''The Prediction of the Uncrowned Realm''' 
“From the ashes of liberation shall rise a kingdom unhelmed, 
its throne cold, its sceptre silent. 
For the royal regalia, scattered to tombs, glaciers, and cursed ruins, 
are not mere tokens of rule but the living chords of divine accord. 
 
Dwarves shall delve where memory sleeps, 
knights shall ride through frost-bitten valleys, 
and guild mages shall seek truths older than their towers. 
 
Yet shadows of the elder custodians shall stir, 
and buried vaults shall whisper that the regalia’s sundering 
was no accident, but the first note of an unmaking. 
 
When the lost instruments are gathered once more, 
the realm shall stand at a crossroads: 
restored in rightful order… 
or awakened into the same doom that shattered it.”

= History =
This county has a dark and checkered past, perhaps to do with being in the Dragonspine mountains and rarely seeing sunlight. 

== Prior to 825wk ==
Since 810wk the Count of Jurgenmark has been conspicuously absent from the court (his court functionaries are still at court and working for the kingdom) but the taxes have still flowed, albeit severely reduced ones due to the reported incursions of trolls, drow, bandits and assorted other monsters. 
=== The Great Plague of 810's ===
The County had imposed severe travel restrictions since 816wk when around 25% of the population died from this plague. Reports are that the Count was forced to burn entire villages (along with crops and livestock) to keep the plague at bay.
=== Quarantine 811wk ===
The area has suffered a pestilence/plague since 810wk of an other worldly origin, [[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] imposed a quarantine of the county in 811wk with royal guards stopping inward and outward travel in regards to the county. He had declared the area [[March of Sanitaire]] under the Margrave Alfred de Camus.
=== The years of subjugation ===
Between 810 and 815wk the realm was in the thrall and control of a number of evil entities, mages and creatures which took advantage of the weakened realm, killed almost all of the nobility and secretly ran the realm. This was not fully recognised until 820wk when the WK began to take active measures to surround the realm and start long term planing to retake the region.

== Since 825wk ==
=== The reconquest of Jurgenmark - Summer 825wk ===
[[Ulric_Schwarzrotgold|King Ulric]] and his righteous forces launched a massive series of attacks upon the County of Jurgenmark to free it from its evil oppressors. This was successful but a few small holdouts remain which have been surrounded by WK Forces and may take some time to be fully cleansed. Elves from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment - Waste Ordinance Identification and Disposal (WOID) Specialists|Charitable Foreign Service]] are assisting with the understanding of '''Issues''' and the cleansing processes. 

The [[Void Bringers]] have been largely eliminated but some 'deaths' are more difficult to prove than others.

=== Jurgenmark reopens - Autumn 825wk ===
The WK has officially opened the borders to Jurgenmark and although there is a significant element of danger in the region, the presence of heavy Western Kingdom forces in the area makes it safe for trade and people movement again. 
Some refugees are heading back to their homes to see what remains and what is required to rebuild. The WK forces in the area will also help with the rebuilding if not directly involved in other '''operations'''.

=Economics=
The economics of the realm are based on non agricultural assets. It does have an abundance of fish in its deep mountain lakes and a number of large herds of hardy mountain animals such as goats, Deer, bison, sheep and more 
Jurgenmark is rich in mines supplying Iron, Lead, Tin, Copper, Salt, Gem mines, Marble, Gold, Silver and a silk [[The Eishaar Mine|mine]] 

= Realm Governance =
== Lords 826wk ==

* Baron Henric Henrikson (b789wk -), Baron of Hellsmarch.
As of 825wk, Ulric The King of the Western Kingdom, has appointed Henric as Lord-Protector of Jurgenmark, Margrave of Jurgenmark, Defender of the Northern Marches and Keeper of Virehold. He is charged to oversee the stabilisation of Jurgenmark, work to restore it to Western Kingdom rule and rid the realm of the wretched unholy invaders.
* Baron Alfred de Camus (b762wk -), previously the Margrave of the NorthWest is now the [[Warden of Yorgenhausen]] and Lord of the Yorgen Pass. 
all other nobles and family await King Ulric's pleasure as he assesses their actions and worth.

= Uncovered Knowledge =
The County known as Jurgenmark was known historically to the [[Elven Empire]] as Site 666 or colloquially as the Vault of Shadows and from what records the Western Kingdom have been able to cite, it was a location for experimentation by Elven 'scientists' and others, as well as a location to store, house or hold various powerful weapons, entities or enemies of the realm. The knowledge of the area, its purpose and its contents was mostly lost during the Elven civil wars and the subsequent purges of knowledge and departure (and death) of various entities over the past millennia. Only fragments of the information can be found in various remote vaults, libraries and institutions but various people from the [[Alfheim#Ministry of the Environment|Elven Civil Service]] are starting to piece the information together for the current age.
