Why I Want To Go: Leviathan

 You have a reason to go to Feast of Leviathan, I might not be able to tell you what it is; as there are so many reasons to be had, but you have a reason to go. 

I’ll tell you why I’m going, and in that maybe you’ll discover your own reasons. I’m going because of the political stage. There are few other occasions that gather so many people, and sometimes I have business. Leviathan is great for business. Come for the business. 

I’m going for the food. Lord Sir Gwen has let me in on some of the secret magics of the kitchen. I’m not going to tell you what they are, but I will tell you she made whisper of one of my very favorite foods; one that even might usurp the famous Croque en Bouche. Which honestly, at this point would be felling a legend. Can I say in my mouth, or does that make it mean something different?

There  one more  reason, beyond any sense of community, or game, or celebration, that I would make sure to be at Leviathan, and that is because we will be memorializing the loss of a dear friend of mine. Of ours. Of mine. Dave “Vawn” Hayden. We will be doing a Viking funeral, with fire and water, and spoken word. And if it would mean something to you, to remember and say goodbye, I would hope you would go.

Baptiste Cider Review

It is now 1022, a year has died. It may not be missed, but in many ways, I do not think it was noticed.

My ginger stores are thinner now, the tarrifs have driven the price beyond my profits.

In time, this will come to a end, just like the year did, like time did... but not yet, it can not end yet.

There is more to taste, the people must know, they aren't ready... not yet.

The Birds Of Paradise claim to be a cider. Its can is warm to the touch, even though it has been in days sitting among ice. I flick it over, so the can rolls on its side.

I did not receive mana, not of any color. It was but a deception. A facade, as thin as the paper its wrapped with. 

It calls itself a Moscow Mule Cider. I know nothing of Moscow, but mules are not birds. I do not understand this drink, yet I continue to indulge, hoping beyond hope that there may be a answer in the visions...

They do not come, I remain alone.

And yet... it tastes clean. The lime comes before the Cider, and provides a crispness that is accentuated by the apples own. The tastes meld, and though the drink is dry the alcohol does not linger like a burning grease, as I find many drinks do. It is unsweet, but it doesn't need the sugar.

It does not have to cloak itself in lies, for what it has to say is not hateful to me. Its ginger is faint but used at the back end, to clear up the lime.

It is a good drink, as far as drinks can be drunk.

Good score out of ten score.

Rumors for January 1022

 [Chimeron]

The Silvan Sanctuary Farming Commune has had a lot of activity at their local tavern. Visitors have reported talk about unusual doors, leers, dangerous caves, many fights... And something about ham?

~~~

A small bakery in Chimeron City was reduced to rubble by what appears to be a massive explosion of cookies. Local mages are investigating the source of the bake-tastrophe while local children are thrilled by the doughy deluge.

River barge traffic on the Rowan continues to increase upstream of Chimeron City. From the north, large shipments of raw stone are delivered to a site on the eastern bank of the river. This site is also receiving smaller shipments of food and various manufactured goods from the south.
