The Ekbirrian Job/ La Mission ekbirienne - Le Monde de Greyhawk

DC 22 Many Ekbirrian military units have beenspotted combing the shores of the Blashikmundobviously looking for something or someone. It mustbe very important for such a chase to be happening.(true, these are Storm Riders but most Tusmans can’tdistinguish the many Ekbirrian military units fromone another.)DC 23 Ekbirrians have hired pretty much any shipsailing out of Blashikdur. Most of these ships areheading south towards Sefmur, but some are headingnorth towards Khalid and Dihn.DC 28 The leader of the Ekbirrian soldiers in NorthernTusmit is called Keyn Ashir.DC 29 Couriers have been seen flying between Ekbirand the Udgru. Elohir might be thinking of throwinghis lot with the Ekbirrians. (not quite true)DC 30 Apparently an Ekbirrian princess is trying toevade the Caliph to avoid getting married to one of theCaliph’s grandsons. She might be seeking refuge herein Blashikdur (not quite true).Temple of Azor’alqThe priests are looking to mount a crusade to freeTusmit from the pockets of Worldburners that stillexist. This has little to do with the adventure and is ared herring.The temple of Azor’alq is filled with young warriorseager to learn the way of the warrior. With the returnfrom the dead of Munthir Haddad, the clergy and theworshippers have been re-energized. Munthir Haddadis currently in Sefmur speaking with the Pasha aboutthe crusade.They can also offer divination (see Divination magicslater). But they won’t offer it unless asked.Temple of Corellon LarethianA temple of Corellon is located a mile west of the gatesof Blashikdur, on the way to the Sorrow wood. Sincethe destruction of the undead army in 594CY(TUSINT4-01 All the Pasha’s horses and all the Pasha’smen), the church of Corellon has increased itspresence in Blashikdur.The half-elf priests tend to their faithful and try todisplay the Father of all Elves as a force of good. Theytry to minimize tensions between most Tusmans andthe Udgru elves. They understand both sides and praythese tensions stop.They can confirm any information about the Udgru.However, they keep their own feelings about thesituation to themselves. (They agree with the elves thatKhellersorian was murdered).If the PCs tell them of their desire to head into theUdgru, they are told that their brothers have allowedanyone to pass through the forest by way of the riveronly.They can also offer divination (see Divination magicslater). But they won’t offer it unless asked.Shrine of the Exalted Faith (EkbirrianMissionaries)The Ekbirrians established a small temple inBlashikdur, but the locals mostly ignore them. It isheavily used by Ekbirrian travelers and visitors fromthe south. If the PCs come here looking for Gebril AlMofiss, Ishmal al-Qadi or Moussef al-Qadi, the youngpriests here can tell the PCs that the three Qadi didmake a stop here for a short prayer, but they haven’tseen them for the last few days. Divinations are notoffered at the shrine (the young priest is not powerfulenough, but he recommends the temple of Istus). Theydon’t know anything about the Storm Riders operatingin Tusmit (they know about them in Ekbir, but haven’tmet them here to think they are more than Ekbirrianmercenaries. If the PCs tell them the name of theleader (Keyn Ashir), the Ekbirrians can tell the PCsthey are known to serve the Lord of Dezbat, but littleelse.Temple of the True FaithThe much larger temple of the True Faith is more thana little annoyed by the coming of the Ekbirrians. Manypreachers spread the word of the Restorer ofRighteousness, just to counter the advances made bythe Exalted Faith. They don’t know of Gebril, Ishmal orMoussef. They don’t know anything about the StormRiders, except that they don’t try to convert people tothe Exalted Faith (which they find suspicious).The Mullahs have no information to give the PCs.They can also offer divination (see Divination magicslater. But they won’t offer it unless asked.University of Baklunish StudiesIf the PCs go the University trying to find informationabout the Udgru, people direct them to ProfessorAssad, dean of Elven studies. No one else knows anymore about the situation of the Udgru.Asking about a princess in Ekbir, there are more than150 princesses who can claim the title.EKB5-06/TUS5-07 The Ekbirrian Job Page 13
