Wilheim desires to join the Crown Guard
He has sent this report
@lunatichigh said in Report: Delivered to the Crown Guard[DM/PC]:
[Delivered to the Crownguard himself]
Salutations,
My name is Wilhem Alun Drakensorrow. I am a Minstrel that hails from Waterdeep and I have come to your fair city in the hopes of finding my destined role in the realms and beyond.
I was told by the recruiter to make a report in order to become a full-fledged Crown Guard. After receiving my most brilliantly feathered hat, these are the notable events that transpired:
-
There was a sending made by an anonymous person today. “People and livestock have been turned to stone on the Moonsea road. Those able to help should assemble there.”
-
Upon hearing this, I went to investigate. I entered the Moonsea Road and at the very entrance, I met a woman, Hailey if I recall correctly- a girl with a hat and a cat. She was magically inclined as she cast an invisibility spell upon her person before she left the area.
-
Another appeared as well, but I believe from a different direction. This time t’was an elf covered in enchantments and looking as if he were ready for battle that very moment.
-
The elf warned me that there was a beholder lurking about the area and that it was wounded. He remarked that he meant to battle with it. I asked him if he were to fight it alone. He stated that he would do battle with it alongside his “Elven Fellowship”. They never appeared, unless they were further ahead or some such thing.
-
I am not certain whether this elf was the one who wounded the creature nor do I have any proof that he went and did battle with it.
-
All three parties returned back to Arabel after the short conversation, as far as I am aware.
I did not think it wise to follow unknown figures against such a dangerous foe alone. I am not even certain whether the sending was true or not as there was naught any proof of petrified animals or persons; however, I do recommend keeping an eye on those that were included in my report. I also understand that these locations might be outside of our jurisdiction, but I felt compelled to report it as they were quite suspect. Perhaps in the future I shall assemble a group to investigate these matters.
It is my hope that I shall be able to join the Crown Guard in the capacity as an Investigator to ensure the safety of all.
Signed,
Wilhem Alun Drakensorrow
The report seems clear,
I will set him the task of highlighting glorious things members of the Crown Guard have done and reccomend him

@v-rage
You wish to hire a foreign minstrel, with no procent loyalty or relation to the Crown, and recommend him if he songs your praises? How…. creative of you. Perhaps a task that actually proves his loyalty and commitment?Florent

I have asked him to write his ideas on slowing the Lathanderites ability to crusade as they are planning to march on the druids.
Their main aim is to slay the lycans and giants but they will fight the druids as they will protect them, Whilst I am no fan of monsters the King has granted the druids permission to use these monsters to fight the beholders

Wilheim sent this in at my request, there are some good ideas in it even though I am against giving druids immunity, especially for working with monsters that eat men
@lunatichigh said in Letter: Crown Guard Proposal to Dominic, Ursula:
@V-Rage @Silverswift
[Two copies are sent out, one left on Dominic's desk, the other for Ursula at the Grove south of the city.]I have drawn up a simple proposal in the attempt to minimize collateral damage between our neighboring towns and wild allies while also strengthening the position of the Crown and its agents.
As we know, the Lathanderites stationed in Eveningstar and the House of the Morning, along with members of the Order of the Aster, are in direct opposition to the Oathsworn and Wildwalkers of Arabel due to the latter’s decision to align with the monstrous force of Lycanthropes and Oathsworn Giantkin to do battle against Izereth the Witch and the Beholder Hive.
It is my current understanding that Eveningstar has exiled and banned these Wildwalkers from entering the city as well.
Now, I cannot say with absolute certainty that these creatures are necessarily a direct danger to our city nor that they can be trusted in the long term; I do, however, know that they can be utilized as a powerful force and temporary tool in the stead of Arabellan forces. Luck has it that the Crown has deemed fit the alignment of these forces in the upcoming battle.
With that, a problem has arisen: The House of the Morning and Order of the Aster seem to be quite adamant about joining the battle and fighting on two fronts. It is understandable their position against these unsettling and unsavory allies of the Druids; but we must realize that our Wildwalker and Oathsworn allies are bearing the brunt of this war and have been willing to do so from the very beginning. I do not wish to see our allies hurt and weakened and scattered; a united, strong front that stands together is most ideal.
Therefore, my proposal:
-
Offer Immunity to the local Wildwalkers and Oathsworn for the duration of the Beholder War campaign. Under this Immunity granted by the Crown, the Druids will suffer no consequence for defending themselves against hostile Lathanderite crusaders.
-
If any individual(s)actors of the Lathanderite crusade harm, capture or kill any local Wildwalkers or Oathsworn of Arabel that the city is allied with, these individual(s) will incur heavy fines, imprisonment or execution for the duration of the Beholder War campaign and shall be extradited to Arabel for crimes committed.
-
Eveningstar shall also suffer sanctions on trade and military if her actors are in violation of this proposal, to be later determined by Crown Officials.
-
As a precaution to avoid misuse by any bad actors, the Crown Guard shall work alongside Precept Arcanum and other prominent factions within the city to ensure that the Beholder Menace can never be replicated in the future. Any and all evidence of Izereth the Witch, her allies, and the Beholder Hive that any party may come across shall be handled properly and with care and promptly turned in to the Crown Guard or Precept Arcanum for future research and study into methods of prevention and security. Individual(s) that fail to comply will be held in contempt and conspiracy and subject to severe punishment by Crown Forces.
This is only a mere draft of my proposal, but I do hope that it is well received and read over and given thought. Our allies are vital to the safety and security of our fair city. Yet, some allies cannot be reasoned with and it saddens me that it is the people of the wilds that are more reasonable than the "civilized" folk of Eveningstar.
Signed,
Lay About Wilhem Alun Drakensorrow
Crown Guard Aspirant[An additional note below that seems to be, more or less, implied to be not included within the proposal on Dominic's copy]
I would also like to add that if the House of the Morning draws more and more fanatics and crusaders to their town, they may become truly a threat to our city. We should, at the very least, be mindful of this force and their radical ideals that empower and embolden their actions.
Just an aside.
[On Ursula's copy, an additional note is left]
I figure you wish to see how I am using my words to benefit you and your tribe. These are terms meant to protect you. Let me know if this is acceptable.
