[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 3752970, member: 2012"] The next few posts will show the various rumors and news handouts I've given my players, for my Order of the Silver Hand campaign. The campaign has gone way beyond what the SCAP was about. The PCs have managed to defeat the Cagewrights, but now they are dealing with the aggressive nature of several neighboring states that took advantage of Cauldron's troubles to move in and annex Cauldron City. Once that is over, I'm hoping the PCs will delve deeper into my own campaign hooks, and take the game to who-knows-where. [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Rumors and News I: In Early 749 N.C.[/B][/COLOR] [B]The Month of Anon (1st)[/B] 1) It is rumored that war is breaking out on the Storm Peninsula (to the southwest), which isn't unusual as the city-states in that area tend to constantly skirmish with each other. However, part of the rumor talks about evil humanoids from the Storm Jungle as being the aggressors. 2) There is rumor floating around Cauldron City that a king from one of the lands of the Eastern Shore has been possessed by some evil force. It is said that he mutters to himself constantly and his touch inflicts a freezing curse. 3) Danger threatens to consume all the western lands of the Thunder Lands. The orcs of the great mountain known as “The Fortress” are planning to attack Cauldron and Anoria. Some whisper that guards on patrol in the hills between Fortress Mountain and the Kul Moren Mountains have even heard war drums and chanting.
