Rumours spread that a Sava Tournament is soon to be held in the Spiders Kiss. No one is quite sure on the details behind the rumour, though it is said that along with the prestige and disrespect earned from the games, numerous magical trinkets are being donated for the higher ranking players.

Murder in the UnderDark!

A jalil is seen carrying a body, along with a detached head into the city and to the temple, where she reports that several rivvil murdered then decapitated the "Necromancer".

Laying the body at the feet of the priestess, she kneels down beside it and awaits word of what she should do.

Rumors say about one surface elf, which is known as Tir'en house friend, was in Sshamath today. He was seeking for someone, who may be interested in slave marked, or something like, what rumors already are not contain.

Rumour has it agents of the Temple are looking for a supposed treacherous darthiiri being present in the city and will pay for information about People and lesser beings associated with such an abomination.


Also the Temple Wizard Isendur Sshamath was seen leaving the Temple on his own two feet looking quite alive.

Drow and inferior races walking next to the Gloura's Inn last cycle could have witnessed an animated discussion between somebody who called himself 'The Necromancer' and a stoic and calm yellow robed and masked drow male, bearing symbols of the School of Conjuration.

The Necromancer was aggravated and was speaking threats regarding the visiting surface traders and complained about their presence within the city. The bemused male found it hard to understand what was his role in this conversation and how speaking those words in the range of the school of divination would not get the necromancer in trouble.

The robed male also denied the offer of utilising the victims heads as sacrifice on the altar of Lolth saying he does not share the Necromancer's religious habits.

Rumour has it that the Temple of Lolth are looking for a sculptor and expert miners for a contract job.

Apparently there are also coin to be had for anyone supplying viable information on settlements of Svirfnebli and Orog.

A lean, beardless duergar with determined and rather rushed movements is sometimes seen frequenting the Gloura's and the city. Rumours of small cracks of thunder from the West of Varalla's, and the scattering of bruised corpses of displacer beasts, apparently pummeled to death, are attributed to this figure.
He claims to serve the Shield Breaker Clan, but for what reasons is yet unknown.

It is said Yath'abban Irrtana Sshamath has been succesfully promoted to a Yathrin. In addition, a Svirfneblin has been seen running away from the temple during the ceremony.

14th of Kythorn, DR 1350
There was quite the commotion earlier at the Temple to Lolth. Several members of House Dev'lin attended a ritual to bring a male drow back to life. The circumstances of his dead remains unknown to the citizens of Sshamath, as does the reason for his resurrection. The few onlookers there recognized the male drow as one who had often had business with the temple in the past, the scout and assassin, Phar.

A grey orc and a tannaruk were seen just outside the Gloura's Wings conversing with a pair of drow. A large worg was present as well. A cowled drow bearing the insignia of house Dev'lin approached and demanded to know who was responsible for the beast being loose in Sshamath. The orc replied that the monstrosity belonged to him. Another drow jaluk was seen also advising the orc to remove his "pet" or the worg would be removed forcefully. The orc refused and as the two drow males approached the worg to slay it the orc transformed into an elemental form and attacked. The drow of course defeated the orc druid with little effort and killed the worg. The drow males claimed the orc as a slave for its disrespect for the laws of Sshamath but the beast ran off before the Charnag arrived.

/// Would any dm like to comment on that? The above incident exhausts the meaning of the word 'meta-gaming' and qualifies for a RP petmadeath.

Tedia Dev'lin can be seen of late with a fresh scar on her neck .. though healing nicely ... for any who had seen the bite marks on her neck earlier ... it would appear that that entire part of her skin ... had been cut off.

Those that frequent Gloura's Wing and the Temple of Lolth can sometimes see an unfamiliar face. Those in the temple and inn have heard that she is a yath'abban from Ched Nasad, others believe she is from Menzoberranzan.

A certain jabress has been seen in many parts of the city demanding proper respect be shown upon her. It seems she is now associated with filing an orc with arrows and nearly gutting a jaluk. Even at one time whacking a Faern jaluk across the nose with her bow, which is most of the time slung over her shoulder, making it easily accessible.

Rumours whispered on the streets of Sshamath speak of the rising tension between the Lolthian's of the city and those who do not believe in the old ways of the drow...Hostility has risen against outsiders in Sshamath. Even the traders feel at times the bloodthirsty eyes following them on the streets of the drow city, and disapearances of certain non drow has occured more than usuall...

Whispers also heed of new players arrival to the game of power in the city during the last couple of cycles...
