Welcome back into the fold, my brother. Your ban has been removed.

I'm speechless.

I support this.

On the heels of a storm that shook the trees in the Veil, word spreads of a party of adventurers returning from the deeper parts of the forest bearing several brutally mutilated corpses. Rumours fly as huntsmen and wildwalkers come bearing reports of individual trolls frantically moving about the land, strange movements of the trees of the wood, pushed against the wind, and even of thunderous crashing from the deepest reaches of the Mist-laden East ...

After several days of increasingly violent troll raids from the Morass, a large warband -- led by Lord-Captain Ronald Fryth and Inquisitor of the Numinous Order Edvar Gildenberg, and including several Wyrm Watchers and a whole column of dwarves among others -- is said to have finally scattered the tribe responsible. Only time can tell if the attacks shall cease, however, for as every adventurer knows, trolls and their kind are notoriously difficult to exterminate.

After careful deliberation, the staff has determined that there is no such thing as the Illuminati. This thread will be locked to ensure that our playerbase does not waste time discussing imaginary organizations in the real world, and continues to distract itself in the rich, imaginary world we have created for the greater good of all mankind.

Added a bit more character-building information, for your convenience.

All paladins in EfU are expected to create liberal democracies with universal suffrage and fair, equitable social programs for all citizens, monstrous or non-monstrous. Any other behavior on their part runs the risk of causing their fall from grace.

The hirelings of clan Caermyn mourn the death of prominent retainer Quintus Forecrest, who was slain in a duel with the infamous Gadyw Aberdenn, uncle of Earl Arthur Aberdenn, on the bridge over the River Tear today. The weathered axeman, actively sought by the government for inciting rebellion but praised by certain segments of the village population for standing up to the excesses of Caermyn rule, is said to have provoked a brawl just outside Mistlocke's gates before escaping into the forest, reportedly aided by several Aberdenn bannermen present.

Rumors abound of smoke rising from Sis Liman. Merchants at Mistlocke's market hall watch the horizon uneasily at the greasy smoke rising from the border of the forest, having expected a Caermyn caravan to bring goods for sale this morning.

Villagers speak tremulously of a small skirmish in the village square late last evening, in which several Aberdenn retainers posing as peddlers came to blows with a gathering of Muster watchmen and Caermyn retainers over a refusal to pay for the Lord-Mayor's notorious merchant licenses. Two of the Aberdenn bannermen were slain in the chaos, and two more taken into custody at the Last Keep.

A heated exchange is said to have followed afterwards between the Aberdenn patriarch Arthur and several Caermyn retainers, wherein a certain Quintus Forecrest demanded that Arthur's uncle Gadyw "One-Eye", whom he believed responsible for the attack, be delivered into the Muster's custody. Arthur denied the charges, and claimed ignorance to the One-Eye's current whereabouts much to Deputy Mayor Basil Calbrooke's chagrin, who threatened legal consequences before Arthur stormed into his family halls.

Clan violence is new to few in Mistlocke, but with Caermyn ascendant over the political institutions of the village, rumors of Aberdenn bravos skulking in the forest past the village walls, and much of Mistlocke still ruinous from the aftermath of the Comital invasion, many worry that the village might be host to yet another conflict, this one a bitter struggle between its own heroes.

The crumbling edifice of Old Stones has loomed large in recent village gossip. It is said that the merchant Hortense Higgins fled there with her stores on the day before yesterday, chased out of the market hall by Caermyn retainers checking for merchant licenses. And now this afternoon, the ancient tower was raided by several watchmen of the Muster and a handful of Wyrm Watchers when a man named Tarius, evidently serving with the Muster, was murdered in the aftermath of a duel on Old Stones' roof.

Never has the building's curse been as evident in recent memory as it has when horror-struck villagers watched as several bodies bearing horrific wounds were dragged out by the raid's survivors, and even Captain Volaunt is said to have left the Last Keep to keep the loitering crowd from nearing too close. Most are happy to do so: one would have to be a special kind of fool to dare and enter the place.

Both are bugs, to be fixed soon.

I like to reward PCs who enhance the verisimilitude of our imaginary world. But your character's language is your own to use.
