Military: Summon a Hero Neferkare Elephant Hunter roll 10: Upon his ascension, Aspelta Oases Seeker summons all the finest Alodite hunters to the ancestral stelae. Each of the 7 hunters summoned are each given one job. The hunter that brings the greatest trophy after 3 moons will be granted the privilege of becoming the Seeker's right hand.

On the day of reckoning, only three hunters return. One returns with a chain of a dozen human skulls, impressive for sure, but only skulls. Aspelta couldn't be satisfied with only skulls and no choice cuts. Clearly this hunter was holding out on him. The second hunter arrived on the back of a large ostrich but otherwise empty-handed. It takes courage to come back empty-handed when so many hunter did not come back at all, but alas more than courage is needed for these times. The third hunter returned nearly dead but with a gigantic tusk over each shoulder. With a combination of courage and guile the third hunter was somehow able to single-handedly take down a bull Sikarian Bush elephant, and in a feat of endurance carried the beasts enormous tusks to the ancestral stelae. This elf, Neferkare, shall become the Seeker's right hand.

• The Aspelta's dynasty heir has preventing completed the coming of age ritual. Named Shebitku The Large, the world waits to see what this new man is capable of.
  
• Neferkare The Elephant Hunter was defeated by a violet elf from the lands to the east. Unaware of their nocturnal proficiency, confident in his tracking abilities Nerferkare foolishly slept in a tree while she dishonorably stole his prey
  
• A human tribe from the west has begun trespassing on elfen hearing lands. While many of the trespassers are summarily hunted and butchered, this will not be the end of the incursions
