21 Flamerule 1500 DR
Suzail - A trading cog arrived overnight in
Suzail.
Such dockings are discouraged for the danger of navigating by night (though the docks remain reasonably well lit) and to keep ships from ignoring Crown law.
Hastily mustered Purple Dragons were dispatched, presumably to remind the ship’s captain of the rules she’d broken. In lieu of shouts and a promise of arrest, the Dragons instead were seen to haul away two shipping crates by means of a wagon, on which a tired looking Wizard of War sat with a wand at the ready.
Rumor on
Suzail’s docks claims the pair of crates offloaded by night carried entirely different things. The first held sea elf skulls with jaws bound in gold, while the second held parchment of fine quality and make (to be used in mage’s spellbooks, folk claim).
Some of the ship’s crew disembarked alongside
The Purple Dragons, but all of them returned to their ship within an hour. The cog departed Suzail one bell before sunrise, destination unknown.
In wider Suzail, tavern talk has put the number of adventuring companies in Suzail upwards of seventy five.
Some of these adventurers (and not a few of their noble sponsors) are complaining of long waits at
The Royal Court to see royal scribes in order to pay for and receive their adventuring charters.
The Crown has since increased the number of scribes on duty and left one (heavily guarded) entrance to
The Royal Court open at all hours to adventurers seeking a charter.
