Chapter 2

• 11/12/2023 (Official Vignette)

Ladicius Saxe receives a parcel from Minister Ezaihas, leader of the local chapter of the Church of Koar, inviting him to visit a Bake Sale and Art Walk that the church will be hosting next month in Solhaven.

• 12/8/2023 to 12/10/203 (In-Game)

The Church of Koar Chapter for Solhaven held a Bake Sale and Art Walk to raise funds for the church. Minister Ezaihas and Mistress Khoiya were present as representatives of the Church of Koar as well as several orphans in their care. In particular, a rambunctious orphan named Addey endeared herself to several adventurers.

Ladicius was present during a prayer vigil for his missing sister and the minister led those gathered in prayer to beseech Koar for the safe return of Thanela.

The weekend was capped off by an art auction featuring various works by renowned artist Pher, where quite a large sum of coin was spent in the name of charity.

• 12/16/2023 (In-Game)

A strange occurrence took place along the Mistydeep River near Ta'Vaalor when a thick and malign mist was observed rolling across the docks of the fortress city.

The mist soon dissipated but with its departure, a Lady Cydris arrived and seemed to be suffering from some affliction that those present likened to possession. The lady claimed to have visions and described a red-haired woman that resembled the missing Thanela Saxe but a Thanela that emanated danger and violence rather than the kind and gentle young woman known before her disappearance.

Further investigation of the docks revealed a severed arm and tangle of dark hair that were quickly discarded by a present dock worker. The dock foreman and dock worker were uncooperative and no exclamation was given as to why the possible evidence of foul play was disposed of so readily.
