The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 5
My fellow Therans, in this time of grave danger and serious matters, I must bring to your attention another problem of that nature. It has come to my attention that as of late there has been a marked rise in a very disturbing phenomenon that plagues our streets, even as I write. Recent reports show that gnome fatalities are caused primarily by drunken adventurers misstepping, or swinging their weapons from their dizziness or disorientation. Gnome advocacy groups have been screaming foul at this alarming trend, but it appears no one will hear them, probably because no one is able, given their diminutiveness. I have brought this matter to the general populace with a plea: should you choose to imbibe large quantities of alcohol, please, observe the gnome crossing signs.

Hail Fellow Therans, greetings from Ravarin Canton bard extraordinaire! In my grand return to the realms, and it is grand indeed I have, with the help of a certain halfling drunk, uncovered a vast and somewhat horrifying conspiracy. It seems that a band of vicious gnomish taskmasters have set up a sweatshop deep in the sewers of Seringale. This syndicate has more or less imprisoned druids and are exploiting their skills to blend certain drugs and/or bootleg alcohol that can be sold cheaply and the effects of which tend to cause consumers to become addicted. These mixtures are then sold to certain establishments such as The Three Crowns, and The Wicked Ale, both found in Seringale. I uncovered this heinous act when a pair of hardened gnomes approached Talelai who stated she had enough business from Keeb to keep her around a while. This once secret organization is led by a mysterious and obese halfing who claims to be nothing more than a humble purveyor of religious relics. This unfortunately is all the information I have, due to unforeseen interferences with a rabid donkey named Herman. Fear not Therans, I will get to the bottom of this conundrum.

Bad tidings come today, as news from the front has confirmed that Phaleg Dragonsbane the Shepherd of the Weak has been captured by the Fell. It is reported that Phaleg had jumped in front of a small village that was about to be pillaged and fought the Fell back as long as his strength could...we will miss him dearly.

Lately I have been witnessing more and more activity from the fell. Just a few days ago they came out in force, Kedran, Iakhovas and Jerhyn (a traitor) came upon the conservatory and stole out item. One immortal I cannot say who for they kept themselves cloaked ordered a few of us to band together. Although in itself this is not odd it was who this one ordered together was the odd part, myself, Keedara and Lyph were ordered to band together to stop these brigands. We fought many battles chasing each other across the realms for many days, we fought with the aid of a young justice also Ilrodqurst who would ensnare them and aid us with his special guard as well for these three were wanted as well. In the end my companions and I ended up losing for Keedara fell and would not commit to it anymore. Me and Lyph tried our best to hunt them down with just us but they were to many and to strong we were driven back. I believe it was the differences between the Knight Lyph and Keedara that brought our downfall in this battle.

It seems that the fell and their traitorous allies have become quite overactive of late, they are recruiting our forces into theirs in numbers unknown in the past. As I have been watching many of my old friends even have joined them in their evil ways and I will speak with a few of them hopefully to figure out why they join with the emperor. I spoke with an old friend of mine Chnyl who has joined the traitors and there seems to be no reason for their joining with the other side besides outright boredom from what he says. I will speak with more of their kind and figure out the reason for this and write to you as soon as I am finished.
