The Halls of Inner Light Presents:
A Litany on the Dogma of Lady Firehair

I, Heartwarder Alyssia Leonhart, High Lady of the Halls of Inner Light, invite those of curious minds and wandering hearts of the Gate and the Sword Coast to come to a educational litany on the Dogma of the Princess of Passion. It will be a deep dive into the faith and duties of Sunites, what Lady Firehair asks of us, and what we can provide to the city though our faith and dedication to Lady Firehair. All those welcome within the city may come to the Halls of Inner Light Prayer Hall and become educated on the finer points of the Sunite Faith. It will be held on the 21st of Eleasis, 1357 in the afternoon.

Afterwords, food and drink will be served in the Heartfire Tavern and questions about the service will be fielded to answer any questions about the faith.

I look forward to seeing you there,

Heartwarder Alyssia Leonhart
High Lady of the Halls of Inner Light

At the Radiant House charter house an Emerald Scout could be seen making his way in the Side Gate nodding to the Paladin on Watch at the courtyard. He carried with him several field sketched maps in their perspective map cases.

The forge’s smokestack was bellowing out a steady dark grey plumes or smoke from the preparations to weapons, equipment and support equipments. In the horse pen a Squire tended to the horseshoes of the warhorses and the pack horses. In the courtyard several field tents had been set up to air out and to make sure they where in good working conditions.

He made his way into the keep and headed bellow to speak with the Blacksmith putting an order for a few crates of razor tipped broad-heads for his arrows.

A big illegal shipment was confiscated on the Wyrm's Crossing!

A human man and 2 shapeshifters polymorphed into horses were apprehended on the border. A pletora of monstrous statues was withdrawn from their saddles. One of the shapeshifters, a scarred sun elf, was most unhappy with the incident. He demanded his collection back from the local law enforcement, but didn't have any positive response.

Derik Ranloss has been a semi-conspicuous presence at the tree-grown gazebo north of the City of late. He has been seen standing near or in it, staring or watching a few spots here and there around it.

When approached while there, he says little and smiles less.

Parchments displaying a rose and blade are placed in various places around the gate.

Whether by coincidence or deliberate action, the conversation between a red-haired tiefling and a moon elven archer in the Eastern Farmlands yesterday seems to be the last time the tiefling is seen around these parts. The moon elf has reportedly left the region in the intervening period; the tiefling's fate and whereabouts are harder to pin down, as she has demonstrated a considerable proclivity for shapeshifting over the past several days.

If she still wanders the Sword Coast, she is either staying away from civilization, or no longer inhabiting her own body... or perhaps both.

High Lady Alyssia Leonhart and Lady Netanya would be witnessed having a cordial discussion on the fate of the lavish greenspace in the Palace District. Both would come to an amicable compromise on the fate of the land parcel which is to host the future Guild Hall for House Divine and see improvements to the greenspace.

As he traveled to the Bladestone Foundation, Derik Ranloss happened upon a gnoll raiding party that had hit a caravan near the school.

Needless to say, he was... unhappy.

And the raiding party was shortly very dead...

Fenix could be seen leaving his ship to head to the Flaming Fist Castle within the docks, those who happen to be nearby on his journey through the docks might just notice the somewhat irate mutterings of the newly ennobled Lord.

At the Flaming Fist HQ, an elven male can be seen asking questions regarding the specifics of those bounties. Whether they are wanted dead or live and if there is a bonus for taking all three bounties.
