12/09/22[Stonewood]The Northern Farmsteads have begun to settle in. Some people have migrated back to the city of Stonewood Proper for the winter, but many of the farmers are coming together to lay the groundwork for a central town between the distant farms. They are working with the civil necromancers who command the undead labor force, and may begin construction soon, if the weather holds out. Right now the only things marked out are a tavern, a chapel/schoolhouse, a marketplace, a smithy, a gathering hall, and a few wells. Not much, but houses and shops can fill in the gaps as more people stay. Spirits are high, the weather isn't usually so nice by the time harvest is done, so there have been a lot of get togethers. ~~~ Starhaven had been enjoying a seldom seen peace, without the organized crime that has plagued the city for a long time. Even with the higher number of guards, the people have returned to their comfortable lives without the curfew in place. That said, earlier this week some doors were kicked in in the middle of the night, and people actively planning criminal actions were dragged out into the street, and executed that morning after a final verification of their guilt. The message has been made pretty clear, there is no place for such crime in Starhaven, and criminal activity is being monitored. ~~~ Across Stonewood, some people more magically inclined have complained of not being able to reach the gods through their spells. Priests have made assurances that of course your prayers are heard, to have faith, and know the Novem are busy with protecting the lands and the people, but they will never forget about us. [Teng Hua] Though the nation of Teng Hua remains closed to most outsiders due to internal affairs, rumor has it that the Emperor has sanctioned a company of Yosei Handlers to see if they can find a way to bring Yosei to the mainland in an effort to help people better understand the nature of these spirits, and why the Yosei enjoy participating in Yosei battles. |
