Visitors from across the Sea

1st Respitesday of Winters Chill, Second Age 1853: After our return to Hithfaer, Lady Aria made some changes in the council arrangement, making Zaelith the new Magister, Aelorna the new Emissary, and putting me in charge of the Treasury. I was not completely caught unawares, Aelorna is better suited for the job meeting with foreign dignitaries, and I figured having access to the Treasury will aid me in my goals internally within the kingdom. I had a fruitful meeting with Ilador, being the first merchant in town, he has earned the right to be more involved in the goings on. After all he took a significant risk putting his money behind the Lady.
I was able to find some time to pay a social visit to Zhyrissa, and gift her the venom sample we collected from the ruins. I figured she will have more time to investigate it, and maybe something useful will come out of it. If not, at least we should know more than before about these creatures. There wasn't enough to really produce more doses, but perhaps she will discover some way to protect ourselves from it.

There were some rumors about a small gift left for the first child born in Hithfaer by the "Snow Fox". I should find out how people feel about our mysterious person.

The populace grew restless during this time, grumbling about the absence of a proper drinking establishment. Their dissent flared briefly, but Lady Aria’s firm hand quelled it swiftly, reminding everyone of the order we’re striving to maintain amidst our expansion. It was the first time I saw Deareth taking command of the military, what little we have of it, and his cold demeanor turned from mostly indifferent, to almost cruel. The workers dispersed before it came to blows, but I can't shake a feeling that Daereth would have enjoyed seeing some blood spilt that day.

2nd Amerysday of Winters Chill, Second Age 1853: Small vessel arrived at our pier and dropped off a moon elf by the name of Lorelei. She claimed to serve Lady Lothithil and came to share what information they had about Luthais. She traded her knowledge for some of ours, confirming suspicions about his movements and hinting at his next possible target. Her information is a puzzle piece I’ll need to fit into our broader strategy. It appears he was chased away from the Lothithil lands, but they are yet to discover what his purpose there was. It seems unlikely he staged an entire coup simply to have a comfortable place to live. Especially since it appeared that he spent most of the time away in Loristia.

3rd Vaeraleusday of Winters Chill, Second Age 1853: Spent most of the time mingling with the populace and learning their abilities and habits. I need to find someone competent to keep an eye on my growing domain in my absence. Aranesi seems to be enjoying the stories Lorelei has to tell about the time before Sundering, and I don't mind listening in. There may be some useful bits of information buried in there.
