But if that news did not shake the world, the anouncment of the first new laws of the reining New Emperor certainly did.Darhaan just made it to Faunt and had been staying in the shadowed alleys of the too large city trying to find out what he can do, when he comes across a family of half-orcs looking to leave the city. In helping them dodge the potrols set in the street, he learns from them that there is a meeting in the Sleeping Maiden for those that would refute this new Emperor and his laws. The meeting is tonight and he gets directions to it from the family when he bids them farewaell in his own unique manner.Aramil was traveling from the bourders of his home in search of adventure when he heard the news of the laws. Without delay, he rushed to the capital looking for excitement. Once reaching the city, he hid from the forces of the guard while trying to figure out what to do. He had found a hotel room that did not mind housing him even with his race. The inn was ran by a family of half-orcs, of all people, but it was the best he could find. The other places that he looked into called the patrol the first opertunity they got. The place he is staying is called the Sleeping Maiden.Dylan, though not really effected by the news except for the odvious changes to his carrier, walked the streets openly, but was still looking for work. He happened to find it in the inn of a family of half-orcs who could afford the head tax, he supposed. Either way, no other bards were willing to play at the inn for fear that it would cause them trouble with those loyal to the Emperor (who ever that was), so it paid well, and it kept him busy. The inn was called the Sleeping Maiden.Nilbalion found himself in the shadow of the EMperor's laws in Faunt, and has been trapped there since the law was passed. Or Shar wanted him there, for every attempt to leave had been block by seeming coincidences. What ever the case, that evening he found himself in the deepening shadows of evening, in the shadows of a building looking at the back door of an inn. He feels a great desire to enter and get a table, but each time he had even try to get food in this city has been met with near disaster, so he's not sure if he should proceed. He ponders what to do as the feeling of urgency builds in his breast.Xanthas , having hit a streak of bad luck plays with his silvered dagger in the Sleeping Maiden looking for the man who had said he would meet him here with a job. Boy, that's what he needed, and he was here, but no guy! Looking around the large common area, the half-orc waitresses still catch him by surprise, and for once he feels very little pull to pinch them as they pass. Where was that man? Could one of the people at the other tables be the contact that the man had told him about? There wre at least 3 other fighting men in the inn. Perhaps one of them?Lenya was anctious to leave Faunt, but had not found the means to do so. She had found welcome in an inn of half-orc of all things, and it seems that they did not mind that she seemed not to have been able to pay for the last nights stay, and insist that she stay there for free. They asked her to come down that evening to have a meal on them... and to hear a proposition that may intregue her, whatever that ment. On pressing the innkeeper, he suddonly became quiet and just said that she should come. Well, the law was bound to pull the strangest companions together.Kinden was woken by a Brother of Pelor saying that he had just heard news of a rebelion, and that there was to be a meeting tonight at the Sleeping Maiden. The Order had decided to send a represenitive and asked if Kinden was interested. Hearing that he was, they gave him an amulet and told him that it was blessed by Pelor to help the one that wore it to determine the motives of others. Taking the amulet and telling the brothers that he would return with news if he could, Kinden went in search of the inn, hoping it wasn't a trap.It's now 6:30 PM in the middle of fall and darkeness is just falling.</blockquote>
