Armond Arhesian was a reporter who wrote for the Ravens Bluff Trumpeter broadsheet in Ravens Bluff in the late 14th century DR.[1]
History[]
Armond Arhesian's most notable article was published in Uktar-Nightal of the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR[note 1]. The reporter interviewed Ambassador Belakira from Thay regarding her complaint against the adventurers of Ravens Bluff. Armond listed the accusations' specifics and reported on the Ambassador placing the blame on a new lord in the City of Ravens, Lorien Darkarrow. He also stated that the accusations had little evidence and were on shaky ground at best. Lastly, Armond Arhesian stated that Mayor Thoden interviewed the young lord at Fort Thoden. He had an alibi. Darkarrow was allegedly hurt by a black dragon's acid and sharp teeth, but his bodily wounds were the proof. According to the Trumpeter, Sir Voltroy of Lathander was tasked by Mayor Thoden with casting healing spells on the crippled Lord.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
