House Darius RP

[Winterborne]

A bustling night of visitors at the Lewd Lyre ends with a procession of knights and bar patrons out through the City, towards the Radiant Heart Chapterhouse.

[Jen Joy]

A rumour has it that Linetheil, the grey-robed woman often seen wandering around the Coast, has once again taken a respite within House Darius as a guest of Nathan Goldenmane, the House Steward.

Whilst mostly keeping to herself, she is seen casting enchantments upon Nathan when he departs the house for the day; In the evening, upon his return, Linetheil's absent gaze is there to greet him, remaining at a doorway for the briefest of moments before retreating back to her own peace.

Were anyone wishing to contact her, they may leave a note to the bar staff at the Lewd Lyre.

Late in the evening, a tiefling delivered several cases of wild game meat, already cut and butchered, to Joy the Bartender in the Lewd Lyre. Seven rabbits, two boars, one deer. The meat would be good for stews, roasts, ribs, steaks, and chops.

[Winterborne]

Having been informed in advance of her coming, Joy gives payment for the goods as approved by the bar manager and House Steward.

A beautiful mirror is delivered on the morning at the House Darius Estate, the people delivering it said it was already paid for. The mirror is a lovely and elegant frame with a shiny newly made mirror. It looks elven made.

A box of smoke-able items, some of them rather questionable, finds its way to The Lewd Lyre. An elegantly written parchment accompanies the gift.

---

Proud parents Fingal and Melody Darius of Waterdeep are happy to announce the birth of their first child - a son, Hadwin Bradford Darius, who entered the world on the second of Eleint, 1356. Both mother and baby are happy, healthy, and doing well at the family's home even after the extravagant party hosted by the thrilled new father.

Please enjoy a smoke in celebration of the newest Darius!

A young half-elven mage, identifying himself as Vilmar Dall, would ask Joy to pass a message to Oth, asking to meet with him.

[Your best friend]

An unsealed letter is left with Joyce. While addressed to Nathan, Feila states anyone with the House can open it.

Dear Steward Nathan Goldenmane,

A Wulfrik Icewalker was looking for you. He came to the Lewd Lyre to offer the services of himself and the other islanders, primarily in defense against further werewolf attacks. He was under the impression I was your “thrall” -- and as I found this highly amusing, I did not bother to correct him. I do hope my messaging services have proven valuable, my lord.

Forever your loyal thrall,
Feila Epir

Early in the evening, a large group gathered in the Lewd Lyre to prepare for a dangerous outing. Details were scarce but there was mention of Vampires. The following morning, the group trickled back in - exhausted, but overall in good spirits save for the House Steward, who seemed very shaken. His eyes held hopeful determination.

Joel stood at the door to the Darius Estate, searching for the door handle to gain entrance, he failed to find it the first time, cursing under his breathe.
Eventually, he found the handle, opening it and walking into the building.

Taking a small tarry with the garden, smelling it on his way through, he seemed satisfied with today's health of the garden area.

He told Halgard he was going to sit and wait for Teris to awaken, if Halgard saw him, to let Joel know that he's got a Letter waiting for him.

Setting himself down peacefully in the corneriest corner of the Bar Room, waited...

[-Comedian-]

The most curious conundrum was offered to Teris by a caring friend.
The riddle was solved in but a breath . . . Or so it seems it was?

In the days leading to the Feast of the Moon celebration, Luke can be seen in the Wide, purchasing a variety of foodstuffs including various root vegetables. Crates are eventually delivered to the Estate. The bard seems in high spirits and excited for the festival.

During the days when she isn't running about like a madwoman in the Lewd Lyre, Carah is frequently seen darting from place to place about town making final preparations for the Feast of the Moon celebration...

Three parchments are disseminated by Luke throughout the city. The first is left in the Lewd Lyre within Darius Estate, the second at the Elfsong Tavern, and the third taken to the High Hall within the Palace District of Baldur's Gate.

9 Nightal 1356
Status of Fingal Darius within House Darius

I write to correct an error I spoke at High Court on 5 Nightal 1356. While away from public life, events transpired within the mercantile establishment known as House Darius involving my brother Fingal’s departure from our organization which was beyond my knowledge.

Given Fingal’s departure to Waterdeep with his family and to not strain our familial bond, these events were not brought to my immediate attention. The words spoken by Steward Goldenmane regarding my brother’s departure from our organization were and continue to be true.

Long live the Dukes! Long live Baldur’s Gate!

Chaos unfurled at the Lewd Lyre tonight after several balors somehow managed to teleport inside the establishment. A vicious fight ensued, which left most patrons wounded or dead, the bar largely destroyed, and a giant hole in the side of the building where the victorious balor broke its away free and took to the skies.

As a result of the damages, the Lewd Lyre is likely to be closed for the foreseeable future until repairs can be made.
