[Elyna]

Thread Name: Run to the shore
Participants: Malcolm and Elyna
Summary: Malcolm isn't dead! Both captured commanders have now returned safe and sound to the city. Hooray!
Important Quotes:

"His legs threatened to give way beneath him, and after taking a step forward, he buckled and bowed against the grass, watching her from his knees. The toll of the journey had finally caught up to him, and with the relief that came at seeing Elyna and knowing he was safe, that he wouldn't be returning to the mountains in chains, saw him succumb."

“I'm alive,” he breathed, as if he could scarcely believe it himself.
Words fell away, lovers reacquainted with another burning kiss, and for a time everything else was forgotten."
Impact: Malcolm Krome is not dead! He is alive!
Moderation: Awaiting Review

[Andráska Venora]

Thread Name: The Morality of Superior Men
Participants: Andraska Venora
Summary: Andraska joins the Ouroboros Guard by swearing his service.
Important Quotes:

This is not a decision to be made lightly for, once sworn in, it is hard to end. The Brotherhood of the Ouroboros Guard is built upon honor, integrity and loyalty. you have proven yourself to be all of these things and more, with a personal recommendation for our own Sovereign... Your blood serves as a reminder that nothing is too great a sacrifice for the Sovereign of Rynmere. Above all else, your duty is to King Cassander and his family. Any order is to be obeyed without question, any risk to be removed efficiently. Blood in Blood out.

Impact: This could change how people view Andraska, as well as the Venora family. Positive impact for nobles, perhaps negative for commoners? Not quite sure on the latter.

[Tristan Venora]

Thread Name: Tristan and the King
Participants: Tristan Venora
Summary: Tristan is offered a duchy. He picks Oakleigh.
Important Quotes:

It had taken many trials of debating, bargaining and negotiating with the seven Dukes of Rynmere to finally come to a conclusion that was finally acceptable. Cassander had stood fast, barely allowing for such manoeuvring, but allows the Dukes to think that they had a modicum of control over the situation. Finally, he allowed them to see the financial and civil benefits of officially bringing the Eastern Settlements under the constitution of the Kingdom of Rynmere. The division of the Settlement into three new Duchies, of which… “I would like to offer you a Dukedom, Tristan.”

Impact: This will probably affect the way people see Tristan and House Venora in a major (and hopefully positive) way. It will also have a huge impact on the Eastern Settlement. It is likely that not all people there will be happy with King Cassander's decision.
Moderation: This was moderated by Whisper and is awaiting review now.

[Xander Andaris]

Thread Name:[Krome] Patricide (Bumblebee please)
Participants: Xander Krome and his father
Summary: Xander attempts to kill his father but things go wrong and his father falls, ends up surviving and remembering someone was in the room when it happened.
Important Quotes: "Xander was wearing the uniform of a guard, that was how he had left the Inn that he and Celeste had stopped at on the way to Andaris unnoticed. It appeared Jersey Krome had not even noticed who it was that had entered the room, he commanded Xander who he clearly thought to be a servant again his voice a shout."

""Here you are, father." His voice again normal as he dropped the soap into the tub and looked into his father's glazed over eyes."

"His fat hand shot out to try and give some sort of display of power, a scowl hiding the flicker of pain that fluttered across his face as he shook specks of water from his white beard. But when he reached for the soap in his son's hand, he failed to notice Xander had already dropped it back in the tub and lurched forward, falling with a loud clatter as his giant body slammed into the ground."

Impact: Xander's father remember's someone was in the room. Xander failed to kill his father and instead is now at risk of being caught.

[Lei'lira]

Thread Name: [Warrick] The Tale of Drayas
Participants: Lei'lira Warrick, Malcom, various NPCs
Summary: Malcom investigates the disappearance of Drayas Warrick.
Important Quotes: “I’m sorry for what you’ve been through,” he told her, “but I can’t overlook the fact that you aided your cousin, Vivian Warrick, in killing a man by handing her the rope and horse that carried him away from here unconcious.”
Impact: Malcom learns that Drayas was murdered. Although Lei'lira Warrick is not guilty of killing him, she did not try to stop the person who rendered him unconscious, and she aided her cousin with the loan of a horse, and some rope. She was not arrested, however, since she agreed to testify against the murderer should she be captured. A bounty has been placed on Vivian, formerly Vivian Warrick for the death of Drayas Warrick.
Moderation: Awaiting review

[Xander Andaris]

Thread Name: [Astedia] Hands off
Participants: Xander Krome
Summary: Xander goes to Drakengard with the intentions of buying a gift but instead ends up fighting his way through an underground and illegal brothel with the help of a personal NPC and is eventually helped to finish the job by the city guard.
Important Quotes:

"Lets do it." Xander moved to stand in front of the door with his sword resting on his shoulder. He knocked and waited, Lian remaining where she was at the side, stepping away from the inlet and placing the point of her spear at the fresh hold.

"Lord Krome, thank you for your work here. I am most impressed with your resilience and care for the people. They are lucky you spotted this or they might never have been found, Drakengard is a big place and we unfortunately miss things." Xander nodded to the lead guard as he spoke and was happy to hear his efforts appreciated.

As they did a woman who had been tied up approached Xander. "Thank you my Lord, you saved me and my daughter. And at your own expense." She pointed to his wounds and he simply shook his head. "It is no problem, I care for those who look up to me. The people of Drakengard are important and they deserve to be safe." The woman smiled and nodded stepping back with her daughter as they waved goodbye.

Impact: The closure of an illegal sex ring in Drakengard, Astedia. Xander is seen helping personally with the protection of the city and its people, so positive for the leadership of Astedia I would guess.
