In the aftermath of the horrible destruction of parts of the city the Merchant council seems to have at least in part come together. There is still much distention and rumors of godly visitations but a few unifying forces have been prevailing.
The former suspected pirate now legitimate businessman?? has beaten, bullied and threatened many of the well to do into assisting in the rebuilding of the town proper. Sacrificing his former holdings of the Convent of the Black Madeline for the good of all.
Working in concert a a reasonably well connected merchant has stepped up to help the troubled and distraught servant of "Mother" Isis de Zenaro. It is rumored that Mother Isis has gone into a seclusion and on holy pilgramage and may not even know of the destruction of her former manner. However her chamberlain has gone to great lengths to secure her inheritance against the conniving merchants who were using a clause in the land agreements to push her out and remove a rival. Thanks to her chamberlain and the assistance of the local merchant, also proprietor of the new Inn next to the former Guard House, Isis de Zeranro has bee granted a writ of land.
A new home mannor with adjoining estate (slightly smaller) shall be built by the remaining de Zenaro, Mother Isis within two years. The land deeded shall adjoin the the once Convent of the Black Madeline and the de Zenaro's shall be expected to extend the city wall to surround this new extension of the city and estate. Again offer protection and sustenance in times of war to the needy. Should this be completed then the deed shall become permanent.
What started as conflict in the merchant chambers has been settled. In wake of the disasters the merchants have come to common cause under the leading force of M'Kael MicVicci (ooc: hahahaha couldn't resist) a long time member of the merchant council. Dating his lineage back almost as far as the de Zenaro's. Utilizing the remains of the former de Zenaro's manor, quarrying stone locally, using the felled tree's from the storm and clearing of the new de Zenaro estate and sinking massive amounts of both personal and city funds into the project the first three buildings of the new University are complete. Focusing on architecture, philosophy and logical learning. Even now the money expended is coming back in the way of learned instructors defecting from Laibach, Trento and Klagenfurt bringing with them copies of rare books from those libraries. Also is the in flood of nobles from abroad who are moving into many of the newly rebuilt structures and bringing even more wealth, knowledge and prosperity to Trieste.
In a clever move the Pirate... uh merchant Amphion the Theban has manipulated the incoming nobility into purchasing his newly rebuilt structures adding space and gardens to each (essentially creating a wealthy district) and part of their contracts is to pay for the upkeep of smaller affordable apartments that he has built for the the de-homed populace. It is said he has also re-invested some of his new found profits into aiding the locals in expanding and rebuilding their businesses.
The local hunters have unexpectedly united behind a woman. A woman by the name of Inda who had always fought off the sad advances of her counterparts. But in recent years has gained a reputation that exceeds most of the local men in competence and toughness. In a deterrent to the wolves that plague the territories north of Trieste they local fur trappers, hunters and rangers have set traps to prevent the Wolves from preying locally.
Near a year ago some minor tremors were felt and the resulting shifting of the ground finished the leveling of both the guard tower and the Convent. What was once above ground has sunk into the cellars and both to this day remain nothing more than near level rocky terrain.
Though everything from the North is calm there have been strange rumors of things in the sea. Fisherman going out and never to be seen again as well as some strange attacks along the near coast.
