Journal Entry: February 14, 2026
Location: Ar's Station
Mood/Title: A Promising New Colleague and Cafe Conversations
My afternoon began pleasantly at the cafe with Samuel, Luciana, and Lady Evelyn. We shared a meal—despite the frustrating lack of working slaves to serve us—and discussed Evelyn's Northern customs, specifically the tradition of cutting one's hair following a severed courtship. I also shared my hopes for the Academy, even if attendance remains light. Aerikr, the Northern carpenter we formerly knew as Bear, briefly joined us as well, looking and smelling much improved after his recent healing.
The highlight of the day, however, was meeting Lady Shania Shiras. She is a dedicated Blue Caste Magistrate and teacher from Turmus who is strongly considering relocating to Ar's Station to be near her daughters and to find a more collaborative work environment. Thrilled at the prospect of a fellow educator, I gave her an extensive tour of the Academy, the Scribe Hall, the High Caste courtyard, the bathhouse, and the available housing. During our walk, we encountered Elusia, a Northern woman seeking work at the farm. She had unfortunately been chased by a man—possibly a scribe—simply because she was unbound by a veil. Shania kindly provided her with a copy of our city's laws to ensure her future safety. I directed Shania to speak with Sphere regarding her caste transfer and Asher for housing. Having a colleague to share the Academy with would be wonderful.
To Do:
Follow up with Shania Shiras to see how her meeting with Sphere went and coordinate sharing the Academy's teaching schedule.
Check if Elusia managed to secure a position at the city farm.
Keep an eye out for the man with the bow who harassed Elusia for being unveiled.
