Journal Entry: March 8, 2026
Location: Ar's Station
Title: Administrative Echoes and Scholarly Preparation
The morning began with a flurry of administrative and logistical updates. I spent time reviewing the upcoming council agenda and various notices regarding the En'Kara fair. My son Asher provided a response to recent city requests, which I need to process carefully. I also spent a significant portion of the early hours updating the Station Academy's XANBoard calendar, ensuring the 201 series and open discussions are clearly marked for the weeks ahead.
Later, I engaged in some personal preparation, acquiring a few new garments and accessories. It is important to maintain a presence that reflects my station as a Scribe and Administrator. While organizing the Academy room, I was joined by several citizens, including Shania and River. I managed to resolve some technical hurdles with the Academy Library, finally enabling access for students like phuongdong who had been struggling with script errors. The archives now hold over 4,420 items, and ensuring they are accessible to the public is a task that never truly ends.
I had an enlightening conversation with Lady Jacquie regarding the slave boy, Kash. We discussed the possibility of him assisting Odette Atheria with cleaning her office. Kash himself expressed some concerns about how he is perceived in the city, and I did my best to reassure him that his diligent work at the school is highly valued. I later spoke with the slave girl Isis about her owner, Master Rist Al'Sahra, and her various duties within the city.
Class Summary: Warriors and Warfare (101 Series, Week 4 - Retaught/Recap)
The Scarlet Caste: We revisited the definition of the Warrior as the city's primary defense. Unlike mercenaries, true Warriors are bound to the Home Stone by the Code of the Sword, valuing honor above all else.
Military Science: The class focused on the logic of Gorean warfare rather than physical combat. We discussed the Phalanx formation and why the Gladius (short sword) is the superior weapon for tight-rank infantry engagement.
The Tarn: We explored the nature of these giant avian predators. We emphasized the psychological dominance required by a Tarnsman and the brutal reality of aerial combat where there are no "parachutes."
Siege Tactics: We defined Circumvallation and the strategic use of starvation and heavy engineering to overcome city walls.
To Do:
Finalize the categorization of the newest library scrolls to ensure public access remains stable.
Prepare for the upcoming "Nature of the Ubarate" session.
Consult with Asher regarding the "Canoe Route" logistics mentioned by Jacquie.
Draft a formal schedule for city shopkeepers to post their active hours.
