Random thought

Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on everything to prove its Orthodoxy.
-- Father Stephen in Glory to God for All Things

18 - Treaties, goodbyes and more war ahead

Raisse is right that the title of baron isn’t hereditary: barons are appointed by the Crown. However, if a baron has an heir who seems to be suitable, that heir is appointed to the barony more often than not when the old baron dies or retires.

17 - No going home yet

She is so right about the tax revenues. And it turned out in the next session that it’s likely to actually work out that way, at least partially.

16 - (Almost) The End

I had to keep Athal from commenting between the lines. Let one thing be clear: I don’t know if it had any actual effect that Raisse came to Athal’s aid, but even if it didn’t he’s glad she did, and so am I!

15 - Meeting the victims of evil

Following on immediately from “Ale and a warm bath”.

14 - Ale and a warm bath

Thanks, Raisse, for jotting down your thoughts at the end; I think we can do something with those. (And I’ve left your self-made spelling of the Iss-Peranians, though not of the Valdyans)

13 - Golden cages

Eduard wasn’t sure in which order things had happened, and wrote a back-to-front writeup (unchanged here); later, he realised that it was because he’d been making notes on the train home, freshest first.

12 - Opulent walks

This made me go back to Athal’s story for a correction: Raisse got a lion cub, of course, possibly offspring of the previous occupant of the lion skin. And Raisse is asking all the questions explicitly that Athal only asks in his mind, or when they come up in a conversation. It’s increasingly clear that he did really marry the right woman.

11 - Meeting Varin

Raisse had the harder part this time. I had to keep Athal from putting his comments in the text in parentheses; it was all things like “oh, so that’s what happened!” anyway.

10 - Intercultural risk taking

I’m glad Raisse is so voluble because I have no notes of most of this. Also, it turns out that Raisse’s experience is so different from Athal’s that I couldn’t have expressed it properly anyway, even with notes.

(Athal informs me that the next time the Khas leader offers him his life, he will go ahead and take it. Hmm.)

09 - Back in the jungle village

Another one of Raisse’s. She asks at the end “I wonder how he’ll react when I let him read this”. Well, in fact, she made a king cry.

08 - Raisse’s story

I woke up with a stiff shoulder yesterday morning, having dreamt about (or rather as) Athal; don’t know which was cause or effect. But that reminded me that I still had Raisse’s story lying around (thanks, Eduard!). I’m reproducing it in full here (with some minor copy-editing of names and such) because the server keeps winking in and out of existence.
