In prior posts, I noted the underhanded way that the current residents of the council chairs have obtained their status. It should come as no surprise that they have failed to fill every promise. The charter they voted for, fails … Continue reading

Faendryl Mode

From the outside, it would be fascinating to watch – a bunch of Dhe’nar jockeying for power and control in a small outpost so far from Sharath, as to be nearly pointless. A culture so enmeshed in claiming to be … Continue reading
