The fisherman's tale
« on: December 11, 2013, 12:56:11 pm »

Rumours persist in the drinking establishments of the city of Leringard and its surrounding villages and hamlets, of the fanciful tale of a fisherman of Palden Lake. He apparently while 'night fishing' (though it is noted that his breath told a different tale) oversaw a disturbing event. A shadowy figure with a skull-like head came to stand on a cliff face over looking the water, and stood silently as if waiting. Then (and the account differs depending on the tavern), a man dragged itself out of the lake and began to climb the cliff face to where the first figure stood. A break in the clouds revealed that its skin was greyish-green, and hung off its elongated limbs in folds. When it finally reached the top it faced the skulled figure. No conversation was heard, but a after a few moments both vanished into the night. A fanciful tale for a dark Seplar night.

A few weeks pass and the same

A few weeks pass and the same fisherman is again linked with a fanciful tale involving a spot of night-fishing. It seems that this time he claims to have seen a number of small companies pass by Palden Lake in the dead of night, heading in the direction of Leringard. Stories are told about them being of 'unnatural appearance and sinful of bearing'.

 

In other news, the City of Leringard is rumoured to be attempting to regulate the sport of 'night-fishing' in the wake of a series of maritime-inebriation related incidents.
