Viden
COMMUNITY NOTICES, BOUNTIES, & RUMORS
Across the region, within every tavern, is a massive board full of listings that are taken from or added to the parchment stuffed wall daily. There is no shortage of odd jobs within Viden, as it seems almost everyone could use a helping hand with something. For today, however, these are recently pinned up for claiming by citizens and adventurers.
OOC Note: Please post to this thread if you're claiming an odd job, rumor, or bounty. You can also suggest possible jobs for future postings or make one yourself if your character needs help with something!

The Intelligence Authority is seeking information about a Yludih criminal believed to be smuggling narcotics and bootleg alcohol through the city. This criminal is thought to be using Viden as a base of operations before moving her stock elsewhere as there have only been a few cases brought to the Infirmary with spiked alcohol. She is not believed to be physically dangerous but she is a shapeshifter and a manipulator so those dealing with her are advised to approach her with caution. Her known forms are those of an Ellune and a buxom, redheaded human about 5 foot in height. She is believed to use a number of alias but the only name known is 'Smoke'.
Reward:yes

Thieves among the merchants- Merchants from all over the city find their important documents have been taken. They suspect the items will be used for forgery.

Risk: Low

The rangers put out a bounty for the hide and tusks of a dire boar. It has been seen close to the entrance of the city. They stress the danger of going alone and suggest a party attempt to take on the old beast.

The Mer are a constant threat to Viden, not just to the physical safety of those who travel on the waters or near them, but also to the city's economic prosperity. Merchants and visitors to the city are quite reliant on the use of Synnefa Bay and the Hollow Sea further to the north and while we Mariners do our utmost to keep everyone safe, we would greatly appreciate any and all assistance in keeping these malicious creatures away from our waters. Thus, we offer a handsome reward for anyone who kills Mer and brings proof of their kill - a head should suffice.
- Risk: low to high
If anyone travels that way, the southern section of Synnefa Bay are often rampant with Mer.
Rewards: Mariners will provide varying rewards for the number of heads brought in.
Low reward: 10 heads
Medium reward: 25 heads
High reward: 40+ heads

Rumours
.
It is said that there is a special book in the Prime Atheneum, one that contains an odd message scrawled on the inside of the back cover. Some say it's nonsense, others say that it was written by a treasure hunter who hid his secrets there for his associates. If true, it might hold the key to discovering treasure or some other secrets infinitely more valuable. It is said to be scrawled at the back of a book about the Tundra.
