Lots of News from Winfield

From Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair:

The Old Man Posted Much information. So, here we go!

Gatekeeper Has Information about the Old Knight

Kuraari Trist and I were in the Mage Tower in PaxLair when I stated I had uncovered evidence the Old Knight still exists within the Realm. I found earlier a quickly scribbled note in the Crossroads Fortress from the Old Knight. It said he was off on some sort of Journey, exactly what I do not know. My impression was he was not departing our realm as of yet. Kuraari is Falcor Trist's wife. We talked a bit about how to find the Old Knight and that Falcor was off trying to find Faustus at the moment.


Then I sensed the Gatekeeper nearby. The Gatekeeper appeared and explained more to us. It is strange how the Gatekeeper seems to know much about the appearance and disappearance of notable people within the realm.

According to the Gatekeeper, the Old Knight was journeying from the crossroads fortress on a path to Shiragor but not yet ready to enter Shiragor. Shiragor is the final resting place of many old knights. He said the Old Knight approached a gate to the Underworld which is where the Gatekeeper talked to him.

Kuraari and I asked the Gatekeeper if we could venture to find the Old Knight. The Gatekeeper told us the evidence about the Old Knight exists very near the Underworld and that only I could go. *sighs* I dread going near the Underworld these days as it is a very confusing and disturbing place.

But, I told Kuraari I would go and return with what news I could uncover within the hour. We would meet again at the Mage Tower.

Regards,
Winfield



Falcor Trist killed by Faustus; Old Knight possibly found in the realm

News has carried throughout the lands quickly about the Old Knight as many searched for him. However, news now comes that is foreboding... news that seems to affect many people.

Knight Emmeril just informed me that the evil mage Faustus has killed Falcor Trist and captured his soul.

This is most dreadful for the Knights of the realm since Falcor Trist was on a journey regarding knights.

In addition, I discovered the Old Knight is now in Camelot at the headquarters for the Knights of Avalon. I did not meet the Old Knight personally, but found clues as to his interest in those knights. So I strongly suspect he is there.

We are not sure where this is leading yet.

Journal about Order of the Fallen Eagle

The book in the PaxLair library seems to have much relevance to the strange happenings today around PaxLair and the realm. We are still searching for more clues and last I saw... Emmeril was chasing Faustus around PaxLair.

Charles Pendragon of Camelot appeared as well. I am going to see what else can be learned now.

The book in the PaxLair library is well worth reviewing to give insight into what may be happening. Related link: Journal: Order of the Fallen Eagle

Vaughan brings a crystal ball to Knight Emmeril

Vaughan of L:D brought a crystal ball to Knight Emmeril in PaxLair. The ball came from the telescope near Moonglow.

Emmeril and Charles Pendragon were pursuing Faustus, and their trail went to the telescope moments ago. Now, all have returned to the Mage Tower to reason out the clues and examine the crystal ball.

Ah, they depart now for the saloon to hear more of the tales and legends coming together. This is proving most interesting today.

Atlas reports strong shifts in the magic of the realm...

While in the PaxLair Saloon, moments ago, Atlas, Keeper of the Flame (O*F), stated he felt stronger shifts in the magic today. Shifts based on evil, power, good, greed, and much more.

Atlas is not certain where he is from, as I thought perhaps his origin was why he felt these magic shifts stronger than others. He appeared suddenly at 10 years of age in the swamps near Trinsic, amidst a bright flash others had reported.

Now, he is 18 years of age now. He has always felt these magic shifts. He can not explain it except they became painful when the moon of Trammel became ground to build upon.

Camelot bound... we found the Old Knight.

Atlas and I proceeded to Camelot to see if we could find the Old Knight. We entered the headquarters of the Knights of Avalon and met Hroth-Beorth, a knight and ranger of Avalon. It took a bit of searching and the aid of the Gatekeeper, who seemed to be tagging along, to find the Old Knight. Apparently, the Old Knight was resting on an upper floor.

The Old Knight awoke and spoke to us, but he paid particular attention to the knight of Avalon. The Old Knight was interested in the Knights of Avalon and wanted to know more about their legends. The Old Knight also acknowledged Atlas's sensation of a strangeness in the magical ether. I am not sure how the Old Knight could sense magic since he is a warrior, not a mage, but who am I to doubt the capabilities of one who could be my great grandfather.

Hroth-Beorth explained to the Old Knight that the Knights of Avalon served to uphold the laws of the Goddess of Avalon, which are the common virtues of honesty and goodwill, and protecting people in need, especially travelers upon the road.

The Old Knight responded that this was also a cause of the Knights of Shiragor. I recalled a previous meeting with the Old Knight at the crossroads fortress not so long ago where we learned of the Knights of Shiragor.

The Old Knight asked if he could stay in the Knights of Avalon headquarters for a time, as he would like to learn more about them in the future. Hroth-Beorth said he was welcome.

Atlas and I then returned to PaxLair.

I am not certain what all this leads to, but there is much to learn and experience. Many lives have crossed suddenly on a single afternoon. Only time will tell what happens next.

I encourage all to follow the writings I and others have offered here between our cities and add to the information, mystery, and legends we are uncovering.

Regards,

Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair
