19 - Coming home to solid ground, Valdyas and Turenay
Raisse’s last entry in this series. She is staying on for another arc, so we won’t have to miss her; Athal is back to NPC, and off to Aumen Síth about a year from now.

18 - Treaties, goodbyes and more war ahead
Raisse is right that the title of baron isn’t hereditary: barons are appointed by the Crown. However, if a baron has an heir who seems to be suitable, that heir is appointed to the barony more often than not when the old baron dies or retires.

17 - No going home yet
She is so right about the tax revenues. And it turned out in the next session that it’s likely to actually work out that way, at least partially.

16 - (Almost) The End
I had to keep Athal from commenting between the lines. Let one thing be clear: I don’t know if it had any actual effect that Raisse came to Athal’s aid, but even if it didn’t he’s glad she did, and so am I!

15 - Meeting the victims of evil
Following on immediately from “Ale and a warm bath”.

14 - Ale and a warm bath
Thanks, Raisse, for jotting down your thoughts at the end; I think we can do something with those. (And I’ve left your self-made spelling of the Iss-Peranians, though not of the Valdyans)

13 - Golden cages
Eduard wasn’t sure in which order things had happened, and wrote a back-to-front writeup (unchanged here); later, he realised that it was because he’d been making notes on the train home, freshest first.

12 - Opulent walks
This made me go back to Athal’s story for a correction: Raisse got a lion cub, of course, possibly offspring of the previous occupant of the lion skin. And Raisse is asking all the questions explicitly that Athal only asks in his mind, or when they come up in a conversation. It’s increasingly clear that he did really marry the right woman.

11 - Meeting Varin
Raisse had the harder part this time. I had to keep Athal from putting his comments in the text in parentheses; it was all things like “oh, so that’s what happened!” anyway.

10 - Intercultural risk taking
I’m glad Raisse is so voluble because I have no notes of most of this. Also, it turns out that Raisse’s experience is so different from Athal’s that I couldn’t have expressed it properly anyway, even with notes.
(Athal informs me that the next time the Khas leader offers him his life, he will go ahead and take it. Hmm.)
