--Wolves!--
Image
In areas surrounding Beregost, unusually large packs of wolves harass lone travelers, small groups of people and even remote houses, often dragging people and animals away. The wolves are incredibly bold and unusually strong. Few lucky survivors speak of a huge monster with glowing eyes watching attacks from distance. The beast is said to be surrounded by dark aura of sorts. Some say that there was not one beast, but two.

The new administrator, set to take the office of the governor in Beregost, does not arrive on the scheduled day. Another two days pass, no sight of the Amnian caravan.

Image

On the third day grim news reach Beregost. The caravan that was traveling from Athkatla towards the town was found in the Cloudpeak outskirts, horses scattered, everyone put to the sword, guard and passenger alike. It would seem that the apparent power vacuum in Beregost is to remain. For how long, it's anyone's guess at this point. The town turns its attention to Athkatla and the Coin Lords, many fearing the Council's next move. The flow of coin is disrupted, and that simply won't do in the Merchant's Domain.
A hard heart and a strong mind are the foundations of faith.

TRADE GOES DOWN
Likely expected by mercantile onlookers, trade from and to Beregost in past Tendays have significantly dropped due to the recent struggles of the town against rampaging monsters and the fact that Beregost still has no governor after the last two were reported to have been murdered.

An irate and apparently troubled traveller called for the guards in Beregost upon his sudden arrival to arrest some travellers that passed by, among them a "blue wizard" and a few armoured men and women, calling them undead summoners and worse.

However his loud protestations were lost amid farmers complaining about Wolves roaming the lands to the north, merchants hollering about lost revenue, citizens complaining about food shortages, and not least circling vagabonds and ne'er do wells seeking opportunity in a town short on leadership. The guard nonetheless took a complaint and moved him on.

Just another day in Beregost.

-- Massacre --
A massacre occurred at a distant farmlands outside of Beregost fence. Due to farmers being evacuated, only 3 people were killed, however, remaining lifestock is brutally slaughtered, leaving a grizzly scene. Large number of wolf footprints are in the scene. Guards arrived late at the scene to react to it.

There are bloody trails leading into the woods.

--Preparations in Beregost--
Rumors say that Song of the Morning temple in Beregost is trying to collect resources to start some sort of measure against wolves, and likely will request adventurer assistance. There are whispers about outrageous large reward being involved, although with each rumor supposed amount keeps increasing beyound any reason. There were no official announcement yet.

((The event will happen at 6.. 7 PM GMT+0, either on friday or on saturday, likely on Friday. No party size cap and no level cap. ))

--No More wolves--
Image
The wolves that terrorized city surroundings have disappeared. It would seem they have left without a trace. Some wonder if the wolves would return. Some claims that recent adventurer expedition might've had something to do with it. Some wonder where the wolves went.

But in the end... one less threat to worry about for citizens of Beregost.

--Terrified Man--
A terrified man arrives at Nashkel's outskirts, screaming incoherently something about hooded figures, terrifying elven wizard and dragons . Locals would see a large shadow in the sky prior man's arrival.

The man was last seen heading to temple of Helm.

A small band of mercenaries - a dozen men -at most, stops at Beregost's inn, heading elsewhere. They do not stay long and are gone within few days.

Rumors spread of an attack on the temple of Helm in Athkatla. Apparently a number of clergy, knights and simple worshipers have been slaughtered by a mix of undead, devils and humanoids. Further this group unleashed a small undead force into the streets. Thankfully Guardian Telwyn and a number of the Helmites had been absent during the ordeal and managed to avoid meeting the same fate.

The cities officials hire bounty hunters and send out word that they are looking for any and all information relating to this attack. The promise of a handsome reward for anyone who helps bring the guilty in.

BEREGOST ANNOUNCES INDEPENDENCE!


On 27'th of Marpenoth, the Most Radiant Kelddath Ormlyr has proclaimed that in a half-a-tenday's ((5 days)) time the town of Beregost is going to be formally and officially regaining its independance and losing the status of protectorate of Amn.

The news were mostly met with cheers, since the denizens of Beregost have long wished to finally cede from influence of Amn and regain ruling over themselves. The Most Radiant also spoke that all Amnian citizen who will wish to return to Amnian lands will be given time to finish their businesses, forfeit any property they own to newly independent Beregost or citizen of Beregost and will be compensated by the town should the Amnians find no buyers. Afterwards, templars and militia of Song of the Morning will personally help escorting them to Nashkel, where they'll be received by the town. Any Amnian citizen that will wish to remain in Beregost will hereby be considered now a citizen of Beregost and will be treated equally by laws of the settlement.

At the same time, Kelddath Ormlyr spoke that Beregost has agreed to maintain diplomatic neutrality with Amn and Lord's Alliance, including Baldur's Gate. The matter will be ensured to be upheld with help of the Everwatch, whom will act as custodians on Amn's behalf and make sure no tensions arise from Amnian side. It is also important to note that Beregost has agreed with Amn to change status of members of the Zhentarim to be officially banned from conducting any activities pertaining to their organisation and business in newly independent Beregost.

The city is, unsurprisingly, preparing to hold an official ceremony of regaining independence that is to be held on 1'st of Uktar, which is said that will be followed by city-wide feast and non-violent sports competition sponsored by Song of the Morning to celebrate this historical event in a true Lathanderite fashion.


((OOC information: The event will take place on 1st of November at time of 23:00 GMT))

Real life is overrated.))
