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)

First Letter Dear Journal, Today was a surprise. Now that I live with Amelie in the village, Onc' Herbert has of course needed to send others to the village in the cart to get supplies—in the sleigh, rather, at this time of year. And today he sent Marc and Elise. It was a fine winter … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Lunch with the Frontenacs (5 Fevrier 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, Amelie's father has passed. He died in the night, in his bed, with Amelie by his side. It was not a surprise, not for any of us. He had been growing weaker by the day, and for the past week I have had to carry him to his seat by the … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- M. Fabré Passes (15 Janvier 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, It has been a busy and mostly delightful month, learning how to be a proper husband to Amelie, and how to prepare for an Armorican winter; and now the snows have come and stayed, and the deep cold has set in. It is unlike anything I have ever seen. It snows … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Experiments (5 Janvier 34AF)

First Letter Dear Journal, And so it has happened, though it has taken awhile for me to find time to write about it. It began nine days ago, when the first great storm of the season came blowing through Bois-de-Bas. It came in the afternoon, just as I was finishing my reading lesson with Amelie, … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Wedding (9 Decembre 33AF)
