Morning Coffee and City Records - February 4

 

Journal Entry: February 4, 2026

Location: Ar's Station / Two Scimitars Oasis

Mood/Title: Morning Coffee and City Records

The morning began with a quiet moment on the swing, shared with Odette Atheria. We talked about the layout of Ar's Station and the need for more active merchants and Scribes who are willing to handle the actual paperwork. She even offered to make me a personalized coffee mug—white with a blue rose—which was a lovely gesture. It was a nice, peaceful way to start the day before the administrative work took over.

Later, I met with Drusus Amadeus Titus to finalize some caste and business registrations. There was a bit of a back-and-forth regarding the "missing" seal on one of the forms, which he quickly corrected. We had a brief disagreement about the necessity of filing copies in the Grand Municipal Archive; he seems to think merchant trade agreements are private matters, whereas I maintain that a central city record is vital for the station's history. Regardless, the current forms are settled and will be entered into the official files.

The day shifted to En'Kara planning as I traveled to the Two Scimitars Oasis for a meeting with Trygg, Abraham, and others. The focus was on our upcoming Caste Day. While we are doing better than other castes, we still have several teaching slots to fill. It's going to take some extra effort to round out the schedule.

To Do:

• Submit the signed and sealed AS Merchants Caste registrations to the Grand Municipal Archive.

• Follow up with Drusus tomorrow regarding the four additional forms he mentioned.

• Check the mailbox by the office for any new filings.

• Brainstorm more potential teachers/presenters for the En'Kara Caste Day.

• Continue preparations for the Station Academy relocation and upcoming classes.
