Plots 04 06

April, 2006

Locals may have noticed some changes over at the Rememdium Edificium. Doctor D'Rael has left Myrken Wood to return to his homeland, and now the hospital has been left in the hands of his nervous, but dedicated workers: Janessa, Bryce, and Raziqa.

Following the destabilization of Myrken Wood's government in the past half year, the Order of Straka has effectively disbanded with the resignation of Captain Thomas Daniels. Councilor Kerrak al'Nerun has been quick to pick up the pieces, introducing the Brotherhood of Janeiro to take Straka's place, even taking in Straka guardfolk who still wish to serve.

Notes and signs have been popping up all over Myrken Wood speaking out against Myrken Wood's political leaders as well as the current governmental situation, including the disbanding of the Order of Straka and the coming of the Brotherhood of Janeiro; the notes have all been signed "People of Myrkenwood."

There's been a series of pick-pocketings going on in broad daylight. People have had their purses snatched in the marketplace areas, yet still have not been able to pin down the culprit. So far, no one has been hurt nor any property damaged.

The mutilated body of Governor Altias Bromn was found some time ago, the injuries so severe as to leave it almost unrecognisable. A new Governor has not been selected -- and with the loss of three Councilors, Myrken Wood is without substantial leadership.

Strange noises have been heard in one of the rooms of the Broken Dagger late at night, accompanied by the smell of mint lately. Muffled screams (female-sounding), sounds of impacts, and metal upon metal may occasionally sound out. Nothing ever too loud, though.

Continued sightings of dark elven patrols have evaded anything but gaze at various, more underpopulated points of Myrken Wood. Although no more further reports of murder have come as a result, their presence continues to grow more formidable and threatening.

A string of kidnappings have been plaguing the whispers of Broken Dagger tavern-goers -- most notably, the guard D'ran, and the newcomers Kaelum and his elven compatriot Reverie have been said to be missing. Also: Broken Dagger owner Molly O`Neill and her betrothed Mikhail have both gone missing, most notably since the demands that drow inquisitors Audmathus and Faeryl made to have some journal or book of import returned to them. Some believe that Mikhail himself has gone alone to retrieve his beloved soon-to-be-wife.

Tsoss, the baby of councilor Suede Roschen and the drow Jirai is also rumored to be missing, though many believe that Jirai herself had something to do with this particular kidnapping.
