Roarkian 14th, 480 CE:

Getting lost while trying to find help is bound to make anyone a
frustrated, weeping mess, right? Poor girl, this Moana Cracy, she
arrived in quite the state of upset already. Things were uncertain when
our own Heart of the Crescendo, Marquessa Xeii Shevat, could not calm
the woman but as we learned of her story, it was understandable. She
became a tracker after the destruction of her family home by orcs, who
we now know are the same that inhabit Mount Krog and assail previous
citizens of our Beacon of Harmony. At this, my own heart went out to the
girl.

Marquis Nelras Shevat and Marquessa Kendra Zayah did their best to
console her in order to hear her full story. Apparently, she stole proof
of the orcs in Mount Krog being aided by a new ally, a stronger ally,
and supplied a staff for evidence to Chairman Falaeron Shevat. Her
initial wariness of the kind and gentle Heart was due to a poor
experience in Talthos, where she was given the blueprints for a tracking
device but otherwise told to 'get lost' with her 'human problems'. We in
the Collective are of course protective of our own and would wish to aid
the lucidians isolated in Mount Krog, so she came here, apparently
hesitant to come originally. Unfortunately, those blueprints required a
vast sum of our resources, including the corpses of every orc of the
current generation living in Mount Krog...

Roarkian 15th, 480 CE:

Emissary Shedrin Windwhisper and the Chairman discussed the proposal
behind closed doors, but they judiciously decided to look into it first,
before spending our hard-earned coin on a goose hunt!

Witnesses saw Intern Yehn Windwhisper, Marquessa Xeii Shevat and
Marquessa Kendra Zayah leave to consult the villagers in Talthos where
Klu'athic Adom confirmed knowledge of Moana Cracy and that he did indeed
provide the blueprints, though admitted little knowledge of the
contents. Thanking him, Intern Yehn Windwhisper left the group to
investigate Mount Krog, where she discovered a nefarious result. The
leader, Kralg, proclaimed the power to banish the lucidians at-will and
betrayed the ability with the Intern as witness.

Investigations complete, Chairman Falaeron Shevat was satisfied and
declared death for the orcs of Mount Krog. While he retrieved the
necessary supplies, Marquis Gero embarked on a mission of genocide.

Roarkian 16th, 480 CE:

With every orc in the machine, I hear tell, it revealed a viscanti in
robes. None have been able to identify the figure in question, though I
understand Intern Yehn Windwhisper continues the search in earnest. If
such an enemy is allying with the orcs in Mount Krog, Hallifax may very
well be next, right?

Urlachmar 4th, 480 CE:

I got to know that Moana Cracy real well while she rested in the
Institute dormitories. She's quite the tracker! Though most people get
lost in the city, she mastered it real quick, especially at night. She
says tracking by the stars is easier than just the sun, I might need to
try it some time.

I gossiped with her a bit about the latest news in the city, she wanted
to learn anything and everything she could. Such a quick study. We
giggled over Overseer Maligorn Shevat drooling on himself after one of
those nasty Gaudiguchians pranked him with some weird rainbow pill. She
seems VERY interested in this story, how much the pill affected the
Overseer and whether the Gaudiguchian got the same dose. She found it
amusing so we talked even more over the next few days while she explored
the city.

Finally! Lady Zyphora Windwhisper approved Moana's citizenship
application. I was so pleased! She told me, she was so very grateful to
Marquis Nelras Shevat for writing it up, and Minister Orventa Trueflight
for the friendly chat and assistance too. I am so glad we live in
Hallifax and that we're citizens now. I'll feel less bad about gossiping
with her.

Like about that time... the Board... oh, well, I guess I shouldn't write
that on paper!

Urlachmar 11th, 480 CE:

The lower wards are in a tizzy! Straight from the mouth of Lafu
Longplume himself, Moana Cracy did us a grand favour. She found one of
those Gaudguchian scoundrels and kidnapped him here in a big ol' sack!
She's super strong for such a small thing.

Overseer Maligorn Shevat, Emissary Shedrin Windwhisper and Chairman
Falaeron Shevat with the Marquessa Aramel Shevat (his wife, you know!)
interrogated the foul-mouthed thing for HOOURS. But, Oh-My-Word, that
spindly thing squeaked past Moana and Lafu to escape... NAKED. Oh what
an awful sight, he left his robes behind and everything! I don't know
what they did in their interrogations, but Lafu said it wasn't pretty
and the language of the creature, worse yet!
