Während die Feinde der Ordnung der Reiche sich mit Spielen vergnügen, lädt das Haus der Seeschlange ein jeden Anderen zu einer Dämonenjagd ein. Die Jagdgruppe sammelt sich am späten Morgen des 23sten Siros auf dem Marktplatz Cadomyrs. Unerfahrene in der Kunst der Magie oder des Kampfes können gerne die Jagd mit vorbereiteten Wassereimern und Gebeten eisernem Glaubens unterstützen.

While the enemies of the Realms order are busy with games, the Third House invites everyone else to hunt a demon hunt. The hunting party will gather at the late morning of the 23th of Siros on the marketplace of Cadomyr. Those inexperienced in magic or combat are welcome to join with prepared buckets of water and prayers strong faith.

Stand against the abominations of the Fallen God, or play war. The choice is yours.

Steht gegen die Scheusale des gefallenen Gottes, oder spielt Krieg. Euch obliegt die Entscheidung.

Betreffend Caswir Drakull - Regarding Caswir Drakull
Auf Wunsch von Tempelwächter Xante ist der Galmarianer Caswir Drakull nicht länger ein Feind des Hauses. Der Tempelwächter veranlasste ebenso, dass Drakull als Beweis seiner Freundschaft von nun an als Beweis seiner Freundschaft sich um den Tempel der Göttin zu kümmern und diesen zu säubern hat.
Upon wish of Templeguardian Xanthe the Galmarian Caswir Drakull is no longer an enemy of the House. The Templeguardian also decided Drakull from now on is to clean and tend to the Goddess´ Temple as proof of his friendship.

Regelmäßige Waffenübung - Regular Arms Practice
Starting at the highest sun of the 11th of Bras the House of the Sea Serpent will hold an arms practice every dwarven week at the same time. Should events of higher importance (such as an attack on the Realm) occur at that time, the gathered Cadomyrian and Allied forces will be put to help deal with that matter. The practices will consist of lengthy spars with practice equipment provided to best hone the combat ability of the attendees. During the practices Cadomyrian recruits will be outfitted with suitable equipment as well as instructed for practice and hunts they wish to do on their own. Depending on the weather the practice will either be held on the market place or the practice hall. Anyone not associated with those opposing the Realm and its order is welcome to join the practice.
Beginnend mit der höchsten Sonne des elften Bras wird das Haus der Seeschlange jede Zwergenwoche zur selben Zeit eine Waffenübung abhalten. Im Falle von wichtigeren Geschehnissen (wie etwa ein Angriff auf das Reich) zum Zeitpunkt der Übung werden die gesammelten Truppen Cadomyrs und seiner Verbündeten eingesetzt um sich der Sache anzunehmen. Die Übungen selber werden aus langezogenen Zweikämpfen mit gestellter Übungsausrüstung bestehen um bestmöglich die Kampffertigkeiten der Teilnehmer zu schärfen. Während der Übungen werden Rekruten Cadomyrs mit passender Ausrüstung versehen und für eigene Jagten und Übungen instruiert. Abhängig vom Wetter werden die Waffenübungen entweder auf dem Marktplatz oder in der Übungshalle des Reiches abgehalten. Einjeder, welcher nicht den Feinden des Reiches und seiner Ordnung nahesteht wird gerne willkommen geheißen.

Insofern nicht anders angegeben findet eine Zwergenstunde vor jeder Übung eine Versammlung der Hausmitglieder und Anhörung von Petitionen statt.
Unless stated differently the House of the Sea Serpent will hold a gathering of its members and hearing of petitions one dwarven hour prior to each arms practice.

Kleines Turnier der Schützen - Small Tourney of Archers
The House of the Sea Serpent will hold the third tourney of archers at the late morning of the 14th of Eldas. The procedure will be equal to the last tourney oft he same manner held by the House. The shooting match will, just as last time, take place in the practice hall. There will be three rounds. Each attendee may repeat their shot once each round, although the second shot overrules the first. Every attendee may bring their own bow and munition to the competition. The attendee with the most rounds won wins the shooting match. In case of a tie, a fourth round between the best archers will determine the victor.
Das Haus der Seeschlange hält das dritte Turnier der Schützen zum späten Morgen des 14. Eldas. Die Prozedur wird identisch mit dem letztmaligen Turnier des Hauses ablaufen.
Das Wettschießen wird, wie zuletzt, in der Übungshalle des Reiches stattfinden. Es wird drei Runden geben. Jeder Teilnehmer mag seinen Schuss je Runde einmal wiederholen, jedoch verfällt in jenem Fall die Wertung für den Ersten. Ein jeder Teilnehmer mag einen eigenen Bogen mit eigener Munition mitbringen und verwenden. Der Teilnehmer mit den meisten gewonnen Runden siegt. Im Falle eines Gleichstands entscheidet eine vierte Runde über den Sieger des Turniers.


Mitglieder des Hauses der Seeschlange sind im Gegensatz zum letzten Turnier nicht augeschlossen. Wie bei dem vorherigen Turnier ist es nicht nötig sich im Vorhinein einzuschreiben.
In difference to the previous tourneys, Members of the House of the Sea Serpent may participate. As like for the last small tourney, there is no need to enlist for participation.

((Rolling will be, as always, done on Roll20.net . The rolls will be 3d100 and need to be lower or equal the characters (skill+bow level+%gem level on bow) to suceed. Highest suceeding roll wins the round. Levels of bows used must be equal or lower than the characters skill. In case you want to roll yourself or watch, register (doesn't cost a thing and there won't be any spam) and poke me in the irc before we start. I'll be around 30 minutes prior.))

Abend der Geschichten - Evening of Tales
At the late morning of the 11th Irmas the House of the Sea Serpent will hold an old evening of tales. Anyone wishing to listen or share a tale of their own may gather around a fire on the market place. The event will be held in the old language only.
Zum späten Morgen des elften Irmas hält das Haus der Seeschlange einen altsprachigen Geschichtenabend. Einjeder der lauschen oder gar eine eigene Geschichte zum Besten geben möchte mag sich um ein Feuer am Marktplatz versammeln. Der Abend wird ausschließlich in alter Sprache gehalten.

Hohe Räte - High Councils
Das Haus der Seeschlange hält weitere Hohe Rät am achten Malas und dritten Zhas, bei welchem die Edlen Häuser den Anliegen und Gesuchen der Untertanen der Erwählten Gehör schenken werden.
The House of the Sea Serpent holds further High Councils at the 8th of Malas and 3rd of Zhas for the Noble Houses to listen to concerns and peditions brought forth by subjects of the Chosen One.

Skullcrusher Invasion

Post by Q-wert »

The Scullcrusher Clan is the head of several orc tribes driven from their home caves in the the far north by an undead red dragon. While during first peaceful contacts with their scouts the House had hopes to settle them peacefully in the area of the shrine of Brágon east of the desert where game, fresh water as well as wood and water are plenty. These hopes are now squelched as the clan made camp in the inaccessible border mountains and violently started occupying the eastern desert in force and now has to be brought to its knees before they are willing to negotiate. The House of the Sea Serpent was able to scout out the spearhead of their invasion, four command posts set up around an abandoned fortress now flying their four-fingered banner.

These command posts (easily identifiable small podiums with a scroll on them) can be temporarily claimed (and are by the House at the moment this parchment dries), severely disrupting their reinforcements from the mountains. Any able member of the House as well as any dutiful Cadomyrian ought to head out when time permits to drive the orcish skirmishers back into the mountains and capture the posts of orcish command.

Regarding the Skullcrusher Invasion
With proving the might of the Realm by taking the orkish command posts taken plenty of times and several sweepings of the desert from hostile invaders, the initial wave of the Skullcrusher clan is driven back into the mountains. With the desert quiet and the command posts destroyed the House waits watches out for the next move of the clan, ready for negotiations as well as a second attack.
The House of the Sea Serpent thanks those who kept up the fight when its members retreated for food, sleep and prayer.


Small Tourney of Archers
This cycles small tourney of archers is over and was blessed by plenty of attendees. Runewickian Ranger Riniao Teries defended his title as champion marksman the third time in a row, receiving this cycles winners trophy, the largest perch caught in Cadomyrian waters up to date decorated with a complete set of magical gems from the treasury of the Third House. Second place, and a small consolation gift, went to the Galmarian Jacob.

News from Hunter Sefja
Long standing member of the House, Hunter Sefja, is currently abroad on a mission to make contact with her old clan. In a recent letter she wrote to have safely reached the shores of Kjelt and to be heading inland after provisioning up. The House wishes the blessings of Mother Zelphia upon her travels and will be with her in their prayers.

Regarding Diplomacy with Galmair
The House of the Sea Serpent had invited Galmarian counsellor Raina Narethil to its last gathering to discuss the current situation between the Realm of the Chosen One and the settlement of Galmair. The counsellor did, while according to Guardian Milenus having passed the gate at respective time, not join the gathering held on the market place. The House does not look kindly upon the continuous mockery from Galmair and assumes there to be no interest in changing the current situation on their side.
Still, Raina Narethil is hereby invited to the next gathering, should there be a Galmarian change of heart.

Neue Bekanntgaben

Post by Q-wert »

Regarding Cadomyrian Temples
Approval Marcelius Services of the Temple of Zhambra
The House of the Sea Serpent approves of Titus Marcelius (Runewickian in employ as warden of the Temple of Zhambra) vision to build a religious fellowship devoted to Zhambra in the traditional Albarian way. While his fellowship will strictly follow Albarian ideals, Marcelius assures that it will by no means hinder or even prohibit worship to the honourable Gods and use of Their temples by those not sharing their vision.

Building a Temple of Sirani
The House of the Sea Serpent approves of Renoahs (Galmarian priestess of Sirani) request to build a temple around, and bridge to, the shrine of Sirani. The Third House will revisit and refine the initially presented draft of upon recieving it from the priestess and make an announcement once details are worked out and costs calculated with the Cadomyrian buildmaster.


Regarding Galmair
Enemy Fooser struck down
Fooser, former Baron in service and now enemy of House Edwards, was legally struck down on neutral ground close to the Hemptie Neck by the Templewarrior. The Third House wishes to remind that enemies of the noble Houses of Cadomyr can be slain on Cadomyrian or neutral ground without penalty or trial by anyone daring to confront them, for as long as no House does formally put a shielding hand over them. Unfortunately Enemy Fooser survived the encounter and remains a threat to the Realm.

As a reminder, a list of the enemies of the noble Houses of Cadomyr, none of which under the protection of any House:

  • Fooser - Enemy of Edwards
  • Joomajin - Enemy of Sea Serpent
  • Ulquiorra Dreadhart - Enemy of Desert Fox and Sea Serpent

Diplomacy
Galmarian Counsellor Narethil had a lengthy talk with the Templewarrior about the current situation between the Realms. The long due trial of Drathe Blue will be held with Galmarian consent, with the appearance of the supposed criminal up to himself. Should he be found guilty and not be present for punishment, the unanswered request of the Chosen One Herself would remain and be considered. The Counsellor also assured that the new front of the criminal band calling themselves 'Free Men', the 'Merinium Syndicate' has no right to act in the name of Galmair and holds no more political power than any other merchant. The insufficiently authorized hunts on Runewickian ground by criminal Gray are promised to be looked into by the Counsellor.

Lifting the Workshop Taxes
Due to the recent hospitality and humble friendship shown by the citizens of the settlement of Galmair, as well as the fact that those few opposing the Chosen One barely ever dare to enter the settlement (and are chased off in these rare instances), the House of the Sea Serpent lifts the taxes on the use of Cadomyrian tools by Galmarians. Should any other House object this move, or Galmair choose to stray from their path of friendship, the taxes will be reintroduced.

Wille der Erwählten

Post by Q-wert »

The Chosen One has announced her will on the matter of the Fellowship of Saint Cornelius and of the Albarian Temple of Zhambra. The presence of those denying the beauty of Sirani and the worth of women in the Realm will not be accepted by the Chosen One. As of such any following the old ways of Albar unwilling to change to the enlightened path shown by the Chosen One are not welcome in the Realm.

While the Templewarrior fails to comprehend Her decision to ban one who stood in for the honour of the Chosen One with his live, fought valiantly to defend the temples of the Realm and assisted in near every arms practice since the last nights of blood, preaches loyalty to stand above all and always treated the High Priestess of Tanora with the respect she deserves, the Houses loyalty to the Chosen One is as absolute as Her word.

Titus Marcelius is not under the protection of the House of the Sea Serpent, his long standing employ as keeper of the Temple of Zhambra ended and the Houses approval of his order revoked. The House of the Sea Serpent will stand by the House of the Desert Fox in any of their actions to weed out those valuing the past the Chosen One brushed off as she ascended from Albarian Princess to Cadomyrian Queen.


In unconditional loyalty to the Chosen One,

Re: Haus der Seeschlange // House of the Sea Serpent

Post by Q-wert »

The Templewarrior will head out to a pilgrimage until the end of the dwarven week and therefore be absent from the Realm for this short period of time. The members of the House may still gather to discuss the recent threats to the Realm and train for battles that might be to come at the upcoming gathering and arms practice. High Priestess Zelphyra as well as Hunter Exelous will be present and coordinating matters if their duties to the Realm allow for it.

In case quick decisions of weight need to be addressed, Hunter Exelous is hereby granted the right to speak in the name of the House of the Sea Serpent with its full weight in court during the upcoming absence of the Templewarrior.

Building the Temple of Sirani
After long work the plans of building a temple around the shrine of Sirani in cooperation with the Galmarian priestess Reonah are now complete and have been handed to the builder. The House already has put considerable amounts of building material to the side and is eagerly waiting for architectural approval and calculation of costs.

Bezüglich Feind Fooser

Post by Q-wert »

The Chosen One has made known Her will. Enemy Fooser must be beheaded on Cadomyrian ground and his head in such case immediately be presented in the throne room. This is due to the former Baron laying hands on the Queen and unconnected to the punishment he might or might not receive from Galmarian justice for his attack on the Realm, a fact the Don should be very much aware of as he himself agreed on this measure.

While one may legally slay Enemy Fooser on neutral ground due to his enemyship to the Royal House Edwards (which in turn is legally unconnected to the order to behead him on Cadomyrian ground), the Chosen One has now decided that he may keep his head for as long he stays away from Cadomyrian ground. The House of the Sea Serpent will leave Enemy Fooser be on ground neutral for as long as he does not raise arms against the faithful.

Bezüglich des Untoten Phelmon

Post by Q-wert »

The House of the Sea Serpent is disappointed in the step of the Fifth House to grant the undead necromancer Phelmon the field battle against Cadomyr he asked for. In case of Phelmons victory the Fifth House does grant free passage and the right to spread his teachings. In case of the certain Cadomyrian victory Phelmon is merely to leave Cadomyrian ground.
  • On Phelmon
    Phelmon claims to be a follower of Cherga who once lived in the desert long before it was settled by the Cadomyrian founders. He is a powerful necromancer with the ability to move between bodies and manipulate at least wind and sand to a dangerous degree. A blood ritual performed by a self-sacrificing foreign cultist east of the cornerstone of candour brought him to unlife about two dwarven weeks ago. What remained of the rituals setup has been recorded and samples been taken.
    Phelmon does claim to wish for nothing but peace and his teachings to be listened to. He also freely offered eternal unlife to everyone, even to raise the late King Reginald.

    After he had been denied to spread his teachings by the Third House, he threatened the Realm with conquest and his initial body was slain. A number of attacks from undead raised from the desert sands ensued during in following weeks. During those the clearly audible commands and chants of the necromancer openly stated his intent to raze the settlement opposing him as well as his disdain of anything holy. Needless to say all of these attacks were repelled with ease, after the last on this very day the Countess negotiated the battle in question.


    The teachings of Phelmon

    Phelmons teachings revolve around the ideology that death is merely a step towards eternal life (or rather unlife). Belief that Cherga is to judge the souls of the dead as well as the Cadomyrian school of Tanora (which does include the Ushak-Skath, one of the patrons of the Realm) are false and not worthy of worship, so he claims. The teachings of Phelmon have been found to be heresy by the High-Priestess.


The House of the Sea Serpent believes that demons and necromancers are not to be negotiated with, as such is but an invitation for poisonous lies and deception. With the current knowledge on the undead necromancer the Third House expects the creature to hold the agreement with the Fifth House. However, such will likely not keep the necromancer from moving on to endanger those very settlements the Countess called for aid.

While the House of the Sea Serpent does greatly disapprove of the move of the Fifth House to even consider granting the right to spread heresy, it will stand and fight on the side of the House of the Desert Fox. It also offers aid in battle to any settlement the necromancer might move on to.

In reply to the Countess' words

Post by Q-wert »

As the Countess announced to not hold back in what she calls a battle of words, I do have the pleasure to answer the last pamphlet after listening to reports of the happenings a tiring amount of times. The words of the Countess are true for the most part. Still, there are some few details worth pointing out.

Not specifying to where 'these lands' are that ones enemy may never return to might not quite convince the dead necromancer to never return to this world. Especially as the Countess explicitly spoke in her role as a noble of Cadomyr at the moment in question.

The dead necromancer did state that his ideology has little to do with the Fallen God and raising the dead against their will and would therefore in case of the most unlikely undead victory be granted to be taught in the desert of the Realm. These teachings depict Cherga in a most twisted way, disregard patrons of the Realm as unworthy and clearly oppose the believes taught in the Cadomyrian temples. Considering to offer such a place in the Realm is against the will of the Chosen One, as She made clear in the past.

The Baron believes in that any impurity threatening the Realm must be purged from it and not be trusted while it fought. When an undead enemy who assaulted the Realm for several weeks, who threatened with murder and conquest, suddenly claims to stand for peace and teaching and presents a solution to the conflict he created himself, such is most suspicious and very likely a trap.

If the Countess believes it to be witful to follow suggestions of an undead necromancer preaching heresy or to remain silent if others do so, so be it.

Ergebnis des Hofes

Post by Q-wert »

The noble Houses of Cadomyr held court, with the Chosen One speaking her will in several matters of interest to the public:
Die Adelshäuser Cadomyrs hielten Hof und die Erwählte sprach ihren Willen in mehreren für die Öffentlichkeit relevanten Themen:

  • Die Erwählte statuiert, dass die Adeligen beider Häuser zum gegebenen Zeitpunkt von gleichem Wert sind, keiner überwiegt den Anderen. Wünscht einer der Beiden über den anderen im Wert für die Erwählte zu übersteigen, ist dies durch Taten zu beweisen.
    The Chosen One states that as of now the nobles of both Houses are of equal worth, none overweighting the other. If one wishes to rise above the other in favour, they are to do so by proving their worth to the Chosen One.

    The Chosen One disapproves of necromancy, 'the dead are to remain dead' are Her words on the matter. The existence of the undead necromancer Phelmon as well as the teachings he aims to spread are intolerable on Cadomyrian lands. Countess Annabeth is granted the battle she asked for, although she would be held responsible in the unlikely case of a Cadomyrian defeat.
    Die Erwählte lehnt Nekromantie ab, 'die Toten haben tot zu bleiben' sind Ihre Worte diesbezüglich. Die Existenz des untoten Nekromanten Phelmon, wie die Lehren die er zu verbreiten sucht, sind nicht auf Grund Cadomyrs nicht hinnehmbar. Gräfin Annabeth mag die von ihr geforderte Schlacht zu führen, würde jedoch im unwarscheinlichen Falle einer Niederlage des Reiches verantwortlich gehalten.

    Die Erwählte statuiert, dass der Bann von und die Order Feind Fooser auf Grund Cadomyrs zu köpfen unverhandelbar sei. Lediglich sein Tod vermag Sie vielleicht Vergebung in Betracht zu ziehen. Er darf jedoch die Geschenke, welche er einst von der Erwählten erhielt, behalten auf dass sie ihn an die Ehre erinnern die er einst hatte und verlor.
    The Chosen One states that the ban from and order to behead Enemy Fooser on Cadomyrian land is non-negotiable. Merely his death might incline her to consider forgiveness. He however may keep the gifts he once revived from the Chosen One, as they might remember him of the honour he once had and lost.

Mass of Tanora, Expedition and Gathering of the House
High-Priestess Zelphyra will hold another mass in honour of the grand Goddess of Tanora at midday of the 17th of Ollos, once more sharing from the deep riches of lizard legends and faith. After the mass the High-Priestess will lead an expedition to the Lake of Life to inquire the reasons as for why its inhabitants stray from the true way of the Goddess.

The House also wishes to remind of the regular Gathering of the House of the Sea Serpent one dwarven hour prior to Mass and Expedition, to which outsiders are not unwelcome.


Arms Practices
To make room for the Mass and Expedition the regular arms practice held every dwarven week has been moved to midnight of the 23rd of Olos for this dwarven week only. The House of the Sea Serpent encourages to also participate in the Arms Practice of Runewick at midday of the 14th of Olos as well as the Galmarian defence drill and expedition held midday after the practice held by the Third House.

The practice held by the House will just as most events of similar nature before consist of lengthy spars to best hone the combat ability of the attendees. During the practice Cadomyrian recruits will be outfitted with suitable equipment as well as instructed for practice and hunts they wish to do on their own. Depending on the weather the practice will either be held on the market place or the practice hall. Friends and allies of Cadomyr are, as every time, most welcome to join. The House also provides fish, drink and practice arms for all that should require of such.


The Table of Zhambra, hosted by Starling
As it would be most insulting to turn down an invitation, the Baron and those of the Third House not bound by their duties to the Realm will follow the invitation of Starling. The House also invites its faithful allies, The Bearers of Fire, as they too were residents of Cadomyr once and such is a grand opportunity of people from all realms to gather in peaceful celebration. The Chosen One gave word that those members of the former band of the 'Free Men' who patiently endured their punishment are to be given a chance to prove to have changed for the better, so there is little reason to object the festivities on neutral ground.
The House of the Sea Serpent wishes to note that it does look favourably upon those who chose stand and fight for their believes. Enemies with honesty and courage are worth tenfold backstabbing schemers on ones side.

Abgewehrte Angriffe

Post by Q-wert »

At the last dwarven day the walls of Cadomyr were targeted by a massive attack of several hundred undead magicians. The Third House was present in almost full strength to fend off the attack and proved its discipline with one coordinated fallback and pushing out with a gradually advancing line of archers, systematically shooting down the larger force of undead mages to piles of bones.

The initial attack was followed by a strange light crushing down in front of the gates and spread swarms of fire wasps over the area. The House had the gates shut and the defenders lure the wasps to the coast to burn them on the bridges to the pirate bay. The burning went without noteable injuries among the defenders and no damage to the lands of the Realm. Still, some inhabitants of the pirate bay seem to have mistaken the burning for an attack, charging the Cadomyrian defenders on the bridge to either burn or be met with the sharpness of the blade.

A man calling himself "Captain Henry Gotfourth Mouthalot Red Dog Meiner" seemed enraged by the burning and the failed attack of his men, loudly yelling from its mountaintop, announcing that he would not leave the Cadomyrian threads and attacks unanswered. He demanded Cadomyr to hand over all of its gold and women, threatening it to burn should his demands not be met in three months.

Needless to say, such a demand is heresy. In answer Hunter Exelous of the Third House lead a voluntary squadron to search the pirate bay and confiscate its rum depots, cutting down all who dared to raise arms against them.

Bezüglich der Endbombe

Post by Q-wert »

As not a single member of the House of the Desert Fox was present at their expedition against the pirates, the House of the Sea Serpent took the initiative and marched the assembled forces against the entrenched forces of captain Red Dog. The expedition gradually drove the pirates off the bridges and broke through their barricades, eventually trapping their men and slaying all who dared to raise arms against the forces of the Chosen One. Apparently the pirates threw all of their available ground forces against the expedition to buy the captain and his alchemists time to escape on a small ship.
While the last of their ground forces were put to the sword, the pirates tossed fire a large quantity of bombs from a position in the mountain over their hideout, putting their remaining ships on fire before they could be acquired for the fleet of the Realm or used for pursuit.

The Third House found plenty of empty crates and barrels with labelling indicating a large scale production of firebombs in their hideout and began investigation on the matter. The Corporal watching the coming and going of ships reported increased activity in the last month. More interestingly Cadomyrian alchemist Bergenhieb told of suspicious blue fog coming from the pirates hideout (out of sight from the Cadomyrian settlement due to unfavourable winds, but clearly visible from his shack) for quite some time. He also told that captain Red Dog had planned a massive bombing attack on Cadomyr years ago and judging from the leftovers found he 'could' be working on what Bergenhieb labelled an 'endbomb', a weapon capeable of wiping out a fortified settlement.
While Bergenhiebs description of the potency of Red Dogs weapon is most likely exaggerated, the House has no doubt that its deployment against Cadomyr should be averted.

Due to the current situation, the House of the Sea Serpent would be thankful for any helpful information regarding whereabouts of the pirates alchemists or bomb production. A gathering to coordinate efforts against captain Red Dog will be held at the in the city hall at midday of the 17th of Naras. The Third House formally invites its Allies, the Bearers of Fire.

The Third House also requests the Countess to give notification of cancelled events 'before' they have taken place.

Caligraphed by the grandest of scribes, Lettarius. Who does find Cadomyr does still standing a wonder of vigilance, with the frequency of threats it does face. Of course his own contribution to this fact is nothing to neglect, either.

Bezüglich Verräter Dranis

Post by Q-wert »

Dranis (as of late also going by the name of 'Anra') once shared a bond of mutual friendship with the Templewarrior for over a decade and was considered a brother among those in service of the House of the Sea Serpent. Countless hunts and battles were fought side by side, heresy and unlive crushed with combined efforts.

However the once devout and upright alignment of Dranis obviously changed, and not for the better. Behind the back of the Third House he started to supply those actively seeking to end the very same House with magical gems obtained from his good standing with it. In the end he chose to fight House and Realm under the guise of a potion that changed his appearance to that of a halfling while leaving his scent untouched. The Templewarrior himself chased the supposed halfing through half the desert after the Battle of Cadomyr, and the sweated and bloodied scent of the shield brother he spent many days practicing with and fighting alongside was unmistakeably that of Dranis. High-Priestess Zelphyra and Templeguardian Xanthe, both not unfamiliar to the way of distinguishing rather similar looking landdwellers by their scent, and also not unfamiliar with Dranis himself, can confirm him to have been on the battlefield.

Dranis even confessed his treason to the High Priestess after initial lies to never have fought the Realm of the Chosen One or the House of the Sea Serpent. In a rather despicable display of spinelessness he instead tried to blame his new brother in arms, Jefferson Grey, for his actions.

While the House respects those who stand up for their ideals and will persecute none for choosing a side in an honourable battle, it has no respect to those abusing the trust of others and openly lying about their allegiances. As of such the House of the Sea Serpent had not welcomed Traitor Dranis inside the walls of Cadomyr, as announced after the battle.

However, the grand Goddess Tanora answered the prayers of High-Priestess Zelphyra on how to treat the betrayal of one who seemed to be a good friend. He is to be given 'one' chance to redeem himself and prove his friendship in deeds equal in weight of his actions against House and Realm. As the will of Tanora is as absolute as the one of Her Chosen One, the House of the Sea Serpent generously gives him until the nights of blood ending the tenth cycle after the return of the Old Gods to prove true repentance and a return to a path of honour and honesty. Until then he can enter and leave the settlement of Cadomyr as he wishes and may continue to do so after the period, if he has proven himself. As of now, almost one year after him turning against his friends, Dranis made no effort of such.



Praised be eternal wisdom of the Mother,

Schmieden des Drachentöters - Wettbewerbe und Markttage

Post by Q-wert »

With the Third House already having overseen the last competition for the forging of the Dragonslayer due to the inability of the Countess, it will also host the remaining events required to determine the New Worlds best blacksmith, carver and alchemist and gain their expertise for the endeavour of the Houses Allies to create a weapon capable of slaying the first dragons lost to the Fallen God.
Aufgrund des Unvermögens der Gräfin hat das Dritte Haus bereits den letzten Wettbewerb für die Erschaffung des Drachentöters durchgeführt. Das Dritte Haus wird auch die folgenden Wettbewerbe veranstalten, um den besten Schmied, Schnitzer und Alchemisten der Neuen Welt zu ermitteln und deren Expertise dem Bemühen der Alliierten des Hauses zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche mithilfe dieser besten Handwerker der Neuen Welt eine Waffe zu erschaffen suchen, mit welcher die gefallenen ersten Drachen erschlagen werden können.


Um die besten Handwerker in oben genannten Bereichen zu ermitteln, wird das Haus der Seeschlange Markttage zum Sonnenhoch der folgenden Tage veranstalten:
As of such, the House of the Sea Serpent will host fairs at the highest sun of the following days of the tenth cycle after the Return of the Old Gods:



The fairs will, just as the previous ones, be held in front of the Cadomyrian gates, allowing any visitor to the Realm to offer and trade their wares. The fairs will also be host to the contests to the New Worlds best blacksmith, carver and alchemist.
Die Markttage werden wie die Vorherigen vor den Toren Cadomyrs stattfinden um Besuchern jeden Reiches zu erlauben deren Waren anzubieten und Handel zu treiben. Gegen Ende der Markttage werden ebenso die Wettbewerbe für die besten Grobschmiede, Schreiner und Alchemisten der neuen Welt abgehalten.

Jeder Schmied, Schnitzer oder Alchemist, der wünscht am Wettbewerb teilzunehmen soll seinen Namen in die davor vorgesehene Liste eintragen. Sobald drei Teilnehmer in einer der Kategorien eingetragen sind wird der Wettbewerb dieser Kategorie am nächsten Markttag stattfinden. Beim Eintragen in diese Liste verpflichtet sich der Teilnehmer, im Falle seines Gewinns, an den Arbeiten des Drachentöter, in Auftrag gegeben von den Trägern des Feuers, mitzuwirken. Als Aufwandsentschädigung winkt eine einmalige Belohnung von 100 Goldstücken.

Any blacksmiths, carvers and alchemists wishing to enter the competition may write down their names on the respective list. Once three competitors of a category are listed, this contest of the respective category will take place at the next fair. By listing oneself as competitor and winning the contest one agrees to the commissioned work for the Dragonslayer put out by the Bearers of Fire for a handsome payment of one hundred pieces of gold.

The list for contestats to write down their name can be found at the palace of the Realm.
Besagte Liste kann im Palast des Reiches gefunden werden.



Die Prozedur ist ähnlich der der vorherigen Wettbewerbe. Die Gegenstände werden zuvor vom Teilnehmer erstellt und vorbereitet. Im nächsten Schritt wird der Gegenstand von einer vierköpfigen Jury betrachtet, bestehend aus einem Repräsentanten jeder Siedlung und einem der Träger des Feuers. Jeder Wettkampfrichter wird die Kunstfertigkeit des Gegenstands, die Beschreibung des Teilnehmers und letztendlich die Fähigkeit des Handwerkers zur Konstruktion einer heiligen Waffe beizutragen auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10 bewerten. Der Handwerker mit den meisten Punkten wird zum Gewinner der jeweiligen Kategorie ernannt, darf sich von nun an in seiner Kategorie der beste Handwerker der Neuen Welt nennen und hat die Ehre verdient, die Erstellung des Drachentöters tatkräftig zu unterstützen.
Procedure of the contests will be similar to the previous contests. Items crafted and prepared beforehand by the competitors will be presented to four judges, one representing each settlement and one the employing Bearers of Fire. Each judge will weight craftsmanship, the competitors description and ultimately the crafters ability to aid in the construction of a holy weapon in points from one to ten. The competitor with the most points will be announced victor, may call themself the New Worlds finest craftsman in their field and has won the honour contribute to the forging of the Dragonslayer.

Re: Haus der Seeschlange // House of the Sea Serpent

Post by Q-wert »

Pirate captain Red Dog was slain by the Templewarrior during a covered operation of the House of the Sea Serpent to counter the threat of the endbomb prior to its deployment. The endbomb itself broke without ignition during the raid on the pirates secret hideout and the gasses released will be dealt with in cooperation with the Alchemist Club of Firnismill, who´s members had been held captive by the pirate captain for the development of the bomb and now temporarily reside in Yewdale.

The Third House commends Rakaya from the Bearers of Fire and Hunter Exelous from the House itself on their outstanding performance during the operation and thanks all participants for their contribution to the safety of the Realm. It further takes note of the Fifth Houses inability to counter or even identify the now averted threat.

Erinnerung an den Wettbewerb

Post by Q-wert »

The House of the Sea Serpent is saddened at either the inability of the craftsmen of the New World to find the parchment for signing up or willingness to join for the competition for the best blacksmith, carpenter and alchemist of the New World. The Third House already added 50 coins of gold to the 50 paid for the commission of the winner and truly wonders for the reason of the lack of interest of being involved in the making of the Dragonslayer. As of yesterday no one had added their name to the list.

As of such, the House of the Sea Serpent does hereby remind of the competition at the upcoming dwarven day and points towards the list one is to enter ones name, if one wishes to partake. A detailed description of the competition can be found four papers above. Every participant not on the list one day prior to the fair will loose one point of score for every three hours their listing is too late.

Mentioned list can be found at its prominent place at the entrance to the palace.



May the Mother give those of faint heart the nudge they need,

Stand der Dinge

Post by Q-wert »

New Members
The House of the Sea Serpent welcomes the Novices Nelson Nicholas Nickelfarb, Rosea Finstersee, Za'ssariqet as well as Serf Tirsa'o'ixl. The House ever looking for capable and faithful members to aid in their journey of service to the Gods and the Chosen One.

Battle against Pehlmon
As everyone should be aware, the morning of the 24th of Tanos the Realm makes its stand against heresy in the form of the undead necomancer Phelmon and the twisted teachings he intends to spread. Detailed word about his impure intentions as well as the Third Houses standing on the choice of the Countess to face this foe in a field battle can be found in previous papers.
With the undead necomancer, an enemy with an army gaining in strength the longer the preparation, been given 150 days by the House of the Desert Fox, this fight will by no means be an easy one. Already reports of hundreds of lichs and thousands of regular undead rising from graves all over the New World and passing the borders of the Realm have reached the palace.

With the regular hunt on the necomancer already denied, the House of the Sea Serpent will not have this chance to fight someone standing against the will of the Goddess and Her Chosen One slip away. It calls all of its members to battle, renews its formal request of armed assistance to its Allies and is confident to field more than the two warriors the House of the Desert Fox had once contributed to the field battle lead by the Third House.
Members of the Third House unable to beat a tribal orc warrior in direct close combat will be outfitted with exquisite bows and plenty of arrows made for this very occasion. Every member or friend to the House of the Sea Serpent should come see the Templewarrior before the battle to receive potions, a warm meal and any equipment they might require for this trial of faith.


Battle for Letma
To make room for the battle against Phelmon by the Fifth House the planned counterattack against the undead invasion from the volcano of Letma has been postponed for one threeweek, now taking place at the morning of the 21st of Zhas. With the source of the invasion having been located by the Allies of the House of the Sea Serpent, the House will lead an offensive against the entrenched invaders to further decimate hostile numbers, and if possible to break through and crush the source of the invasion. The House will hand out digging equipment before heading out, as parts of the path leading around and into the volcano have been collapsed.
Hunter Exelous of the Third House is in charge of preparation and command of this endeavour, questions and requests regarding the offensive may be directed to him.


Market Fair
To make room for the battle for Letma, and if possible to hold the fair without the threat of an undead invasion looming over the event, the third fair and competition for the Dragonslayer is moved back for one threeweek. It is now held at the morning of the 18th of Ushos.
With the previous fairs having determined the New Worlds best black- and goldsmith, only the competitions for its best carpenter and alchemist do remain. As for the previous competitions the first cathegory with three competitors present will be held. Also as before, one may enter ones name into the list of participants fount prominently at the entrance to the palace
((see the old link)). Everyone listed three days before the competition receives one point for their entry in advance.

Erwachen des Tempelkriegers und Kommandantur des Hauses

Post by Q-wert »

Battle against Phelmon
The battle against the heretic necromancer Phelmon is over with the Third House and its Allies having fielded half of the defenders force. The Realm did prevail, the creature is no more and only a minor diplomatic incident occurred as the Allies of the Third House were forced to decide between their oath sworn before the Gods and a conflicting command of the Countess. A short summary of the battle can be found over at the board of the House of the Desert Fox.
The Third House wishes to add to have slain the Necromancer twice during the initial attack onto the entrenched position on the Grave of the Chosen One, the creature once falling to the bow of Templeguardian Xanthe and a second time to a bottle of holy water crushed onto its chest by the Baron Templewarrior.
While not having changed mind in regards of the choice of battle and preparation, the Third House commends the Countess on her decisive and level headed command during a battle too large in scope to oversee by a single person.

The Baron Templewarrior had been wounded during the fight and was bedded and treated at the Temple of Zhambra for two weeks. While his plentiful wounds are not completely healed, the fever is gone and he now is up and conscious and well on his way to recovery. The Baron Templewarrior also tells of a vision or dream to have witnessed during his long sleep, which he will meditate on at the temple of the Goddess.


Command of the House
High Priestess Zelphyra and Hunter Exelous do formally receive the right to do what they have already been doing well during the last two weeks. They may hereby act in the name of the Baron Templewarrior and lead the House of the Sea Serpent should they find the situation to call for such. They also may initiate new members to the House at the temples of the deities of these new recruits. Any servant of the Chosen one strong in faith and willingness to learn discipline may approach them to join the House.

Skipped Arms Practice
To allow the forces of the Realm to recover from the battle against Phelmon as well as the op upcoming fight for the volcano of Letma, the next regular arms practice of the Realm is skipped. After that the arms practice of Cadomyr, which is held by the House of the Sea Serpent at the same time at the same dwarven day every threeweek, will continue as usual.

Reminder
The House of the Sea Serpent wishes to remind of the attack on Letma lead by Hunter Exelous at the end of this threeweek as well of the two market fairs ending the dwarven weeks after that. As usual one can find detailed word in the previous announcements.

Stand der Reichsverteidung

Post by Q-wert »

On Letma
While the House of the Sea Serpent is not overly enthusiastic about its initial execution, the results of the latest attack against Letma are passable. Especially if one takes into consideration the path set up by the undead defenders leading into a literal death trap, teleporting attackers straight the bottom of the volcano which then started erupting. Injuries and attackers lost to this trap were minimal, thanks to the by then strict coordination.
The assault resulted in the entrance to the mountain as well as all portals outside of it to be sealed and the undead forces to now be trapped inside the volcano. The desert also has been searched several times to cleanse it from creatures who were lead away from the fighting. As of such, the path to the southern fishing grounds and the temple of Sirani is just as safe as it was before the invasion of the undead. Still, distance to the volcano is recommended.

The Magicians investigating former points of hostile activity outside of the mountain while the attack inside was pressed on have reported a vision of a column sporting the letter 'D'. The House is thankful for any further information gathered on the matter of this structure.
The Third House intends to breach the defences of the dug in creatures with heat resistance assault bridges after further preparation. An offer for commissioning the equipment required has already been placed at the market.



Orcish Invasion
Just recently scouts have reported a fortified command post at the same position the northmost post of the Skullcrusher clan had been during the invasion in the last cycle. The Third House drove the invaders back several times in first skirmishes, also mapping out the area the invading forces claim first as their staging point once the command post falls back into their hands.
The House will continue to put the invaders to the sword for as long as they refuse to negotiate and accept the rule of the Chosen One. Making use of the same tactics that have proven effective in the initial wave of the Skullcrusher invasion in the previous cycle is recommended.

Orcish Visitors

The House of the Sea Serpent wishes to point out that the orcs following Tairon Pantherbiter are unrelated to the invaders. Pantherbiter and those following him have proven themselves to be faithful and honourable hunters and gatherers seeking trade with the Realm. The Third House wishes them the blessing of the Firstborn for their endeavour to build themselves a new home.

Neue Portale am Vulkan

Post by Q-wert »

Apparently the peace around Mount Letma was only short lived. During the last threenight two confirmed portals opened in front of the sealed entrance, spilling out numerous red skeletons into the western vicinity of the Mountain. Those undead mainly consist of foes engaging in close combat with the occasional magician backing them up. Members of the House capable of combat ought to be spending most of their waking hours at either the mountain or in the desert for the defence of the Realm.
Most importantly the temple on the opposite of the river to the invading forces is to be be kept safe and cleansed should any of the hostile forces make over the water.

The previously published map has been updated, now also showing the staging area of the undead invasion in the south.

Schlüpflinge

Das Haus der Seeschlange verkündet voller Stolz das Schlüpfen des Wurfes von Tempelkrieger Ssar'ney und Hohenpriesterin Zelphyra. Die beiden jungen Schlüpflinge Chi und Choak-Ushak sind wohlauf, wenn auch müde vom Ausbrechen aus ihren Eiern. Die Schlüfplinge erhielten bereits kurz nachdem sie das Nest verließen ihre Segnung von der Erwählten, wie ein Willkommensgeschenk vom Haus des Wüstenfuchses und ruhen nun bei ihren Eltern.
The House of the Sea Serpent proudly announces the hatching of the nest of Templewarrior Ssar'ney and High Priestess Zelphyra. The two young hatchlings Chi and Choak-Ushak are well, but tired from breaking from their eggs. The hatchlings already received their blessing from the Chosen One and a welcoming gift from the House of the Desert fox shortly after leaving their nest and are now resting with their parents.

The House welcomes the two youngest subjects of the Realm and members of the House of the Sea Serpent.
