GANGS OF BALDUR'S GATE
Shadows lurched across the docks district, armed with chains, knives, spells, and ill intent as they moved on their rivals.
A contingent of flaming fist troops in full riot gear fell upon them right as the two groups prepared to come to blows. Fist Bruisers with large clubs and heavy doses of excessive force subdued the two factions, Dragging them off the streets and and to the Fist dungeon.
As dawn rose, heralds were already spinning tales of the hard handed measure the Flaming Fist have been employing to clean up the streets of Baldurs Gate. Moral in the city is high, and the duke's get the first good press they have in a while.

Ippensheir
Banners are strung, casks of ale and mead are stacked high, flagons are filled, mirth is shared. It is the Ippensheir, a 12-day festival of Gond where the faithful celebrate the boons of the Wonderbringer.
Several Gondar arrive in Baldur's Gate to peruse the wonders of the Temple Museum. Flagons are filled, and special blessings are prepared for the faithful.
Rumors start to circulate that the Faithful of Gond Observed a Miracle, and the soldier Palantir Wyrmblade underwent a conversion, becoming a servant of Gond and receiving a boon of the Wonderbringer..

Another vicious murder has been discovered in Baldur's Gate. This time it appears a son of a merchant house was killed on his way home from a night of drinking. After stopping behind the Hall of wonders to relive himself, he was cut crudely and viciously from behind.

Another horrific murder in Baldur's Gate. This time a young woman in the harbor District was slain. However this time it seems the victim had a chance to fight back, leaving the fist with some valuable clues.

An accused Banite warlock and Zhentarim Spy was brought to the Flaming Fist Headquarters by brother Arkaine halfOrken of the Radiant Heart. While he was held in prison awaiting trial, word of a zhent spy's capture circulated through the city and surrounding lands.
He was tried under the auspices of Tyr in the Flaming Fist Headquarters. Accusations where made, the crowd was heated, threats were made, and decapitated hin heads bloodied the ground before the court...
While the details of the trial were not released, criers quickly spread word that the Zhent spy was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was promptly hanged from the gallows outside the Flaming Fist compound.

Disturbing reports continue to trickle north into Balduran lands of the town of Beregost's continued slide into rampant crime and a surge in violent activity following Amn's large-scale withdrawal of most of its armed forces to go and reinforce the southern regions of the country's borders. The Temple of Lathander reportedly has been condemning the violence and criminal activity that is quickly becoming an everyday fact of life for the people of Beregost, and last night their protests were apparently answered when an unknown vandal defaced one of the Temple's walls with a crude depiction of a skull encircled in teardrops, the symbol of Bhaal, painted in what looked to be blood.
The temple's acolytes quickly worked to scrub it away once it was discovered at daybreak, but by then word of the dark deed had already begun to circulate through the town. Strangely enough, the act seems to be met with almost a sense of indifference by the weary townsfolk, who seem to have more pressing matters on their minds - such as guarding their coin purses from pickpockets as they traverse the marketplace - than some vile scribbling on a wall.

Bently apparently tired of the fighting and blocking of the doors to his inn showed off a golem to the people gathered in front. He gave a angry warning to anyone that cost his business coin.

Alarms sound from the Lord's Alliance building near the docks. Guards are posted at every exit from the Harbor district for several hours.

A man in purple has been seen as of late around the cloakwood mines. A strange rumor holds that he has a third eye.

Rumors tell tale of swirling dark clouds appearing at night, accompanied by shrill, hollow laughter. Those wise enough to steer clear of these clouds experience lingering sensations of being watched. Those who arn't as wise are rarely seen again. Regardless, in the areas around these clouds dark shapes drift between the long shadows searching for something or someone.

Rumor has it that Bentley Mirrorshade, proprietor of the Friendly Arm Inn, is considering doubling his guards and pushing their watch further out to the road that lines his walled hamlet.
Bentley has been grumbling to his patrons—and his wife, an unfortunate recipient of his complaints—about how business inside the hamlet, and especially inside the Inn itself, is declining in the wake of numerous violent instances upon the Tradeway, and near the entrance to his friendly inn.
He has been seen talking to the small Glittergold statue that sits above the back bar, seeking wisdom, of how best to deal with these disturbing times.

Four Feasts
Patrons of nature and those who hold the seasons in reverence celebrate the Four Feasts this day. A Priest of Gwaeron Windstrom organizes a feast on the grounds in the FAI. Bently jumps on the opportunity to entreat his patrons.
Deep in the forest of sharp tooth, a Priestess of Mielikki starts a bonfire and breaks into wild dance around it. The wood speaks as it cautiously encroaches to partake.

Rumors come of a warning of Beholder cultists spread around the sword coast as an army grows deep under the earth. A three eyed man offered to bring a group to help stop the cultis but was quickly turned away and denied by the folk around the fire in front of the Friendly Arms inn. There actions will not be without consequence.

Rumor has it late at night Ulraunt Keeper of the Tomes of Candlekeep can be seen walking the walls of the keep and staring out at the sea before returning to his work. Rumor has it this is the first time in months he has been seen outside his office.
