Brightshore

The Nicked Rock is a (mostly) safe place to share a cheap drink, stay a night or two, and hear a good tale. Although stories trade as good as copper in many parts of Brightshore, a few denizens of the Nicked Rock make it a point to keep track of all the rumors to be had

A number of threats seems to always be on the edge of the city of Brightshore. Fallwood, a local healer and tinkerer, has made a mostly public collection of them, divided by category

• Fallwood enountered Marco summoning multiple demons in an underground chamber in the Ruins outside the city.

• Encountered small army (300ish) of Red-Band goblins three days outside of Brightshore in what is dubbed the Main Street of the ruins. Goblins have a single king and signs of interactions with demons and demonic rituals
• Goblins seen working with hags south of Brightshore. Hags killed but state of goblins unknown. (Zentariel).
• UPDATED: Goblin warchief, Magu, with a metal construct from the Battle of Brightshore is living with the Hobgoblin army, the Stalwart Shields. Possibly attempting new recruits.(Errol, Baern, and Max).
• Stalwart Shields ambassador killed in Brightshore. Shields now setting up to attack the city. (Max).

• UPDATED: The Blue Dragon has been slain but the many kobolds working for the dragon are an unknown. (Baern)

• Fallwood and others encountered a mysterious man with blond hair and green eyes calling himself “The Oracle”.
• Encountered large pair of eyes appeared in the air inside a crypt one day east of Brightshore. Referred to Finn (RIP) as “Exarp” (potentially misspelled).

• Kinstugi Tower lite up and created a blast wave. No cause discovered as of yet.
• Possible cult members from the cult of kraken wandering around Brightshore. Leader (male human) goes by “Ozymandias,” another leader male elf who called himself “Bayleaf,” and an aggressive human as tall as a Goliath named “Ogman.” (Baern) “Ozymandias” attempted to enter the sacred fountain at the Temple of Olteus, but was stopped. “Bayleaf” was seen with him.
