Greetings all, I hope you all made it home well from Caledonia. Upon this gathering upon the surface I have taken it upon myself to record information regarding events happening. Of course, I had to return to Zaphress early so I am sure there will be more information to add to that in which I have found. 

Maltor

My first report is that of a creature which I have been assured from several Tarantulans as a Demon-Fae. He marched into the Tarantulan camp on Saturday, claiming to be under the protection of the mages guild - while the camp was only inhabited by myself, Lady Kh'raine and her Patron. When questioned why he was there, he stated that he was in the camp "because I can be here." 

I did some investigative work, as the curious beastkin I am I wanted to find out more about this creature. His appearance was similar to that of my own a stripe across his face, black and red - much like that of a Beastkin and with large black horns which curved upwards - he did however confirm he was not a beastkin but a Demon of D'Bluthe (not sure if I have spelt that correctly, is confusing to a beastkin). HE came preaching and promoting freedom from tyranny of the "oppression" of the Tarantulan nation of the Underdark claiming that the city was lawless and free. He stated that the transport circle to get there was "safe" to use, when asked how one got there (as I have never been there). Upon this conversation I manged to determine that he is of a Living Pattern and was not in a Beguiled state and he also stated he had come here of his own will and not that of Satoone - however he was unwilling to allow me to discern any wounds, pattern affects, poisons nor diseases as he then drew a dagger upon me. While trying to discern using the help of Lady Kh'Raine - he used a strike down. He also blasted her, and was able to cause people to go to sleep - this leads me to believe he is a mage of some description, hence why he has joined that guild. 

He stated that the people of D'Bluthe had agreements that they could not kill or steal from eachother and that there was no leader of authoroty among them and that they were "free" from the oppression of the Tatrantulan nation. 

Cathayans

I was among others when people from Cathay came to visit the faction camp, seeking help from the nations of Erdreja. They stated they were diplomats of the Jade Emperor. They came stating they had declared war with Nihon and were not seeking help in the war effort but rather seeking access to lands devastated by the Wellspring of Evil, they wished to relocate refugees to these lands. 

They stated that their refugees were not fighters and could not offer us help in aiding with the Demon-Fae problem - which would have put their people at rick living in the Underdark as it is not the safest of places to begin with. They then stated that if the answer was a "no" to taking in refugees then it will have "consequences to a negative answer." I believe due to this this is when they have targeted the Tarantulan nation by attempting to gather power to Satoone and are building a "weapon" to use against other nations. 

Beastkin Meeting

As many people are aware, Awakened races are having bad dreams; the BEastkin stated that a Demon known as "The View" who had 5 eyes appeared and claimed he could fix the stone. This demon is claiming to be from several different Orders, the beastkin tried to summon this demon to gain more information but the rite was unsuccessful. 

The stone was spoken to via Rite and was stated that Dwarves could hear hammering on anvils and Beastkin heard sounds and smelt "the hunt" - the wind and the scent of Prey. They stated this was a positive sign. 

The Beastkin Awakening stone is safe and was not handed over to the demons.
