// Bear in mind that the map is patrolled heavily enough it requires what amounts to a guild key item (Writ of Service) to even access the area. This isn't a DM only area, it's a physical location ingame that you can travel to, added in the recent updates.

*The red headed tiefling Niyressa would be coming every day, for at least a time, checking up on the camp, joining others to exchange news or join for training, then focusing her powers to continue mapping and monitoring the area with her magic*

The small shadowy elf finds a place upon on the watch tower while she is not below and aiding in the training of the scouts. There are times where she watches where she is visible and times in which very few hold the skills to take notice of her. Her wintery blues constantly scan the area, mentally taking notes of the progress as well as the coming and goings of the people into the camp and who they are traveling with.

When off of the perch and not training scouts she is seen working with the fighters... learning their habits while also explaining how to add in other tactics to better keep an enemies attention... so that those that who best do their work while flanking the enemy can move in. Teamwork is something that she seems to be stressing more; past elven military training becoming a bit more noticeable to those she is working with. Communication key words and small hand signals are also added to those that she pairs up with in these drills.

A mage in midnight blue, Morgan Rhywm, is seen at the camps, ostensibly working for the commander of the magi, Niyressa. Curt and cold, he frequents the camp in order to practice his abjurations on the fort walls in order to fortify the camp beyond what mere wood or stone can provide.

He is seen on the edge of the camp, muttering rhymes both foreign and possibly delved from the depths of the soldiers' own childhoods. Otherworldly tendrils snake across the fields of potential battle, and incendiary clouds blanket the edges of the river as he practices the various forms of defense of the fortress for any invading forces.

That said, there are a few rhymes that he cuts off before their completion, and he offers the bleak landscape a wintery smile to match whatever forces that may be watching.

After all, one shouldn't ever tip the entirety of one's hand.

Aaron spends much of his time, when not seeing to Radiant Heart business, at Triel Fort. After several training sessions in, he began searching for Nathan. The troop would need more information on the enemy; numbers, locations of encampments, magic prowess, etc. If he was to be tasked with leading the endeavors against these threats, he would certainly not do so like some "Kick in the door" adventurer. So many people he had met during his years serving the people were simply... Lacking in intelligence, strategy, or basic common sense. Most would simply wish to charge in to a thousand enemies simply because of some "God Complex" and a feeling of invulnerability. He had seen too many good men and women die during battles, he would do what was necessary to keep as many alive that were under his leadership here. He shook his head to clear the thoughts of the foolish who simply wished to rush about and die doing so. Once locating Nathan he would inquire on the scouting tasks.

Enielli of House Aldren, would visit the fort often with her lute in hand. She would play songs of inspiration to the troops garrisoned there. Trying her best to lift their spirits with a smile and soft or playful melody. When not playing she would help the others where she could, unloading supplies, or storing things away at the camp. Though before long, she'd have her lute in hand again singing to those at Fort Triel.

Today the mages of the auxilary militia have met for the second time, after sharing updates and ideas and other agenda, they have then moved towards the old temple ruins and under the eye of Mystran mage Sirion engaged in Mage Duels as part of their combat training to get everyone in battle spirits.

A group of those aiding in the defense of Triel gathered to practice unit training together. The first few battles of "Attackers" vs "Defenders" went off, with some discussion on improvements of formations and tactics. Followed by a switching of teams and another round. A final exercise was conducted with those who could summon summoning enemies for a group of defenders to combat.

All in all formations were discussed, the need to for quick spell casting practiced, and deploying against surprise attacks.

The tiny elf stood over looking the valley below, the breeze blew and aided in the escaping of several strands of her silvery locks from the ribbon that had attempted to tie her hair back. Reaching her left hand up, she tucked the larger loose strands back behind a pointed ear before then bringing up a hood that would better ensure that a glint of her silvery hair wouldn't give her away. She was dressed in her leathers rather than the more "knightly" clothes that had amused her. She found it oddly humorous that suddenly everyone had started calling her a knight after tailoring that outfit and cloak. The pack on her back was lighter than she normally carried, scouting missions only called for bringing half the bag of tricks. Oh sure, there were still the bottle of "oh shite" to aid in getting out of the tight spots, but the other vials, trinkets, and scrolls weren't necessary for these missions. This wasn't familiar territory to her at all... the wilds weren't where she thrived... something she would look into improving. The elf wasn't too proud to admit in where she was weakest, this is why one worked with a team and so she waited for the others to join her so they could head off together. Scouting in pairs was always best, traveling with a few more to cover a bit more area, would in this case be better. Patiently she waited for them so that they could retrieve the much needed information the group needed about these hobgoblins. When they arrived she inclined her head to each one, her expression serious and focused... she tries very hard not to take point and charge of this mission... this to keep it apparent that this isn't only an Order of the Radiant Heart project, but rather instead a group effort of those that wish to aid the Hellriders with their issue with the hobgoblins.

Wandering, alone, did broad-shouldered warrior-poet, Finn, seek out to learn who may have sent prayer on paper, bearing the Doombringer’s symbol, beckoning with mereley the word “Triel”. Comrade revealed said note to Finn some time ago and thus far, not a singular answer had been found.

Finn asked stationed Hellriders and random folk in the region alike, hoping to find the one who sent out a plea for vengeance delivered for deed done wrong...

It was colder here than south. But the cold air felt good to the former Purple Dragon, Royal Scout. The cold breeze came from the west he could feel the long purple feather in his signature bycroket cap sway. It was more than decoration but few outside the ranks of Scouts and Archers would understand the reason for it. He noted the wind and its direction. Planning his patrols to keep downwind of the Hobgobling Forces harassing the effort of the Hell Riders. One final check of the multiple quivers on himself as the Order of the Radiant Heart’s newest scout Nigel Blaquehawke set about his early morning patrols. The sun wasn’t even up but the glow was barely seen in the horizon. Slipping into the shadows the skilled ranger moved at full speed across the terrain. Stoping randomly for a security stop. Stop, look, listen and feel. That half elven heritage set to work as that slight “knife ear” to good work.

Hours spent mapping out trails, natural obstacles, choke points fast points of egress in and out of the area and more important. Setting up location for Ranger Dead Drops of supplies. In these clandestine caches Nigel set up a few healing kits, a spare short sword and a bow, unstrung of course and a quiver of basic arrows. A ration as well. By sun fall Nigel nearer the banks of the small river that lead to the Fortified Hilltop crowned with walls of cut lumber ending in sharp points. Where the Hellrider camp was. He slipped out of the shadows and headed to the wagon back to Dutchal Lands to give his report and finding to his immediate commander Boots of the patrol and Ranger Drop locations. As well as a on ground assessment for patrol routes and areas that would best suited for battle fields.

The High Lady of the Halls of Inner Light, spends a few days out at the outpost at Triel base, and offers up a Mithral Breastplate along with a large donation of Healing kits. She provides assistance at the Medical Tent working along side the Illmatari healers with a warm smile and kind demeanor. While doing this she lightly and calmly collects information from those injured Burdusk Guantlet men and women along with the injured hellriders about where the conflict happened, whom they fought with, what sort of skills and magic they encountered, and does her best to improve their moral while they are on the mend with comforting and calming aura.
