| One of those who practiced without fear was [[gaz:michbeth|Michbeth]], but he disappeared around the time of [[gaz:sundering|the Sundering]], but there are those who still say he is seen to this day. [[gaz:tiana|Tiana the Sly]] practices her creed, but is nominally in the employ of [[gaz:great_church|the Church]]. [[gaz:ishorg|Ishorg]] openly defies the ban on practice but is constantly traveling, staying ahead of the bounty hunters and [[gaz:inquisitor|Inquisitors]]. | One of those who practiced without fear was [[gaz:michbeth|Michbeth]], but she disappeared around the time of [[gaz:sundering|the Sundering]], but there are those who still say she is still seen periodically to this day.

| Albeit not a wizard, [[gaz:grief|Grief]] could perform impressive feats of [[gaz:forbidden_arts|the Arts]]. If she is still alive however, most agree that the [[gaz:witch_queen|Witch Queen]] is the most powerful and we may yet grovel at her feet. | Albeit not a wizard, [[gaz:grief|Grief]] could perform impressive feats of [[gaz:forbidden_arts|the Arts]].

| I am sure both [[gaz:tonbee_the_tall|Tonbee the Tall]] and [[gaz:thyri_giant-slayer|Thyri Giant-Slayer]] would both claim the mantle, but others say that the axe of [[gaz:landgraf_gomgnur|Landgraf Gomgnur]] is the most fearsome blade one could have ever met. | I am sure both [[gaz:tonbee_the_tall|Tonbee the Tall]] and [[gaz:thyri_giant-slayer|Thyri Giant-Slayer]] would both claim the mantle, but others say that the axe of [[gaz:landgraf_gomgnur|Landgraf Gomgnur]] is the most fearsome blade one could have ever met. |

| During [[gaz:chaos_wars|the Chaos Wars]] the leader of [[gaz:inquisitor|the Inquisitors]] for [[gaz:great_church|the Church]], [[gaz:lorman_of_the_shield|Lorman of the Shield]] was distinguished in battle and all before him fell.

| People are flocking to the [[gaz:tent_garrison|encampment]], so I suspect you can find some loitering down near the [[gaz:dock|dock]] or outside the [[gaz:orc_and_pie|The Orc and Pie]].

| [[gaz:aelfric|The Baron's]] men are everywhere, so [[gaz:tent_garrison|camp]] is safe enough. Nonetheless, pretty much everyone carries weapons since the camp feels a little... exposed?

| Not long after [[gaz:aelfric|Baron Aelfric]] and his men arrived here they fought with a beastly spider larger than a horse that they found had taken up residence in the [[gaz:orc_and_pie|inn]] when they first explored its ramshackle frame. Its strong bite and poison claimed several souls and it crawled down the well where the [[gaz:market|marketplace]] stands now, but since it has not been seen it is assumed that it crawled out of the well and back to whatever Hell it came from... but we would all surely appreciate knowing it had been put to rest once and for all! | {{tagtopic>rumor +monster}} |

| Oh yes, in late winter two horrible beasts came into [[gaz:tent_garrison|camp]] late one evening and proceeded to cause havoc. Many blades slashed the beasts but it seemed that their wounds sealed themselves and many men fell. They returned again two weeks later and carried off two men and the last two sheep that the [[gaz:orc_and_pie|inn]] had. If you could take care of that, you'd be pretty well known, that's for sure! | |

| There is a woman in white that roams the beach some nights, but not a soul knows where she hails from. If you approach her and hear her scream you are done for! In fact, the very barge you came in on had an entire crew and compliment that were lost to the her not a month ago! | |

| There's been something seen in the skies about four days' journey by foot to the northwest beyond an abandoned tower. [[dm:gaz:questions:rumors|Rumor]] has it that it's a dragon but no one can say for sure. A shabby group of ne'er-do-wells came in from [[gaz:dunfalcon|Dunfalcon]] to find the beast but have never returned. | |

| Legend says [[gaz:black_goat|The Black Goat]] dwelt in the forests on this part of [[gaz:tears_deep|the Tears]], and some strange things have definitely been seen to the southwest in [[gaz:mistelm|Mistelm]]. | |

| During [[gaz:chaos_wars|the Chaos Wars]] and [[gaz:sundering|the Sundering]] a great number of [[gaz:relics|religious relics and artifacts]] were lost; finding those would be a boon and probably fetch high prices. Their disposition with regards to [[gaz:great_church|the Church]] is not known, though, although a few have been found and their rightful ownership not contested (or fell outside the gaze of the clergy). | During [[gaz:chaos_crusades|the Chaos Crusades]] and [[gaz:sundering|the Sundering]] a great number of [[gaz:relics|religious relics and artifacts]] were lost; finding those would be a boon and probably fetch high prices.

| Also, it is said that those [[gaz:great_church|the Great Church]] opposed had an immense amount of powerful magic, much in the form of weapons, armor and other items at their disposal.
