Rumours abound in Baldurs Gate attract many listeners... Incidents with mysterious stabbings, shadows heard in other lands, a curious figure with Antlers seen by a child. As such rumours gather, so do others with interest.

Between his regular patrols along the Eastern Chionthar and duties of a Squire. Valduil Feralen of the Radiant Heart has taken to the waterfront areas of the Baldurs Gate Harbour to search for Calishite Sailors to ask for news of their lands. In recent days dressed in a rather drab attire and his usual hood he would travel between the Taverns and ask little questions of those willing to speak, often alongside a bought Ale to loosen their tongue. If approached whilst having a quiet Mead in one of the numerous drinking halls, he would respond kindly and offer to buy the other a drink to hear of their own woes and Tales.

Caravans owned by House Darius begin to be loaded with building materials and tools from the Warehouse in the city. With a group of guards in escort, the Caravans make their way to the building site to unload and set up a basic encampment for laborers. The men recently employed by the House in temporary fashion for the famed vessel retrofitting project are offered additional time on their contract to assist with labor for this new, joint venture. A towering half-elven woman is observed overseeing the project as well as coordinating with the Radiant Heart about locations for the encampments, where to place building materials, and supplies needed for the next shipment. She is also seen occasionally joining in on patrols when no other work has her focus.

In the early evening, a red-garbed man with a fur mantle could be seen with a serious expression marching to the Flaming Fist Headquarters. He is received as though he is expected for whatever meeting occurs. Afterwards, the man could be seen in the outer city, the Northern farmlands, and along the river towards Ulgoth's Beard. Rumor has it he was making inquiries about properties and real estate, with a particular focus on smaller homes.

A green haired druid can be seen making his way into the city with a stack of parchment underneath his arm. He heads straight to the Darius Estate. He does not stay long, but when he emerges, the stack of parchment is no longer seen. He leaves the city with a brisk walk, as if he doesn't want to spend more time than necessary inside the walls.

Osric Vale and Aaron Lyonaler are seen entering the Palace after receiving a summons from the Dukes. The Grand Narlhelm lead the two in to a closed meeting that lasts a candlemark and a half.

The two exit the Palace holding a quick, quiet discussion before separating to see to business.

The Grand Knight of the Order of the Radiant Heart can be seen exiting the Keep Courtyard riding upon his silver haired mount, Rook. The Knight leads a company of Radiant Heart soldiers thirty in total south to the Bridge, then east along the river. The company marches in a two sharp lines, a wagon of supplies following behind. They stop upon the point of the river where the new bridge is to be constructed. Camp is set up next to the materials being staged there, near the road leading to Fort Triel. Are they there for extra protection, or otherwise? The soldiers are not talkative about their assignment.

Quit and withdrawn as the Knights depart from the city, the Ilmatari watch them in silence. The heavy march beats the rolling fog of the city towards the inner land, the soldier soon to become a trail of steel ink upon the horizon. Hushed words are lost in the mist, a silent and caring sound. Sister Ashenie holds her cracked locket dearly against her heart, until the military-like procession cannot be seen anymore. She did not try to look upon faces, nor to talk as they passed. Her eyes closed for a while, she then retuns to the Orphanage where children await.

The lord aspirant of House Vale is recently seen patrolling the streets of the city during evenings and early hours of the morning. Dark circles become a frequent fixture on his face for the effort in the days that follow, but the weariness does not soon ebb at his resolve. If asked, he would explain he is hoping to aid in apprehending the perpetrators of several child kidnappings, and he would ask friendly faces of virtue and compassion to aid in the effort.

The Ilmatari Guardian could be seen regularly at early evening as a presence outside the Orphanage. He assisted with getting the children inside, waving to them and being a visible, constant presence they could see. After dark, he could not be seen, but held a stealthy vigil and patrols throughout the streets of the city.

In the morning, he could be seen moving towards the Flaming Fist compound in the harbor after giving the staff at the Orphanage their morning greetings and preparing a meal for them.

Doan can be seen nailing posters where he can and is allowed


The drawings are very crude and the shape of a deer barely noticeable



"Wanted.. a deer beset to commit crimes. He can be seen smoking cigars, drinking booze and talking. If a hunter can trap the deer and send word to me at Warriors' Rest or on the BG bulletin I will pay with a nice star saphire"

House Divine's Matron would be seen entering Seven Suns Mercantile to speak with their resident seamstress. However the topic wasn't anything related to exotic fabrics or the latest Waterdavian fashion line (...which, by the way, have regrettably betrayed expectations this season).

Doan walking with great purpose visited to local butcher today, and then immediately to an artist and waits a couple of hours and walks out with a stack or posters.
Upon leaving Doan drinking from a flask walks around to all his previous posters and tears them down and replaces them with no words or explanation.
