A Letter to Elmerton

Heroes of Elmerton,

I have received information that will help us in our fight to restore Armego to his rightful position. A liminal known as Xoltrium has graciously offered to help us and has given the following answer to a query about the hearts of the liminal drones we were able to obtain.

Placing the hearts of liminal drones into these warriors is a good step indeed. However, the hearts alone will not be enough. I will give you a handful of strands of hair from my living body and enough maggots from my dead body to allow each member of your force to have one of each. These must be used in conjunction with the hearts.

 Once the voice begins to hate the voice, the skin begins to hate the skin. You must reinforce this and fuel Hyurog,s rage- a weakness of his that you will need to exploit in order to tear him away from Armego. Two Warriors in unison will seek out one individual who must immediately find another individual of his choice with whom he will stage a fight. In front of the two warriors, the two individuals must make a show of one hating another- through one voice fighting another. Or one skin fighting another. At the height of the show, the individuals must turn their heat on the Warriors and fight them in honorable combat. If they are able to best the Warriors, they must then open each of the Warrior’s chests and insert the drone heart along with the strand of hair and the maggot. The Warriors will heal their own skin and return to the Aspect. Like a spark to tinder, the rage will build.

When you see a pair of the blue and orange Aspect Warriors (for lack of a better name) that we instructed the Aspect of the Orb of Creation to make, let them find the specific person they have in mind. If you are approached, you should find someone with whom to stage an argument of some sort – someone who has not yet fought one of these Warriors. It can be a fight with swords or with words, but it must be a spirited one regardless. When the fight heats up enough, both of the people involved should then fight the Aspect Warriors. If you are able to incapacitate them, each person must then take a strand of hair from a liminal, a maggot from a liminal, and a liminal drone heart and place one of each component inside the chests of the Warriors. Once you have fought a pair of these Warriors in this way, you will not be able to do so again.

Xoltrium has given me these components from his own bodies, and I will make sure that they get to you; I cannot be in town on Gatheringday, so other arrangements will be made.  By doing this, we are widening the split between Hyurog and Armego.  Hyurog’s rage is his weakness and it is how we can pull him away from Armego and the Incarnationhood.  Sending these Warriors back to him, altered in this way, should add to his Blood Fire and give us an advantage.

See you all on Wakingday,

Rakesh

Player Submission: A Vision From the Abyss

I received this vision in a bloody haze of pain the other night and thought I should pass it along:

People of Elmerton:

Greetings from the Abyss! It’s me, Poonjesticle, Sole Heir to the Blue Prince of Darkness, Future Ruler of the Abyss, and I was just writing to let you all know that, rest assured, I made it home safe and sound! I must say the trip here was a bit more unsettling than I remember, but I did have that monkey to take care of. Worst. Interplanar. Travel buddy. Ever. He kept screaming the whole time and didn’t even make it here in one piece. Tell him he’s gonna have to do better than that when he kicks it for good and begins his eternity of demon slaying servitude. I hope the rest of you can hold your own better when you get here.

Otherwise I’m doing great, thanks for asking! The fire beaches are lovely this time of year and I must admit I got a little side tracked getting back to father’s blue demon palace. There are a lot of lovely terrors down here and hardly any green things, which is nice. You guys would totally love it!

I should probably apologize for that whole business with Beladross. I honestly didn’t realize who he was and that was a real low blow sacrificing Kraven’s dad and all. But, you know, Demons will be Demons. Loki gets it. All things considered I can’t complain. He did get me back home and with him mucking about on Magesta there’s one less ambitious foe in my father’s way.

Send my best along to Frank. I miss him dearly and his awesome stories about his dead family. Also he knows the best way to cook mortal flesh that dad’s chefs just can’t compete with. Considering how useless that monkey turned out to be I’d say Frank was a total steal. I should’ve asked for the souls of two children instead…

Wish you all were here!

Player Submission: Court Minutes- Petalsong 124

Leave a comment

Court Minutes of Elmerton – 31st day of Petalsong, Year 124, Age of FortuneOpen book

scribed by Rybin vanHolt, Historian and Scholar

1. Tellah Forgedheart, Minister of Hatchport, addressed Elmerton on the threat posed by the Gloomis and advised citizens to use the dream tokens acquired the previous evening in the dream realm to create centerpieces on tables in the Wining Spirit tavern that would act as a beacon for hopeless souls, and then to restore their hope when they approached the centerpieces.*

2. Rakesh addressed the town with information he learned from from a liminal named Zoltrian (sp?) about the Incarnation of War. It was confusing, but according to Rakesh’s source it seems that When Armego awoke, Hyurog awoke and that they share “one voice” and “one skin” and that the skin is Armego’s and the voice is Hyurog’s. The liminal further stated that they would continue to share voice and skin until “voice hates voice” and “skin hates skin.” It was suggested that a “piece of Hyurog” that was cast away – War with purpose – may be the key to getting the Incarnation to hate Itself, and thus separate Armego and Hyurog.

3. Minister Oliver described the recent rash of theft and called on townspeople to report what was stolen and what was known about the thefts. Pollux Caster reported 2 gold stolen in Upper Cabin, Solun reported over 6 gold stolen. Galynn reported the theft of a ring affixed with a “comically large diamond” and warned that the ring was “cursed” and would cause to rot the hand of any who would wear it.** Azareth reported that a man named Torok threatened to steal from any townsperson he found unconscious, and Watch Captain Ulysses stated that he had multiple reports of similar exchanges with Torok. Minister Oliver said that Torok would be brought in for questioning if he returned to Elmerton.

4. Minister Oliver clarified the purpose of the Town Watch: The Watch serves not to protect the town from outside forces – for this is a “city of heroes” – but to investigate crimes between townsfolk. The Watch has has no authority for summary judgement, and any crimes between townsfolk are to be reported to the Watch or the Minister. The Minister also pointed out that the Town Watch is recruiting.***

What follows are not properly Court Minutes, but instead “further reading” about the situations discussed at Court.

-Rybin vanHolt

*Hopeless individuals did appear through the Evernight Forest, in one instance seeming to come from the Age of Repose. It appears that helping them empowered the dream tokens, and after relaying many stories of hope to the Great Gloomis, he and the spreading circle of despair at the edge of town have both vanished.

**The ring was indeed found and worn by the orphan Sebastian, and his hand was indeed rotting, discolored and swollen. Sebastian claims the ring was found on a trail. After reporting to Galynn for to the return the ring and seek treatment, the afflicted was told he would have to bear the ring for another day before it would be removed.

*** I spoke with Watch Captain Ulysses about the composition of the Elmerton Town Watch, and where our tax money goes. The ranking officer is Commander Kai, with Captain Ulysses as second in command. The other officers of the Watch are Loxi, Silver, Kaiji, and Semaril. According to Ulysses, the duty of the Watch is to investigate crimes between townsfolk, not to fight off invaders. Ulysses echoed Minister Oliver’s words that “Elmerton is, after all, a town of heroes.” In addition to paying the individuals listed above, Ulysses explained that taxes collected by the the Watch pay for farm relief efforts and infrastructure projects such bridges and road maintenance. The Town Watch has 4 openings for provisional officers as of the time of this writing.

Player Submission: A Letter From the Magistrate

To my fellow citizens of Elmerton,

As your Magistrate, it has been brought to my attention that several of our fellow citizens were the victims of crimes last moon.  As such, I shall be holding court at approximately one bell past high sun on Wakingday at the amphitheater to deal with this matter as the incarnations see fit and allow victims to bring charges against their transgressors.

It was reported to me, that the possessions of several individuals went missing from their cabins.  In addition to this, several citizens were looted during battle with reports of fellow citizens being involved.

I wish to take this opportunity to educate and provide recourse for those that would prey on the heroes of Elmerton.  To educate, please realize, that the individuals that you steal from are indeed heroes, and I do not use the word heroes lightly.  These are the mortals who stood against and defeated Queen Amphelise the vampire queen who would subjugate nations.  They are also the heroes that defeated the Earth Caller Durias Unddybar, who attempted to merge dimensions with Magesta and stopped the deaths of thousands.  Some of these heroes fought the Sleeping Lord himself, and with it saved all of creation and advanced the Age of Fortune.  How dare anyone think that they should deprive any riches of these heroes.  For those that have stolen from our heroes, I can only consider you villainous in every manner of the word, and should the incarnations see fit, I shall reveal you and let the heroes decide how they should defeat you.

But as I also mentioned I would offer recourse, I shall allow any of the guilty to confess their crimes to me prior to high sun on Wakingday, so that the matter can be dealt with in a most honorable fashion and with mercy.  This first offer, my offer to deal with you in an honorable manner expires one minute past the sun reaching its peak and I shall turn my back on mercy towards these crimes moving forward.

As an additional offer to those that would remain in the shadows and stick to their villainous life, I make this offer to you.  If you must steal from a member of the town, do so from me directly.  I shall from this point forward carry a gold piece just for this necessity.  Should you have the desire to strike down a fellow townsperson, or to even rummage through their possessions while their blood spills for defending Elmerton, do it directly to me.  I shall reserve the wrath of the incarnations directly for you, villain.

From this point forward, I am suspending the sheriffs duties previously enacted during the Rites of Perdition, and I have approved the reinstatement of the town guard.  The town guard will be responsible for investigating crimes between citizens as well as being charged with investigating troubles as often comes to our town.  In this town of heroes, the town guard is not the substitution of heroic action. They are merely individuals who will strive to help the members of Elmerton above all else, and for that they have my respect.

My last plea is to the victims who have found their riches, be they coins, weapons, potions or jewels taken from them.  I shall do what I can to find the criminals who have taken items from you.  Currently, I have been given a list of suspects and shall share with the town guard so that they may investigate these crimes further.  Yet, my request is that you take it upon yourself to exercise the most minimal of precautions and hide your goods.  Treat them as the treasures that they are. Bury them, trap them, and protect them in some fashion other than leaving them in the wide open, only to find them gone and wondering who could have betrayed you and your apathy towards your gold.  At least make the effort to have good thieves work for their prizes, and do not let the pathetic ones profit from your foolishness.

Any other items that must be brought up at court should be brought directly to my attention either Gatheringday or Wakingday prior to court being called into session.  Although not mandatory, I am requesting a representative from any of the guilds of Elmerton be in attendance so that I might request council during our discussions.

And as always, thank you Elmerton for all the good works that you do.

Minister Oliver Finnesterra, Magistrate of Elmerton

 

Player Submission: Elmerton’s Smiths’ Guild No More!

ELMERTON – On the 4th of Petalsong,124 Age of Fortune, almost 127 years to the day from its founding on the 7th of Maygrelian (now known as Petalsong) in year  2004 Age of Arrival, the The Elmerton Smiths Guild, founded by Rakesh the Smith and Haku Steelwind with apprentice Kaybin Stormsill, is changing its name.

HammerAndAnvil

The meeting began with current members Rakesh, Lex, and Kendrik unanimously approving the admission of Janseng the Orphan as a Journeyman (Janseng, if someone is reading this to you, congratulations).

The next order of business was a motion to change the name of the organization from the Smiths Guild to the Metalworkers Guild, followed by motion of intent to build a “mechanical dragon-body” for the imp alchemist Pendel’s assistant Murray. Both motions passes unanimously.

It should be noted that this is not the first time residents of Elmerton promised to perform such a task. Several month prior to the founding of the Smiths Guild, Haku promised Pendel a “special metal dragon body for Murray” (see the Magestic Messenger Vol.I, Issue 6) Per Pendel and Murray’s requests, “fire-breathing” is a “mandatory” feature of the draconic from, with flight being “optional.”

Player Submission: Scholar Seeks Help in Writing “A History of Elmerton”

To the Good People of Elmerton:

As many of you know, I, Rybin vanHolt, am recently arrived in Elmerton to study and record the amazing events to which residents of this small Irvanshirian town contribute. Events in Elmerton often have far reaching consequences that effect all of Irvanshire, Magesta, and even dimensions beyond!
You may not know it, but the Magestic Messenger is read far and wide, and is often the only source of reliable information about the happenings in Elmerton. I am here in an attempt to remedy that. I have talked to many of you in my efforts to compile information for my forthcoming book, tentatively titled “A History of Elmerton,” but there are many to whom I still wish to speak.
In particular, I am very interested in learning more about the early history of Elmerton, particularly its politics, and Elmerton’s connection to the elemental planes. Anyone with information or expertise in these areas is urged to contact me.

PC Submission: Bloodriots Memorial Dinner and Fundraiser

By | | ,
Leave a comment

Just over one year ago tragedy befell the citizenry of Riverton. The tragedy known as the Bloodriots caused damage to not only the buildings, but the people and indeed the very soul of Riverton. We seek to put that right.
To provide a beacon of light and hope in these dark times the Playhouse right here in Riverton will be hosting a dinner and a performance to raise funds to benefit local orphanages and hospitals on the 31st day of Petalsong in this, the 124th year of the Age of Fortune. This memorial event will also serve as a feast dedicated to Music as Petalsong comes to a close.
The entertainment for this event will be coming from the heart of Irvanshire! Riverton’s native son and famed maestro Simon Garren will be performing his final show as a student, as that night he seeks to perfect his learnings and join the annals of history as a master maestro.

While dinner will be free of charge, there will be a recommended donation of one silver for those who can spare it. Those who donate will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win fabulous prizes including gems and potions. Hope to see you there!

PC Submission: Pit Fights to Occur in Elmerton, for the Honor of the Incarnation of War!

By | | ,
Leave a comment

On the last day of Petalsong, a great tournament will be held in Elmerton to honor and glorify the Incarnation of War. This contest of martial prowess will take the form of traditional pit fights and will be held beneath  Armego’s banner at five bells past noon. Presiding over these pit fights will be the towns’ resident Warlords – Lex Mitorae and Tiberius Grimm. And why fight you may ask? Well for the sport of it of course! For the glory of crushing all other competitors beneath your boots, and to show the Incarnation of War that we are deserving of his blessing and power in the coming times of strife. All participants can sign up with Lex or Tiberius before the competition, the earlier the better.

Like any good pit fight a material prize is often customary in addition to the glory of victory. To this end we have a potion said to be crafted from the blood of the Incarnation of War himself. This potion when drank will inspire your spirit to heroic proportions for one hour, allowing you to accomplish goals far beyond mortal limits. Merchants tell me this potion costs than twelve gold on the open market and will remain potent and strong throughout this year. Additional prizes may be awarded dependent on turnout and the vigorous showing of those involved in the fighting, to be determined at the discretion of the judges. Additional gambling will be available on the sidelines for all those interested, please inquire with the judges before the fights for further information.
