Dust Smugglers
Posted by Apostate on 01/20/20
Stories circulate through the city, originating among produce stalls at the markets, of the great heroism displayed by a contingent of Iron Guard who defeated a Dust-smuggling ring that threatened some farms in the Crownlands. Of Lady Kenna Acheron, whose kindness and genuine caring for the common folk was complemented by her bravery in battle, defending her allies. Of Lord Riagnon Acheron, his generosity in sharing baked goods, strange plethora of stuffed animals, and ability to remain vividly enthused while bleeding heavily. Of Baron Silas Whitehawk, whose calm leadership and swiftly rational decision-making brought him to lead a group of ragtag farmers with hoes and pitchforks against violent blade-wielding thugs, without a single casualty. Of Marquis Rymarr Deepwood, who made a vow to defend the innocent folk from their oppressors, and stood staunchly in alaracite fullplate, surrounded by enemies who could not pass his shield - until he sacrificed his defense in a heroic motion to save an ally from certain death. It's likely that while citizens of Arx will move onto other gossip sooner or later, these tales of valor will never be forgotten by the farming folk who were directly affected.
