[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5904188, member: 75065"] [sblock=Streetwise DC 8; Requires Active Roll] The neighbouring island of Elestial is in a state of open conflict which is affecting trade around the Crystal Isles, in particular coffee, tobacco, spices and foodstuffs. [sblock=Streetwise DC 10] The conflict stems from tensions between the natives of the town of Crystalbrook and the elves of the nearby Sildaine Forest. [sblock=Streetwise DC 12]The conflict has escalated over the course of a year. Each side claims innocence and faults the other. But the conflict has spilled over to reduce trade from the island to a trickle, many of the crops falling prey to malicious sabotage. [sblock=Streetwise DC 16] For a year, unnatural winds and mists have battered the area around Crystal brook. Worse, bizarre blue-skinned fey creatures have emerged from the fog to pillage and murder. Townsfolk blame these misfortunes on the fey of the nearby Sildaine Forest. The fey claim innocence, faulting Crystalbrook's people for hidden black magic that has attracted the wrath of primal spirits. Crystalbrook's warriors trespass into the forest to hunt game and the mist monsters, but such intrusions lead inevitably to clashes with elf forest wardens. Townspeople have bullied and cheated fey visitors. Brash fey have stolen livestock from outlying farms, played harmful pranks and destroyed crops. Sildaine elves tax caravans heavily on the main routes which all pass through the forest. Travelers have been harassed along nearby roads, resulting in several deaths, countless injuries, and more accusations. [sblock=Streetwise DC 20]Nearly two weeks ago, Orlando-son of Lady Anya Tamora, ruler of Crystalbrook-went missing. On the same day, an elf maiden named Juliana vanished. She happens to be the daughter of Lord Carric, chief among the Sildaine elves. The loss of and search for the missing youths has taken the fire out of Lady Tamora and Lord Carrico. Both recently appealed to the ruler of Sybar, Count Varis, for mediation and aid. Hoping to maintain stability in the region, Count Varis has sent out a call for adventurers.
