The rumor about the inn is that there's a third contender to win the heart of the most eligible thirteen-year-old in the party. Even his name, "Dirk" just exudes a suggestion of broad shoulders, cleft chin, and a boyish smile. The important question, however, is who caught the bouquet?
Dunyazade and Jabril do so have a love plot!
Dunyazade and Jabril, who comprise the backbone of the Al-Jabaran jet set here in Gelan, are apparently an item. This charismatic couple has been seen together at many of the haunts around town, and are known to go off together on "adventures". Scandalous! Rumor has it that all has not gone smoothly. Dunyazade went to great lengths to bring Jabril exotic gifts such as a phoenix feather and a flying carpet. These were accepted by Jabril with nothing but the merest whisper of thanks. Things must have been put to rights, however, Dunyazade recently introduced Jabril to her family for approval. Do we hear wedding bells?
The dashing and mysterious Harwin has long caught the eye of our Names & Faces staff, not only for his nocturnal adventures, but for the persistent linking of his name with that of a handsome Avani Legionnaire. Sources differ, however, as to whether Harwin is playing Dark Tem to the legionnaire's Tam, or playing Sneaky Jord to the legionnaire's Rush. Whichever it is, this pair will be one to watch for in the future.
Zhan D'gar of the Broken Clan of Vakels, otherwise known as The Orcslayer, has shown a more sensitive side recently. Besides ruthlessly scouring the countryside for orcs, he has a passion for jewel collecting. Some strange foreign tradition? An eccentric hobby? Or perhaps a betrothal present for Miss Zilda Davi-ellen, in whom our local hero has shown much interest!
Digging up any dirt at all on the ever-close-mouthed Weythran has been difficult, but we are nothing if not perserverant. Finally, however, his true origin has come to light. As everyone knows, the process of Breaking converts humans into orcs. As everyone may not know, there is a similar process called Fixing which, usually after long and arduous quests, allows a Broken creature to becom UnBroken. From north of the River, with a mysterious and tragic past, and with an obvious (if cryptic) Destiny - it's clear, Weythran is a Fixed orc!
A possible fourth contender for Sunny's affections has been overlooked, no doubt because of his height. But who can forget the ever-charming Joe, the ubiquitous and all-knowing ghetto gnome? Certainly it did not escape our attention that he became quite concerned when he thought she might have been poisoned. And as all gnomes are romantics at heart, who knows what the future will hold for this pair?
A spokesman for Jabril and Dunyazade today issued a categoric denial of love plot. "There is no love plot. He never had a love plot with that woman!" the spokesman emphasized. When queried further about why Dunyazade and Jabril had a joint spokesman, or whether the spokesman was using the Avani "is" or the more formal 'al Jabaran "is", the spokesman had no comment.
We have until now refrained from printing gossip about Leila, Gelan's own and only priest of the Goddess, and breaker of hearts about town, because for the most part by the time anything about her romantic entanglements sees print, it's long obsolete. However, upon reflection, this is unfair to our readers, who count on us to provide a fair and unbiased accounting of the goings-on of the party. Thus, we include here, for the first time ever, the best list that we can come up with of Leila's romances. Bartholomew Webster, a blue apprentice at the College, found his spells of ice and snow melted by her warm heart. Rourke, a Gelani guardsman, proved invaluable in defending Zhan, but could not defend himself against her wiles. And regardless of what his spokesman might be claiming, we did see Jabril and Leila off on an exotic week-long caravan to lovely and romantic Fort Point. And, when the Gelani citizens proved less than adequatel entertaining, she found more than ample excitement in the graceful moves of Raoul, the tightrope walker. Rumor has it that she received a lengthy tour of his circus wagon...
Hmm. We thought there were more than this.
Rumor has it that Jabril is using techniques perfected in 'al Jabar to eliminate all rivals to his position as most persuasive and charismatic individual in Gelan. First, he arranges for the banishment of Carrington, a skilled haggler. Next, he sows division and mistrust amidst the ranks of TiRinian's agents, finally driving away the charismatic Chyra. And when the subtler approach failed, he settled for the direct-- orchestrating the death of Althaneus, a prominent sea-based merchant. Could his next target be Joe, the charming gnome? Stay tuned to find out more...
Our sources in Avani report a remarkable amount of chemistry between Chyra and Zhan. First, our reporters note, there was never an adequate explanation offered for why Chyra was travelling with the rest of the party to Avani in the first place. Second, Chyra's continual pestering and criticism of Zhan, complete with insistence on following him hither and yon, will be familiar to those of our readers who have gone through grade school. Our plot speculators place good odds on a daring and life-saving rescue coming soon.
New scoop on the lovely Zilda, the student of green magic who has the admiration of the dread Orcslayer, Zahn. We had disapproved of his attention in the light of Zilda's obvious devotion to her boy-next-door paramour in Korn 'n' Kern. We have recently learned, however, that Zilda only writes to her childhood sweetheart in order to regain burned out magic points. It seems that Zahn really does have the interest of Zilda, but one wonders how long it will be before she writes a "Dear Zahn" letter?
After all this time, we have not had any decent gossip on our favorite nominee for Rainbow Mage, Rel TiRinian. Our dear audience need wait no longer. It turns out that John and Sara Miller are old friends of Mage TiRinian's. Sara lived in Gelan, when John and Rel attended the College. A love triangle seems certain! As if the tragedy weren't enough, what about John's injury which keeps him in his wheelchair? And as for the wheelchair itself, could it have been made by our clever Purple Mage? And finally, whatever could have happened in Gelan that made John and Sara move so far from home?
