Velmix Up to Old Tricks

(The Provinces: 3 Akroeg 357)

Years ago, the name of Velmix was whispered in certain quarters as he stealthily tried to raise an army for "The One and True King." This gave way to the rumors of the resurfacing of the dead elven Lord Teiro, since Velmix was attempting to garner the support and loyalty of elves.

I am unaware of any direct reference by Velmix to any name, let alone Teiro. But I am not elven, and was not approached. There are those elders in the Realms who could probably say for sure and help sort out the facts from the rumors which were rampant during that awful time.

Now suddenly Velmix has resurfaced, and is once again recruiting specifically elves for "The One and True King." According to some sources who held some conversations with him, he is doing this to raise an army and reclaim the land back to those it belongs to. He still communicates through his raven familiar at times, just as he was said to have done years ago.

If you happen upon him, he is dangerous, and his staff seems to make some poisonous dust or smoke or gas. He was seen near at least one of those awful Goblin invasions west of the Crossing last week.

To further add to this mystery, Alishana reports that at the Necropolis in Aesry Surlaenis’a, there is a headstone that marks the gravesite of one "Velmix Strawn, born 199 years after the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer, died 225 years AtV."
