January 2015: Justice for Haze

Celebrations: The Kingdom of Gotterdammerung held a small ceremony to usher in the new year. It was apparently foreseen that this will be a year of creation and progress in crafting endeavors.

Deaths: During the battle with Haze our previous Herald of Winter and a staunch voice of reason in Freehold, the soldier known as Ich Bin, fell. He was later revived via the Soul Well. Pendrakken’s Gawaine also fell victim to an attack of undead, though he was later resurrected.

Important events: A concert was held to benefit the Library. It was reported that the town was able to raise a great deal of money with which to offset the damage done by Fang-Zhara’s forces. I know this humble scholar is eternally grateful for the efforts of all involved and those who donated.

An outlaw from Ixia, Haze, was brought to justice for the assassinations of over a dozen ambassadors and officials. He will no longer be terrorizing Freehold or Midworld.

Birth announcements: No new children were known to be born into Freehold this moon. Please feel free to contact the staff of the Freehold Journal to announce the joy of a new life entering this wonderful world.

November 2014: The Fall of Fang-zhara

Celebrations: While no holidays were observed during this moon’s events, there was a small concert given which was overseen by Maeve of Fir’ Bolg.

Deaths: There was much traveling of the spirit realm this moon. Though the price of victory was high, no one has passed from Midworld this moon, save for Fang-Zhara’s troops. I, for my own small part, count this as a huge victory.

Important events: This month saw great victories and terrible losses in Freehold. The people of Freehold assisted several employees of Trustworth Securities (TM) in repairing both the forge and the alchemy lab that had been previously damaged by attacks from the vile Immortal Fang-Zhara.

This victory, however sweet, was soon tainted by the stench of war. The forces of the so-called architect of souls attacked just past mid-day. The Freefolk rose up to meet the challenge of this juggernaut army that had given even the mighty and just King Arcturus difficulty on the field of battle and were largely successful. We were able to save most of the vital points of the town, though, as previously mentioned the cost was high. Let us never forget the unity we showed that day. FOR FREEHOLD!

Speaking of the fiend and her constructs of malice and hate, Fang-Zhara herself was reported to have been successfully sealed back in her phylacteries by a contingent of brave souls during a bloody battle with the beast. In a plan orchestrated by our wonderful companions in the Brotherhood of the Shield and Cross, we were able to defeat this terribly powerful foe and her armies.

The Solari were also reported to have been seen. They allegedly threatened to unleash powerful magics upon the area of Freehold if the immortal was not beaten. While we did defeat the vile creature, many are unsure if this was an empty threat or deadly promise. More disturbing, to this reporter, is that if they are able to deliver on this boast, will they attack in the near future. Only time will tell. Be vigilant on the trails, my friends!

Again the Coven of Freehold was key in aiding our world by awakening the Spirits of Winter and laying the patient Spirit of Autumn to rest for another year. In a curious ceremony, the herald was chosen to be Ulrik Grimswolf, Thane of the Sons of Winter and Envoy of the Kingdom of Jotunbrud.

October 2014: The Blood Lords

Celebrations: October did not have any large celebrations occur. If you’re planning a celebration, please let the staff of the Freehold Journal know so that we may publicize the event and make it a success!

Deaths: Beloved town member and proprietor of Teslavich’s Tradin’ Post, Maynard Teslavich, finally lost his battle with vampirism. Please pay your respects by raising a glass of Loonshine.

Important events: A group of vampires, called Blood lords by some, attacked Freehold and were put down. Though the cost was great, we were triumphant.

The refinery that had previously been running at a limited capacity due to an attack by the vile forces of the Dusken Vale is now back to full functionality.

That being said, we are sad to report that Fang-Zhara took the opportunity of an exhausted Freehold to attack the Inn. She was able to destroy both the workshop and the apothecary. Hopefully, we will be able to rebuild these two vital elements to the town quickly, as they are vital in fending off any future attacks.
