Summer of changes

Many changes happened during the Spring and Summer months of the year 721.

In Ambroton, The Republic of The Middlelands was declared. The town of Ambroton grew with this developement. A Grand Council building was constructed as a centre of government, the townhall became the military headquarters. Many people flocked to the town in the hopes of the future this new land would promise, followers of Om settled in the west of the town. Many farmers displaced by drought settled in the south side of the town, bringing with them the church of Chauntea. Refugees from the war between The Holy Empire of Om and The Konigsreich Kingdom to the north have also arrived, mostly settling in the east side of the main road. These new arrivals brought with them many rumours.

Kriv lead the heroes IV, Aethia and Togarth north to bring the remaining bandits to justice for attacking Ambroton. The group succeeded in this with minimal casualties to themselves except from an incident. Togarth Shnizm attacked Kriv in his cursed sword fulled rage during the attack against the bandit leader in a ruined monestary north of the town. The attack was accidental but Togarth did not appologise to the leader of the town guard. The Teifling was later arrested by Kriv and the town guard, his weapon confiscated and sentenced to five years imprisonment.

As reward for his defence of the town and perhaps to sooth hurt feeling from the vote Kriv was given the rank of Marshal under the newly formed Republic. He along with his counterpart from Hoogewarden, Ariana Melo, would be in charge of all the Middlelands military decisions.

The Church of Eilistraee welcomed a new cleric into their ranks, Aethia Krureth fulfilled her goal of joining the Sword Dancers Order. The Church continued their work to rescue the Drow refugees from the Underdark who are fleeing to the surface. Based in the village of Nightwood and partly supported by funding from the Ath'urilan Kingdom to the south, the followers of the dancing Goddess continue their work. Aethia took up residence in the adventurers guild in Ambroton, here she developed a clost friendship with Bryn Avakiir.

IV continued his work with Bishop Rittingham for the Church of Om, along with Duos the man, Oskar Holz and Benito Fraioli. IV and the bishop had bigger plans for the Church in the Middlelands, the warforged cleric put forward to Marshal Kriv that Welton could be given to Om and funding be provided to form a holy militia. Kriv was not agreeable to the idea at that time. IV also took time from his duties to travel to Littlerootby where he had the Halfling tinkerers work on improvements to his cart, what IV travelled back to Ambroton on could no longer be called a mere cart.

Roberto Angier, his pride wounded after his defeat during the duel of magicians, found some comfort in the arms of Siora Quicaryn. However ultimately he needed to leave Ornthas, so he left for his familial manor to the north. He had perhaps changed his mind on selling the estate, or thought it would be worth more once restored to its former glory. During the following months he hired a butler, Idris Binner, an elderly Dwarf as a companion and confidant. Something drew him to the town of Ambroton, perhaps his past adventure had awoken a need for excitement and the adventurers guild would offer this, or perhaps the chance to make a bigger name for himself in a newly formed republic.

Fillmore Botello stayed in Ornthas a few months, and visited his daughter Felicia in Southfalls throughout the summer. He would then return to Ambroton to continue his work with the adventurers guild which he had left in the care of Bryn Avakiir. Fillmore would travel back and forth from surrounding towns and kingdoms with the aim of forming stronger diplomatic bonds. Nax Dreadgibber would follow the wizard to Ambroton as he awaited his next instruction from the Church of Om.

Sir Ernst Einsplatz, now Baron Ernst took up his residence in his manor house in the Barony of Hosland gifted to him by Queen Ciliren Magren for his deeds in Southfalls. Perhaps finally finding peace and retirement from a life of combat.

Count Drowcular would on occassion descent from his mountain city of Orynheim into the neighbouring settlements to conduct business, it was by chance on one of these trips to purchase honey that he witnessed the arrest of Togarth.
