Event 4 - May 2022

#### Encounters/Mods

* Magic Sheep! Sheared magical sheep for a crafter of the Exalted Forge, who then taught us how to spin wool. Participants granted trait Threads of Tapestry.
* International crime for Morellan! Broke into the Brethalyian embassy on Conventry to steal back something that was stolen from the Red Tower. Discovered a really old student roster that included the name of blood mage Aldrin Serrith, who is the current ruler of Brethaylia. We specifically are waiting to share this information with the town until a ritual to protect us from prying eyes/ears can be completed.
* Lucent Court - the protectorate fought some members of the lucent court (previously known as the empire) who were trying to kill a senator. Raiz discovered his brother is involved and either a member/follower.
* The Hunt! It was a holy day for Eminent Pursuit, and the hunt was successful.
* Met with the headmaster of the Pantechnicon and talked about our crafting needs; mentioned we would love more training with higher-end recipes. He wants to help the crafters reach Journeymen status. His apprentice s/w us about a piece of an artifact his master has hanging around, a cross guard, and he’s been researching its past and discovered there are pieces of it all over Almeryn. He’s got people out searching for parts and he wants to put it back together and forge something incredible.
* In Tavern: Some lady from Magnus Arcanum(Amanda):  let us know that the Drider and Changeling Magiars are lobbying to form their own houses. House Dragon has said they support it, but the other houses have not commented. I believe she is a changeling and a unicorn (she was wearing a VERY glittery blue mask)
* Dark Avinyar Followers! There is a sect of Avinyar followers that are using a ritual (which is currently held by Alexander) to blow up souls to empower their own. We’re not sure of the details as to how they got it and why they’re doing it, but we did manage to take the ritual from them. We’re hoping to trace the magics to whomever made it and put a stop to it
* More followers of Aphinae burned down a church and murdered all the priests. They said that Aphinae betrayed or lied to them. My dreaming question related to who or what drove them to forsake their god.
	+ What caused the priests of aphinae who burned down the temple to turn from their god?
	+ Fury! The Fury that comes from being removed from Aphinae’s embrace. A Fury that leads them down a path that further removes them.
* Saint of Murder (Aruna) Dagger: there was a dagger that the saint of murder wanted us to get which was protected by followers of the god of murder. They were fucking BEASTLY (many deaths were thrown. We got really fucking lucky), but we managed to get the dagger and end the magic on it. It is worth knowing that we did this because it was the thing to do. Ain’t nobody working for that fuckwit. He came back to town later looking for said dagger and was very angry when no one would tell him who had it/if it was taken. He also made it sound like they were not followers of the Aruna but cultists instead.
* Grim Hunters: People wearing sashes that have…I think it was a hand? Maybe a clawed hand? That had red splotches at the end of each finger (might be blood? Might be fire?) and they hunt Grim marked folks. They killed Gideon :(

#### Wave Fights

* Embridge Haven (friday)
* Dreadkin (saturday) tunnel fight - gathered info regarding the ritual to raise the dread lord/how to stop it
* Fae - stopped a ritual that would have opened a permanent portal to the Fae realm for invasion purposes

#### NPC/PC Relationships

* New NPC: Akaron (Jake). White costume, hooded. Red belt maybe? He’s a Grimoire, an angel who exited the service of their god. His god was the god of…. I don't remember? He can no longer sense his god.
* Queen Morgeenie: Fae court I assume. Anyone know anything about her?
* New NPC: Unknown name, priestess of the Exalted Forge
* New NPC: Augustus Damryn (Jake):  Green shirt w/ trim, yellow scarf, Solarin. Morgan Damryn’s uncle, brother of the deceased Huskarl.
* New NPC: Saint of Survival, Prince of Crows, but he follows the god of Survival (not to be confused with the Eminent Pursuit and the domain of survival). Came into town to “see what people were willing to do to survive”, so I think he was looking for selfish PCs? Anyway, he imbued me with a trait (that only lasted for the event) that would heal me to full if I ever dropped once ever, so I recommend people chat with him next time he comes in (Patrick’s NPC; wears green clothing and has claw marks on his face)
