For the few who do now know what happened this week, it will be hard to explain. You remember the giant flying island on the back of a colossal Earth Dragon? It showed up about a year ago and hasn't done anything but sit in place, for a good reason it seems! Once it started moving around it caused all sorts of chaos, tidal waves and earthquakes. This humble writer has not been able to confirm it yet but there are rumours of Volcanoes erupting in the South of Black-rock.

   However, that's not the scary part. The Earth Dragon accompanied by the Ellesar (High) Elven Air-Fleet seemingly knew something. A giant tear opened in the sky and horrifying gigantic creatures appeared from it, the elves and Dragon made short work of them but the tear remains. To cap it off, a giant Dark-Metal ship flew up to the Tear in the Sky and is now doing something to it. Whatever they are doing, we have no clue. Dear readers, if you find yourself on a journey there or any information on it, send it to us here at Teresyum Weekly. We all wish to know, for it affects us all.

Chase Along the Rooftops (Lyal'Dream Capital)

   After the chaos ensued it seems like things have stirred in the City of Fireflies in Lyal'dream. A creature of nightmares was activated or woke up, sources are unsure of which. Brave adventurers were on the scene though and managed to contain the issue. Zirra, Jade, Memnarch, Corcus and Asher are the names of the brave ones who chased it along rooftops and cut it to pieces. The City of Fireflies is grateful for you good deed adventurers!

Elemental Shenigans.

   A large number of Elementals have been spotted a weeks travel NE away from the Wandering Fox in the Capital, if you hit the petrified forest you are going the right way. Adventurers are needed to figure out what is happening, but no guards in the city have reported any close-by or attempting entry to the city. They seem harmless right now but their numbers are swelling rapidly.

Adventurer's Confessions

   This is one of my personal favourite sections. This is where Adventurers take their time to send me letters of what they have been up to. These sources are not verified but they are a fun read!

Our first letter comes from Vor'El, all the way from the City of Fireflies: 

   Hey, Vor’el here! Last thing I did that I remember was looking for a wizard in his cave. People in the nearby town hadn’t heard so much as a peep from him, so they hired us. We found a bunch of huge spiders and I took their poison. We also found a cane and some other stuff like a staff and a robe if I remember correctly. I also went looking for someone by the moniker of the Green Knight. We found him hiding in a tower covered in oil, and the genius in our party shot some form of burning arrow and almost killed me! Knocked a clear bit of my memory out too. Last thing I remember is seeing the Green Knight’s ugly mug! ~Vor’el

   The next ones comes from a party that shrank themselves in order to aquire some honey and samples. You heard me right, shrunk themselves down and entered a beehive, this was an adventure I wished I could have been there to see.

Honey Troubles

   During some magic experiments, a circle of young wizard and druids accidentally blasted a common beehive with raw chromic radiation. In the following week the hive expanded massively in structural size and the bees have become more territorial. To get some samples without disturbing the hive too much, the local band of druids have forbidden and larger scale interaction with it, the elder druid Ben & elder wizard Jon decided to temporarily shrink a group of adventurers into bee size and have enter the combs through a back entrance in the wall, the hive is next to a farmstead house on a hop farm in the north of Lyal'Dream.

   With their goal to acquire some variant samples, 3 adventurers, Jacques, Myth & Zayuan, made their way through abandoned combs and discovered that the bees started building the hive like an actual mega structure, with a big central chasm which led to many different tunnel connected by wax bridges. The inside even was lighted by by weird bulbous glassy wax balls, containing some kind of luminous liquid (not safe for consumption as discovered by Zayuan) and that the bees started using javelin like spears and developed chitinous armor. They encountered and fought some 'guards', and made their way into a brightly lit tunnel and chamber, made out of weirdly stylized glassy wax. In the chamber they found some honey pools and the most curious encounter yet. A bee without wings with vaguely humanoid proportions, with chitinous armor and wielding a sword made of the same material as the spears. He even had wide, toothless mouth, out of which he emitted buzzing noises resembling language. He attacked them upon Zayuan trying to take some honey, and displayed great speed in his attack some of his movements to fast for the human eye to follow. From his demeanor before, during and after the fight, he died form his wounds, Jacques saw the familiarity to a knight in it. Afterwards the quickly made their way out with their samples and delivered them. (The samples where: Bee Soldier corpse, Hive Knight corpse, bulbous lamp, honey, luminous liquid, bee spear & bee sword, wax) Research results of the wizards so far upon examining those samples: From our examination of the 'Soldier' bee and the so called 'Hive Knight', we have concluded that the blast of chromic radiation has started to alter these Anthophila on a base level, their bodies have started to morph, though we can not conclude how much with each generation since(edited)

   larvae samples could not be acquired. They have shown heightened intelligence, building tunnels and structure beyond combs and crafting new building materials and weapons.

  Now this one is a bit on the weirder side, but in the end what adventure isn't? This humble writer will be attending as well so I shall see you there. This invitation is from the aforementioned Sommal Bathel.

Excursion in the sky

   The Adventurer's Guild have sent a couple of expeditions into the Eye of the Storm. This is what happened during the two expeditions.

1st - A Forbidden Door

   So called "Admiral" of Traveller's Rest, Sommal Bathel took a group of adventurers exploring the Eye of the Storm. They reported back without casualties. They found a couple of interesting locations but most of all it seems they have discovered a portal towards one of the other illusive Elven Races called the Astra Elves. With the title of Friend of The Elves the Admiral could have walked through but chose not to. It seems the decision was wise and the Guild has allready sent a notice for no adventurers to go there without a group of diplomats with them. Additionally it seems that the absence of the Eye of the Storm from Teresyum and the influence of the Dragon's magical aura has modified the appearance and usually the size of most flora and fauna that can also be found on Teresyum. The party reported Displacer Beasts with dragon scales and green flame breaths, it seems the aura of the dragon highly affects those who live there for an extended period of time and even plants grow a lot faster there.

2nd - A dance in the sky

   Chross Wyrmguard took a band of adventurers to EotS, where they listened to the troubles of a town, raided by Harpies, apparently the Harpies had discovered a hidden cache of magic items and armed with them, they were free to exact a tax of men and food from the nearby village. Adventurers set out, and eventually found the lair of the Harpies, there they enacted in great many physical activities. Eventually Claireach managed to settle a deal through lies to gain the men back, and a promise from the Harpy Queen to not raid the men. The Harpy Queen sensed foul play, and sent her scouts to observe the party from afar, and realized the lie. Wisened from this encounter, she now trusts adventurers far less, and is willing to go to more depths to ensure her race's survival.

The Invite of Invites

   Sommal Bathel would like to invite everyone for an evening of drinks in the Wandering Fox on the Eye of the Storm to celebrate his recent promotion to Fleet Admiral of the newly formed Travelers Rest Navy. Drinks are discounted for the event and entertainment will be provided, examples of which being; A live performance of the hit "A dragon from the Dragonscale", tales from the Eye of the Storm from Sommal himself, a fly over by the Travellers Rest Navy ships and finishing off with a live Q and A from Dragvandil itself (questions audited prior to event). Donovan the Magnificent is rumored to also be making an appearance at the event after recently arriving in the local area.

(Keep an eye on #announcements for the date of when it happens and time)

   This is quite riveting, reading and imagining the amazing and weird adventures people have across Teresyum. It goes to show how much there is still to find out.

Almost a Giant Mess

   After reports of a nearby forest winter tundra, adventures set out to find the cause. Ga and hybrid quickly recognized the area from a previous mission and let the team towards an ice palace. Once they reached the doors of the palace, an ice giant awaited them demanding they “Go away!” The team insisted on staying and began lodging arrows in the snow of the giant. A few hits to the knees from Li and a hand full of barrels, filled with alcohol, tossed by Zayuan, the giant's feet were cover. Zayuan quickly ran back into the forest as a woman approached shouting “Don’t attack, it’s not your battle to fight!” As most of the team retreated back to the woman, Alcazar sent a fire at the base of the giants feet, igniting the alcohol into a giant flame. Li and ga where left behind in the fire as the rest escaped with the summer princess. A promise to return their friends by the princess, the team left back to the guild to report. 
    Li and ga had been frozen right when the fire erupted, a winter lady (Crystal) approached them apologizing for misunderstandings and offering them shelter for the night. The next morning they returned home to fireflies.
