The Start of a New Year
10:46, 11 January 2024 (CST)
True to change, the town folk of Icemule made some very powerful decisions through a vote that will move Icemule into a new era.
Two votes were held. The first Naming a Nation! The second a decision on the use of an ancient magic that has long been banned in Icemule.
The outcomes, even though they were close, were absolutely clear on what the Majority were wanting.
Vote Tallies for New Name of the Nation of the North:
Northwatch: 13 Coldmarch: 5 Frosthearth: 5 Nilasgard: 9 Wintersreach: 11
Vote Tallies on Blood Magic in Icemule Trace:
No, the town of Icemule Trace should not repeal its ban on blood magic. A successful vote for this option will keep all forms of blood magic illegal in Icemule Trace and will impose strict penalties, up to and including banishment or death, upon anyone deemed to be practicing blood magic.: 20 Yes, the town of Icemule Trace should repeal its ban on blood magic. A successful vote for this option will make the use of blood magic legal, but its use will still be regulated under the legal guidelines applied to all other magical acts within the region.: 27
Vote and Kai's Orb
Opalina sits in her cozy little townhouse in the southwest corner of town, the smell of cooking tarts wafting in through her window, the tip of her quill tapping against her chin as she thinks of her next diary entry and how she wants to convey her inner thoughts. She was rather disappointed with the outcome of both of the votes but has come to terms with it. She trusts the town, Perhaps this will help Icemule grow and prosper with larger views and more open minded acceptance. She's of course worried about the freedom of practicing Blood Magic will bring.. The evil behind such magic is ... unthinkable.. But .. maybe.. a balance can be found.
Opalina grabs a cricket and feeds it to her quill, watching the cricket's blood seep into it. Blood.. useful in some many ways.. She beings to write,
Falvicar told me there was a visitor in town looking for an artifact that is unknown if it exists or not. This visitor called it an Kai Orb. Said to hold great strength, or magic. The mayor confirmed such an object was rumored to exist in our Town and that Thurfel himself was once thought to be in search of it. Thurfel was always looking for more power and powerful artifacts. I wonder if he found it and put it away someplace. Sounds to me like something a lich would be highly interested in. This also brings me to the thought, Could the dark coven be looking for this item? But then again this, could just be another mule chase? Makes me wonder what we are missing.
Ohh side note, Our currency is changing to fit our new Northwatch nation, that's kinda neat.
Opalina takes a 1000 Icemule Note and glues it to the page under her last comment"

The Return of Zerroth

Diary Entry,
Sol Haven was beautiful this evening I was about to help locate lost art when a great explosion was witnessed, a volcano on Teras Island exploded sending lava high into the air, taking everyone by surprise!. I was very glad that I wasn't anywhere near it and continued searching for lost works of art. However, I was not skilled enough in the local shops to help much but I did managed to refill my box with more crickets. Lucky lizard.
The call to sail by Loralaii was issued and I made my way back to Icemule to sail. While out on the frostmain news was spreading fast in our mind networks that ghosts and clouds were being spotted first on Teras then Landing, Solhaven, Icemule, Ta'Vaalor, and many other places. The ghostly visits weren't very clear and I wasn't sure what to make of it from the ship, but one clear thought came through from Councillor Aliashyrah, "We are being summoned to town center for some important information on Zerroth. He's risen and coming to Icemule!" Luckily the ship I was on was docked when this thought came in, so I finished repairs on the ship and headed straight to Icemule Town Center, just in time to listen as Myharl was explaining what he witnessed.
The roiling mass came into the Hinterwilds from the Frostmain, created a maelstrom above the Angargreft, and then spiraled down into Berserker's End upon the bier where the gigas avatar and high priest of V'tull, Zerroth, lay in living death with his wrist slit, his tainted blood seeping down the ziggurat. the bier is now void and Zerroth has awakened. V'tull sent droves of V'tullian gigas to bring death in his name. Word was sent to Icemule to warn them of the potential danger as the next stop beyond Cold River and the Long Snow, and several defenders amassed from across the lands to confront the V'tullians on the top of the Angargreft until their forces were exhausted, and Zerroth swore to "soon" eat our hearts on the battlefield. I don't know of any other sightings south of the Long Snow as of yet, so they maybe amassing forces in the Hinterwilds.--Myharl
I couldn't believe it. Zerroth walking again..Jastalyn started calling for the Regulators so I felt safe to go, I had to go witness for myself, if it was true, so Falvicar and I rushed north as fast as that wagon could take us and sure enough.. That frozen gigga was surely gone.
I shudder to think.. what is coming next.
