Tiso and I met with our King last eve and he is looking most well after an extended communion with his patron deity in the desert deep. We gave him all the news we had gathered and discussed many things. Those wishing more involvement with and in Outcast events should follow the 'bread crumbs' that will be layed down. Shade and water and may your arms be strong and swords sharp.

Outcast Envoy Sharuul

Raenilar,

Good to know you are still around. My hand misses the burning from when I smacked you across the face - and how is your crony Yhaman?

Much love,
Raudhan, that empath who smacked you while you tried to take over Riverhaven.

Renegade Empath Raudhan just arrived.

Souv says, "Annael should have been commended for her knifing empaths"

When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

Any timeframe on the visit to Therengia?

Me King and Yhaman,

I hopes this message finds ye both well and the situation in the deeper desert has been contained. All be well in Therengia, with only the occassional disruptions from the orc Viggu. As I have said in me previous letter to ye, he holds some information regarding histories not spoken of and written about, that I feel could be of importance and somewhat enlightening. The most interesting to me though, be the claim regarding the teeth and possession, as this could be information that could be of use to us.

Sharuul as sent me a message saying there be very many on the islands that be interested in joining the tribe. As I do not be having ye leave to interview them as yet, Sharuul has spoken to them briefly. I do be behaving arrangements to go to the islands via a candidate's boat to do a final interview, but will not till I get ye approval to do so.

The others I have spoken with, are being patient and understand that ye were both in the deeper desert taking care of matters. I do be having some reservations regarding some of them, and to this I do wish to speak to both of ye on the matter.

I was approached by a lad by the name of Sok. He has asked me, if one of our crafters would be creating a sandstone statue for a project at the Stone Clan in Zoluren. I was taken back at first by this request, given the previous feelings of the Prince. I did be informing him that I would speak with ye and the crafter regarding this, but only after he be getting approval from the Royal Steward Lindryl. I did be explaining to him what this gesture could be meaning to us, so to be very clear on the request to the Royal Steward, and the answer.

I be mentioning also, that King Talorc showed an unusal interest in ye powers, me King. He did be asking me some questions, but as it be a matter that should be handled by ye alone. I only briefly answered his question, with zu real information. Mayhaps a visit to his camp be in order, as we do still have a standing invitation with him.

I still have not finalized the agreement with Mayor Bressail. I be hearing he be very busy at the time. I do be hoping to get that attended to in short time though.

by me hand,

King's Wiseman Tiso Rhodri-Fawr

Me King,

I be asked by Chamberlain Isleif to send ye word, that the Baron will be sending the Ambassador to Muspar'i and wishes an audience with ye. I will be accompaning her there as well, so we can discuss the matters I have written to ye previously about.

by me hand,

King's Wiseman Tiso Rhodri-Fawr

(A small black goat trots into the camp and drops a note at the King's feet and bounds off.)

The note reads:

Me King,

It has been some time since we has last spoken. I has a few things to be discussing with ye when time finds ye free to meets with me. I will be around town for a bit with the exception of having to return to Theren to sees the play with me lass friend. I hopes to be seeing ye soon.

Guardians guide,
King's Wiseman Tiso

My ....,

Today was an exciting day. Princess Macja once again fancied a stroll. Today's destination the city of River Haven and Dunshade Manor. General Drexella was at hand as well as Commander Worrclan...their people were on the ball, so to speak....term I learned while studying in the Baron's lands. Anyway Chamberlain Isleif seemed burdened and he broached the topic of the sadness plaguing his birth right. I hope he tells the Princess before a citizen lets it slip. Princess Macja honors me with her trust and her friendship, it seems she is more relaxed when I am near, well that's what she told me. I hope to bring her that peace more often. I take my responsibilites very seriously and will try and guide her gently...she doesn't need little me to tell her what to do, but when she asks I will do my best. She continues to be the pure definition of what it means to be an Outcast. Brave, direct, fierce, intelligent, and so lovely. I truely enjoy her sense of humor...those I have come to know call it..dry humor? Chamberlain Isleif was a gentleman, saw to her without stifling her...and it seems there is a true spark of interest between them. I think it to be a good match. I will continue to send updates as I am able. Xelten made an appearance...he was well behaved...this time...I made sure the Princess knows to watch this one...she put him on notice without haste...Chamberlain Isleif threatened his life...I found it very likeable about him...Outcastish.


Shade and water and Urrem'tier look past you,


Valelaer

Shade and water my blessed King,

I pray the day finds you well. Yesterday was an exciting day.
Baron Gyfford and His brother Lord Oleveir arrived to address the issue
of appeasing His honor. After appointing Valynn as His Ambassador to
Ilithi his two conditions for appeasing Him are as follows:
1) Xelten meet him in melee combat; and or
2) His Citizenship from Ilithi be revoked.

That settled light conversation took place til we were joined by
Princess Macja and Her wolf cub Captain. I gifted her with an
Outcast Wyren doll chew toy for the cub and Sensusharr gave the
Princess a beautiful pouch she made.

Princess expressed her sadness that She barely knows Her intended and
also She wished to get out more. Baron Gyfford Himself suggested a
hunting trip which He and the Chamberlain might both attend. Baron
also granted she might travel His lands as She pleased with proper
escort. After clarification was given as to proper guard...(Some of
His and some of Ours) a hunting trip was planned. Flaree will be in attendence. I will be
going on the trip, but not hunting.
That's is all I have to report for now My King.

By my hand,

Valelaer

Me King,

I hopes this letter finds its way to ye. I knows sometimes me messenger gets a little lost in the desert and every direction seems to be about the same to them at times. I has been to the desert recent to helps with the birthing of the pups. As I tolds Alexii, one might not have made it through the night, but the others seems to be of hearty stock. The three he calls "the Sisterhood" sat and watched me with very suspicious eyes, the whole time I could hears their low growls of warning each time I cleaned a pup after the birth. I had broughts some tendered meat with me and with me being a healer, I thinks they thought I would do zu harm to the birthing female.

There has been many troubles to the south as of late. I knows it means little to ye rights now as ye has offered to helps them with their necromancy problems before. Odd how it be the very one that can helps them, they shun with great hatred. Such as it be. I understands their hatred, just not the lengths they will go to hang on to it. Mayhaps if they lost that, they would have little else to occupy their narrow minds. I had heards that some be right cozy with the necromancers there and these peoples are rightly excepted within the arms and folds of the populous. I was told that the necromancer even stood among them and had a conversation while they fawned over him, not a one taking a sword to him at the time. I shakes me head at the news of this, as it only makes me wonder more. Ah wells, what can ye do? As me mother used to says, Send ye bread over water but don't expects a nibble.

I not be sure if ye be knowing the lass Valkri. She be a feisty Elothean with fire in her heart. I has to says, I gets great enjoyment from her passions, as she speaks from her heart. She is truthful and does not hides false feelings and lies, I thinks that be what I likes about her most. I knows where she stands, and I be respecting her more for that. She has a pure hatred for Outcasts and ye. Mostly ye I thinks, as ye can well imagine why. I do not tries to make her understand ye reasoning behinds the death of the Ferdahl. I think mayhaps she even respects that I don't tries. Though, there was one time I did, but I could sees it pained her more than helped, so I let it goes. I think she tries to understand, but it alludes her greatly, but I honours her for at least attempting.

I hads a meeting recently, and was told the bulk of the metals be nearly mined. A shipment should be on its way to ye shortly and a 1/3 of the end product be their asking price. I knows this shouldn't bes a problem so I tolds him alrights. The messenger seemed a bit anxious to be getting back to his higher altitudes, so he did not wants to remain for any replies ye might have. If there be any changes please be letting me knows as soons as ye can, ye knows how they can be if things be changing at the last moments.

Just so ye be knowing, we will be allowing some to apply to be in the tribe. Come next weeks after our General Meeting, I will be having our members gives me the names of the ones they will be sponsoring.

~You can not have a conversation with nodding heads.~
~Issues are like last year's bad clothing styles. They are forgotten till someone shows up in them.~

Me King,

I had spoken with King Talorc today and he be requesting a meeting with ye. He wishes to speaks to ye on the subject of immortality. He be assuring me that the information will be kept to himself so zu worries on ye. He also wants to be presenting ye with a boat as a gift of the meeting. Hands be bonded and all, ye knows. Even if he does not acquire the information sought, he still wishes ye to has the boat.

*Valelaer, having reached the altar of Urrem'tier, kneels and prays to the God of the Void, begging for mercy on her people as they grieve the loss of their Wiseman. Weak from her fast, crying fresh tears, she stumbles to the nearest inn and writes the letter her duties dictate, but her heart laments.*

My King Father,


News has reached me that Your Wiseman has taken his final walk and has joined his people, fallen before him.

It is with a heavy heart I write this note...I know you will get word to my Father, we will need him here in Therengia...The Tribe is vulnerable without Wiseman Tiso's guidance. Please instruct us as to your wishes...

We will be meeting in Therengia in a few days time to discuss honoring his life. Please let me or another of the tribe...Your Chieftan Lomelinde, Emissary Alexii, Law keeper Jappal, for example, know how we can aid you in this time of loss. You have many at your disposal.

I pity any that aggitate you as you grieve the loss of not just Your Wiseman, but one you called friend and son.

King's Scribe and Princess attendent Valelaer

My King,

Word as reached me from the far South, of a prayer vigil, to my chosen God Urrem'tier. Is to be held just outside the cite of Shard. Now that I am no longer attendent to Her Highness, I am seeking permission to attend. I will honor your words. I don't fear death, I would attend with sincere intent to join their voices in prayer, I would go peacefully and unarmed. Lyras has to be stopped. I await your word, and pray my note reaches you.

Humbly and adoringly,

Scribe and Lawkeeper Valelaer

My King Father,

I am re-joining the Tribe of my birth. I tried to adjust to the ways of the Outland Tribe, but it's not as I am used to.

Shade and Water,

Valelaer


Outcast lesson 101: If I want your opinion, My King will give it to you, till then you fall on deaf ears

My King,

I send you word on a couple of topics. The first being, I have been approached by Terra, the bard from Muspar’I. She claims she is on a quest to seek out the leaders of the lands and request them to put aside differences and work together to help end the threat that is Lyras. I have made her aware that on many occasions you have extended your hand to help and it has been spit on, and that you may not be so eager to extend it first again. I told her, she may wish to seek other Leaders first, and then speak with you. Though, as you have been fasting, your insight and thoughts may be different, and I leave this decision to you.

Secondly, the Princess/Baroness, your sister, has not been available since the marriage. I am sure this is the Baron’s attempt to keep her safe, in these hazardous times. And as such, I have not been able to deliver your decree to her to speak with her about her marriage to the Baron. I shall be speaking with the Ambassador to see if perhaps an audience could be arranged.

Lastly, My King, the war with Necromancers and Undead seems to be getting broader. Before we had to deal with Lyras. Now we are dealing with a dwarf, that has created dolls and golems, animated lifeless things, that kill. Once again fueled with Necro magic. Your warriors are fighting with honor, and holding the line, as expected.

Your Wiseman,

Jappal Mic-irr

My King, I write to you as your humble servant to inform you, as you may already know, Lyras and her minions appear to be no more.

However, others that follow these arts remain and although the head has been removed from this necromantic pestilence, the body still festers and continues to spread its disease.

I will continue to aid your allies and family in Therengia until such time as they refuse my aid or you command otherwise.

Your faithful servant,

Lomelinde
