In this Episode:

We fol­low the Sydalian thief-catcher Abi­gail Dar­ven as she elic­its Major Hoskins’ assis­tance in track­ing down Mother Razzia’s murderer.

We dis­cover some­thing of Auryn’s home life and meet his mom. Auryn dis­cov­ers that, in order to get a chance to dance with (and, poten­tially, marry) the love of his life, Corinne, he will need to pay proper respects to his father. 

We also real­ize that the Val­iste Verana’s lan­guage is extremely ornate.

We lis­ten to Peter and Raven have a dis­cus­sion about the unau­tho­rized use of poison.

Finally, Auryn’s father reads the For­tuna cards and finds out impor­tant infor­ma­tion about an ancient enmity return­ing to the fore.

Easter Eggs

For those of you who have played in one of my Cora-Ni games, be on the look­out for some easter eggs put in specif­i­cally for you.

Ques­tion of the Week

I had some­one ask me about the dif­fer­ence between the Wunjo, the Val­iste Ver­ana, and the Gyp­sies — and really, there is no dif­fer­ence. They are a very descrip­tive peo­ple, and they have many names for them­selves. The Wunjo ref­er­ence is to “The Peo­ple of Joy,” the Val­iste Ver­ana is “the Tribe of Val­iste, the First Father of the Peo­ple”, and of course, Gypsy is a Trade term which devel­oped as a cor­rup­tion of “eigepti”, an Amishkan word mean­ing “the first People.” 

But that was prob­a­bly more than you wanted to know. If you do want to know more, check out the ever-expanding Mag­i­cal Coun­try Wiki at http://magicalcountry.com/tw/
