Reign of Winter: The Snows of Summer [IC]

Griss

Griss, the woman you noted is easily recognizable as a Varisian woman, which is not very common in Taldor (but not exceptionally rare, either).

You continue to enjoy (or hate, your choice) your meal of roasted falcon with rosemary, pistachios and malabar chestnuts with a salad of steamed broadleaf arrowhead, elephant foot yam and cherries.

Griss, what will you drink with your meal?

Amanu

During his strolls around the edges of he village (which I assume are the edges of the areas the village claims and not the town proper, which is tiny), Amanu will hear a racket like a lot of bees. Though it sounds like more bees than he would think, indicating their might be a hive nearby, it is also the sign of good summer activity. Even the air is a good, dry, warm day. Not too warm, sure, but it was a nice day nevertheless. There is nothing indicative in or around Heldren that there is "unseasonable weather."

Asking around for a few hours during the afternoon and into the late afternoon, Amanu learns a lot of gossip.

Everyone says the weather is unseasonably cold for midsummer—it even snowed in the Border Wood! Most suspect magic is involved, and some fear Qadiran agents played a role in it.

Old Man Dansby claims that someone keeps stealing from his fields. His farm lies closest to the Border Wood, where half his crops have died from an icy frost and the rest have been carried off.

A farmer’s son took ill a few days ago after falling through the ice over Wishbone Creek. The boy said he spotted a white stag in the forest—and heard it talking—then tried to follow it.

Isolde

Isolde gets into town. It seems there was a minor dance that was going to be held in the Town Square, but with the rumors of strange weather and a waylaid noble's train, there will be a normal Starday-night evening. Which means the only action (or interaction) one is likely to have will be at the Silver Stoat.

Drina

Dinner tonight is roasted falcon with rosemary, pistachios and malabar chestnuts with a salad of steamed broadleaf arrowhead, elephant foot yam and cherries. With a good meal and a glass of (basic b***h) wine, the total comes to 5 silver. All Drina has is gold, so she pays with a gold measure, and gets five silver weight in change.
