Fleet of the Vengeful Tempest
Found In: Eastern Hollow Sea (Near the mer incubation facility, Deori. Sot has the bounty on them.) History: The Mer have been quiet in recent seasons, and there's a reason for it. The crew of the Vengeful Tempest is reputedly led by a Chrien Blessed man, who is charged by his mistress to purge the Akktava tribe from the seas. Chrien's reasons for calling a Reisah against her own creations is unknown, as is her choice of tool for the carrying out of this purpose. All anyone knows is that the Commodore of this three-ship fleet (Commodore Gralkin) has decided to make it his mission to purge the waters of the Akktava, and that he bears the adored mark of Rusalkis. Crimes: Poaching the eggs of mer from Deori. He's suspected of using mer crew members or some other manner of infiltrating the underwater facility. He's also known for hunting the mer like any fisherman would trap a school of fish. He has deadly, bladed nets that are used to great effect for this purpose, installed on his mother ship, The Blue Slaughter. The smaller ships in his fleet are equipped each with a ballista, armed with massive harpoons, or else stoneshot. Bounty Price: Negotiated with Sot of Deori. One must find a way into the underwater facility first. Renown: Locally Renown. Other Information:
Commodore Gralkin
Name: Commodore Gralkin Created by: Woe Race: Eidisi Birthday/Age: 56th of Ymiden 645 Marks: Rusalkis, Adored (3) Title: Commodore (Commander of a handful of ships) Location: Eastern Scalvoris and the Hollow Seas. Skills:
Master: Hunting, Combat: Whip (cat of nine tails).
Expert: Navigation, Seafaring.
Competent: Intimidation, Swimming. Details: Commodore Gralkin is an eidisi of significant stature, standing at around 6'10, with long arms and legs. His skin is pale blue and doesn't bear any visible scars. He wears a perpetual scowl on his face, and rules his crew with an iron fist, punishing any dissent with his cat of nine tails.
Why he has a vendetta against the Akktava is anyone's guess, and there are a few rumors about it floating around. None of it is concrete, however, ranging from a lost treasure stolen by the Akktava, to genocidal hatred of the mer borne from earlier conflict.
Whatever the case, he commands the Blue Slaughter, a well-equipped Tallship armed with a single ballista and bladed fishing nets for slaughtering mer. He also has two captains commanding his other two ships, a pair of cogs also armed with singular ballistas.

Below are rumours which are to be found about different areas of Scalvoris. These have been informed by a number of things from both players and prophets. There are different types of rumour:
Leads
A lead is a rumour which could lead to adventure, moderated plots, treasure, all sorts of things!
Gossip
Gossip is a rumour which might have a kernel of truth in it, or might be a lie. It could lead to really helping, or harming someone, if you act on it.
Lies
A lie is a (usually) malicious rumour which can get you, or those it is about, into all sorts of trouble. Careful!
Which is which?
So - now that you know what types of rumours there are here, how do you tell the difference? Follow them and find out! As players "claim" these rumours, I will pm them with which of the three types of rumour it is - and any other information they might need. PCs can submit rumours here, also. Templates for both below the rumours themselves.
Which Ones Can I Just Know About?
Leave that to your own common sense. If you live in Scalvoris, you might feasibly have heard about ALL of them, if you're newly arrived less so. There is no restriction on which ones you've heard of - just on how many you can pursue at any time.
How Many Can I Investigate?
If you want to investigate these rumours, you need to claim them below. No more than TWO rumours per pc at a time, please! If you haven't started / done anything with the rumour within a month, it'll go back on to the board, where it might change into something else.
When You've Started The Thread
Please pm one of us with the link and I'll update this post! Enjoy! And you'd best hope that scandal doesn't come knocking on your door!

The shop was broken into at night and the slave who was sleeping in the shop was killed. OOC Requirements/ Notes: Multiple threads required. Hazard Level: High Timeframe: Ongoing Pay/ Reward: Successful return of the box: masterwork weapon of pc choice. Additional Info: Any other info?: Oram's brother Osric works for a smith in Scalvoris, so I was thinking this bounty might have a personal connection. Also, I was thinking that, since the smith in question is more the tinker/gadgeteer persuasion, the reward might take the form of something like some professionally-made bear traps or something? Or if a weapon, perhaps a crossbow?
Yarn Bomber Theo Zana
Bounty Name: #8 Yarn Bomber! Item Type: Adventure Location: Anywhere - Player Choice Thread in Gunvorton Details: An individual or individuals leave small hand-made (sewn, knitted, crocheted) toys and decorations all over the place in this area. They seem to be thoughtful gifts, left to brighten the day of whoever finds them, small fabric and yarn trinkets which should bring pleasure from a random act of anonymous kindness. However many of them are found to have nasty side effects - stuffing filled with itching powder, people getting sick after holding them etc. Some recipients fall seriously ill. This person must be stopped!! Skills Required: None OOC Requirements/ Notes: This can be a quirky or more serious thread, depending on what you prefer. Hazard Level: Low Timeframe: Ongoing Pay/ Reward: +1 WP to your next Wealth Thread. Additional Info:Self mod – have fun! ~ solo, collab, or GST!!!
Vigilantes Woe
Bounty Name: #6 Vigilante Justice Location: Throughout Scalvoris (mostly Scalvoris Town) Details: There are a small group of "caped crusaders" wearing masks and sporting strange costumes and capes who are acting outside the law. Yes, they've helped by leaving a number of criminals tied up on the doorsteps of Element Hall, but they seem to have a very loose definition of "criminal", and many of their victims are innocent citizens. Plus, they look silly. OOC Requirements/ Notes: Requires multiple threads Hazard Level: High Timeframe: Ongoing Pay/ Reward: +2 WP to next Wealth Thread. Additional Info:The Crystal Blade! - Woe will be operating on one of these bounties in Egilrun, against a vigalante known only as the Crystal Blade. It's unknown exactly whether it's a female or male, or what race they might be, but all that is known is that they're a skilled transmutation mage, as the sharpened, crystalline shackles they leave on the culprits have been shaped from magic, and degrade within a few days. Some of these 'culprits' have been high ranking members of the Glass Union, which has led to friction between the elements and the local craftsmen. The Glass Union has put out a bounty on the Crystal Blade, which was reluctantly forwarded by the local Elements. Woe's servant, Fleaface, picked up on the rumor/bounty and brought it back to Woe.
Oram - The Cow Murderer
Bounty Name: #7 The Cow Murderer Item Type: Adventure Location: Scalvoris Town Details: A local farmer is asking for help. A couple of trials ago, they found a dead cow at their farm.

The farmer has thus decided to ask someone to help them, and they are willing to give whoever stops those cow murders a handsome reward. Skills Required: None. Some combat skills could be helpful though. OOC Requirements/ Notes: None Hazard Level: Low to High, depending on what you do with this bounty. Timeframe: Ongoing Pay/ Reward: +1 WP Additional Info:Self mod – have fun! ~ solo, collab, or GST!!! Massive thanks to Doran for this Bounty!
Bounty Name: #2 Pirate Attacks Continue!

There appears to be someone who has 'inside information' about how the Elements work as the pirates have been able to avoid patrols and hit weak spots specifically. Who is providing the pirates with information? Where are they hiding out? A plea has gone out for anyone who can provide information. There have been a number of attacks and the kidnapping of young women and strong men. Someone has to stop these fiends! OOC Requirements/ Notes: Requires multiple threads Hazard Level: High Timeframe: Ongoing Pay/ Reward: +2 WP to next Wealth Thread. Additional Info: Solo, Collab, or GST!

Outcome: Oram goes to investigate rumors that Tarnborg, proprietor of the Lemon Messy, is a Mortal Born of Cassion. Finds out he is not, and it's just something he made up. Oram is now owed 1 favour by Tarnborg.

Outcome:[/b. Shl'drei has found that Stan is not a "conduit" to the Immortals. However, looking through that book of dates, etc tells him that there have been a lot of Immortal sightings here in this Temple. If even half of them are half true, it's still a lot.
