Rumours of Sshamath

[Undertaker]

A female (considered as "having an overwhelming death-wish" by most of those gathered) was seen insulting and threatening a masked female wizard inside Sshamath's School of Necromancy. The wizardess, it is said, answered to the threats by casting a single spell which, by all accounts, almost tore the taunting woman's soul off from her body.

The potty-mouthed woman was then seen following the wizardess inside the School of Necromancy's innermost chambers with an extremely submissive look. What happened then is still matter of debate among the School's students.

Whispers leak through the city, eye witness accounts of House Dev'lin's recent ceremony at the Temple of Lolth.

Most versions gloss over the speeches and gesticulating, focusing on the unprovoked attack by one of House Dev'lin's females on a prominent ally of the conclave. Tedia Dev'lin's likeness is described often enough, though the tales speak of a range of occurrences.

"Tedia Dev'lin, the one who carries the bow, the mouthy one. She stormed upto a conclave faern as he was respectfully bowing to Ilharess Quilinthra and cracked her bow around his face. There's sure to be repercussions from that"

"Tedia Dev'lin, I'm not sure where she sits in the house, a slave maybe. She pushed over Ilharess Quilinthra to try to get to a jaluk watching on. Had the eye for him it's said"

"Tedia Dev'lin, she came charging up from behind and lunges at Izzrar Hunep's face as he politely celebrated with House Dev'lin's Ilharess. He just laughed it off and she walked away like a petulant child"

"Tedia Dev'lin, xas the Ilharess whipped her in the streets for her misdemeanour's, and the newly acknowledged House males took her away for amusement"

"Tedia Dev'lin, she's the one that threatened to attack the Stonestave if House Dev'lin weren't given House Sshamath's seat on the council"

"House Dev'lin were in disarray, the family fought openly with each other tooth and nail. It's good Sshamath only has a few of these mindless zealots"

New rumours seem to be coming to light on an uncannily regular basis

An agent of the 7th Circle as well as the Circle's Eye, the Arch-necromancer Tyv'lael, were seen accomodating a masked female of alleged human race inside the heavily-guarded School of Necromancy, before giving her a thorough tour of the School of Necromancy and of the Preparation School of Sshamath.

Rumors concerning the mysterious female's identity abound.

A rather comical turn of events has happened in Gloura's Wings this cycle. Many of the patrons, unskilled in the use of the art, witnessed members of House Dev'lin, including now the infamous female Tedia (///compliment here), shouting abuse and insults at thin air. The whole incident could prove insanity of the house and their followers if it wasn't for the fact that the 'thin-air' was responding to them with a deep female voice. Those skilled in the weave and some more witty observants would understand they were arguing with a being under the invisibility spell of some kind.

At some point a wizard member of the house was seen casting a spell (again the skilled ones would identify it as Greater Dispell Magic) from a scroll, but her efforts were in vain and the individual remained concealed. Insults were thrown between both parties and one calling herself 'Lolth's wrath', not surprisingly can now be considered yet another enemy of the house. Out of the four Dev'lin members and supporters only a male calling himself Rael kept a cool head and the being displayed no direct hostility towards him. Same cannot be said about individuals calling themselves Doss, Esch and not surprisingly Tedia.

The whole row was supposedly a result of the invisible individual eavesdropping on House Dev'lin's conversation without their knowledge nor consent.

A female with ruby red eyes calling herself Lolth's Wrath approaches some members of House Dev'lin with a blood dripping bag. She hands it over a member of the house then leaves without a word.

Inside of the bag is a parchment wrapped head of a male known as Amir. The parchment reads:

Next...

A rather heated argument at the marketplace between Tedia of House Dev'lin and a half-blood known as Natalya was cut short by the intervetion of the Mistress of Dark Weavings Tyv'lael, who proceeded to kill Tedia on the spot with a single spell before ordering her body carried to the School of Necromancy without nobody bothering - or daring - to complain of her act.

Tedia's body was then brought to the School of Necromancy by Tyv'lael's tanarruk slave. Hours later, Tedia was seen walking out of the School of Necromancy, alive and well...although with a rather hollow and empty expression on her face.

Tedia?! .... is that -really- you?

[Storm Munin]

Rumour persists that a joint force of skirmishers from Houses Sshamath, Xilaben and Tir'en recently returned from the underdark in this cycle. Details are sketchy but it appears to have been composed around a core of Silith the renowned Bae'qeshel, the deathsinger Velvelin and the weaponsmaster Radoseth.

What could possibly have made the three Houses seek a common goal and why did the weaponsmaster carry what has been described as the petrified head of a dragon in his arms when they returned?

Steel, songs of terror & destruction alongside the Art, one can only speculate as to what destination they had sought.

A handsome, young male drow with short silver hair could be seen walking through the merchant vendors of Sshamath. Passerby would immediately notice that he seems new to the city, but not new to the hodge podge of various races doing business in one location. He seemed almost....comfortable. Those sizing him up would notice he walks with a subtle confidence and an even finer eye, taking in the details of each vendor he passes as well as the haggling approach each merchant used and the notable landmarks within arcane city. He walks the market for hours before retreating back to the Gloura's Wing.

Last cycle horrific sobs and screams echoed from the cells of The Spiders Kiss.

[mireigi]

A bruised and battered dimunitive drow bearing the insignia of Bregan D'Aerthe is seen making his way through the streets of Sshamath, searching for something or someone. Occasionally he fades from sight by means of stalking through the shadows.

As another cycle ends, the market stall that housed Drathyrra's Wands remains empty and closed for business.
