| [[people:Gia Sojourner]] begins searching for the source of the fires that have plagued the city. It takes her much of the day, but she arrives at the same neighborhood where she barely defeated the [[creatures:Demon]] of Fear just a few days ago. The aura of the creature still lingers over Old Town. It is not a place to enter lightly. | [[people:Gia Sojourner]] begins searching for the source of the fires that have plagued the city.

| - | [[people:Brizanthimus]] is with the [[people:Donat Lange|Lord Marshal]] bringing him the news of the city. The food brought by the elves is diminishing quickly and already they have tightened the rationing. After the one of their warships was sunk beyond the harbor they have not been able to bring in additional supply ships. The [[lore:Karashites]] tell the Lord Marshal they have two [[lore:Karashites#Stormships]] arriving, but it will be a few more days until they arrive. A boy sent by [[people:Xarth]] arrives at the outer gates with a message from Xarth. He is waiting at the north gate with news. | + | [[people:Brizanthimus]] is with the [[people:Donat Lange|Lord Marshal]] bringing him the news of the city.

| The Lord Marshal gives some messages to [[people:Gloria Hölzer]], who wants to go with Briz to the north gate, to deliver to Jalo. The most important of the messages elevates Sergeant [[people:Jalo]] to the rank of Captain. This puts Captain Jalo in charge of the defense of the north gate. His instructions are to hold the gate with whatever forces and supplies he can acquire. | The Lord Marshal gives some messages to [[people:Gloria Hölzer]], who wants to go with Briz to the north gate, to deliver to Jalo.

| - | [[people:Belenus]] learns there was an attempt on the Pretender King [[people:Ælfric]] during the night. It was easily beat back and Lord [[people:Brandr]] suggests that he try and find out who is behind the attacks while they bunker in. The young king is not happy about not leading a counter-attack against his adversaries, but he accepts Bel’s help in this matter as a kinsman. Belenus makes contact with Gerald, the former owner of the [[atlas:Shining Blade]] tavern and learns that Xarth has returned to the city – strangely enough on a horse made of darkness and fire. | + | [[people:Belenus]] learns there was an attempt on the Pretender King [[people:Ælfric]] during the night.

| Briz and Gloria arrive at the north gate where Xarth is waiting to speak with Sergeant Jalo. Carrying papers from the Lord Marshal the guard ushers Gloria in immediately – with Briz and Xarth following behind her. While "newly minted" Captain Jalo is reading over the papers [[people:Marrik Stonearm]] kicks open the door and with the guard attempting to pull him back stomps into the room. He gets into a shouting match with Captain Jalo concerning the supplies needed by his men on the wall. When Jalo says he will speak with Xarth first and Marrik can wait, the dwarf stomps his way out of the room. | Briz and Gloria arrive at the north gate where Xarth is waiting to speak with Sergeant Jalo.

| - | Xarth tells Jalo and Briz what he discovered about a [[lore:Cult of the Black Tower]]. They were using some sort of necromancy in the [[atlas:Kernwerk]] Tower. He managed to kill the spellcaster, but he does not know how widespread is the cult. Captain Jalo tells him that former-Captain [[people:Pippen Ruud]] was a member of the cult as they found a black tower scar on his arm. When they put some paper against it to trace the outside the scar bled into a perfect tower-shape on the paper. | + | Xarth tells Jalo and Briz what he discovered about a [[orgs:cult_of_the_black_tower]].

| - | Briz offers the help of the [[atlas:Mladovians]]. They are not part of the cult and so should be able to help track down the cult without sabotage from the inside. Jalo deputizes both Briz and Xarth into the [[lore:Nightwatch]] and then writes order for them to uncover this Black Tower Cult. He then writes orders to mobilize the Nightwatch to man the north wall. This gives Briz and Xarth the ability to be members of the Nightwatch, but not be mobilized to the wall because of an active investigation. | + | Briz offers the help of the [[orgs:mladovians]].

| He writes a message for [[people:Euriel]] that he requests two-hundred elves to help defend the north wall under the city charter that grants them the autonomous land inside the walls. He then asks Xarth not to summon the horse where others can see it. The people are reaching the boiling point. The fires, starvation, and crowds of panicked families has already made the city ready to turn on itself. He gives Gloria papers to carry back to the Lord Marshal, so she kisses Briz good-bye and returns to the palace. | He writes a message for [[people:Euriel]] that he requests two-hundred elves to help defend the north wall under the city charter that grants them the autonomous land inside the walls.

| Mirwen points out that most of the elves inside the tavern came aboard the warships or live in the Elven Quarter. Those elves that lived alongside the Bornheimers are already helping in their neighborhoods. War-Leader [[people:Aranion]] is not just well-respected in [[atlas:Ellendar]] for his warcraft, but is a follower of the Old Ways of the Elves. He believes that elves should not involve themselves in the affairs of the others. She cautions that they should watch their tongues and maintain a high standard of politeness when speaking to him. | Mirwen points out that most of the elves inside the tavern came aboard the warships or live in the Elven Quarter.
