Special report provided to the Conch Champion by Diana Sable

The Isle of Death has always been an issue for the Conch Council and my family, from its days of a prison and forced labour camp to what it has become these days. The Isle is now full of swamp creatures and undead but this was not always the case ...

When my Great Great Grandfather Denvar Sable discovered the isle, it was a small rich forest with many animals living there and nothing like it looks like today from his early reports. There was rumours and tales from the local barbarian tribes that this was a sacred site, said that some relics had been washed down from the Columns of the Sky and the mysterious Cave of Lost Soul or placed on the isle. Over time the isle grew in size as the river deposited soil and rocks splitting the river into two, now looking the way it does to day.

Of course back in the old days these rumours had been dismissed and plan made to make a prison on the isle, away from the main city with its natural benefits been the fast flowing river. But something when wrong ...

Originally set up as a prison and forced labour camp, the head of the guards who had been given wardenship of the colony had more sinister plans for it. The prisoners here were given little in the way of tools, clothing, shelter or food and those that complained were tortured and killed for the entertainment of the Warden and to feed his dark desires. Through this cruelty and the inhuman treatment of the prisoners, it led to widespread disease, abuse of power, violence, and even cannibalism. Rumours have always been around that he seeks the power of the gods or was been controlled by another to obtained relics of power.

I have been living in a shack close to the isle and been watching, search and collecting evidence that there is more to the isle than we first thought. An Cult of the Dead has mostly taken control of the isle and is using the undead in mines on the top of the isle, seeking something that was buried long ago. What this is and why it is being done I don not known, but it can only mean bad news to the City of Conch.

So I ask for your help, I seek to reclaim some or if not all the isle in my families name plus the removal of this threat

Dear Community,

We will be removing the password and wiping the server soon. We have made changes to the XP system and Loot drops. Updates have been added to the Start Area and more Lore added to most areas where needed.

Sadly we haven't been able to get to everything. Buggy spells are still an issue, as it is still a work in progress ( depending on time and the team ). We have not added the Item Level Restriction System or the Cloak changing system.

You will no longer be able to enchant in the Crafting system and have already removed access to these special areas. This is to bring some balance back to the items on the server. I hope to look at the Crafting and up the properties from materials, as we see how the balance goes.

Moving forward, we are adding a new sync server for any hak changes which will affect any new players.

So the ball is now in your court, so if you want to play with your friends or advise others that we will be open to play. We will advise a date for this to be open when I can confirm such I have a Server Plot in mind for those looking for that type of thing around the Isle of Death, which is not a one shot event but looking to be complete over a number of months. Trying to keep this DM free as possible, because as you might have noticed our team is smaller again but will try to be around to fix simple stuff and issues. On that we are without a main scripter, so major changes will not be happening moving forward.

We have taken feedback and tried to make these changes you requested but not all can be done.

Have Fun!

Stories and reports of more than normal amount of zombies being seen in the Graveyard area of Conch are of a concern. Some say it is The Mourners gang of the Slums but other say their must be more behind it.

A challenge has been set in the Slums Arena by a family of Half Orcs ... The Briqs ! Two brothers and a sister, it is said the sister is the eldest and has other skills the other two younger brothers do not possess. Make sure you do not become one of their trophies.

Those walking the streets of the Upper District of Conch, notice large creates and statues being moved into the Nebular University of the Arcane Arts. Some say these odd looking statues are being added to the university as decorative features but others say they have been bought in to study.

Stories are being told that the Hamlet of Hilltop is currently plagued and travellers/merchants a like have limited their travels to the area. Some say it was from the recent war and battles in and around the hamlet. Others say it is a disease that only effects halflings and due to this hin are questioned and sometimes turned away by guards of villages, towns and cities in the region.

In an effort to attract halflings to defend and repair Hilltop, the Mayor has opened up a number of properties to rent. These funds will be put into the new walls at the eastern entrance and repairs to the hamlet.

Rumours persist that there is an evil within the hamlet, some point to the increased mining for the new walls and others think it is under the lake ... either way those left in the hamlet continue to live a hard life after resent events and the continued threat of war in the region.

Complaints from the citizens of the Upper District continue to be heard about small tremors that shake their houses, causing minor damage from time to time. These concerns of the citizens seem to fall on deaf ears or dismissed with the local authorities.

Some say it is some type of construct in the sewer area and other say it is coming from the temple, but rumours continue to be heard about what is causing these tremors in the Upper District.

Just to confirm ...

Any information here is considered as OOC knowledge and may not have happened in game and/or maybe fanfiction, on how a character might have seen events and hoped they happened or just a story in the characters mind or a background to support their in game story.

We understand that players, especially on a RP Server seek to have more detail to their stories and we respect that.

Please use this forum as it was intended, read the journals and enjoy but remember a player took time and effort to write the words.

Thanks for reading.
