For weeks now, there have been rumours about the village of an army of Centaurs on the march, headed our way.
Now it seems that those rumours are true!
Two Centaurs, one, apparently a Prince among them, have shown themselves in the village of Lyrean.
One is called "Prince Solomon" The other appears to be the Prince's adviser and is called Felidar.
Some mention of a "camp" has been made, although it is not clear whether anyone has seen said camp yet.
We have heard the sounds of many hoof beats, along with shouting in a foreign language.
The Prince and his adviser, at least, seem to have a good grasp of our language.
There have been additional sightings in the jungle, and the reports indicate that the creatures are very large, extremely fast, and deadly accurate with a bow and arrows.
Research conducted by various villagers has found, so far, that they seem to mostly excel in archery, astrology, and warfare.
As of now, we do not know why they are here or what they want. Some of the rumours have hinted that they desire to take our land, but that has not been confirmed.
Anyone with additional information on this race, sightings, their activities, or anything related, should post it here, so we may be better prepared for whatever is to come of this.

Keep your eyes out for clues, hints, and, of course, updates on the happenings here. Ideally, anytime something happens in Lyrean concerning this, someone will come here and post an update regarding it, so we don't have to wade through pages and pages of chat to get caught up.

A noise was heard late during the evening in Lyrean, just on the outskirts of the Jungle. Those with keen noses could smell it. Something strange was nearby. Soon, the sound of hooves could be heard, retreating from the Village. A flash of a large lion went out to follow the creature, presumably, Roxy's daughter, Arabella. Moreta soon arrived into the village, having seen it, describing the creature as "Bloody HUGE." Roxy followed after her daughter, and Moreta after her.

Lilly, BlueIce's squire, arrived from the Jungle soon after Roxy left to find her daughter, explaining frantically about having "nearly been run over by" a centaur while gathering herbs. As she made her way back to the village quickly, she passed Roxy's daughter, Bella, running after the centaur, in her lion form.

At some point today a Centaur, the prince entered the square. Vittoria, being quick to anger these days for some reason, approached him and in his language, but very poorly and roughly, asked what he was doing in Lyrean. Instead of answering the question, he seemed somewhat surprised Vittoria knew his language (though it's not so surprising if people knew her history! =p) and asked where she learned. Vittoria gave a brief explanation, and offered a smile at the end, but Soloman refused to smile and instead wandered to the fountain and began to study the village while Angelica cried and Elijah attempted to shush her.

Last night, (RL realm time), We found Bella in the jungle, after having gone after one of the centaurs. She was unconscious and had an arrow embedded in her hind leg. (lioness form). The arrow was successfully removed. We still don't know exactly what happened, but hope to hear an accounting from her once she is feeling up to talking.

After a chat with her daughter about the previous night, it seemed that the attack on Arabella had been mostly out of self defense. The Centaur, thinking the lioness had been attacking, struck first and quickly fled. Luckily for her, the Centaur's vision couldn't quite keep up with her quick speed and missed the fatal blow by hitting her leg, instead. She will recover fine and quickly, possibly even within a couple of days.

well, i could be mistaken, but it seems, my squire,(laran, or as i call her sometimes, laranika) has gotten one of their bows, due souly to the fact that she didn't have it yesterday and she won't say where she got it from...
i've been lucky, but, as things don't seem to be hostile, i don't get involved. but i just keep training, just incase...

Currently, Ash is out looking for Moreta, Bella and Roxy. Seeing as he has no way of knowing they're already back, he is still out looking for them.

what ever happened to the arrow on bella's leg, from what lunar saw last night, it looked like she was poisoned. not sure if that is still true, but, everything was leading to that...

Prince centaur entered the village today, watched the villagers. He then went over to the fountain, stayed a while and then left.

I don't know if this is related, but I figure anything out of the ordinary happening right now may be relevant.... The witch doctor came shuffling out of the jungle earlier today and did some weird ritualistic .. thing.. with chanting that got really loud. Then, when everyone was quiet and paying attention to her, she said this weird riddle and then left. She didn't say anything else in our language.
Here is the riddle:
It seems an isle, masked in cloud From there is viewed the army proud Stand ye alone in mists unseen. Share with all what you may glean.
I think we really ought to try and figure out what this means! It could be very important.

-listens a moment before attempting to decode some of the riddle-
It seems an isle, masked in cloud[/color] Hmm.. an island (or possibly just a remote location,) hidden by cloud.. or maybe something keeping the island from plain sight.. From there is viewed the army proud[/color] From there ( from the island?) is viewed (watched) the army.. the army is watched from the island, perhaps? Stand ye alone in mists unseen.[/color] You stand alone in unseen.. mist? or maybe surroundings? Share with all what you may glean.[/color] Share to everyone (including the centaurs?) what you may glean/collect.
Hmm.. what is it that we collect, or have, that the centaurs may want from us? If we figure that out, there may just be a peaceful solution. That is, if the riddle and the centaurs are connected..

i was thinking the same, but, perhaps, if we find this cloud island, we'll find an army on it, and, we're better united then all alone, not to hide what we know, but to shae it with others in lyrean,
maybe the centaurs really are prepairing for a war, and, what th witch doctor did, was taking some sort of poison or bacteria out of the water...
just my thoughts...
