Azureside

Summary

Azureside is a Pact-linked settlement near Heartmoor, known for its cherry orchards, merfolk connections, and a seaweed-stone temple that resisted dragon acid. Its communities were strained by diseased land, dragon payment demands, and Dollarmen thefts before Peridita’s smoke assault caused panic, possession, choking, and evacuation toward Threeleigh. The party also used Azureside as an information point while investigating the Goliath city and Peridita’s wider threat.

Known Details

  • Azureside has cherry orchards that looked diseased on day-40, with abandoned bushels and plagued earth Morgana connected to the Poison Dragon. User clarification identifies Peridita as the cause of the Azureside poisoned land and the sickly Goliaths, with Noxia as a possible but unconfirmed component.
  • Nearby Heartmoor had been overtaken by plague after Carl left town; Alana and the guild were trying to run things.
  • The cobbler’s shop served as town hall, with Greysock Soulspindle, Ahlabre / Alizabesh Azure, and Captain Spratt present.
  • A seaweed-stone temple was immune to dragon acid.
  • Firevine, Cheery & Cherry, and Saphire Shores are locations within Azureside.
  • The Cheery & Cherry was a dodgy pub used by Dollarmen and their black-eyed snake-bottom boss.
  • On Day 36, the party went to Azureside to speak to the merfolk and gather information about the Goliath city; a statue to Hydrath was present. This was previously transcribed as Azurescale.
  • On day-41, Azureside was evacuated toward Threeleigh after Peridita’s smoke caused panic, possession, choking, woodlice, invisible-bug hallucinations, and a threat that all Pacts were off.

Open Questions

  • How exactly did Peridita poison the Azureside land and Goliaths, and was Noxia involved?
  • Is Heartmoor’s plague part of the same Peridita / possible Noxia effect, or a related but separate crisis?
  • What is the payment arrangement with the dragons?
  • What was the relationship between the Dollarmen, the Cheery & Cherry, the plague, and the cursed lands?
  • What remains of Azureside after the evacuation?
