New Knight of Owl Well to be chosen.Dear Reader,It helps to have a good map of Cormyr. You can find one <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Cormyr" target="_blank">here</a>.On with the show!HILLMARCH - A rowdy brawl inside the Blazing Pick—one of several taverns populating the mining town of Hillmarch—saw tables overturned and chairs used as weapons. One unfortunate miner made an unlucky swing that missed his intended target and struck Lady Jaleskreene Lionsyn square in the bosom instead. Lady Jaleskreene was thrown backward onto the blazing embers of a hearth fire used for warming the hearty soups sold by the handkeg to the Pick’s guests. In lieu of screams and agony, the noblewoman’s eyes glowed a boiling amber hue as she calmly picked herself up off the embers, selected a sturdy-looking chair, and hurled it at the miner. As ever, much blood and ale was spilled.SUZAIL - At this evening’s “Informed Gathering” within the lofty first floor of Dragonhaven, the subject of the Knight of Owl Well was put to the gathering’s host, the sage Farlthast, owing to the Knight’s brief appearance at court the day prior. According to Falrthast, the Knight of Owl Well is an unusual title, of the sort that it is passed between members of noble houses, specifically the oldest houses of Marsember whose families extend back to the days when the city was independent of Cormyr, and then only among the women of those families. “The Keskrels of Marsember have borne the weight of this responsibility for one hundred and sixty consecutive years. All that time a Keskrel has patrolled the Hermit’s Woods, ensuring none of the horrors that lurk in its heart escape, and rescued lost travelers from its depths. The Lady Knight’s announcement at court means the mantle of responsibility has shifted from her shoulders to another. I quite wonder if the other houses remember the burden their daughters share?”</blockquote>
