Introductions, Invitations & Procrastinations

12^th December 356 AC

Having been allocated rooms at the establishment shared by Sir Dominic and his companions, I decided to take the evening meal as opportunity to make my introductions and deliver invitations to the unlikely group.

We are to arrive at the High Clerist's Tower one week hence and so we determined to occupy ourselves productively before undertaking the three day ride. Brother Ithariel engaged me in a theological discussion for most of the evening (though, as is often the case with members of his most Holy Order, the line between theology and tactics is severely blurred).

Lady Azshauna, who hails from Qualinost, evidently shares the understanding of etiquette for which her race is famed. She has taken the Plainswoman, Starsong to the Palanthians’ best dress-making emporiums to find attire more suited to the solemn occasion they have been invited to. Though since the outbreak of war it is more common to see females on the fighting lines, I suspect even my most honourable superiors would baulk at the sight of the warrior-woman as she currently stands; axe et al.

I have used the time to prepare Sir Dominic for what is to come, drawing upon my own experiences as an Initiate of the Sword. By the rise of the White Moon this night Sir Dominic's mind had ne'er been sharper and his armour had ne'er shone so bright.
