* Rumours arrive from the recently wartorn Kingdom of Kuhl. Sailors, travelling merchants and bards speak of a land that is quickly recovering from past turmoil.
Taxes are said to never have been lower, which ensures a flourishing of all trades. Kuhl's citizens even enjoy free food these days because the new leadership has sailed in massive loads of grain and livestock from the nearby Kingdom of Nesar.
What the war destroyed, has been quickly rebuilt. The government of Kuhl sent it's soldiers out into cities, towns and villages to help rebuilt what the war destroyed along with magistrates with rights to reimburse the homeless and forlorn for damages done during the invasion.
If the war was hard on Kuhl's citizenry, they have recovered quickly. Few signs remain today - only few months after the taking of it's capitol, Westgate. In Kuhl, so they say, one is allowed to enjoy peace and freedom under the protection of their glorious draconic protectors. *[/SIZE]

Hello folks!
I have some time tonight and would like to check out some of the new areas that came with the update.
So if we can get a group of 5-8 people together I'd say we would be good to go. I am aiming at a starting time of 9pm GMT (due to the crazy sleeping hours of my daughter I am starting to become nocturnal). We'll start in Leringard.
If you can and wish to join - and have a character of lvl 20 or above - please sign up in this thread as soon as possible.
Cheers, Harlas

[SIZE=16]May I present to you an announcement that will shake the foundations of countries all over the globe:
"The coolest person ever was born on Friday the 24.th of October! I present to you, my newly born daughter - Tilde!"[/SIZE]This means that I will not be able to check the forums as often in the upcoming weeks. Nor will I be able to be present in-game a lot. I'll check my inbox as often as time allows it of course, but patience is a virtue. [SIZE=10](pronounciation of 'Tilde' in English is awkward  [/SIZE]

Calendar link: http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=9152&day=2008-11-8------------------------- People not already initiated in the motive for and goal of the quest should talk to Steel before the quest. I believe that we may be in for a long session and therefore we should not spend time on things that could easily be handled before the quest starts. Another option is to meet for a discussion an hour or two before the starting time. Looking forward to seeing you there  Harlas

[SIZE=16]* Messages arrive by falcon at various temples on Mistone. From here they are relayed by messengers to nearby cities, towns and strongholds, as well as from mouth-to-mouth.
Word is out about large scale fighting on Belinara - in the Kingdom of Kuhl to be exact. There is talk about civil war, about remnants of Sinthar Bloodstones forces returning in strength, about dragons in the sky, about creatures ascending from the Deep, about fire falling like rain from the sky... all in all, quickly the stories get better and better, the situation worsens and soon there are tales about Belinara sinking into the seas, never to be seen again.
Fact is though - say those who have listened to messengers sent out by the temples - that the Hilm Protectorate has made a public call for aid to adventurers, independent knights and every warrior wielding sword or magic. A mission needs to be undertaken and not everyone seems suited for it, for why else would they call for the independent?
No details about this mission are known, although many tales circulate. It seems that one must travel to Hilm to find out. *[/SIZE][/FONT][/B] // http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=8842&day=2008-9-21&c=3

... coming up the road from the south of Belinara (Nesar Kingdom), you experience drastic changes ...
----------------------------------------
Already in Nith and later in Fort Miritix you hear several rumours concerning Kuhl. They range from horror stories about demon cullings to tales about the peaceful state of the land thanks to their draconic protectors. It seems that more dragons have emerged - Bastion, Protector of Phal, is no longer alone.
As you enter the Kuhl Kingdom you notice a change of atmosphere. At first it is nothing you can point your finger at, but as you reach Vilsar you feel and see it everywhere - Kuhl is preparing for war. Everywhere there are posters asking young men and women to sign up for the army. Outside the city you notice large camps alongside training grounds for cavalry, archers and pikemen. There is no panic on the hamlets and villages, nor on the streets, but people are slowly filing into the city from the country, leaving their farms behind.
Queen Alise Langovale has ordered the city militias on full alert and has passed on authority to the lords of each city to raise armies. Nothing has yet been said about the 'why', so people are speculating. Many feel, however, that it has to do with the unrest up north.
You travel to Amaria and encounter more patrols and check points along the road there. The state of affairs here is no different than what you experienced in Vilsar - although preparations have gone further here. You stay here only shortly before continuing to Westgate, the capitol of Kuhl.
The military presence increases as you travel north and you follow a small regiment of soldiers that is dispatched from Amaria to Westgate. Even though there is good natured talking along the way, the men and women are tense and know very little about their objectives.
As you reach Westgate you join a mile-long line of fugitives waiting to enter the city. People are pushing and at one point a panic nearly breaks out. For hours you wait and movement happens in small increments - it seems that everyone entering the city is checked and has to answer questions. When it comes to you, you decide to be truthful (at least to a certain degree) and admit that you are adventurers who have come to Kuhl to see what is going on here. After long explanations inside a guard office you are allowed to enter the city, but also asked to return to the guard office in case of emergency - it seems they count on you to help in the fighting, should such a time arise. Probably partially the reason for allowing you entrance.
Westgate is a city preparing for an attack. There are soldiers and commoners everywhere. Farmers are selling their wares for outrageous prices, but the city is passing out rations to the needy twice a day, so that no one will starve... for now at least. Discipline is strict to keep a sense of lawfulness and peace within the city and the military seems efficient and well trained. Ballistas have been arrayed on top of the city walls and archers are posted at every murder hole - Westgate is waiting for something. What? No one seems to exactly know. At least none of those you speak to or are willing to speak with you.
Finally you leave Westgate behind, aiming for either Tammil or Tulam. A few miles along the road north take you to a blockade. A military outpost has been hastily erected here and few people are allowed to pass. Once you tell that you come from Westgate the soldier in charge lets you know that they cannot let you pass the blockade and risk you falling into the hands of the enemy, where you might share tactical information about Westgate and the disposition of it's troops.
Furthermore you are warned that going north takes you into enemy territory - although no one elaborates on what that actually means. It seems that only officers know anything about what is going on.
Among those who file through the blockade from the north there is talk about street fighting in Tulam - it seems that a city militia is fighting for every home and defending every street mouth against the enemy. People are uncertain, however, as for how long they will be able to keep up the resistance. Tammil is lost, so say the rumours.

Hey there everyone I would like to adventure with Kobal Bluntaxe on Belinara tonight - places to visit depend on the strength of the party. If your character has a high enough level to be on Belinara and handle him/herself there, you're invited to come.  I will wait outside Arnax at 6pm GMT. Yes - this is in one hour and ten minutes. See you there! Harlas

[SIZE=16]* Posters have been set up on market squares in cities and towns of Mistone. *[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]Dear citizens of Mistone,
The terrible and vicious attack on Leringard left many of us maimed and trembling. But history repeats itself and the stout people of Leringard have shown during past months that they, too, are kin of the ancestors that fought off barbarian and bandit raids for centuries, before a small community became the city it is today. Courage, perseverance and the spirit of it’s people is what has brought Leringard through these difficult months.
The city, however, would not be what it is today, if not for the many sources of aid that arrived shortly after the attack. I therefore extend my deepest gratitude to those who offered shelter, donations in true, food or supplied the crews of masons and carpenters with materials for their work. It warms my heart to see such kindness and aid freely given.
-------------------------------------------
I hereby offer my personal thanks to the following organizations and people:
The Foundation, for their continuing efforts in donating food, clothing and healing supplies to the homeless, along with providing the city with construction materials from their supplies as well as those of nearby lumber mills, including a group of hired workmen.
Orc Bashers, for their continuing efforts in donating food and clothing to the homeless, donations in true and vast amounts of construction materials that flow into the city on almost a daily basis.
Leringaard Arms Inn and Tavern, for their continuing efforts in donating vast amounts food to those in need after the attack.
Raven Trade Company, for their enormous donation in true.
Wren Thendor, for his enormous donation in true.
Sallaron Tempest, for his considerable donation in true.
Grohin Silveraxe, for his considerable donation in true.
Jacchri Abianca, for his considerable donation in true.
Ophelia Swift, for her donation in true.
Church of Folian S’pae, for donations in true and construction materials.
Church of Aeridin, for healing supplies.
Argali Trueaxe, for her donation in true.
Dan Hardhammer, for his donation.
Caerwyn, for her donation in construction materials.
Lord Rael and the city of Prantz, for their support.
Lastly, I send warm greetings to our friends of Clan Ulgrid, who sent scores of craftsmen to aid us in the rebuilding process. May our future relations remain as solid as the mountain that houses your kin.
May the future be bright, prosperous and welcoming to all of you.
Sincerely,
[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16]" The heavy resource digging in the Spirit Dunes slowed to a nearly a stop as aspiring sand miners began encountering frequent mishaps, from unexpected sand slides resulting in dangerous burials, to those that would have sworn they knew the way becoming separated and lost, only to stumble into Krelin's Tents for water just in time. The would-be harvesters were deemed to have an extraordinary amount of luck, as no fatalities or serious injuries occurred - just a halt on most of the digging.
After a week or two of such difficulties, those brave or foolish enough to persist were approached by two pairs of halflings that warned diggers by stating vaguely that many areas are unstable due to erosion, and offered to provide guides to show both better places to dig, and how much to dig. It seems that due to the increased difficulty in acquiring resources there, that the rate of sand leaving the desert will slow greatly, and consist mainly of sand from the advised locations. Would-be diggers are advised to follow the same guidelines. "[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10]// Digging sand is not off limits, but every 'digger' in the Spirit Dunes should RP according to the above.[/SIZE]

* The harbour area lies in ruins after a vicious and fatal attack by a great white dragon. Casualties number in the hundreds and most vessels in the harbour are beyond repair. All houses in the harbour district took damage and most remain in ruins, requiring a total reconstruction. Wounded were taken to the temple of Mist to be tended for, while commoners and guardsmen alike helped to evacuate the homes that were affected.*

Before the dragon left back towards the open sea it circled once over the city, bellowing a message for all to hear:
[SIZE=18]"For the breaking of an alliance! Fisterion, King of Dragons, willed it so!"[/SIZE][/B]
