1365 DR Hammer 17 - A group, at the request of Justikar Stoneblood, investigated a mysterious isle near Fraaszumdin.  It had apparently remained undiscovered for quite some time, as it had been shielded with some sort of magic.  The group found the island populated with minotaurs, and other living creatures, under the control of the ancient alhoon Alkazarka.  They also found contructs, undead, and some illithid abberations in the ruined building within the isle.  The group destroyed one of the three phylacteries of Alkazarka that was housed there, and recovered the remains and gear of Dregvar Firehand, a legendary duergar crafter who vanished over 1500 years ago.  The group consisted of Kroth Hammerheart of the Gray Protector Temple, Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar, Tribune Ezekiel Williams, Yathrin Chessala Zoland, and Nadal Zoland.  Kroth returned the remains of Dregvar to the temple where he could be put to proper rest.

1365 DR Alturiak 9 - Master Sergeant Kaya Jarna of the Anhaurz legion in Lapendrar, at the behest of her Autharch, was in charge of finding two of her legionnaires and a Red Wizard that went missing. With a low number of legionnaires in the city due to some transferring over to Escalant as a security detail, the Master Sergeant and Autharch called upon the help of adventurers to travel north of Anhaurz where the legionnaires and Red Wizard were originally tasked with investigating a smoke signal that was assumed to be coming out of a cavern. Arriving at the cavern the group noticed large scorch marks on the floor in front of the entrance outside and trailed far west. Inside the cavern were numerous humanoid creatures; goblins, bugbears, and orcs that were dispatched by the adventurers, and unfortunately, the corpses of the missing legionnaires and Red Wizard were also inside, burnt to a crisp. There also seemed to be what looked like an altar of summoning or teleportation with scorch marks surrounding it. Although the group of adventurers could not uncover the mystery of the altar, the main task of recovering the bodies was now complete. The group of adventurers that helped find the missing legionnaires and Red Wizard were: Katarina Aerson, Dylaan, Knight Ignan Sannerman, Twig, Vanessa Atwater, and Vasile Sidorov.

1365 DR Ches 3 - War Marshal Coros Tenslayer assembles a force of Lapendrar legionnaires and mercenaries at the city of Nethjet.  Following the River Umber, his fleet attacks the Aglarond city of Emmech under the concealing mist summoned by Zulkir Nevron.  Despite being surprised, the Army of the Lion was able to inflict some casualties on the attacking force.  However, it was not enough and Emmech fell; their leader Lord Gante Demelin slain in battle defending his keep.  Cast of Characters:  Agauth Ozkam, Castellan Aethon Tane, Dylaan, Omnipotence Balthazar, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, Katja, Thayan Knight Graveson, Unkdaz and Ralphie.

1365 DR Ches 21 - There was a tall tale from a sailor about sighting some large birds passing over Escalant.  However, given how drunk the sailor was, perhaps they were just seagulls.  As far as the war effort goes, some owlbears lent to the war effort by Red Wizard Gombdalla were slain, but not before killing some Aglarondians.  A Thayan scouting party found a group of thirty gnolls dead, scattered around an abandoned village about three days march from Emmech.  The scouting party took down an ent near the village, and made a bonfire out of the remains.

1365 DR Tarsakh 10 - Cassius Hadrianus hired a group to escort a supply caravan to Nethjet for the Lapendrar war effort.  The group dispatched a number of enemies along the roads and safely escorted the caravan there.  They discovered a halfling, presumed to be the missing Buppi Merbough, had tried to claim their payment from the town contact prior to their arrival.  The group consisted of Tribune Ezekiel Williams, Night Hawke of the Iron Throne, and Calkin Wildwood.

The ship would return to the Alaor Isle with all members of the crew.

1365 DR Tarsakh 19 - Red Wizard Samas Kul announces that the Guild of Foreign Trade has established a new Thayan enclave, this one in the city of Innarlith, a port on the Lake of Steam.

1365 DR Mirtul 1-2 - Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration hired a group to head to an island off the coast of Murbant that was once an outpost for the ancient Narfell Empire.  They retrieved a translation of some abyssal writings on a stone pillar - which turned out to be an ode to Grazz't's deeds -, recovered an old map of Narfell and parts of Raumathar, and a piece of a crystal.  The outpost apparently had been dedicated to Grazz't, and the group came across forces of Orcus who apparently had recovered and sent off the rest of the crystal already.  The group eliminated all the demons and undead on the island.  The group consisted of Overseer Mardikan, Lieutenant Remainder of the Griffon Legion, Gawain Reynn, Honoria Reynn, Imrae Illarran of the Temple of Ilmater, and Thaevos Welm.

They then pass through the Tannath Gap and attack the Thayans at Emmech from the rear.  After a climatic battle between Zulkir Nevron and The Simbul in the skies over Emmech Castle, Aglarond retakes Emmech and drives Thay from their soil.  War Marshal Coros Tenslayer is slain in the conflict.  Cast of Characters:  Tribune Ezekiel Williams of Tyraturos, Thayan Knight Viktor Graveson, the fish wielding goblin Unkdaz, the wanderer Taygra Tigerfist and the mute Katja.

The group filtered through and killed all that stood in their way and reported the findings back to Lord Martyn Maerklos and Mistress Sheree Jorino, who agreed to destroy the portals. Tribune Mardikan will be reporting back to Master Sergeant Martin on the findings and result.

1365 DR Mirtul 16 - Captain Dharmin Zodge of the Priador Legion hires a group of mercenaries to stop attacks on Thasselen by the Cult of Ibrandul.  The group finds the cult hideout and eliminates their threat.  They also find evidence that they were hired by the Vanthampurs -a daeron family that lives in the city- by gold they stole from the Cult of the Dragon following their raid on Nethjet years ago.  Furthermore, they find evidence tying the Vanthampur family to the destruction of Escalant.  Captain Zodge takes their evidence and consults with his superiors to determine his next course of action.

1365 DR Mirtul 18 - After consultation with a colleague in the School of Divination, Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration was able to track down the location of a Narfell Empire fortress.  She hired a group to explore this location, which was somewhere in the Icerim Mountains north of current day Raumathar and Narfell.  They eliminated some demons and golems, and explored the outside area and dealt with some giants and other creatures able to exist in the cold high altitude.  In addition to finding some yet to be enchanted large crystals inside the old fortress, the group found some writings about demons, and one passage which appeared to be some sort of prophecy that included some references to recent events around Thay.  The group consisted of Tribune Ezekiel Williams, Gawain Reynn, and Honoria Reynn.

They found out the wizard had some experiments going on which would aid the farming community, but it went wrong and wracked with guilt he took the guise of the old man and set in motion ways for his apprentices to be found and buried decently. On returning with the news, the adventurers found the old man had disappeared, but were later told that a newer corpse was laying with the apprentices. The mayor paid them and said the bodies would all receive a proper burial.

1365 DR Flamerule 1 - Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration requested a provide guard duty while she performed a summoning ritual.  The ritual took place in an isolated ruined Narfell Empire fortress in the Icerim Mountains.  The group (Castellen Aethon Tane, Tribune Ezekiel Williams, and Night Hawke of the Iron Throne) fended off many frost giants and some ice spirits, among other denizens of the area, while the ritual went on.  In the days after this, there were reports of flooding in Northern Rashemen.

1365 DR Flamerule 12 - Red Wizard Warrick Talman, from the school of Divination, hired a group of adventurers to uncover the secret gnomish kingdom of Songfarla. The group travelled east to the Forested Valley into one of the caverns where they would descend down through a well into the darkness of the mountain. They would eventually have to stop to clear a passageway of rubble and boulders, remaining there for the next few days while others decide to return to the surface.

Shortly after those who departed back to Thay, the remaining members of the group that stayed were suddenly caught in a nightmare...

Those that met with the Omnipotence were: Esmerelda Wildheart, Gnasher, Kai Kimura, Kyros the Black, Lexi-Rose, and Snot Boggart.

More information on the note and potion may be ready for the next venture.

1365 DR Eleasis 3 - The Master Sergeant of the Tyraturos Legion, with support from the Temple of Waukeen, arranged for a couple of additional guards for a caravan.  The Temple indicated this was to serve as reminder that their faith was still strong, despite rumors to the contrary.  The caravan contained both supplies for normal trade, as well as additional supplies that would eventually end up further north for other legions.  The drover for the caravan, Cona Krows, had the two additional guards, Phoenix Flameheart and Iceclaw Stormcloud, clear the way up front.  Halfway through, the skies darkened above for a bit as there was an eclipse.  An ogre ambush, along with typical run-ins, were dealt with.  When the wagons reached Eltabbar, Omnipotence Branimern Rythil thanked them for delivering the supplies for the northern legions, which she seems to have a vested interest in.

1365 DR Eleasis 18 - Tharchion Azhir Kren, Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration, and Master Sergeant Ashallenthen met with a group tasked with clearing out the dry hanging valley in the Gorge of Gauros, to allow some workers who had been driven off to finish some work around an obelisk that had been unearthed in the valley. The group also were introduced to a goblin (King Nanraak the Fierce) and kobold (Tekun the Warlord) from the High Country of Rashemen. Apparently the goblin and kobold were providing information and were loose 'allies' of Thay. The group then proceeded to clear the way to the obelisk and returned successfully. They discovered in their study of the obelisk that it involved some sort of transportation magic. They did run into a couple of Rashemi on the way back from their task, and also dispatched them. The group consisted of Tribune Ezekiel Williams of the Tyraturos Legion, Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar of the Temple of Lloth, Kroth Hammerheart of the Temple of Laduguer, Estella Goldenblade follower of Torm, and Bael'vanrae.

1365 DR Eleint 7 - Thracion Azhir Kren and Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration tasked a group to serve as an advance party to secure a village to use as a base of operations for the attack in Rashemen. The group headed through the obelisk portal in the Gorge, which connected to some ancient magical menhir in the High Country of Rashemen. Forces of the goblin King Nanraak the Fierece and the kobold Tekun the Warlord secured the High Country side of the portal. The group made their way through the hills, fighting denizens of the hills, including a handful of the elemental Orglash, and one demon which had been freed from a broken menhir which had been imprisoning it, along with Rashemi berserkers. While a small band of villagers fled, the group dispatched the fighting force that remained to defend the village. The group consisted of Tribune Ezekiel Williams of the Tyraturos Legion, Lieutenant Remainder of the Griffon Riders, Night Hawke of the Iron Throne, and Bael'vanrae.

1365 DR Eleint 21 - Omnipotence Warrick Talman gathered a group of adventurers to continue exploring the caverns of the Sunrise Mountains in search of the ancient kingdom Songfarla. Passing through the once-blocked entrance the group would stumble upon a variety of creatures that many have never seen before, and riches that were hidden in the darkness of the uncharted caverns... While no one other than the explorers really know what happened there, what is known are the adventurers that gathered around the Omnipotence that night before teleporting away. Those explorers were: Jorah Seyda, Kai Kimura, Lexi-Rose, Mynh'rae, Tizargha Sathraz, and Victoria Nefzen.

1365 DR Eleint 25 - Thracion Azhir Kren and Red Wizard Branimern Rythil of the School of Conjuration tasked a group (consisting of Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar of the Temple of Lloth and Bael'Vanrae) to secure the route between the village base in Rashemen and a small glade where some Rashemi had fortified a hill. Upon doing so, some apprentices then destroyed the barricades the Rashemi had set up on the hill, though in the process also destroyed some ancient menhir, which released some demons. A couple of balors set fires in the woods as they pursued Rashemi. This appeared to upset some of the local elemental spirits. The hill and village now both secured, the Thayan force plans its next moves in Rashemen.

1365 DR Eleint 26 - Apprentice Kaylan tasked a group for collecting another crystal. The group successfully waded through Illithid and undead to achieve the task. A minotaur clan had been bribed with persuasion and an ample amount of slaves to allow safe passage from the Alaor Isles to an out of the way island that could only be reached by magical portal. Successfully returning and handing over the gem. Apprentice Kaylan will be planning the next venture.

Only those who journeyed into the caverns know exactly what was found... Those who gathered to meet Omnipotence Warrick Talman before being teleported away were: Kai Kimura, Kyros the Black, Lexi-Rose, Szollos Imrizyn, Tizargha Sathraz, and Victoria Nefzen.

1365 DR Marpenoth 11 - After disappearing eight months ago and starting the events that lead to the war with Aglarond, the city of Escalant returns to Thay in a flash of light!  It has been revealed that the city was taken to the plane of fire by Sultan Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazan of the City of Brass, reparations he felt he was due for aid given to Thay prior to the Salamander War.  Due to the actions of Castellan Tane, Omnipotence Balthazar, Wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, Unkdaz the Fish-Wielding goblin, Priest of Kossuth Blaze Thornson and the mute Katja, the city was rescued from its fate and returned to its proper place in the realms.  However, it was not without sacrifice as Katja was lost in the Plane of Fire as the party made their escape.

1365 DR Marpenoth 12 - The Eternal Flame of Kossuth Thavius Kreg of the temple in Escalant is burned at the stake by the combined temples of Kossuth in Thay.  A traitor of the realm and a betrayer of the faith, it is revealed he was secretly a worshipper of Imix, a lesser fire god.  Tharchion Hezass Nymar is named the new Eternal Flame of Kossuth in Escalant.

1365 DR Uktar 8 - The forces of Tharchion Azhir Kren, with the support of Red Wizard Branimern Rythil and a hired group defended the village base in Rashemen from increasing elemental attacks, including the Orglash spirits and even some Wood Men, along with Rashemi Berserkers.  The kobold allies under the command of Tekun the Warlord stayed strong for the entire battle, even though most fell, but the goblin king Nanraak left after the goblins in the village were killed, saying he would return with reinforcements.  The treacherous goblin never did, however.  Eventually, the Thayan forces retreated back through the menhir portal to the obelisk in Thay.  The kobolds fell valiantly, and the hired group held the line at the Rashemen side of the obelisk while Omnipotence Rythil worked on closing it from the Thayan side.  The group managed to leap through right as the portal was closing.  The lone Rashemi that jumped through was quickly dispatched by some very angry Thayan forces.  Zulkir Nevron sent an apprentice with a message for Omnipotence Rythil.  This chapter of the war with Rashemen is closed.  The group consisted of Tribune Ezekiel Williams of Tyraturos, Night Hawke of the Iron Throne, Bael'vanrae, Kroth Hammerheart of the Temple of Laduguer, Kyros the Black, and the drow Burmice val'Lazrien.

1365 DR 9-10 Nightall - Adventurers came to the aid of Apprentice Kaylan once more to find the item she was looking for.  Mistress Sheree Jorino was in attendance, but held an observational capacity, allowing Kaylan to carry on with the information for the group.
The adventurers,  Molvar Senroth, Sorsha Olredo, Levicus Laurentis, Estella Goldenblade and the drows Burmice val'Lazrien and Syclya Jadystana waded through caverns, an underwater passage before finally reaching their goal of the deepest heart of the volcano.
