Word spreads from trader to trader about a bardess that played for the Lord of Fort Prominence within its courtyard in exchange for an escort south to Ducal lands.
The lively tune could be heard by many travelers and merchants making their way through. "Little bird" They would say was the song she played.

A gathering of wagon could be seen as workers filled them with provisions and supplies. Soldiers could be seen amassing and preparing to move out along side the the Caravan though it was more then the usual caravan Guard. Onlookers could count around thirty preparing themselves to head out. Rumors have it that they made for The Outpost in Thundars Ride.

In recent days Soldiers could be seen assisting the rangers in hunting. Wagon loads of dead wolves could be seen entering Fort prominence gates with only the bare bones leaving to be buried some distance away from the fort. Rumor has it they are filling up their winter stores with meat and pelts though ...other rumors say a huge order is being filled set to be delivered in the coming days.

It is rumored that a heavily loaded Caravan could be seen pulling out of Fort Prominence headed in the direction of Thundars ride under the guard of Mercenaries and accompanies by a few soldiers. Rumors say it was headed towards Baldurs gate.

A slim-looking man with greying hair covered by a black, buckle adorned hat was seen appearing out of nowhere in the middle of a crossroad outside Fort Prominence. With a few arcane words chanted and a rather rude gesture of hand, he had scared the nearby wolves away before heading towards the gates. The Hatter held a brief exchange with one of the guards before he chose to leave a sealed envelope with the man.
"Please, make sure this letter lands in Ser Thistle's hand next you see him."
He said before making his way back to the crossroad, pulling an illusion of invisibility over himself as he walked past horrified canines.

Hunters and soldiers are once again seen heading out of Fort Prominence: Their target is the abundance of wolves that roam the area. Rumors have it they aim to fill their winter store even more then they already have. Sure wolf meat isn't the best around but for these Northerners it has been a staple for years.

The dawn of a new day arrived in Fort Prominence, in the early morning the new High Mashall Hallowdant began to gather the troops.
Few words seem to have been spent regarding his presentation, thus moving on to the facts and postponing longer and deeper words to a later date.
Armed with a pen and inkwell, he began to observe the troops, taking note of equipment, their number and the defenses in place during the various expeditions and patrols.
For a long time he paused to look at their trainings, giving some advice to those occupying the front line as well as to the arcanists supporting their back.
It seems that at his own expense he provided vials of alchemical fire to some chosen soldiers, giving some advice on use in case of troll's attacks.
''As you surely know, the protection of yourself is due to many factors, but first of all, to the knowledge and prevention that you have before even traveling on unsafe roads.
Trolls are stupid but deadly creatures, with their leathery skin capable of regenerating its own wounds.
Fire or acid are capable of killing them permanently and these vials will be your salvation in case you encounter any.
The strategy in use is essential, these vials can explode and injure your companions, this should not be considered, but it will be enough for one of you to pour this liquid on your blade.
For a few moments the fire will surround your blade, giving you a way to give the fatal blow to these vile creatures, wounding them to death.''

For a few candle marks the Gates to Fort Prominence remained shut to all travelers barred by heavily armed Soldiers.
After a length of time the gates once again would come open providing a haven for all the weary travelers and caravans to stop to rest and resupply.

Today seems to have been a long day, those present saw the High Marshal teleport to the Fort Prominence accompanied by a tiefling and two women, along with a wounded and tied drow.
The drow himself was put in prison, some screams were heard outside the castle, and a lengthy interrogation was said to have taken place.
Along with the High Marshal were the infamous drow Urfindir, the Dread Sister Marietta, Ashenie and a tiefling named Shadow.
Later, during the interrogation, the Lord of Fort Prominence Amos Thistle and a man named Bob, Marietta's husband and member of the Black Abbey, arrived.
The drow is currently said to be under surveillance waiting a process under Northern laws, the woman named Ashenie has finally been allowed to heal the wounded drow, handcuffed and stripped of his belongings.
((if there is any DM available to handle it today it would be appreciated, as there is the use of NPCs as Mag and discuss the outcome approved by Urfindir, which I do not spoil))

Some rumors seem to be rushing in the northern areas, many members of the Northern Barony gathered at Fort Prominence to issue the verdict on the life of the well known drow raider Urfindir.
There seems to have been a fairly long interrogation, where the drow has not lost his arrogance and sharp tongue.
During the process there were:
- Lord of Fort Prominence Amos Thistle, the High Marshal Galliard Hallowdant and the soldier Nicola Thistle of the Order of the Blackrose
- Vigilator Barristan Schulltze and the Darksister Marietta Thairo of the Black Abbey
- The Witch Tarina, representative of the Zentharim and Darkhold
- Hanner Blackrose, although no longer a member of the Order of the Blackrose
- The hunter Shadow, the one who fought Urfindir at Boareskyr Bridge
- Sister Ashenie of Ilmater, the one who, the drow Urfindir, tried to kidnap
The Northern Barony members: Amos Thistle, Barristan Schulltze, Tarina and Hanner Blackrose expressed an unanimous vote, death.
The notorious Urfindir guilty of:
banditry, murder, kidnapping, disruption of trade,
murder of some Order of the Blackrose and Zentharim patrols, threats to Tarina member of Northern Barony.
The execution was issued the same day by Hanner Blackrose, inside the cell where the drow was imprisoned and the drow's body was buried outside Fort Prominence by Ashenie.

In the last few hours, training with the Blackrose soldiers seems to have intensified.
After completing some tactical strategies with the new recruits as well, the High Marshal Galliard Hallowdant simulated a siege by bringing select troops to nearby Troll's Claws.
The selected soldiers who were present saw the High Marshal magically disappear as they continue to advance according to the orders received.
Shortly before the clash with a group of trolls, a beam of light and white flames enveloped and burned some of them, the Marshal seemed to be in the center of the beam, giving the attack signal.
Upon returning to Fort Prominence, notes were given to some Blackrose wizards and clerics,
a clear signal of a mission and new orders.

A force of laborers would venture out of Fort Prominence with sledgehammer and picks in hand accompanied by a small escort of armed guards as they would heading for the ruins of the old church a ways across the tradeways east.
All day long they would hammer and pick away at the old chuch tearing it down.
This would go on for the next couple weeks as they clear the stone repurposing it for other uses until the old ruin was all but gone.
