The Ithzir were able to enter our world by a powerful mana storm that occurred around Melgorehn’s Reach for three weeks. In the end, the heroes were able to hold off the invaders long enough for the portal between worlds to close on its own and the end of the magical storm. The Hendoran Outpost near Wehnimer’s Landing was transported into the other world, where it remained for three weeks, until the storm subsided and the battered Outpost returned. Only a third of the soldiers were left alive, many of them suffering from trauma and nightmares. Sir Thadston survived, but is said to still suffer from prolonged exposure to the other world and the horrors and fatigue of endless fighting. Many of his surviving soldiers are being sent home to Hendor to heal and rest, while reinforcements have been sent and will help keep the Outpost fully manned and staffed.The Brotherhood of Rooks, led by Rysus, a self-proclaimed King of the Rooks, continues to operate within and below the streets of Wehnimer’s Landing. There has been little noise recently in regards to their activity or exploits, save for a recent event where the Rooks helped some adventurers out of Wehnimer’s board a ship at sea to capture supplies of plinite, which were being transported by mercenaries and what appeared to be rogue wizards working for the Hall of Mages. Rumors indicate that an investigation into a satellite college of the Hall of Mages is underway, hoping to discern truth in this matter and if proven accurate, then to swiftly deal with any corrupted mages within their ranks. Two stockpiles of the stolen plinite were used by adventurers of Wehnimer’s Landing to help power pylons that aided in battling the Ithzir. A third stockpile of raw plinite remains in the possession of the Brotherhood of Rooks.
Grishom Stone is believed to now have planted one of his mind-controlled subjects, Glethad, into another world to study or garner power from an alliance with the Ithzir. His end goals are unknown at this time.
Khylon Oakspear, the dwarven ex-Marshal of Wehnimer’s Landing has finally almost fully recovered from the curse placed upon him by Raznel over two years ago during the Talador War. Khylon has since been appointed as the Captain of the Town Guard and has already taken measures to weed out corruption, firing or suspending suspected Rook sympathizers among the town guard ranks. The dwarf has also been holding daily meetings with the town marshal Thrayzar, to help better coordinate defense strategies between the town guard and town militia. Meanwhile, the Hendoran soldiers have pulled out of their supervision of the town docks, and all security measures are currently residing solely on the backs of the town guards and militia.
A representative of the Church of Koar has been dispatched to Wehnimer’s Landing to investigate the claims made by Lord Redding of the Order of the Night’s Blade upon during his trial and execution. Redding confessed to parts of his Order being corrupt and working with a local cult of Luukosians out of Barrett’s Gorge, and that a handful of members involved in the conspiracy are being afforded refuge in Wehnimer’s Landing. The representative of the Church is said to be arriving this week.
