Nosque Reports from the Heard of Lands

August 2004

The End of the World was upon us all. The last alliance of the free stood side by side at the gates of Afacia City for the last stand.
Humans, Elf, Dwarf, Drow, Fey, Orc, Goblin, Spirits of Nature and many others rose against Wedge Cloudminder.
A huge battle was faught. Many Nosquians fell in the conflict.

Grigori was slain by a poisoned sword, but was thrown back down from heaven, as even the heavens themselves were in turmoil (great was the power of Cloudminder)
Vladivar the Crusher was lost in an attempt to transport to Nosque City
Roo dies a hero's death by charging the enemy even without his arms (he lost these in protection of the Nosquian Banner)
Mortanis was made blind in the attempt to find a book of power
Nobber Nosque died (it is not known how)
Randy McNosque was last seen running from the battle, it is thought he ended his own life in shame

But Wedge and his army of mind controlled Nosque were beaten, Wedge was killed and Grigori took the head of Wedge Cloudminder as a trophy



Oct 2004

Reports say that this is when Rocher Ferrero was first seen in Afacia.
Grigori tells a tale of how he thought Master Ferrero was slain by a huge Scorpion.
Much of what happened at this time is vague, something about undead pirates and were wolves.
Information is still being sought as to what actually happened

Nov 2004

A plea from friend Fred Mcgee asks for help at Skorba's Mountain.
Many brave warriors take up the challenge to free a village from the evil that has swept over them.
Many undead were found, including some experimental creatures like the killer Bunnies.
A dread mage of huge power created a force that was threatening the lands.
Many Nosque went with the party and finally came across the Mage and his pet Scorpion.
A battle cry went up and many undead and the Scorpion attacked. Many were cast down by the huge beast.
Finally some brave souls killed the Mage and the Scorpion Beast died instantly. Grigori was presented a gift by Lan of the Nosque, the skeleton of the beast, which he has now gotten made by Rial into armour.
The weapon of the beast was apparently destroyed by Mr Cortez

Jan 2005

Master Abdul of the Bard's Guild asked for people to go to Siluria to end the Werewolves control of the only Silver Mine in the lands.
However, due to a religious retreat planned by Master Ferrero only a couple of Nosque went on the mission (most of us Monstered at the event!).
Reports say that the were creatures were beaten back but a huge cost for the Alliance
Many friends, especially from the NSD were lost. However, Narf proved her valour.



Feb 2005

An IC / OOC event.
The Nosque built a Temple to Goddess Viestevai and strange things happened....
Archon and Grigori were empowered with extra toughness when they prayed for several hours.
A Wolf stole Ikum-Pokem, the Nosque Religous Icon.
The Temple was ransacked, culprit still to be killed (found)
A traitor to Avon of the Afacians was discovered and subsequently punished by Avon himself.
The Nosque, having heard of a vision from Grigori, went on a quest to find three lost Nosque....
We encountered Nosque High Priest to Rhiestevai Ochoka, who said strange tales of Wedge Cloudminder and God Rhiestevai ... more information is being held secretly by those present

Atheling Rocher Ferrero was raised to High Priest of Viestevai, he was chosen as the Nosque prayed in the Temple, as the voice of Viestevai
Herewith to be known as High Priest of Viestevai Ochoka Ferrero
He has passed onto a rank higher than any Nosque can attain through might alone, it is hoped that he will lead the Nosque to true enlightenment and reconnect our people with Goddess Viestevai

Kaldo was possessed by Viestevai, a great honour! Although he is now almost deaf. We salute him.
Ochoka Ferrero has taken control of the Nosquian Honour Guard and reformed it into The Legion of Viestevai
We practised a ritual with some friends, and strange things happened.
We honoured those who had advanced in our ranks with a Ceremony of the Sash
We have allied ourselves with the NSD even more strongly

March 2005

We went in search of the source of a river that ran backwards.

A huge gelitanous monster took away our friend Scratt.

The Nosque consecrated a new hidden shrine in the name of supreme Goddess Viestevai.

We encountered some ferial creatures and a Transport Circle was discovered, sealed from the other side.

The Nosque with the aid of other Ritualists managed to stabalise and re-open this portal.

We then safely transported back to Afacia City as we were attacked by the feral creatures. We found some more Nosquian survivors that have joined us.

Nosquians Elk and Crash Test Looey are most welcome- who have been given the rank of Red and the title of Ceorl


April 2005

Grigori proposed marriage to Spyke of the NSD.
The Nosque completed the erection of the Nosque Legion Garrison, housing the Nosque Temple
Lord Avon gave us a piece of land in Afacia to build it on
Kaldo was Shamed by Grigori so holds the lowlest rank of White for a year and a day
A ceremony was held in which Grigori's friend Lady Freya was honourarily given the Nosquian rank of Silver

The Nosque performed a Ritual to Supreme Goddess Viestevai and she contacted us !!
However, she did not approve of Grigori's failings and he was killed by her
She demanded an end to Alliances with all non humans
She cast an affliction on every Nosque, so that they would prove their worth and Viestevai would remove it in a year if they proved themselves
Mortanis regained his sight but is unable to see Undead. A cruel gift from the Goddess.
Spyke blamed Ochoka Rocher Ferrero for Grigori's death

A quest to find an Artifact was undertaken by some and the Nosque returned with an Artifact supposedly given the power to destroy the Brotherhood
Ochoka Ferrero promoted many Nosque within the Faction, Mortanis is now Gold, Lan and Archon to Silver and many others to Blue

The Brotherhood attacked and many Nosque died as they held them back as everyone else fled through the Ritual Circle to Darkwood
The High Priest of Viestevai, Ochoka Rocher Ferrero was the last to die in a selfless act in order for the last non Nosque to escape

Much much more happened, but these details are being closely guarded by the Faction members

Nosque lost:- High Priest of Viestevai Ochoka Rocher Ferrero, Grigori, Archon and many many more in the final battle

May 2005

We arrived in Darkwood.
We we not invited into the Village by the NSD or Malkon, which insulted us as we did not enter without their permission, so we took control of the Village.
After a lot of moaning from the Malkon and NSD we let them in so they could hide.
We made a temporary alliance with the pointy ears and those vile beasts.
We were attacked by the Brotherhood - but we prevailed. Many elves died I am afraid to report.
We bravely stood alone at the Malkon Transport Circle and killed hundreds of the Brotherhood as they tried to break through.
We then passed the role of defending the circle to another group who then ran away like Jessies and left the Circle unguarded.
On our return to the Village we were attacked by Borris the beastkin, who tried to kill us.
The NSD leadership did not want to know about this and tried to avoid judgement on the furball. Justice is not apparently a word in the beast language.
Under the strain of the days combat we tried to boost morale by holding a game of Troll Ball, but no one was interested, they just moaned about their losses.

On the second day, the high priest of Viestevai, Ochoka Richnu took a party to the transport circle and portalled to Afacia to see what was happening to Lord Avon and the Afacian Castle, but as they arrived they were besieged by the Brotherhood and the Ochoka was mortally wounded.
A healer in the Nosque, Elk, thought that the Ochoka was only bruised and left him. After learning that he had caused the death of our religious leader he sacrificed himself in a vortex, he was no longer able to live with the shame.
The Brotherhood then attacked with more vigour and it was all that could be done to stop them
The others tried to seal the circle from the Darkwood side but failed to do so properly, no doubt Spyke had something to do with that catastrophie.
A Quest Jester appeared and Quested many people and it eventually dawned on everyone that the only way to kill the creature was to Heal it.
However, the Drow in their ultimate wisdom decided instead to remove the Jester's mask, almost all the Drow, of both houses died.
Well what do you expect from the Drow!


July 2005

Word reached us that Miner's Creek was devoid of Brotherhood and so a trip there was deemed important to try to re-capture the Transport Circle there.
Led by Fred Mcgee, a party of adventurer's walked to the location only to find that the place was a huge Brotherhood encampment.
It was a trap!
Most of the party was captured and imprisoned, where they met many known Nosque, who seem to have been replaced by Brotherhood Dopplegangers for the last 2 months in Darkwood.
Mortanis, Lan and many Nosque more told of how they were captured at the battle known as "The Afacian Evacuation",
stories were swopped of what has recently happened in Darkwood with the Brotherhood Nosque impersonators
Gunther Rimlow, the real one it seems, told of how they could all escape through the transport circle using 4 unique magical crystals hidden throughout Miner's Creek.
And so the hunt to find them involved many dangerous encounters with Brotherhood guards and patrols.
Eventually our adventurer's came across the waterfall where masses of special moss were located by the healers
It is thought at this time that Mortanis, having had many strange visions recently, made use of the secret shrine to Goddess Viestevai and has not been seen since. Although Lan is with him, so there is little concern about his welfare.
A huge sound was heard in the distance and thousands of Brotherhood warriors appeared on the horizon intent on destroying our adventurers, so Spyke decided to use the magic crystals to temporarily open up the circle and transport everyone back to Darkwood.
Well I am sure you can guess what happened... yes, many died because of Spyke's excellent Ritual Technique and she managed to escape leaving a fair number of adventurer's left to face the hordes of the Brotherhood attack.
Little is known next, although Taffy and Borris are rumoured to be dead, what a shame!
No news though of Kaldo, Mortanis and Lan
