Sent Michael Hawk to Cove to see how the Orcish situation is developing there. He reported that Cove was unsafe and that they would make a final attack to drive the orcs out of Cove soon.
I offered that we would help with the attack and also send guards to divert the forces at e fort as best we could.

Devante approached me with his idea of a Trinsic newspaper and he wanted to know the most wanted criminals and the rewards for them.
Seems he is also willing to pay for articles so get your pens ready and start scribbling.

Met John Deniol and after talking a bit with him I took his oath for the Duchy and accepted him as citizen.

Day was pretty quiet and I decided that it was time to promote Erik to Armsman and then watches some duels between Erik and Samuel.
Van felt was a bit in a fighting mood too and joined the training, but without proper armor was slightly injured and had to stop.

Today was quiet and I managed to write yesterday’s report in the Rose while drinking some tea.

The elf Kai Silverwood applied as guard and after checking his report and talking with him I accepted him as recruit.

Rest of the day was uneventful

Kaelyn



*you see a sketch of a room full with writing tables where people sit.
In the front of the room there is a chalkboard where you can read the words ’Duchy rules 101’ on them.

At the tables in the room are children sitting all in pretty clothes and if you look closely you can imagine that they look like Kaelyn, Mordred Lady Reann, Kimi, Artemis, Stewan, Gwen and others*

A man with long hair and fancy looking clothes is walking through the aisles and he has a small staff in his hand and has it lifted a little as if to point out something very important.

Mordred seems to be asleep at his table bored by the lecture, while Gwen is playing with some dolls also ignoring the lecture. Stewan is reading in a book and if you look closer you can read the title as ‘How to cook a dragon’, while Lady Reann is carefully sharpening a dagger under her bench also looking bored. Kimi and Artemis seem to be quietly whispering to each other, pointing at the teachers desk where if you look closely you can see a bottle labelled as ‘Liquor’ almost hidden under some books.

Kaelyn who sits behind the teacher, whose features maybe resemble Ikus’ , has a sling with some chalk in it and aims at the teacher’s head.

In the corner of the room you can see a boy resembling Thaur’s features with a donkey hat on his head, seemingly being punished for some prank*
