The Turning of the Year - March 22

Journal Entry: March 22, 2026 

Location: Ar's Station / En'Kara Fairgrounds 

Title: The Turning of the Year

The En'Kara Fair is reaching its final, vibrant crescendo. Today felt like a convergence of the old and the new as we stand on the threshold of a new Gorean year. I spent the morning ensuring the Academy's schedules are perfectly aligned with the recent calendar shift proposed by the Khan. We are officially preparing to enter 10,177 C.A. this week, and the weight of that transition is felt in every corner of the city.

Trygg Tyran provided the final updates for the Merchant Caste Tent, and I’ve been busy archiving the results of the recent product auctions. The Fair has been an exhausting but incredibly fruitful endeavor for our archives. Back at the Station, I performed a final check on the classroom’s XANBoard to ensure our students have a clear path through April, including our upcoming deep dives into the "Resistant Stones" of Ko-ro-ba and Treve.

I am still adjusting to the new office location near the Temple. While the walk is longer, the serenity of the area is unmatched. However, I must be more mindful of my scripted attachments; the campus monitors reminded me today that my current burden is a bit heavy for the local lag. A Scribe should always strive for efficiency, both in her records and her presence.

To Do:

• Finalize the "Calendar Shift" announcement for the city, marking the start of 10,177 C.A.

• Review the Sardar Fair Merchant Caste logs to identify any new trade partners for the Station.

• Prepare materials for tomorrow's 201 Week 3 lecture: "The Resistant Stones, Ko-ro-ba & Treve."

• Reduce scripted attachments before the next public lecture to improve the experience for attendees.
