Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 30 October 1020, L'École du Sorciers My dearest cousin Armand, I fear that meeting His Deposed Majesty in the chapel late in the evening has become rather the habit.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 17 October 1020.

The Terror
Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 16 September 1020, L'École du Sorciers My dearest cousin Armand, I have much to tell you; and I am afraid I must begin with a modicum of Provençese history, as explained to me by Claude Bergeron.

Harassment

Utility

Pencils
Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 12 June 1020, L'École du Sorciers My dearest cousin Armand, It is fortunate that the grounds of L'École boast of nothing resembling a duck pond, for, as the Divine is my witness, if such a body of water existed here I make oath that I should have introduced any … Continue reading Pencils
Aggravations
Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 14 May 1020, L'École du Sorciers My dearest cousin Armand, Using Johannine wizardry to burn my signature into a plaque of wood is far more difficult than I had anticipated.
