I have found these slightly older files being left in a drawer of my desk.

There was recently a Sunite ritual being conducted by the lake of Eveningscar. Essentially, it involved several people talking about love and praying to the goddess to restore a tiny patch of soil. These efforts all failed miserably.

However, it seems noteworthy that such open displays of „Love“ were sufficient to draw and anger these spirits, as mentioned in one of the previous reports relating to the „zest of life“. Conversely, the pain of lost love did not appear to anger the spirits - or at least not to the same degree.

Perhaps, the entire location should be assigned the status of an extended graveyard - that, at least for the time being, should not be disturbed by any further cruel displays of the pleasures of life.

One gnome was arrested for firebombing the palace.

As advised I never executed him, and ended up imposing a sentence of a tenday re-education with the temple of Tymora.

@gloomy_sunday disrespecting the guard is already a fineable offense.

Raubagaush is either dead or gone.

What odd claims.

Mikals fine had been cancelled by Beltran, and I reinstated it in light of his slanderous posters just yesterday.

Abelard of House Blackstone

//I only reimposed the original fine yesterday and haven't had a chance to be in game to collect it.

I stopped a tiefling and asked for her papers, she turned out to be a Scion Lennireth. A Bloodhound approached and enquired about the whereabouts of my mother. I informed him she was safe and that we had spoken lately. He proceeded to ignore my demands. I snuck in to see if they were being instructed by Dalacrioux to ignore the law. The Bloodhound assaulted me when he indicated there was a trespasser.

I proposed to Abelard we return to apprehend the Bloodhound, he wished to wait.

Merely reading it caused the Ilmateri to tear their skin out. Likewise, many will kill for it.

I shall pass it to the Arcane Division for inspection. I have told the religious authorities they have three days to present evidence this is a relic and should be turned over.

Beltran

Warden,

I don’t think you should have pursued him. Next time, you should leave criminals like that, and maybe the Murdered Manticore altogether, to me. I am something of a hero in the community.

Personally, I think the Wardens need to focus on the important desk-based initiatives. There was no warden to process the angry bishops that set fire to people in your district, and they rightly complained about efficiency. It would have been very embarrassing for the Crown Guard if you had been killed as we would have needed to have appointed a new Historic District warden while processing the criminals. And the bishops would likely have been even more angry at the inconvenience.

I have been informed the head priestess of the Talonite church is, and I quote, “a half drake” and the tiefling thing is in league with it.

This is being investigated further.

This has been announced to the public

Dont recall contacting her at all.

@silversquirrel said in A letter to Mr. Beltran Blackgrain of the Crownguard:

Dear Mr. Blackgrain,

I have never seen a more courageous defender of the Crown, and I highly doubt I ever will. I must admit I do not think I would have the nerve to even think about trying such a thing again - but having slain these Frost Giants with you fills me with more than a little speck of admiration and respect.

In the aftermath, I have been called for via sending by one of your colleagues, one Mr. Blackstone. I trust you know him well? Please relay my apologies to him that I have not yet been able to comply with his request for a conversation about the infamous villain, Ms. Sabriel the Mad.

I am afraid I have little to no pertinent information concerning this vile individual. I briefly saw her a few times, but hardly ever exchanged more than a few words. The longest time I may have actually spent in a room with her was when she was spouting her poison at the so-called Lathanderite "War Council", calling for the priest Belon to "open his coffers". I think she wanted gold, and magical trinkets, and unlimited quantities of "glory". She sounded like an idiot then - but I suppose no one could really have guessed just how mad she must have been already at that time. She hid it well, I think, although I barely knew her.

Now, I have heard, like everyone else in the kingdom, that the Chapter Master Fyevarra Dyernini, Ethran of Rashemen, and Leader of the Illuminated Blade once called her a friend. She has also stated that she has denounced her, and why. I believe these statements to be truthful but I have not been privy to whatever, if anything, Ms. Sabriel the Mad and the Chapter Master might have discussed behind closed doors. From what I heard, Ms. Sabriel the Mad was also a Bard of some ability; highly skilled with crafting her words to her optimal advantage. She will just have told the Chapter Master, and whomever else she might have been speaking with, whatever lies she thought would benefit her vile and selfish aims.

I do not know who her associates might have been, or if she even had any. Or.. maybe that is not entirely correct. I think she consorted with Mr. Marchetti of the Church of Cyric. I believe there were a few sendings to that effect, and I once heard her say she wanted to "speak" with him.

Best regards,
Elsa Brown

Citizens are hurting themselves at the direction of the Ilmater. I have asked for them all to undergo searches to determine if they are using some form of magical compulsion.

I spoke with another member of the precept, she claimed to be named Hailey though her second name was 'a secret'. she went on to claim that the precept could help me 'unlock the secrets of my blood'.

This is a dangerous cult, and its members hold many secrets from the representatives of the King.

We need to arrange a force, take down the Precept Arcanum, and claim it in the name of the King!

@greenlung said in Deryn Radulf - Shrine of Malar:

Esteemed Huntmaster and the Beastlord's Clergy,

The Agents of the Crown seek your support and blessing in one of our expanded enterprises.

A specialized division of hunters is being established, dedicated to the tracking and slaughtering all manner of abhorrent and alien creature which pose a danger to our glorious realm.

I would welcome some of your time to discuss how we can work together for the betterment of the faith and the King's lands.

Francis of the House Sallvara, Agent of the Crown and Partaker in the Great Hunt of Man

The Iron Leash shall be the focal point of the monster hunting division once established - I have reached out to the Malarite faith for blessing and guidance.

Two members of the city have stepped forward to aid the cause:

Shep
Barra

Both strong armed weapon users, grunts are always an important staple.
