Events:
38th -- Sunken Glory -- North of the Island is the cavernous deep of the North Sylirian Basin. Within those darkened depths is a graveyard of sunken ships. One of the sunken ships is pushed more towards the island’s north shore. It lays on its side mostly submerged in the water amongst the rocky grags of the Island’s rocky Northern borders and waters. The guard report this anomaly as the sunken ship graveyard known as Sunken Glory is largely off limits due to its dangers. There is worry that this sunken ship so close will draw the dark creatures from the haunted North Sylirian Basin. What secrets does it hold?
51st -- Hidden Doors – The Silver Watchtower has been acting strangely. The ‘h’ section has been flashing at night for brief ticks for several days since the change to Fall season. The night before the flares occurred like a bad storm. Noises come from the top of the tower as the researcher, Asi’kvi, investigates. The following morning Asi’kvi is found unconscious and non-responsive. The Guard and the Opal Temple get the Konti researcher to the Temple’s medical facility as she is made comfortable but she has not returned to consciousness. What caused the change and How will the Konti wake the researcher? Asi’kvi’s research will become needed more than ever.
