Stonebrunt Mountains Expedition in the Plannings

Meow.

The Kejekan Camp in the Cold Mountains of StoneBrunt

AKANON PALACE, AKANON- Heated meetings between His Majesty, King AkAnon, and a delegation from the Magiocracy of Erudin in regards to the Kerran guest of AkAnon, SrriKith, took place during the past week in AkAnon Palace. With the discovery of a new territory near the Warrens of Odus, the Erudites claim that with the new territory, they need a guide to this strange environs, and with the Kerran as a willing guide and diplomat, they would be able to help the Kerrans rumored to be there in their pursuits. King AkAnon disagreed, saying that if it were not for the diplomacy of the Horde with King Gragnar then SrriKith would still be a prisoner of the thrice-cursed Kobolds to this day. SrriKith had this to say about the entire incident: "Mrrowr. Scout? Ha! Lead the Erudites to my people? I think not. I know the kindness of the Erudite people. If you do not believe me, why do you not look into The Hole? That is a fine example of Erudite civility. Rrrrrowwwrrl..." Negotiations will be continuing throughout the week.

Erudite Jerk!

The Erudite Negotiators were more than vehement in retrieving what they considered 'their Kerran ambassador'.

It's PANDAmonium! Get it? Ha ha...(Well, I thought it was funny...)

Gathering of the Horde in Steamfont a Success!

Ooo...I'm SOOO EEEVEEELLL!

AKANON, FAYDWER- With more new recruits clamoring to join and officers mysteriously disappearing; Guild Leader Zendibus Stormweaver of the Catagnomic Horde of AkAnon hastily called together his guild under mysterious circumstances. However, the Hordes fears were laid to rest when Zendibus promoted a number of worthy gnomes to the position of Officer amidst the great applause of their friends and guildmates.
From its conception, the Hordes reputation has garnered numerous new members and guild alliances due to its adherence to the basic tenets of the Horde. This meeting, although wrought in secrecy, was turned into a reunion and welcoming to all. The night soon wound down into a small celebration, with drinks, merriment, and overall welcomes and greetings to new and long-time friends. However as the festivities continued, Guild Leader Zendibus received word that the location of Meldrath the Malignant, long-time enemy of all that is good in the gnomish people, was found to be plotting in the Caves of Desolation, near the CWM-BetaCXVII Cogs. Garnering his forces, the Horde streamed across the low mountains of the Steamfont. With fierce battle cries and the sounds of steel and spells, the awesome might of the Horde caught Meldrath and his minions by surprise. Summarily after the battle, Meldrath was brought back to AkAnon in shackles, where he awaits execution for his heinous crimes.

Coglestop Search Party Continues...

Have you seen me? Call 1-800-WHEREAMI

THE GREAT DIVIDE, VELIOUS- With the sad announcement of the sudden disappearance of Officer Benzworth Coglestop, the Gnomish Geographical Society, the Catagnomic Horde, and numerous other sources are spending no expense to locate the missing Gnome. With his disappearance in July, The Horde is trying to keep good spirits for his eventual recovery, but as the days and weeks go on, hope is diminishing. The GGS had this to say about the incident:
________________________________________________________

An Unfortunate Message From the Gnomish Geographic Society:

It is unfortunate that we have to bring you this message, but it must be done. On June 29th, Your Benzworth Coglestop was exploring the distant areas of the Great Divide for us. Unfortunately there was an extremely powerful blizzard after which we lost contact with him. 3 days later we sent out a rescue party to his last known position only to find nothing but his maps, compass, a few pieces of malachite and the signs of a rather large firewater explosion. The dire wolves we borrowed from the Coldain were also unable to pick up his scent. It appears he may have either attempted to warm himself on the night of the blizzard by constructing a crude firewater heater, which malfunctioned and exploded, or ran into trouble and created a firewater grenade in an attempt to escape. We will continue searching until September 28th, after which we must assume that he is dead.

Regretfully,

Flagnopab Roclinsight
Director of Velious Operations,
GGS (Gnomish Geographic Society)

Any knowledge of Officer Coglestops whereabouts would be greatly appreciated, and there is a reward for his safe return.

OOC- Please read this and check out this board. Tinkering for a long time has been THE least gratifying of all the tradeskills, and with the formation of the Union, it could be changed! We're all gnomes and tinkering is 'our' tradeskill, so let's get Verant to make some changes!

Giants Battle at the Oasis of Marr!

OASIS OF MARR, ANTONICA- Recently brought to the attention of the Head of the Department of Hideous Monsters and Repulsive Creatures was the tale of a number of giants battling at the Oasis of Marr in some sort of 'contest'. This greatly disturbed Professor Suriv Ecitone and was heard to mention about an investigation into the rituals of these titanic monsters.
