Keeploch Knot by ROD w/Midjourney
Milo's Annotation: I suspect that Cathaleen intended to use this portrait of herself for her latest book cover. In my research, I uncovered her analysis of the Gordian myth. In 333 BC, Alexander the Great bypassed the difficult task of untying an ancient oxcart knot in Gordium by simply cutting it with his sword. She realized that the hemp utilized in the knotted garments from the Cirsea Isles was impossible to cut. Frustration would be the outcome for Alexander, not to conquer a country.
The portrait's dress, worn by Cathaleen, was dated back to 310 CE. According to her notes, the garment was made in Otherwhere and delivered to her by ship. There was no sign of hemp, especially the kind used in the clothing she gathered from old pirate chests. No dyed or raw native hemp could thrive in the fierce storms that ravaged the island.
The strength of the knotted hemp accessories and sari impressed her. The garments she wore not only insulated her, but also offered impenetrable protection. Sharp weapons, tools and rocks that tore apart nets, ship ropes, and armor did not affect a piece of clothing made with what Cathaleen decided was a magickal Drumkeeploch hemp and knot.

Cathaleen's Garamund Portrait by ROD w/Midjourney
This artifact will be included in the book. It will appeal to the fabric enthusiasts. Cathaleen’s assumptions about the whereabouts of hemp are somewhat biased. While an unusual strain of strong hemp grows in her homeland of Drumkeeploch, it is not her usual procedure to name it without additional research and testing. Naming is a sometimes a romantic decision. The other open question concerns the dye or ink that is blended with the raw hemp. Further research needs to be conducted about the ink’s impact on its flexibility. While I am not able to cut through either the raw or dyed hemp, it appears that the knife dulls sooner when certain inks are drawn from inkpots I have on hand. Adding “ichor” ink is often an author’s decision.
