Rumors of Greenest & The Uldoon Trail

[MasterSilke]

The modest blufftop shrine dedicated to Beshaba overlooking the Uldoon Trail has been shut tight for extensive hours, the door seemingly barred from within and no soul seen coming or going. Those approaching the shrine, driven either by curiosity or desire to pay homage, may catch indecipherable murmurs or faint echoes of chanting within the structure. Perhaps a devout is simply deep in one of Lady Doom’s more elaborate offerings, or perhaps something more foreboding is at play.

Rumor has it a few of the cattle of Greenest went missing, and some dead deer were found, all killed not for food, as they weren't eaten.

Town folks speak of two members of the Myradon Vindicators, a druid and a mage, who investigated the issue and found a stray pack of worgs to be the culprits.

Judging from word in town, the worgs are dead and the town folks and temple of Chauntea look a bit more favorably to the Vindicators.

Northern Trouble



The Vindicators might have been spotted even further north, this time South to South-West of Berdusk. Their entourage encountering a resistance of Goblins, and even Orcs that had sprung from seemingly nowhere. Oddly enough they were later seen leaving a lonely house situated upon a hill, and completely demolishing the building behind them.

Those in the know would be aware that post this expedition many talented individuals were gathered in Fort Myradon to perform a ritual to remove the cursed Divine Conversion of the Black Sun cult upon some members of the Myradon Vindicators. What they had encountered in the building to have caused such is anyones guess.

Late in the hours of a mild spring night, the sparse nocturnal traffic along the Uldoon Trail may notice a break in the typical serenity by a ruckus emanating from the Beshaban shrine erected upon the bluffs overlooking the road. Any would-be pilgrims and travelers approaching the site with intent to pay homage and tribute would likely hear guttural shouts echoing within and accompanied by harsh clangs of metal and shattering glass. Even the most devout would likely deem it wise to postpone their offerings to the Maid of Misrule until another evening.

The morning of the 14th of Mirtul saw quite a lot of lively chattering in the campfire of Greenest, as a pair of elven twins, seeking respite from a night of adventuring in the nearby wilderness, happened to meet with Archon Yuri and another wanderer. The two elves, having already been made aware of his appearance during past conversations, were eager to speak with him, and inquire about his status, his company, and the lands around them.
Topics of conversation expanded as more people arrived, including notably the newly wed retainers of House Marshall, the Dunns, who were seeking the Archon for some other business of importance.
The bright chatting continued for a long stretch, until a mysterious, masked figure walked in and began staring at the group without saying a word. No long after, the various people gathered began to trickle away, including the twins, who, having rested, resumed their trek into a nearby forest.

The pair of elven twins was seen teleporting in to Greenest on the 7th. Though the usually stop by the town only for a brief rest whenever traveling through the Uldoon Trail, this time they remained by the campfire throughout most of the day, having made the trip to have a chat with the leader of the Myradon Vindicators, the Archon Yuri. Given the urgency of the news, the primary subject of their conversation ended up being the impending attack on the village of River's End, whose defense was being championed by the Archon.

To the initial questions, providing context to the situation, followed a discussion over the potential ways in which to better provide help in preparation for the enemy assault. As time passed, more and more people arrived, several already known to the pair, others less so. As the sun set, people finally began to split into smaller group, and later leave, either on foot, by caravan, or by magic. Not long after the Archon himself decided to retire for the night, the two Elves said their goodbyes to the remaining guests and teleported away. Not long after, they were spotted in the Shrine of Suffering, in Baldur's Gate, inquiring about healing supplies.
