First Letter Dear Journal, I never imagined that a grand-blaireau could grow so large. I had heard much about them from Jacques-la-Souris while I was living at Madame Truc's—the ferocity, the sharpness of the fangs, the surly and jealous demeanor—and I had seen the richness of the fur for myself. All these were as I … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Sky Island (16 Juin 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, My sky-chair is a success! I completed it yesterday, just before writing to my father, and today I took it out for its first trial. It functions almost entirely as desired, and unlike my first effort it is not confined to the Nursery. I built it in my new workshop as … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Sky Chair (4 Juin 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, In light of the surprising news I have just received from M. Suprenant, I have decided that I must write to my father. I do so with all due consideration and a great deal of apprehension. But Le Maréchal has declared a truce with Cumbria, a truce that may not hold … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Guild Business (3 Juin 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, I am amazed and astonished. As a journeyman former, I am used to managing and applying forces beyond the knowledge of most men—and yet until to this day I have never appreciated the force available to the women of a village when properly moved. Mme. Pôquerie came to the shop last … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Workshop (14 Mai 34AF)

First Letter Mon cher M. Suprenant, Many thanks for your speedy response! So, M. le Gouverneur has received a visitor from le Maréchal, inviting Armorica to contribute to the Provençese war effort. I wish I was surprised, but I have been fearing this. Just for your eyes, and I suppose you may wish to burn … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- News from Mont-Havre (6 Mai 34AF)

First Letter Mon cher M. Suprenant, Joyeuse Pâques to you and your family! As you may have heard from Mme. Truc, I appear to be firmly ensconced here in Bois-de-Bas. In point of fact I have married a local girl, the shopkeeper's daughter, and we have a child coming. It seems that Bois-de-Bas is now … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Inquiries (21 Avril 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, I've done it! I've built a sky-boat big enough to carry a single person with full control. It is an odd design, mind you, and I may call it a sky-boat only by courtesy; it looks more like a cross between a sedan chair and a four-poster bed. It is not … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Prototype (18 Mars 34AF)

First Letter Dear journal, After many, many trials, I now have a functioning working model of a sky-boat. It has taken longer than I hoped; the details in my grimoire are far sketchier than I had realized. All of the needed techniques are described adequately, but fitting them all together in one device is tricky. … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Working Model (27 Fevrier 34AF)
