Raisse’s last entry in this series. She is staying on for another arc, so we won’t have to miss her; Athal is back to NPC, and off to Aumen Síth about a year from now.

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.

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.

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!

Following on immediately from “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)

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.
