Dragonrise, Part 1

### 7th - 12th of Bloom

*Across the worlds, old wyrms are rising from their caverns and lairs. They have felt the call of Bahamut, and the loosing of their chains. Some mortal folk rejoice at this event, knowing what a boon it will be against the forces of darkness. Other's despair, knowing that these dragons will only disrupt their own powers and plans. But most are merely confused; apparently there was a dragon down in the old copper mine?!? And now that it's awake, it doesn't want to eat us?!? The metallics, for their part, have little interest in mortal confusion, and are set on regaining the roles they held in the age of war.*

This is a **renown roll week**. Make sure to take a positive renown roll for each medium or large building which you operate in a city, and a negative roll for each community in which you have neither a statue or monument.

**New Content -** The **Oath of the Wyrmguard** subclass has been unlocked for Paladins. The **Circle of Scale and Wing** has been unlocked for druids. The Dragonborn race has been upgraded. Whenever you build a dragonborn in the future, select from the following subclasses: **Oldscale, Hierac, Wandering Prince,** and **Cursed**.

**The Great Census -** I would like a list of All Buildings that that compact currently benefits from, the names and total salaries of workers working in them, and who is paying those salaries. I will give out XP for those that take the lead collating this work. After, I will note cases where retired characters are still paying wages for buildings they don't personally benefit from, and we will negotiate takeover of those buildings or some other form of compensation paid to them.

**Cultivation Event:** The skys are clear and bright, the weather warm and dry this week. All cultivation checks are made with advantage.

**Social Event** – On the 29th, the New Tidelighters will celebrate First Hunt, (known to many from more agricultural communities as Sower's Break), a festival of thanks for the safe return of the growing earth. They are specifically holding the event in the Truewood, and inviting mousefolk to attend. Outsiders require 7 NT or Kiore renown to attend. At the event, there will be a ceremonial hunt (the boar population in the Truewood has gotten a bit too high), a feast, and a night full of songs. This is also a traditional event for young dragonborn to meet other young dragonborn outside of their clan, though it's not yet clear what that will mean in this context.

**Nerulla's Triangle** - Saphira Goldhammer offers 17 gold to any group that can kill the Hydra seen in the Triangle and return with one of its heads and its heart.

**Manufacture Pits** - Lin'dsey offers 10 gold in credit and a rack of 18 healing potions to whoever can destroy the poison titan beneath the badlands.

**Dragonfall Lodge:** Now that Nexrin has set out for Memrix, many of the Vaxilondrav want to send material support out West to join the cause. They are interested in buy weapons, particularly magical ones, for this purpose.

**New Tidelight News:** This has been a momentous week for Clan Vaxilondrav, perhaps the most momentous in living memory. Over the course of the week, New Tidelight has been visited by three different dragons, and the clan gifted with a relic from Refuge by its former leader, the great dragon Emervox. And even more exciting is the news that the freed metallic dragons will be aiding the dragonborn back on Memrix.

But with so much excitement, a spot of sadness and worry remains. One of the clan's heroes, Nexrin Farseeker, has gone suddenly back to Memrix, called away by a dragon to challenge an army. Many of the clanfolk assumed he would go back, given his convictions. But his sudden departure left little time for celebration and goodbyes, and his parents in particular are torn between pride for their son, and worry that he remains in danger.

The basic fare at the Lodge is rotisserie pork. The specialty fare is fisherman's pie. In addition, Kaxus will be making a massive dragon-shaped cake to celebrate.

**Council Docket:** The council is considering a doubling of the Wellwatch budget to respond to growing threats from across the inkwells. Madeira, Jamie, and Mara have expressed support, while the Merchants, who would foot much of the bill, will stand opposed.

**Market News -** The price of dragonsbane has almost doubled to 500 GP per unit, and is expected to remain high until more sources are found.

**Weather:** Mother Dalxar predicts beautiful weather, cool but comfortable with plenty of sun. This puts her in a rather sour mood.
