Dear Faithful,

All are invited to the Meeting of the Faithful this week, where we will discuss things that concern the forest. This week there might also be some planning for a special task for the faithful as well and I encourage everybody to come help out.

// Big thanks to DM Eminence for helping the faithful perform the Song of the Trees. Literally one of the best events I've been in in my three years here. I'll be interested to hear if there is any follow up.

// The meeting is tomorrow (Friday) @ 5 pm CENTRAL US time.

A note is posted at the Friendly Alliance Inn, a bit tattered as if it has been gnawed on by something with sharp teeth.

Dear Faithful,

I welcome everybody to the shrine of Mielikki where the Meeting of the Faithful will be hosted. We will catch up on news that concerns the forest.

I hope that everybody who wants to can make it. If you have any questions please leave message below. If you require an escort to attend the meeting, rangers will be happy to lead the way.

Aftermath of the Song of the Trees event,

As the Faithful make their way to the woodcutters' hamlet, it turns out that it barely even deserves that name. Willowdale is a cluster of wooden houses at the foot of a dale, with a small stream running near. A weeping willow tree looks about to topple over into the stream.

Children who should be helping their families with chores run after the Faithful, at a distance with big curious eyes. As the Faithful make their way over to Berke's family, they notice that a new wooden house is being built and timber is being used heavily for furnishing and fencework around the farmlands and cattle. An old man sits on a stool outside one of the houses they pass, carving a piece of wood which looks to be a child's toy. He pauses in his work and gives the Faithful a toothless smile.

As they approach Berke and his sons, Trevor and Willis, they are invited in to share a simple meal consisting of vegetable stew and bread. Other men of the village join them around a crowded table. Over its course they are told that the men have come to decide to take up on the Faithful's offer. They'll learn to live in better harmony as best as they can, under the Faithful's watchful eyes. A forest closer to their home, for the generations to come, was desirable. It saved time and made the journey less perilous, as all kinds of things preyed on the easy hunting grounds that the roads had become. One of the men who introduced himself as Rolf, said he lost his son and a nephew recently. Nothing was found of them and the horse except for the cart, some equipment a few paces away from it, and stains of blood. There was uncertainty among the men if the blood was the horse's or not. A respectful silence followed before talk went back to more pleasant topics.

The Faithful were offered lodging for the night if they so wished. What was clear to all the Faithful was that the work in the forest would show slow progress. Seeds and saplings grow slowly. Will the humans be patient and forage more carefully, or will they over generations forget what their ancestors decided..?



// Unfortunately I missed the last Faithful meeting and there was none till tomorrow. Apologies to those who went the past weeks wondering what happened. I've written the summary above with respects to not control any of your characters in order to get a disclosure to the course of actions you decided. If you want answers to specific questions or have any thoughts, you can PM me. I won't continue with the hamlet aspect itself but some characters may be re-occurring if you are interested in further small adventures.

[Seymor]

The meeting of the faithful is at 5 PM Central time, 10 PM GMT.

I encourage everybody to join us this week. DM Eminence has graciously planned out an event or series of events for the faithful to participate in.

Dear Faithful,

The meeting of the faithful will be held at the shrine of Mielikki this week.

In various inns around the Swordcoast there can be seen flyers made out of leaves with the following text written on it:

"Hello rangers and followers of nature,

if you are new to the area or you are looking for like-minded people in this region, I will offer you my help. Leave a note for "Vendor Xon" at the Friendly Arm Inn. You also can meet me and other followers of nature every seventh day at the Meeting of Nature's Faithful near the Shrine of Mielikki. I look forward to meet with you. I can show you around or teach you about land and nature.

Vendor Xon Forester of the Gate."

A detailed report:

The Nature's Faithful met again at the Shrine of Mielikki. Robin the priest of Mielikki, Lambe, Ven, both rangers and also followers of the Forest Queen, the gnome druid Uranfen of Segojan Earthcaller, the druids of Silvanus Ivan and Berea as well as Elaria talked about the latest news. Robin told that noone answered to the quests he had set. Also Vendor's call for other rangers and protectors of nature was unreplied. They rather had any helping news from Triel or the Forest of the Wyrms. Lambe talked to Hoihe from Candlekeep who studies dragons. But he had no clue why there are all kind of dragons in the woods yet. Vendor Xon had suggested during the last meeting, that maybe it is because Tiamat, the leader of the cromatic dragons, hides in this dark forest. They also decided, that the next meeting will be held at the shrine of Silvanus. Also they had a little interruption by the man called Talisen, who told them that he can't understand why someone should guard trees more than people. After a short discussion, he left the shrine with his company Alika after he spend some coins to the shrine. Unfazed of his performance the Faithful tried to continue the meeting, but they were interupted again. An elf had watched them from the back for a while. He asked them about the elves of Doron Amar. He was told the way to the village and left to the Friendly Arm Inn.
After the meeting, the Nature's Faithful traveled to the Woods of the Sharpteeth. Lambe told them, that he watched a strange mist in the southern part of the forest. As soon as they arrived in the forest, they noticed the mist and that there were no boars, rabbits and deers around. The whole part of the forest looked overhunted. After Ivan told them some more about the werewolves, they decided to move to Doron Amar for to offer their help to the elves.

A simple flyer would go up on a few tavern walls, and the notice board in Baldur's Gate.
