Journal Entry: 2026/01/10 Location: Ar's Station (Ironheart) / Bathhouse / The Outskirts Mood/Title: A Family Reconnected & The City’s New Heart
Today was a whirlwind of social connection and foundational planning for the Station. The morning began at the tea house with Kelly; it is truly heartening to see her considering making this city her permanent home. I even spent some time at the docks with my youngest son, Magnus, and "Uncle" Izzy. The conversation was a bit intense at first—Izzy is still rightfully suspicious about Rask’s "dishonorable" death, suspecting he was a fraud or a Cosian plant. It was quite a shock to Magnus to realize his grandfather is none other than Jarl WIND of the Silver Blades! We certainly need to plan a family feast soon to bring all these "uncles" and my sons together properly.
The highlight of the day was the OOC ladies' meeting held in the bathhouse, led by Asher. It was incredibly informative to hear about the intentional design of the city—how the bathhouse isn't just for show but is meant for relaxed roleplay like hair days and social bathing. Asher shared his vision for Ar's Station as a trade outpost of Ar, governed rather than ruled by an Ubar, which clarifies so much for those of us working within the administration. I also finally got to propose "The Circle"—an outdoor gathering spot for teaching, poetry, and small plays. Asher was very supportive and showed me a potential spot near the woods. It feels like the city is truly starting to breathe and develop its own culture.
To Do:
Draft the "Circle" curriculum for the new teaching area Asher showed me.
Coordinate with Magnus regarding character paragraphs and photos for the Ar's Station website.
Follow up on the community registration documents Caroline shared.
Schedule a time for a "hair and nail" afternoon at the bathhouse to help the women of the station get to know one another.
Keep an eye out for an experienced Slaver or Initiate to join the city staff, as Luciana and Asher mentioned the need.
