Last Days of Autumn
In the waning days of autumn, the ebb and flow of life's intricate dance plays out in the realm of Boldhome.
The Duel That Never Was
Erik, a lone sentinel at the Dragon's Gate, awaited Broar's long-anticipated challenge. The whispers of general consensus painted Erik's cause as just, yet Broar was a phantom, absent from the field of honor.
Money Issues
Broar and the steadfast Ten-thane Quatlu ventured into the realm of coin, acquiring new loans from the moneylenders. In a twist of fiscal wisdom, Ten-thane Ondureen sought financial liberation by extinguishing a debt. Quatlu, on the other hand, employed a portion of his newfound wealth to vanquish an old burden.
Appointments
The noble realm of Boldhome witnessed reappointments as King Argrath restored Leikan the Mayor as City Administrator, entrusting Orstalor Spearlord with the mantle of City Warmaster. In the dance of titles, Warking Gananvar Tolaison appointed Lt Warlord Gar Tongstesson of Mularik's Company his aide. However, the city crier met an ignoble fate, replaced after announcing identical appointments two turns in a row.
Rhosyn, her heart aflame with ambition, pursued the position as an aide to a Dinacoli Drighten, yet her endeavors were met with the fickle hand of fate. Broar, Erik, Johannes, Quatlu, Ondureen, and Rufus all sought appointments as aides to various leaders and nobles but were met with vacant positions. Their yearning for roles of honor and influence remains unfulfilled.
Cult Ranks
Ondureen embarked on a mission to persuade a steadfast God-talker of the Babeester Gor cult to step down, though even Lady Terdisdaughter's influence could not sway the decision. Afur's dreams of rising to the esteemed position of God-talker in the cult of Ernalda were thwarted, and Erinestra's hopes for a promotion to God-talker in the cult of Issaries remained unattained. Broar was initiated into the sacred cult of Chalana Arroy, his soul now aligned with the path of healing.
Goings On in Boldhome
Amidst the bustling streets of the city, Dararda's presence was but a fleeting moment in the winter season, as she volunteered for the Balkoth tribal levy. Quatlu found solace and purpose among the regulars at Erinestra's Emporium Extraordinaire. Meanwhile, Broar, Orlkastar, and Erik indulged in the allure of conspicuous consumption, with Erik acquiring saddle soap from Erinestra's, revealing the wide spectrum of desires in their hearts. Ondureen sought refuge at Fantarn's, becoming a regular patron of the establishment, while Quatlu found his sanctuary amidst the tomes and secrets at The Scribbled Scroll. As Rhosyn yearned for respite from her cult duties, her request met an unyielding denial, as the forces of tradition remained unwavering in their hold.

The Front
Fighting the Tusk Riders
The warriors of the Colymar Tribal Levy, with Hundred-thane Afur leading Squadron 2 of the Colymar Cavalry attached to it, embarked on field operations to confront the menacing Tusk Riders within the treacherous Stinking Forest. With valor and determination, they purged the area of the Tusk Riders, driving them away like shadows dispersing before the dawn. The outcome of Hundred-thane Afur's performance was inconclusive, but the echoes of his deeds resounded in the verses of battlesongs, etching his name into the annals of valor.
Warrior Julian, fought as a stalwart member of the tribal levy. His heroism and courage earned him a place in the very same battlesongs, and as a fitting tribute, he relieved the vile foes of their ill-gotten treasures, like a righteous guardian of the realm.
Bagnot
In the tumultuous saga of Bagnot, the Kheldon Tribal Levy, marching in unison with the 3rd battalion of Goldgotti's Company, answered the call to assault the Lunar forces that had been harrying the countryside. The conflict ended in an impasse, and, in the wake of battle, the levy Warlord fell in honorable combat. Amidst the chaos and valor, Ten-thane Grumbold's name was woven into the verses of battlesongs, his bravery and leadership held in high regard.
Snakepipe Hollow
A tale of valor unfolded in the heart of Snakepipe Hollow, as the Sun Dome Templars were tasked with laying siege to a Chaos horde ensconced within a minor cave. In a display of unwavering resolve, they emerged victorious, expelling the taint of Chaos from every nook and cranny of the cave. Yet, the cost of victory was not without sacrifice, as Subaltern Rewolf laid down his life in the name of purity and righteousness.
Simultaneously, the Balkoth Tribal Levy, with courage blazing like a bonfire, assaulted the accursed altar dedicated to Cacodemon, the lord of chaos. Their determination and valor were rewarded with triumph, though the price was heavy, with Warrior Dararda making the ultimate sacrifice.
Slavewall
In the epic struggle of Slavewall, Mularik's Company answered the call to assault Lunar positions, poised for a counterattack. Alas, the Lunar defenses held strong, and the assault met with repulsion. Amidst the storm of battle, Ten-thane Rufus's deeds were celebrated in the melodies of battlesongs, and he ascended to the rank of Hundred-thane.
