Magic disrupts the peace of the camp; another breath, made to be the last, forced within that heavy air, another corpse created and carted away- this time a gnome.

[Vishnadd! Word spreads of a woman having slain a man of Vistani blood, one who allegedly attempted to steal a ring from a woman she was working for -- the raunie, Madame Vadoma, has offered the reward of either knowledge or great riches to the individual or group of individuals who see bloody vengeance carried out upon the butchers responsible.]

[A blonde-haired woman was seen shackled to a pole near where the caravans arrive and depart by travelers passing through, her body covered in fresh cuts, tears, and welts. Deeper within the encampment, the Vistani can be seen celebrating, with a fair bit of dancing, drinking, and merriment to be had.]

Chaos erupted this afternoon in the outskirts of the Vistani camp within the mists.

A large fiend appeared before a crowd, singling out a balding man in a red coat. After a verbal altercation, a fight broke out against the beast-- and what followed, was stranger still. The mists thickened, muffling the cries of soldiers and creatures as they fought for their lives.

When the mist settled, the man in red stood abreast of a gathering of mercenaries and travelers who had braved and survived the onslaught. As they spoke, a crimson haze gathered around him. Waves of blood and bone sprouted like fingers from this new mist, surrounding him and retreating again like a gruesome tide. After heated words were exchanged, it's said that the man in the red coat lifted a pistol to his head, and shot himself dead.

There was an eerie purpose behind the man's last moments-- a distressing confidence in his actions, even as he took his own life. Was it the final words of a mad fool? Or was it something... far more sinister? Was it the truth?

Word travels quickly  from mouth to mouth of a fight, primarily amongst the Vistani, and secondly to the several adventurous groups that often times stop by the camp.

The fight involving two known figures amongst the outlanders. The assailant, was rumoured to be a well known paladin of Helm that was misted years ago, a senior member of the Kinship who made his unwavering and zealous will to repel evil a banner to his long-lived misty career. The defender was a towering knight clad in a gloomy spiked black armour, the man's affiliation were clear by the notorious symbolism displayed on the fine cloak, a Black Hand.

The reason of the fight remains unclear, however the two were last seen in a heated bickering concerning religion, until the paladin bravely naked his sword of the hilt and charged without second thought the black bahamut, who promptly responded with steel.

The fight lasted a matter of minutes, before the righterous paladin fell before his opponement, exhausted, and was knocked out inconcious by the rival.
The crowd watched the fight in frozen silence as the paladin's faith laid into the other man's hands, who declared a certain 'Black Lord' to be merciful that day, and so decided not to spoil the holy man's corpse. The victorious man didn't seem to sustain any heavy injury after the wrestle, and silently marched off the camp with a statuesque demanour, with the ominous Black Hand insigna watching over the defeated paladin and the gathered crowd.

An event that is indeed going to be on the mouth of everyone as for the first time a member of the Hand was publicy assaulted, though, with poor results.

The Mist Camp was the scene of multiple heated arguments in the last few days. Rumors would quickly spread of a fight happening in the camp, but who was involved, and what happened, is anyone’s guess.

It becomes rumored, perhaps known, among some, that should a warrior seek to become a true master of their chosen weapon, that they may find a master to instruct them, by name of Ossur Fezim, in the land of Hazlan.


//This is intended to help give players seeking training for the prc a possible instructor :)

A small mournful looking shrine sits peacefully at the precipice of the mists. Boquet's of blue, red, yellow flowers adorn the shallow shores of the pond in the Mist Camp. A small, etched wooden cat toy sits in the middle of it all, and a note, written with a somber hand.

Within the corners of the sleeping tent, a bald, bearded man in gaudy green and brown, sleeveless armor can be seen sometimes curled up, scratching at his left arm as he mutters various ramblings to himself. Any attempts at intrusion are met with a simple “Go away,” though his expression gives off an opposite demand.

A pallid, bald, bearded man in sleeveless, vibrant green armor can be seen and heard playing the guitar around camp -- focusing on it as he composes what appears to be parts of similar or even the same songs. Sometimes he hums, sometimes he strings together entire words in a melodic, southern drawl way of speaking, that's almost singing. Sometimes he glances by "the rock" with a look of disappointment on his face, and it instills in him this visible passion in attention to what he's doing. The only word that is common in his mutterings which *can* be heard and fully understood, is one:


"Departure."

A company of five people step off the wagon as it trundles into the camp, a man wearing the white and red of the Knights Templar among them. After exchanging a few words, the Templar excuses himself to kneel beside the pool of water. He strips off his helmet, revealing pale white skin and coal-black hair.

As he clasps his trembling hands in front of him and furrows his brow in prayer, something strikes the water before him. Was it dew dripping from a tree overhead, or a teardrop?

[The man known as Kesimir enters the Mist Camp, sitting down on one of the usual benches, clutching and looking down at a Lily of Eternal Slumber. He gives some open speech to some people around it, before entering into the tent, chiding a black-and-yellow ghost of Dread, and laying down with the flower held in close like it's the last good sleep he'll ever get. But, all the while... he seems focused. Maybe even... content.]

A small crowd gather on top of the duel hill in the Mist Camp to assist to a duel..? No... A ritual..?

Marph of the Hospitallers of Vallaki is the rumored owner of the scroll that was auctioned at the latest Harebell event, the one that supposedly would allow an outlander to go home again, tearing the Mists apart.

After he reads from a comically large and flimsy vellum parchment, a portal opens in front of him, to the shock of those present. Cities from another place can be seen, cities that Marph recognizes as his country's. At last, the image stops in front of a farm, his own home: thus he jumps in the portal, calling for his mom and dad, as the portal closes behind him.

Those in the Mist camp are left arguing whether it's true after all that someone has really managed to leave the Mists for the first time.

Marph - Closured
Marius Rucescu - Closured
Romeo Lascaris - Closured

Several Ezrites are seen gathering not far from the Vistani's camp in the mists. They are heard speaking of a recently missing Warden. What begins at first with some contention quickly descends into hushed conversation as their suspicions are kept to themselves.

A lithe woman donning a heavy black hood is seen walking all around the Mist Camp, sorting her belongings, storing and throwing away a large amount of items, and stocking up on large amounts of supplies. She occasionally boards the caravans only to return a few hours later. She speaks minimally to anyone she comes across, keeping her head down the vast majority of the time so few, if anyone, can catch a glimpse of her face, even going so far as to avoid the idle groups that stand near the main paths which run through the encampment. Anyone who manages to speak with her notes how she speaks so softly with few words. Some may even go so far as to describe the woman's tone as "worn and somber".

After a series of flyers claiming the Blue Krenshars broke their contractual agreement with Borca, a commotion occurred outside of the Keep of the Dyad. It appears some manner of Dementlieuese debt collector was attempting broker with the Mercenaries when negotiations turned south. Suddenly the man tried to run before he was struck down from behind, by the leader of the Blue Krenshars. While there are conflicting stories as to what was said or shouted, most seem to agree the man was unarmed. The wereabouts of this debt collectors corpse are known only the the Mercenaries
