| |    |  bureaucratic process in which the most costly city in the  |
| |    |  world changes the makeup of its entire government format,  |
| \____/  Fliblin Ballyshack, the Lion, grew impatient.  Your        |
|         faithful editor is a bit of an analyst, and cannot boast   |
| in having a keen understanding in the ways of love.  Alas, she is  |
| now a married woman.  I cannot call it an accident, not exactly.   |
| Hopelessly in love, beaten down by the horrible Writers Block      |
| disease of old, I finally let spill the romantic beans of passion, |
| and like the lucky individual I have been, the Lion accepted.  We  |
| were wed on the 2nd of Death, Fall, 1461 PC, by Kyris Zyther.  We  |
| were witnessed by Henseru of the Camp, who was all too happy to    |
| drink with us afterwards.  Harmony is the hope, but the adventure  |
| does not stop here as the elusion may tempt.  It begins!           |
|                                                                    |

| I fear.  He came to build a     | like alcohol.  He REALLY likes   |
| home for the people who loved   | it.  In fact, since a bunch of   |

| he was able to.  Absorbed to    | in their ways, left a bunch of   |
| his duties, he battled Watchers | juicy booze just sitting around  |
| for many years, only for raids  | out in the opened ... in their   |

| Recently, an incident involving | it all.  Were it not for this    |

| taint, aged, and without his    | the angry horde of sword-jabbing |
| memory.  The man deserves a     | hypocrite pirates that had only  |
| long, long break, but his sense | earlier given the rum to Makron  |
| of purpose remains -- he has    | freely (essentially).            |
| informed me that he plans to go |      I am convinced by stories   |
| back to the land of Dar'Velia,  | like these that rules against    |
| the mountains.  Meanwhile, his  | impulsive behavior never really  |
| brother Araeund Zyther is in    | stick the way they should.  Risk |
| Aabahran, whose purpose remains | is everywhere, and life should   |
