As of now, I will not be permitting visitors to the orphanage, with the exception of Mr. Jack Frost, until further notice. The children in my care do not need to hear about the burdens of war efforts; they are blissfully unaware of what events are unfolding. They have lost loved ones, one even losing an arm, so please understand that they are still recovering from the last battle in Caer Scima and will be for a while.

As well as that, I am much more than their matron and teacher now. In accordance to Dorchadan law, their kinship will be established through me, but not through my name of "Liddell", through the father-name that I have given them, "du Lac". We may not return to Dorchadas for quite some time, but they will bear that name, regardless.


Let us not forget that there are many children like them, however, who are not as fortunate. I would renew my efforts to continue my work, but I will not leave their side nor my homestead. Their minds must be protected at all costs.

Greetings. For any recent arrivals who I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Baron Balem Abrasax. In the wake of recent events, I have decided to open the doors of the Military Academy to any Unseelie who wish to use its resources.

[Yes, for free, no tuition or anything, bargain!]

All I ask is that you aid or teach the native students as you would fellow shardbearers, if you can.

[He pauses for a moment.]

...And one more question. I've been alive for many thousands of years, but my eternal youth was made possibly only by technologies which don't exist here. I will wither and die in this world, if I am here too long. Yet, I have encountered many of you who don't age, without any technology at all, presumably through magical means.

How would one achieve such a feat? I've heard of the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, and the Great Panacea, if you know anything about any of those and where to find them. Otherwise, any other leads are appreciated and I will look into researching them on my own when I have less immediate matters to attend to.

[He falters for a moment. There is fear in his voice, as much as he tries to disguise it. Fear of death looming over his shoulder, fear of every ache and pain and wrinkle and any other sign of aging he checks meticulously for every single day.]

Please, I will reward you generously for this information. [He clears his throat.] But yes, come and train at the Academy if you wish, and any other aid that can be given to my Spire will be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you.

Right. Quick question, assuming this is working…


Is anything here organized? Or is everyone intended to figure out this training thing on their own?
