Although no longer a rumor. Llolthian Priestesses from Mezoberannzen have arrived in a business delegation. The Wizards are entertaining them as honored guests.

The mindflayer merchant known as Ithic has recently begun spreading rumor of a Shadowdragon in the area of Sshamath. Word on its purpose and whereabouts are as of yet unclear.

A group of Bregan D'aerthe sellswords took it upon themselves to hunt the dragon down, but their initial search proved fruitless.

Rumors start to spread about a member of the Charnag Maelthra being carried into a room in Gloura's by a hooded Jalil, and that the Sargtalin appeared to be almost near death. The inns keeper of the Inn also allegedly reports that she didn't she the Jalil leave the room either and that when she checked the Jalil had seemingly vanished

Rumour has it that a dead body was found near the dark weavings bazaar, in hideous condition. From what is heard, the torso had numerous bruises along with many burns of various sizes. The authorities successfully recognised the body as that of a doppelganger, the species also known as changelings.
That which made an even larger impact however was the whisper of a shattered skull, one that was completely hollow....

The following rumour started circulating from the School of Mages.

It is heard that a strange assortment of creatures was seen near the area of the troglodytes, in the caverns. According to the report there were driders and magic-enhanced water elemental along with another odd creature whose name and origins remain unknown, one capable to use significantly strong magic.

Some say that those creatures even fought with a student of the school and that it was a student also the one who brought the news to the school's Master.

May find the rumours disturbing as such dangerous creatures are rarely, if ever, seen so close to the city. The school itself has advised everyone to remain calm and be extra cautious when wandering in these caves, yet made no further comments regarding the accuracy of the above...

Rumours circulate that one of the apprentices at the school of necromancy is paying well for bodies of interest. Just what constitutes "interest" is unknown. What is known is that she has rarely turned down the chance to prod a corpse in the past.

Those interested in selling a body should contact the school of necromancy's anatomy section. (send Antas'aere a pm)

Voices go of a new shopkeeper that has recently opened at Sshamath central. He is in the specialism of the summoning, dealings, contracting and other such matters with Ta'nari (Demonic) and Baatezu (Devil) works. And offers expert insight about the hell's or the Abyss.

Rumors are saying that a red letter has been left in one of the tables of the Glouras Wings tavern, it was written with blood of someone.

“Every member of the Charnag Maelthra will be killed in the upcoming cycles. And this will count for those who hide them aswell. Beware members, do not leave the city alone...“

Some say there was a scalp in the letter from one of the Charnag Maelthra member that is missing. The letter continues...

"... For those who wants to join the cause, the devil is seeing"

They are saying that there isn't any sign or codename on it.

The certian Infernalist that have recently opened a boot in the city, have expanded his trade to those within the city. The talk go, that if he is around, he will be glad to recite spells from scrolls to those that seek to venture outside the city, and have little of their own to guard from the creatures that inhabit the closer tunnels. Equally, for a modest sum of their money, he also offers to escort and obtain bothersome objects they may need, such as the basilisk eggs often asked for by his naboring tradesmen.

Rumour has it that shortly after Eldebryn's class , one or two of his's student went to Ithlitid's mine . the small group consisted of dureguars warriors , a litle gnome and a small jalil.

Rumors goes on that they met with a dureguar clan leader as well as the Three , a powerfull triumvitae that rules over the Ithlitids mines and the dureguars slaves from the comfort of a secret base.

Nobody is certain of what happened next, but upon returning to Shaamath the party that kept quiet and worried at first loosened up in Gloura's . As the drinks on the table piled up , the Duregars warriors spoke of defeating nothing else then an entire army while the young jalil insist at least one of the three Kings is dead.

Their saga is so formidable , its soon hard to beleive and bystanders scatter shaking their heads. '' a dureguar army ? Three Ithlitid kings that rule in secracy from a hidden base in the tunels '' who would beleive it.

As the hours go by along the City of Dark Weavings, large posters are seen in various places of interest, the Bazaar, Gloura's, the streets and near the shops of various vendors, some of even near the schools of the Conclave and the Charnag Maelthra's facilities.

The calligraphic letters are written with expensive black ink on fine parchments.
"Hail Sshamathians,

Let it be known that from this moment the 7th Circle, run by the well-known Elkinyon, is back in action and recruiting for members.

Are you an expert at arms and combat? A bold adventurer, divine healer or a skilled arcanist?

Rumour on the streets is that the fabled Runner, Elkinyon Sshamath who was missing in action for the last 3 years along with a great deal of his organization, 7th Circle, has now returned.
It is said that he has already met the Masters of the Conclave and the Matrons of various Houses, who have greatly appreciated the Circle's services in the past.
Some say that he swiftly initiated this recruitment plan to fill the empty slots in his group that were caused by various casualties.

Rumour has it the 7th circle waisted no time getting organized and demonstrating a show of force just as the Runner returned , a unit of a fresh recruits eager to prove their worth set out on a great journey.

In only two cycles (( game time )), using magic, stealth and wits they have managed to Slay two great demons a Balor and a Pit fiend, from the deepest lava caves, through the Netherese ruins , across the sword coast, on to the sky scraping Grey peak and finaly back to Sshamath. They have sucessfully evaded every surface patrols and adventurers , defeated every netherese ghosts on their way.

Festivities went on for the better part of the next cycle at gloura's while the tunels echos with recruiting slogans for the 7th circle.

Rumors are abound of a new priestess of Lolth selling Divine magical wares in the City of Dark Weavings. It is said, a certain Yathrin Vhaeshess Do'Qixzan imbues Divine magics to scrolls... and that they are available to respectful patrons, for the right price. Those interested in placing orders, can find the Lolthite priestess usually at The Web of the Spider Queen in Sshamath. It seems even the priestesses of Lolth these cycles need to make a living.

According to rumours that start circulating among the city, originating from the students of the School of Mages, master Eldebryn is currently writing a book. A practical guide of sorts that will contain certain important knowledge and information for arcane users who wish to improve their performance in combat and survival when travelling alone.
Some of the sources claim that this tome will probably be available in the market within the next weeks.

In addition to the services already given by the Temple of Lolth in Ssamath, the priestess Nhilvrae Kilvirr has posted a note in the Gloura's Wings stating that anybody interested in a divine nature wand can contact her and place an order. She is also willing to pay anybody a small fortune (4000 gold each) for bone wands. Wands may cost anywhere from 9,000 gold to 50,000 gold or even more, but they are well worth the price given they are able to be recharged (each wand has 50 charges). Right now, bone wands are imperative. Orders may take a while to construct due to their heavy price requirements at this early stage.
