A New Chapter for Our Great City – Welcome to the Oracle

A strange Break and Enter involving prototype weapons and archanical components found at the scene of the crime leaves residents and authorities confused.

Last night, residents of Clear Street were awoken to a strange sound that pulsed through the neighbourhood in the early hours of the morning. While some took no notice, a handful of vigilant individuals notified the authorities to the noise saying it sounded like a low and deep thrumming.

Thinking they were being called to a regular sound complaint, the authorities arrived at the house that seemed to be the epicentre of the sound only to find a baffling scene before them.

The house, belonging to a young couple who was away for the week visiting family in Granger, was found empty, with a strong scent of pine and sulphur, and in the basement a cluttered mess of machine parts, archanical mechanisms, fuel sources and a host of strange looking weapon prototypes.

The authorities have since inspected the scene and confiscated the evidence, but all traces of who was behind the weapons and the strange noise in the night have vanished.

“It’s deeply unsettling, knowing someone was in your house and plotting for something. We will be sleeping one eye open for the next little bit.” - 

A unit of guards have been posted in the area to patrol and look for any signs of suspicious activity.

If you know anything more about this story, authorities are urging everyone with information to come forward, so that the criminal behind this strange crime can be brought to justice and so the good people of DualPort may once again rest easy.

Sylla Vainscroft performed in the Crystalpol Vocalarium her penultimate show of her Light and Shadow tour across the continent of Toth.

As if a piece of the heavens’ light descended upon the streets of Dualport, so too did the heavenly song of Sylla Vainscroft brighten the streets of the city this past weekend.

Article 3 Image Travelling the length and breadth of the continent showcasing her newest work, “The Tale of Light and Shadow”, of which Vainscroft performed her penultimate show of her Tour last night in the Crystapol Vocalarium. People from near and far travelled to witness the musical spectacle and nobles and lay folk alike were transported away on a mystical journey of sound, light and magic, as the famed singer and wizard performed a show of a lifetime.

Composed of three movements, Vainscroft first stunned audiences with a melancholy ensemble of vocal artistry recollecting the wonders of Tao. The haunting melodies paired with the awe inspiring arcane conjurations of auras and energies told the tale of the founding of the great city of old and enchanted the audience into a receptive and reflexive outlook for the second movement.

Beginning with a bang of literal and figurative proportions, Vainscroft‘s second movement painted the dramatic and tragic tale of The Fall of Tao. The exquisite dance of arcane energy, electrified the atmosphere and the angelic voice of Sylla painted the Vocalarium with vivid shades of triumph, defeat, war and peace and moving into the third movement, nary a dry eye was left in the hall.

Finally ending the night, Vainscroft’s third movement, Titled “the Reckoning of the Shadow”, brought the show to a climactic conclusion in a finale that seemed to rock the foundations of the city itself. The use of arcane fire and light, thaumaturgic vocal alterations and Vainscroft’s sheer musical power created such a spectacle that when it was all over, the hall was left in speechless silence for almost a minute before thunderous applause erupted.

A performance of this magnitude will truly be remembered in the hearts and minds of the people of our city for years to come. Sylla Vainscroft is among the great bards of our time and her performance this week earned her a rune carved in the Hall of Wonder, which will be opened to the public later this month.

The rune will project a brief moment of the third movement depicting the climactic victory over Arcblight.

If Music is a deep magic, Sylla enchanted the Dualport with a beautiful spell which will resonate for years to come.
