Calsidiu's Log
Gullday, Wintumber 22nd

The vampyres continue to toy with us. Another shipment was destroyed, this time it was just Marko out on the run. I managed to get us a crate of food, but only while the vampyres were already busy... and in town.

That's right. The one calling himself the Inquisitor and his guards were in Burgh de Rott. The reports from Connor, Marko, and Lockwood all say that there were three vampyres trying to tithe them when the Inquisitor killed one and distracted another, allowing it to be killed.

He told them that the Burgh is under protection on order of Vanescula Drakan and that we are not to be tithed. We are also not to be fed or allowed water, either. And he's in charge of overseeing it all, the b*star*. He's a smarmy ****, playing as if our condition is regrettable to him. He even offered to meet with us whenever we like. We just need to put a hat on the north gate to summon him.

The thought of that Saradominist-clad bat makes me want to ring the closest things' neck. Whoever this Inquisitor is, he is smart. And unlike most of his colleagues, he is clandestine and efficient. This b*star* has us right where he wants us. And I doubt things are as simple as he claims them to be. He's up to something. Every vampyre is.

The Judge is making more appearances and taking an interest in my affairs. He even somehow knows my real name. I cannot allow this to continue. Someone either betrayed us, or does not know how to keep their mouth shut. I will need to go to Darkmeyer soon to see what I can dig up there.

Recent operations have been slow, but steady. So far no additional casualties or notable injuries. One of the new folk in town is a healer too, so Elzbeth finally has some backup. Now, all we need to do is outmaneuver the rat b*stards that have us surrounded here in the Burgh. I look forward to putting a stake through that haughty Inquisitor's chest.

Can't earn Slayer xp anymore.

Latest reports - sightings and rumors

Mort Myre Swamps -

Rumors are that a small group of mad pagans have been trying to convert the nature grotto into their sanctuary.

There have been perculiar spots of land covered in snow spread across the myre swamps. Similarly, bizarre storms and freak weather seem to have been occuring sporadically and randomly. This suggests that there is an exceedingly powerful (Or mad. Probably mad ~C) "storm mage", or meteo-magi, somewhere within the swamps. Keep an eye out.

A group of hired mercenaries who wear dragon masks of varying colours, beleived to be a splinter-cell of the original group, have been kidnapping male travellers of most ages and complexions - only to let them go a few hours later. Several failed memory-wipes made this clear. Either hunt them down directly, or bait them out and have a second and third member trail them back. Do not kill unless necessary, it is important to find out who they work for and what they are doing to people.

Darkmeyer -

Something unsettling is happening. The Vyrelord known as "The Judge" is starting to appear much more commonly, and unsettlingly, seems to be rallying his troops, both vyrelords and vyrewatch, supposedly militantly. He is also looking through each and every member of his vyrewatch, looking for a particular member. Who, noone can say. Or why. That's where you come in.

Morytania region -

TO ALL MEMBERS

There are rumors that a book, simply known as "The Salvebreaker", containing the information on rituals and rites which will, eventually, allow the salve to be broken down, if only for a few minutes. Not enough to let an army across, but the more vyres who slip through, the worse things will be in the west. Much worse. A vyrelady known only as "Constance" is supposed to have this book, currently in an undisclosed location. ANY leads on this should be reported immediately to Cal.

(Had to split it into two parts, because character limit. I WANTED TO WRITE THINGS.)

The Diary of Cirilla DeVir
Gullday, 22nd of Wintumber
Entry I, Pt. 1/2

In all my journeys across Gielinor, never have a seen a land so desperate as Morytania. The path that Guthix has set me on has led me to this dark, dank nightmare of a land. Some of the visions I’ve had of late started to coalesce into more than just a murky and muddled image in my dreams. I know that this is what I was seeing. I can feel it in my heart, and know that I was meant to come here. Upon entering the Paterdomus, I met with a priest named Drezel. He spoke warily and in hushed tones of those who needed aid among the myres. He may have valuable information for what it is I truly seek, but now is not the time for that. I must get to know this land and the people that inhabit it.

Once I have settled in, I can ask more questions. I can tell the priest was a cautious sort, and would not give me any information lightly, especially not for what sort of things I would ask. His musings led me across Mort Myre, haunted by horrible ghasts. I stopped briefly to honor the Nature Spirit that resides there, before continuing on until reaching my destination. Burgh de Rott truly lived up to it’s name from the first impression. The entire town was falling apart, and even the front gate was stuck in place. But it is not merely a destitute pile of rotting wood, as the eyes see it. No, the suffering and desperation of these people also fuel a cause that I have much to learn about.

The Diary of Cirilla DeVir
Gullday, 22nd of Wintumber
Entry I, Pt. 2/2

I met a man, a mysterious man, who posed the oddest of questions. Bat, wolf, or human, he asked me. My confusion was apparent, and thankfully he did not strike me down on suspicion alone. After subjecting me to the touch of his sickle’s blade, I became more acquainted with both the man, and the struggles of these people. Werewolves and vampyres stalk Morytania, the darkest and foulest of things I’d only ever heard of in stories. Oppressing these people with their blood tithes and starving them to death. The man seemed skeptical when I offered to help, not convinced by my meager appearance and seemingly small set of talents. But, I eventually convinced him that I could help, once he learned I was capable of mending wounds. No surprise that healers would be in short supply.

I wish I could provide more, if only I had more control over my visions. More clarity could help these people more than any healing spell, potion, or poultice ever could. I hope to learn more of this vampyre threat in the coming days, and to learn more of this man and the others whom inhabit the town. I set up shop in a small, mostly destroyed shack to the south. A few intact bookshelves with some interesting volumes, to which I added some of my own. I guess we will see what my future holds in this dark place.

Latest Reports - Extras

Burgh De Rott -

Apparently, an unusual, festive box has been seen south of the old bank in Burgh De Rott.

Northern Mort-Myre Swamp Region -

It's been said that a certain individual is trying to start a Vampyre-slaying group. A western Vampyre-slaying group. Meaning fancy wealthy kids thinking they can fight getting all the attention. This could be useful and also dire. It would be worth finding their base and meeting them, the last thing the myreque needs is another "The Myreque Reborn", especially one funded by public interest which actually has a half-chance of staying around.

There are rumors that a small gem-mine has been found, and that the mine is already having smuggling issues. Several people in dark dress have been seen all around morytania's northern region, refusing any conversation. The odd thing is, they seem to strictly go along a single route. After a feral attack, one corpse was seen to have a wealth of jewels, very small and easy to conceal... Citizens in canifis may know more.

Tensions are high and training is low, at least with the newest batch of recruits. It would be worth finding a way to train troops in a safe environment.
(Reccomendation : Sometime close to christmas, it would be worth playing the "Heist" minigame, as it has a working DARKMEYER map, which allows players to play as vyres, INCLUDING the ability to fly! Would be perfect myreque-y training.)

Connor's Personal Journal, 23rd Wintumber, 6th age

Is this the end of the myreque? A new beginning? Something else entirely? A metamorphasis into something greater, or a death-spiral?

On the matter of The Judge, I dare not write much of it here. What I can write is that the Myreque have what they most needed, what once they owned, but recently lacked : Hope. I have no doubt that the ability to fight back will do endless wonders. Ten logs of blisterwood. It will have to do. I still wish I couldn't feel it creaking and writhing in my comrades' packs, though. Despite how..unpleasant..."The Judge" is, he has given us hope. And a reason to be cautious, but a reason to fight. And fight we shall.

The Inquisitor's days are numbered. Soon, he'll die, and then the vyre army of the judge should be able to cripple Vanesceula's forces. And hopefully, bring about peace, for a time. A civil war with no survivors.

But what has me wondering is the splitting of the myreque. Cal' staying at the Burgh' base, me moving off to find Azz in Sanguinesti, rebuilding the myreque cell there, while Marko and Elzbeth go to do the same up north. All I can hope is that Burgh' will not fall, that Vanesceula's forces will be too occupied to march on Burgh. They are the real enemy here.

All I can hope is that this results in ultimate success for the myreque. Hope is thinly spread, but it's there. All secrets are out. Well, Elzbeth knows what I am, Cal' knows everything EXCEPT what I am...it'll have to do.

And that accursed vault, the armory....the music was...haunting. Perhaps it's Drakan's influence spreading. Perhaps not. We'll see. But right now, I have to focus on building up the sanguinesti cell once more. I simply hope all of this goes well. Something just gives me the sneaking suspicion that my alternate self will...be found. Or Drakan's influence will take over. Or Sylar does some unthinkable evil. Or those pagans summon some kind of demon.

..this isn't gonna be easy

Merry Christmas, taffers! And may there be many more years of poking silver things into vyres with impunity!

Er. I mean freedom fighting. Definitely freedom fighting.
