Reports 8/18/2021

While on a rescue mission to the Veiled Kingdom, and island that is known to sink beneath the fogline at night, while attempting to rescue fleeing citizens from the overcome island - hours ticked by and it became night during the rescue effort, and shortly after the fogline rose, the skycutter, fleeing Veiled citizens and Charon's elite dragonriders came under massive attack. The Skycutter was nearly destroyed and had to flee with those it could rescue, and General Charon and Captain Collie Madfang were greivously wounded.

The skycutter is heavily damage and it will likely be some time before it will be flight-worthy again.

While they have recovered and many Veiled Kingdom citizens were rescued, it is the crown's order that all currently planned expeditions and all future expeditions should be, for the time, being, cancelled. Until the reason for the mass-scale attack and a countermeasure can be developed, it is UNSAFE for any exploration of the fogline to be done.

Lucient has been sentenced by Captain Amalia Solis; he is not to be served alcohol within the city for the duration of the fog conflict, or until told otherwise, and additionally will be required to assist/work at the tavern until damages are paid.

No further sentencing will be made at this time, in light of Lucient's recent service in the defense of the Empire.

Reports 7/27/2021

Reports 7/22/2021

A group consisting of Ascari, Jendayi, Lucient, Alyndra and Navaru responded to the apartments in the city. It was determined that an eldritch growth had formed in the bottom room, unfortunately resulting the death of it's resident and the dissapearance of Rena, another resident who responded to the scene earlier. The corruption was purged and all residents were evacuated.

It has come to the attention of the Empire's officials that an Eldritch tome owned by one Padma Vux, kept in the safekeeping of Abbadon, has been stolen and used to enact a catastrophic ritual which has resulted in major consequences both across the Empire, and across the Skylands itself.

The book was in safekeeping until Abbadon reported that the book began destroying magical seals and otherwise defying containment - it was transported to Vheljen's laboratory, which is known as a magically secure location.

The following individuals were invited:

Relina, Headmistress of the Academy

Padma, Artifact Researcher of the Academy, previous owner of the book

Rael Becker, Assistant Artifact Researcher of the Academy

Daliyah, former empress of lismore and magical expert

Kian, prince of Lismore and magical expert

Sometime into deliberation on how to contain the book, Rael Becker suggested wrapping the book in cloth soaked in holy oil to assist with containment. Those present agreed - when Rael approached the book, he used it to enact extraordinarily powerful magic, which he used to repel and subdue all present. He 'absorbed' the book into his chest, before using some form of strange magic to 'meld' into the ground, at which point he was not seen again.

Shortly after, witnesses across the Empire report a great feeling of unease, pockets of misty substance appearing and dissapearing across the Empire, and a flash of light in the distance. Since this time, pockets of mist/fog with tendrils on them have been spotted and appear to, at times, be depositing hostile creatures in public areas. As a result, the Empire, with the exception of the Temple, which seems immune to these fog-pockets, should be deemed unsafe, and it would be advisable for people to remain in groups, and armed and ready for combat.

As of the time of talking, there have been three related fog-attacks, which are, and which all future instances of will be tracked in this document: https://sculptyworks.com/lismore/index.php?topic=2831.0
