First Letter Dear Journal, Luc, I discover, has been busy while I was away in Mont-Havre. He— But all things in due course. When I left for Mont-Havre I instructed Luc to continue copying out my grimoire, which I left behind for that purpose. Amelie, I have discovered, is an excellent teacher; Luc's hand is … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Learning from Luc (30 May 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, It is ironic, I suppose. I spent the wagon ride to Bois-de-Bas alternately pondering how best to study Master Grenadine's writings and wishing for a peaceful soak in the hot springs—for I may say that while traveling by wagon is much quicker than walking, it has its own discomforts. But I … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Town Matters- (23 May 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Jack, This is goodbye for now, for I must soon go meet M. Frontenac's wagoneer for the ride back to Bois-de-Bas. But I could not leave the city without telling you some of what has been happening, and some of what I've learned. First, the Guild Hall is in excellent condition, far … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Political Question (20 May 35 AF)

First Letter Ma chere Amelie, I have such news! So much news, that I fear I might burst from it. Yesterday, I must confess, I was disappointed. I met M. Suprenant's locksmith, a rotund fellow who rejoices in the name of Bertrand D'Aubigny, in front of the guild house at the appointed hour, and there … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Inside the Guild Hall (16 May 35 AF)

First Letter Ma chere Amelie, And here I am in Mont-Havre. It seems so odd to see it again—it was so much my world when I first came to Armorica, and yet for such a brief time, only a few months. It is much larger than Bois-de-Bas yet smaller than I remembered, and much smaller … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Guild Hall (14 May 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, Jack left us this morning after an extended stay; word came that His Lordship needs him in Mont-Havre, as well he might. It was the longest Jack and I have been able to spend together since we were boys, and we spent it as you might expect: up until all hours … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- A Leg to Stand On (5 May 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, I write quickly, for it is late—but I must not lose this thought. Cousin Jack is here, in fact he is snoring in the next room as I write, and during the evening he told us of his time with the Army. At one moment he spoke of trying to sleep … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Stress and Strain (23 April 35 AF)

First Letter Mon cher Leon, Thank you so much for getting the recent shipment to us so expeditiously! Your man Guy had a rough drive, so he told me, and certainly both his oxen and his wagon were mud-stained from about shoulder-height on down. How they achieved that while leaving the goods pristine I am … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Armorican Reactions (16 April 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, Such news! I received a letter from my cousin Jack yesterday; it came with our first large delivery of goods from Mont-Havre since the first snowfalls. He has come to Armorica and plans to visit us—news enough, surely—but the real news came with the letter and not in it. Cumbria has … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Cumbrian Advance (13 April 35 AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, I have worked from dawn until well after dusk for the past two weeks, and I believe I have now re-hardened all of the dishes and cookware in Bois-de-Bas. Also, I have collected nearly all of the warming blocks; stack upon stack of them clutter the back corner of our store … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Speculations (30 March 35 AF)
