News in Ricmorn

Time scale: You all left for Hasder's Föstudagur morning. On Laugurdagur morning, before sunrise, you split ways, some going to Ricmorn, others to the estate. Sunnudagur evening Hasder passed away. Manudagur morning (Chris) returned to Ricmorn to join the rest of the party. Today is Þriðjudagur.

The Farlax has delayed leaving port; reports are that they are waiting for some cargo on the road from Niverhall to arrive. A second Uarnesian ship, the Veloz, has arrived in harbor.

News of Lord Hasder's death is circulating around the city and some wonder whether his daughter, Songia, from his most recent marriage will return to manage the estate. The rumor is that they were estranged and she was living as a missionary in some remote corner of the world.

The Wolfen legions are preparing to to cross to the northern shores of the Western Empire where they will board ships bound for their home.

Some socialites are talking about some sort of hubbub that occured in the middle of the evening at the Omunis party. Some blame a small group of Wolfen who were attending while others note that Omunis seemed peeved for a while that evening, not something you see often in that man.

The homeless population has dropped dramatically in recent months and the governor's pointing to a boom in trade from the south for the economic good fortune. The number of arrests for disorderly behavior have gone up, however, as has the murder rate, which is not something the authorities are talking much about.

Greetings! I have a couple of quick questions, one about this post, and one about the previous post.

- For this post: what is the full time scale? In other words, what do those days translate to, and are they on a normal 24-hour scale? Hey, don't laugh - in this game, it never hurts to double-check.

- For the previous post: maybe I was too fuzzy in the brain by that point in the evening, but who in the hell is Zog?

Thank you.

- Chris

Questions answered:

Yes, the days are 24 hours days. They just have funny (Icelandic) names.

Nobody should really feel bad about not remembering Zog. There was only the briefest mention of this character by Silus, sometime during your evening escape. Silus said something about how Omunis was connected to the underground in Ricmorn, which was run by this thing, Zog, and that it might be dangerous, this fellow. Silus was trying to talk you into or out of some idea or other.
