Whispers to the Dark XXX
Queen Mab
As we move up in the world, things seem to be more complicated rather than less. Our actions with the Lockbreaker have resulted in us being given the keep formerly owned by the Lord Merritt. This however doesn’t feel like a blessing, instead somewhat of a poison chalice, I dislike that people know where we are including our enemies. I miss the comfort of the road and the ability to dip into the shadows and hide when needed.
The rest of the Unbroken seem to be enjoying it though, the Wizards are spending their days in the study reading books, Sabali seems to be drawing on his temple arts imbuing his shadow with purpose and direction. Our resident cleric has hallowed our grounds in fear that we are the targets of the Lockbreaker’s toys, and I can sometimes hear yelling from Orlando’s new workshop.
This rise in our respective status however has meant we have now drawn the ire of a local vampire, he has killed one of our men, infiltrated our servants with spies and we believe he is preparing an attack on our recently acquired fort. I am therefore writing on behalf of the Unbroken to request the aid of you and the Winter Court. If you could spare some of the Winter Guard, A small force just to sure up the defences during the night, it would be appreciated.
Your Knight

07:53 pm - 16.08.2021A Dream of Winter
A Dream of Winter The snow crunched beneath Raphael’s feet, a slow methodical rythmn as his steps continued forward. How long had he been travelling? When had he started? And where was he? Questions that should have been more concerning to him, but ins...

Queen of the Unseelie We completed the task for the Lord of the Hunt, slaying the Fomorian and Druid before a difficult journey back to the Wild Hunt’s Revelry. I am afraid to say that the Lord was now able to see through my disguise, but thankfull...
06:58 pm - 14.06.2021Whispers to the Dark XXV

04:04 pm - 20.03.2021Whispers to the Dark XXIII

03:42 pm - 20.03.2021Whispers to the Dark XXII

03:28 pm - 28.02.2021Whispers to the Dark XXI
It is fair to say I hurt everywhere, the Pennerton’s vault were home to a magical ogre that could shift its form, turn invisible and into some kind of gas, it was a tough fight, and now I need to rest before the early hours when we must fight again. ...
07:48 pm - 26.02.2021Whispers to the Dark XX

05:19 pm - 21.02.2021Whispers to the Dark XIX
I sit here staring upon the Pennerton exchange, my goal, watching for any sign or options of entry. I have already scouted inside and found there to be many guards and watchful eyes. Our journey to the hunting lodge did not go as planned last night, w...
02:54 pm - 12.02.2021Whispers to the Dark XVIII
My queen, We arrived in Westruun yesterday. I had spent some time on the road talking with Orlando, someone who I hadn’t really spoken to in a great deal and just one to one before, we discussed the potential ways we could, in theory, infiltrate the ...
06:23 pm - 10.01.2021Whispers to the Dark XVI
Whispers My Queen, An interesting turn of events has occurred this evening following my earlier update. Upon returning to Eagles Landing, a message had been left for Wind that bore the symbol that represents the Clasp. I was familiar with it fro...
11:29 am - 28.12.2020Whispers to the Dark XVI
Queen Mab, Investigated Northern Docks of Drynna, uncovered small smuggling activity that had disturbed a Sahuagin Shrine to some shark deity. This explains the attacks some weeks back and the increased Sahuagin activity. Removed threat, recovered weal...

12:49 pm - 14.12.2020Whispers to the Dark XV
My Queen, It has been good to have a more restful week sleeping in a real bed again since our time in the swamp. It is good that I no longer need to hide myself from my companions, though I still walk the streets of Drynna as Lord Neverwinter. I would ...
12:41 pm - 14.12.2020Whispers to the Dark XIV
Thank you my Queen, I interrogated Althia and concluded she was not a culprit in the plague wrought by her sisters, but perhaps an injured party too. Whilst her complacency to act against her sisters carries some weight, one which the wizard felt was s...
06:58 pm - 05.12.2020Origins
?Unknown? I woke in the dark. Cold snow and dirt surrounded me, and as I opened my mouth to breath, the dirt cascaded into it. Desperately my hands clawed at the dirt and snow digging in front of my face until I felt a cold sharp wind at my fingerti...
10:06 am - 02.12.2020Whispers to the Dark XIII
It’s been harder to find a quiet moment to speak to you my queen. It was a tough journey back to Drynna with people of Bel in tow, lost a few through attacks in the swamp and a few to sickness. I was surprised that a some were foolish enough to cons...
10:45 am - 27.11.2020Whispers to the Dark XII
It is done my queen, the hag Barithia is destroyed, and with her the curse I hope. I am gracious for your wisdom, for without, I fear we would have been hunting her across the swamp for weeks. When we had come across her dwelling, she had vanished into...
08:34 pm - 18.11.2020Whispers to the Dark XI
My lady, I talk to you because it often feels you are the only one I can talk to. I took a risk summoning the sprite, and I hope it was worth it. He confirmed the growing fear I had, three Hags it seems are at work here, Althia and Barithia’s true ...
08:22 pm - 11.11.2020Whispers to the Dark X
My Queen Further questioning of the Tabaxi and what he saw has raised greater concerns over the face of this banshee being the same as the Apothecary who calls herself Althia. We have confirmed with the villagers that Barithia looks identical to Althia t...
11:00 am - 09.11.2020Whispers to the Dark VIII/IX
Protect me my queen, It has been a long day. The screaming we had heard was that of four villagers taken by gnolls in the swamp. A bloody fight ensued with only one of the humans surviving, it was a gruesome affair I must confess and my companions did w...
12:28 pm - 30.10.2020Whispers to the Dark VII
My Lady, I find myself trudging through the swamp heading northward to whatever I hope ails the region, in search of answers. Last night we were set upon by some kind of reptilian creatures. Whilst unexpected that we were attacked in our bleak surroundi...
01:29 pm - 14.10.2020Whispers to the Dark VI
Greatest of the Fey, I find myself a little time as the others prepare the camp in this evil swamp. You answered my prayers last night and it was my honour to see you again. What a mighty gift Frostweaver is, it’s masterful, such balance and power. I h...
11:09 am - 08.10.2020Whispers to the Dark V
My Lady, I have caught this sickness that plagues the town. The Tabaxi had cooked some meal that I could not tell if it was fish or pork and now suffer from this ravenous hunger. The Cleric and Paladin realised quickly and used their healing magics to re...
01:36 pm - 01.10.2020Whispers to the Dark IV - Downtime
I am losing my faith my queen, have I offended you in some way? over the past two weeks, I have made offering bowls to gloaming fey in an attempt to invite the faeire folk into Drynna, whilst I have made a friend who goes by Moonflake, the sprite from th...
09:18 am - 30.09.2020Whispers to the Dark IV
Queen of Air and Darkness Hear my words, We have rid the depths of the spider’s presence with the help of my companions, we found some treasure and what appeared to be a desiccated gnoll encampment. The apothecary and follower of the Wildmother has br...
09:14 am - 30.09.2020Whispers to the Dark III
Great Queen, I speak to you now after facing swarms of spiders in the depths below, I fell to the darkness twice in a flurry of legs and eyes and poison. I awoke once to the paladin who seems to be blessed with great healing powers and for a moment forgo...
09:13 am - 30.09.2020Whispers to the Dark II
My great and beautiful lady. I’ve travelled to the Apothecary on behalf of the counsellor. There is apparently a growing sickness in the town and more medicine is needed. I am still accompanied by this group, who helped with some trifling trouble on th...
09:11 am - 30.09.2020Whispers to the Dark I
My Queen, I have done as you commanded and journeyed to Drynna. Along the road, kept company with a paladin and cleric. The cleric asks more questions than I would care to answer but the paladin is good at filling the silences. I believe this arrangement ...
