Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate

A man in blue cloth leaves a shop of the calligrapher, a somewhat largish parchment held in his hands, up high, as he admires what is written upon it, standing outside the doorway to the shop, in the afternoon light of a near Mid-Summers Day.
Any observing this man in blue cloth would easily determine he just now collected an order of a parchment drafted with a statement, for some...purpose. And the man in blue cloth is standing there, making sure, once again, his words given in person, verbally, have been written in the same manner, but by the hand of another, not his own.
Satisfied, the man in blue, walks with intention to the Eastern District plaza and market, near the Elfsong Tavern, particularly, where the public billboard of notices and lists, have been drafted and posted. In this area of the Gate, many citizens and merchants would easily recognize the man in blue cloth as Dhavel the Wayfarer, who, for the last weeks, has been peddling blessed water opals in his spoken-for faith.
At the public billboard, Dhavel the Wayfarer post the parchment, and takes a step back, keenly studying the placement, until again, satisfied, it will hang well and receive...notice.
Soon, he crosses the open area near the performer, the fountain, and returns to a well worn keg stationed near the market stalls, where he has for some time, utilized in gaining support-in-form-of-donation-exchange-for-goods, for his...overture.
The parchment itself, hangs well fastened to the board. Upon its face, is written this:
\\Subject: Overture for Honoring the Water Lord, Istishia

- To the Observer of Faith and Those with Homage in the Moment~
Those that follow the path, that pay homage to the Water Lord Istishia and seek to share the wisdom in the interconnection and cyclical nature of existence of all beings—as must be told, the path to purification found in the mystery and wisdom of the God-King of Water. What is learned and what is given, in this faith, is the greatest of all knowledge...that the cycles of life are mirrored by the cycles of fate, and that we all shall pay the price or reap the reward, by the actions of our past...and our future.
Essential truths are embodied in water itself...and thus, it is the desire of faithful to see a Shrine erected in homage to Istishia, here, within the walls of the city Baldur's Gate. With symbol such as a shrine for which to give and attend, many blessing in return will be delivered to all that reside in this city.
To manifest, the rulers of this city-state require patronage, both in coin and in name, to bolster the claim that what is for want, may be constructed, and used.
So it is I, Dhavel, known by my faith as the Wayfarer, present this overture to all minds, asking for either donation or name, in support. Whether homage to the Water Lord be casual or held in the highest regard, let your support take the easiest course.
Collected, the natural force of response will determine the next path, the flow to resolution.
