A fight brokeout in the Santuary between Lightcarrier Trandafir and a local merchant. Shortly afterwards a notice was displayed in both churches.

The blacksmith known as Van Zandt has been banned from both sanctuaries for being caught stealing a corpse and fighting with a Lightcarrier.

A young woman donned in steel scale with golden trim is recently found praying each morning among the pews of the sanctuary. A shield nearly half her size covering her back bearing the symbol of a newly rising sun painted upon it. There is distress and anguish on her soft features as she prays, yet when among her companions she continues to spread the word of her Lord of Morning while seeking answers herself in this new world.

  Recently, a woman dressed in morninglordian robes, which some do recognize as the horned lightcarrier Dawnseeker, is seen studying both new and old reports, spending hours upon hours reading and taking notes. She may sometimes be found fallen asleep amongst the dossiers, her quill still in her left hand.

Numerous barovians come to the temple in hopes to find shelter and food. The temple is filling up with families. A thin looking follower of the Dawn gives food to the children, telling them that the winter will be hard, but they can survive.

Decebal Cuza has once again came and delivered a load of food to the families within the temple, making sure to stress to the families to share the food with others, and to ration it out as much as possible

As night fell a pitic in pink, a quiet tanned woman named Ja'da and a man in full armor calling himself Bajrnarr arrived at the Morninglord soup kitchen in the slums.

They came under cover of darkness to avoid causing a riot and brought a staggering amount of provisions. Enough venison to feed over 500 people, 150 pounds of fish and even some gear to equip a couple of the locals so they may go out and hunt for their families. The gear consisted of sturdy winter boots made from worg fur, some longbows and bear grease to protect the would-be hunters from the elements.

They handed out food to the peasants and their children that stayed the night and beer and ale flowed freely to any of the men who wished to forget their sorrows for a short while. Tales traded included the recent execution of a sun worshiper and the trio being harried by a Wachter border agent.

Unbeknownst to the locals all of the food was blessed and purified by a Druidess named Enya before it was delivered to assure that none of it was poisoned.

[Word spreads that the Vallaki Garda have confiscated all the food resting in the Sanctuary of the Eternal Dawn! Father Lucaciu has been forced to turn away those wanting food, instead urging people to visit the hospice in the slums, established by Toret Bryne and presently manned by Tali Ubaid. Many of the downtrodden decide to do just this...]

The Vicar was seen thanking  the Lightcarriers for their service. He was not wearing his robes. He had a grave look on his face and his voice was filled with sadness. He then left the temple.

Within the middle of the hallway of the second floor a chair lay pushed over. Above a man adorning the robes of a Morninglordian priest hung from a noose; the man being Oristesen, a priest commonly seen in the outskirts.

A hooded, elderly appearing man with a walking stick has been seen leaving the Sanctuary. Upon the second floor a bouquet of flowers, along with a couple of coins was left where Oristesen had been found.

A guardsman carries in a boy with a broken ankle; Ilie delivers a sermon after healing the boy, praising the dutiful service and kindness of the Vallaki garda. In the coming days, he repeats this sermon, particularly touting the virtues of that one nameless garda who asked no reward but that which he gained spiritually. A sense of trust rises within the witnesses to these sermons, and the village's unity bolsters as well, warming as the summer weather does.

*a lively elf, charismatic elf dressed in the dawn pink robes of the Morninglord removes the antagonizing flier left outside the Sanctuary.  Word among Vallaki's homeless spreads that the short haired elf has ensured that a shipment of simple cloaks have been offered out of the sanctuary, in preparation to ward of the coming winters cold for those without a roof over their heads*

late in the evening, followers of the Morninglord faith quietly filed out of the sanctuary and headed to Twitter homes. Joy filled the air as news of a devout layman she'd his white robes and proudly donned the rose colored robes in exuberance. The ceremony was one of peace and joy. It was a day to celebrate the accomplishments of the man called Ilu Asu.

   The sanctuary fill with merriment all through the night. The Morninglordians and those that sheltered with them enjoyed some relaxation. Spirits were high and fun was had by all.

[Dawnbringer Loredana Vaduva was seen limping towards the Sanctuary early one morning after her prayers. It is said that she has locked herself away in her chambers, with little reason as to why. It would be days before she would finally be seen again.]

A brown-coated, hooded man has been seen turning away blatant criminals attempting to find impunity after their crimes. Some willing go, others are dealt with more aggressively.

[A tall outlander man with deeply red hair was seen covered in blood and holding his face while screaming and stumbling around the city, crawling free from the sewers. His blood trial had him staggering from the sewers in the Slums, to the citadel, where the bell chain is still covered in blood, and stumbling about more. Eventually, dragged by a robed figure into the temple. Those who caught a glimpse of the man's face were sent into screams of terror, and rumors quickly froth about a man without a face.]

A young Light Carrier makes his return from the Village of Barovia, from his usual post at The Sanctuary of Blessed Succor. He bears solemn news, speaking quietly with both Mother Lizuca and Father Ilie about something that can only be described as troublesome. After receiving the comfort of their words, he departs once more back to the Village.

Long into the night do the candles of the Sanctuary of the Coming Dawn burn as Vicar Loredana Vaduva and her faithful Light Carrier, Elenuta Dragomir work to ease the suffering of the recent victims of the plague sweeping the countryside. At their side is Alin Arcos, a recent convert and between the three of them they see that the sick are given food, water and warmth as inevitably more come swarming in.

That first night is long and rest comes much after the dawn. After a short sleep, Alin awakes and begins anew at feeding, tending and nurturing the patients within the temple. He tires visibly as the day progresses, and late in the afternoon those he tends notice him develop an achingly familiar cough. He finds rest fitful that night awaking several hours later in a cold sweat, his cough, dry but powerful, now seeming to involving his entire body at once.

A new figure enters the Sanctuary and goes to speak with some of the Light Carriers, introducing himself simply as Johnan. Despite having graying hair and a pleasant smile, most gathered would be probably skeptical of his exposed upper body, along with tattoos seeming mystical. Although he doesn't get any clear answer as to the whereabouts of the local Vicar, he'd still offer hesitant help in tending the sick. Not seeming too bothered by the coughs and sniffles, he'd bring water, food and even offer to check some for infections. He would even offer to teach the locals a way to reduce the pain temporarily: meditation, be it while seated or laying down for those too tired.

The muscled figure of the Dawnspear could be seen hunched over the sizeable oak desk, pouring over reports and scrolls in a controlled, yet speedy manner. He appeared to have been at this throughout the night, moving from report to report, murmuring to himself as he did so.
