A large man in chain with copper accenting, a bastard sword, and a tower shield is noted passing the Blackrose fort and moving into the Reaching Woods.

He is seen by any scouts that care to notice moving into the northern portion of the Woods, causing several patrols of the Gnolls to scatter or be slain by the burning, red-colored blade he swings about.

Once he approaches the Eldath shrine, however, his weapon is put away and he spends a fair bit of time clearing debris from the fountain and wayward ivy from the stone.

"I'm sorry I've been a bit slacking of late, Dove. I'll try to be by more often..." is said to the air, and he leaves southwards, once more the gnolls that have gathered to track him for vengeance or curiosity to either flee or die.

It is rumored that a host of soldiers could be seen preparing and supplying themselves for a long march at Fort prominence before marching out accompanied by a few supply wagons and Siege engines. Image
The host would briefly stop in Soubar before push forward and coming to a halt at Boareskyre bridge. It is here they would dig in setting up barricades and entrenching themselves. Holding the bridge in preparation for an advance into the Moors in a hunt of the Brood Mothers.

It is at Soubar that the host is joined by another clad in black war plate the new host working with but separately from the Blackrose setting up a war camp behind the Blackrose's entrenchment line.

a shadowy, female figure wanders around Soubar muttering nonsense to herself, her face is covered and whenever someone tries to engage her she disappears or runs away, some of the things she say make some sense.

Two travelers come close to the Castle Thorn, Stronghold of House Blackrose. The watchful, dutiful Knight seems ever alert while a ragged woman come close to the children rescued, from the recent war against Daemons. She quietly approaches the carteaker to exchange remedies, provide clothes and patched teddybears from the Orphanage of Mercy. For a long time, she examins the very young orphans to treat their dieases, distress and conditions. She leaves herbs and natural remedies with the Caretakers, advicing against the use of magic for very young children and newborn unless there is no other way.

She has been seen spending some time talking with elder children, under the watch of the Tormtar Knight and the Soldiers of House Blackrose. It seems she spent time in the infirmary of Castle Thorn with both of them, adults and youngs, treating small and great injuries. The Children has been given blankets and furnitures, likely to prepare another journey, a new life. Before she left, she asked the Lord Regent to be warned. Tombs and graves are visited, and flowers are left upon the resting place.

The Tormtar Knight follows the Ilmatari Sister like a shadow, letting her do her work with the children and watching her while she visits the Fort.

He does not intefere and keeps interacting with the people of the Fort with professionalism and politeness.

He hardly speaks, his voice can be heard only to greet and to ask if Ashenie needs help with anything.

Sortly after Ashenie's arrival a carriage would be prepared and a few soldiers within the forts garrison would be selected and would prepared themselves to head out.
Three children would be readied for a journey. Once Ashenie and Alex were ready the carriage under a light guard would depart heading towards Thundars ride and alog the river Chointhar.

Rumors begin to drift down from the Sunset mountains of a stirring in Darkhold.

Many of the Zhentilar soldiers seeming to prepare themselves for a journey.
Large amounts of supplies and perhaps strange to some, even building materials are spread out amongst their number for speedy travel.

The hosts intended destination is as of yet unknown but they make ready to march with grim determination.

Their newly returned Lord watching over their preparations in silent appraisal.

A troop of armoured individuals, warded with magic and accompanied by bound summons of fell aspect, march into the Reaching Woods under the banners of Bane.

There they bring death to any gnolls they encounter, before withdrawing after some time in the direction of Soubar. They take with them, however, a captive.

a lone figure walks down the tradeway and making his way through points of interest. Clad in rich deep green with crimson trim. A hood pulled over his head to fend off the sun or it’s more common liquid sunshine counterpart Rain.

He stops at Boareskyr Bridge where he’d check for signs of the Snake Amen or the remnants of Orkus’ demon forces for the few innocent and good people that could still be trapped in the den of wickedness and greed that is Soubar.

He’d then continue as usual to check Eldath’s shrine for the stain of Daehrow incursions. Then continued south making a big loop towards the Greenest and the emerald sea of grass of the green fields.

Those paying attention to tracks around the forests would be able to discern delicate pattern painting itself on canvas of forest litter. A confident, subtle step of bare feat. Joyful, lightly chaotic step accompanied by strong step of a wolf paw. Barely visible step precisely treaded through shadows of the forest. Those tracks may seem left in random places to some. Those with enough wit to notice and connect them would see a path between Cloakwood, Sharp Teeth, Reaching Woods, Forest of Wyrms and Misty Forest.

In the hills of Thundar's Ride near a top what may have been an old burial ground, the Hoarite Priest moves some brush aside to open the small alcove. He stands afore it for a time and turned his opalescent eye to look over the area around him. He eyed the bugbears roaming the roads and greenery and any that came near he took his spear and ran them through, kicking their bodies down the hill. He turned back towards the alcove and began removing stone he had taken from the Old Chapel near Beregost and began to construct a shrine. With the pieces in place he would pull a two faced coin from a pouch and fit it into the shrine. The Priest stepped back and knelt down with his tower shield resting on his knee, the butt of the spear flat against the ground as he bowed his head.

"I ask that you, O Lord of Three Thunders, hear the prayers of your Faithful offered here. Place blessing upon this shrine and let it be known to those who seek you and it in this treacherous territory be worthy of you. That their prayers of vengeance or those that fear your vengeance be brought here, so that I can continue to embolden your faith."
