Luir's Outpost
A steady stream of soldiers has been spotted marching down the North Road from Tuluk and the fortress at Iyun Iskandir. It seems obvious, even to the most uninformed hunter, that the soldiers are fortifying a military camp just to the north of the Outpost.
There's anxious chatter among many patrons of the outpost, some openly angry at the gaul of the Tulukis to encroach on the freedoms offered here, whilst others quietly welcome the added protection the sunburst-clad soldiers bring to the area.
Many however agree that the Tuluki numbers are not small, and most put a rough estimate at several hundred.
What is absolutely clear is that their presence has greatly disrupted trade and the flow of people in and out of the north gates of the outpost, bringing it to a near stand still.
Tuluk
Citizens of His Ivory excitedly exchange stories speculating why His Legion has been spotted fortifying a military camp just north of Luir's Outpost. Rumors of all kind swirl about, with ome citing a new war with Allanak, and others stating a move to exert control over Luir's itself and some of the rare resources nearby.
What seems obvious to most in Tuluk is the overwhelming sense of patriotism and support for the soldiers fortifying the camp, and the energy being directed towards supporting those marching out, from the city itself as well as Ayun Iskandir. Parties have been thrown, and bards sing the songs of Illuminated Faithful Marcellian, who is responsible for mobilizing the troops to further His Dream.
A new call has been extended to those looking to join up, either to the Legions, or to those who wish to serve in the Levy, with talk of a signing bonus, courtesy of the Illuminated Faithful himself.
