Sithicus - Har Thelen
« on: October 30, 2021, 12:34:01 PM »
Under the stary night and the gaze of Sithicus' dark moon - The vigilant guardians of the Mourning gate witnessed the approach of a small band of travelers emerging from the cursed woods. It is soon discovered that these were no mere wanderers - but long lost sons of the ancient city, who were considered missing and dead after their mysterious disappearance many moons ago. A Royal, a Ranger, a Protector and a Greenshaper, accompanied by a powerful Wizardess unknown to the inhabitants of the small city. Rumors further say that a mysterious woman who had been spotted with the group emerging from the woods had turned back just before the gates.

Their coming was of mixed emotions, for their arrival home was not without loss - carrying with them the lifeless body of a woman born of the esteemed house Mystic which
had perished along the perilous way.

The deceased was taken to the Black tower - the sitting place of the Order of the black robes, under the guard of the recently arrived. several hours later she and they were no longer to be seen.

In the coming days the familiar banners of the Royal house Elevashe appear throughout the city - A star shining over a silver tree. Conforming the rumors that the presumed dead son of the esteemed lord Elhan had indeed returned to the city, well and whole.

A curious sight; a group of three Sithican elves venture into the Mantle Woods in a hurry, soon merging with the forest landscape and disappearing entirely. They roam the wilderness, making appearances at the Iron Warden and in many other locations on the road to Har-Thelen, combing the dangerous pathways thoroughly as if searching for something, or someone. In their wake, the locals spread rumour of Invidians sighted within the borders of Sithicus...

The defending forces of Har Thelen receive a most troubling report - a group of armed invidians was allegedly sighted within Sithican lands.
A more detailed account would be handed to the vigilant members of House Protector by no other than Thalasum Sian of house Sestari and Thalasannu Nehorai of house Elevashe, encouraging a heightened state of alert amongst the defenders of the city and the rangers scouting the woods.

As the sun sets upon a stormy and misty day, a group of elven Protectors bearing the Elevashe colors enter the city. Battered, wounded and grim they enter the gates carrying with them the motionless body of an armored platinum haired knight. They head straight into the estate, vanishing behind the ancient grey walls.

Later that very night, Servitors in the service of the house are seen pinning a notice on the very same walls. Visible to any bypasser, it would read as follows:

Quote

Life breathed abroad yet with sacrifice comes union
Loyalty in the face of death, answered by memory and grace
An example set for those that come thereafter, their shields to hold against all odds
All doubt perishes as the veil unfolds
The house remembers, and forever thanks
Know peace in death and a home earned by blood
Your duty now fulfilled, your rest ordained
Ours is the grief, ours are the shackles
You are now free so that in the end - so shall we be.

House Elevashe mourns the passing of Mishandra Peinfalaben who died as a protector to our city and people.

And yet, our hope endures.

A large gathering of Sithicans and other foreign elves are seen gracefully performing some strange ceremony.  Candles held by each lazily reflect off the nearby river water and bounce back on the performers dejected eyes. This odd procession moves from one bridge to the next before their lights are soon consumed by the many shambling shadows of the city. Long after bittersweet song and words echo among the ancient trees in melodies hisses of Sithican and Elven.
