Wow! I finally took t)(ree days off after t)(e w)(ole )(ig)(blood revolt situation and do you know w)(at )(appened? Nobody attempted a coup. Nobody poisoned a councilor. Nobody even dramatically c)(allenged me to sea-dweller combat at dinner. It turns out )(alf t)(e empire only seamed terrifying because everybody was running on twelve t)(ousand sweeps of in)(erited paranoia and sleep deprivation. We )(eld a reconciliation feast in t)(e capital trenc)( and several former revolutionaries ended up getting embarrassingly emotional over grilled sea dragon and c)(oir music. One purpleblood commander actually apologized to a jadeblood in public wit)(out exploding into flames afterward, so I t)(ink t)(at means we’re making progress! Well. Days/nig)(ts off! 38) I was talking to some -Eastern Alternian Lords and Ladies w)(o t)(oug)(t t)(ey may be able to slip out of my control! Looking into -Erifin's old doomsday device. Found t)(e scraps recently. I wonder...
