The hill in the NW of Gosterwick is called the Hill of the Gods, home to all temples. Four of the Ten (Demma, Mitra, Lucreon, and Heschius Ban) have individual temples staffed with full-time clerics. The House of the Gods is the large shared temple for the other gods. [archive | 2025-03-22]
Rumors & Reports
-
A unique source of magical energy exists inside the plateau, drawing creatures and inquisitive mages. It can be manipulated by powerful mages for good or for ill; look for orange rocks. [rumors | 2025-03-19]

We were waiting to take the lift down to the troll market when a huge troll exiting the lift asked us a question in surprisingly good Thorcin! It wanted to know if we had seen one of its fellow hunters, a troll named Bedara. When we said no, the troll spat and wouldn’t say another word. I got the feeling that they’d be real friendly if you could find this Bedara. [rumors | 2025-03-19]

Gog is a barmy old goblin living in an underground grotto near the arena. He barters information for meat, especially beastman meat, and claims he was exiled from the goblin court due to the treachery of another goblin named Mook. [rumors | 2025-03-21]

Graffiti found on stairs in the Pyramid reads (in Archontean): “I told Robin not to touch the eyes. Now his picks are mine.” [rumors | 2025-03-21]
Discoveries & Observations
-
The party has not observed significant changes to the water level in Gosterwick, though it’s early spring when rivers run high from melting snow. [archive | 2025-03-23; general | 2025-03-23]

A cursed torch recovered by the party was Remove Cursed and placed in a wheelbarrow with a “Do Not Touch” sign. The party decided to keep it rather than sell, as light appears important to Thoth and may have unexpected uses. [weeklylootthread | 2025-03-21 through 2025-03-23]
Religious & Cultural Notes
-
Having a friend who is a cleric of a temple grants “friendly cleric discount rates” for spellcasting services at that temple. Those without such connections pay higher “heathen unbeliever rates.” Vael can get Remove Curse cast at book rate at the Temple of Demma if accompanied by Ioannes, who can do the talking.
