So it’s more than time for another snippet from Crown of Renewal<\/em>,\u00a0 which means you get…more than one snippet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember that snippets may have redactions–a word or several–to prevent spoilering.\u00a0\u00a0 If long, there’ll be an ellipsis marking the gap, but if it’s just one word…well, you knew the writer was sneaky.\u00a0 Here we go:<\/p>\n

Where: Fin Panir<\/p>\n

Situation: Arvid has been tasked with going through some of the piles of material brought back from the stronghold in Kolobia.<\/p>\n

………………………….<\/p>\n

All the magelords had been literate, and those in the main stronghold had produced far more writing than anyone realized until they brought it back.\u00a0 Recipes from the kitchen, lists of supplies, little sketch maps, records of projects begun and finished, with dates referring to a calendar [he] didn’t know….<\/p>\n

Arvid intended to sort out anything having to do with legal matters…but he was fascinated by the hints at the individuals who had lived there as shown by their writings………..<\/p>\n

……half the pile slid off the desk where he worked and scattered itself on the floor.\u00a0 Sighing, he picked it up and put it back on the desk before opening the book.\u00a0 The stylized rose, drawn larger, was on the first page.\u00a0 On the next, the fine, dense writing began.<\/p>\n

I came to him a woman deeply wounded and a killer.<\/em><\/p>\n

…………………………………………<\/p>\n

Where: Aarenis<\/p>\n

Who: Arcolin POV, commanding all of Fox Company<\/p>\n

………………………………………..<\/p>\n

Until dark, Fox Company’s camp appeared no busier than usual, following the routine of each day during campaign.\u00a0 Sentries went out as usual and walked the bounds until the last to the jacks filled them in a little more than usual.\u00a0 And in the near-dark, all that had been packed earlier, in the guises of straightening up the camp, went into the wagons.\u00a0 The tents remained: the duke’s tent, with its several rooms lit, and officers coming to make the final report of the day.\u00a0 All as usual.<\/p>\n

Arcolin slept sound, as he always did when a plan had been set.\u00a0 He dressed in the dark, by feel, and woke Kaim who did the same.\u00a0\u00a0 Outside, where was scarcely light to see, the tents vague blurs against the dark.\u00a0 One by one they came down with no more sound than air whooshing from the canvas as it collapsed.<\/p>\n

……………………………………………..<\/p>\n

Where: Lyonya<\/p>\n

Situation:\u00a0\u00a0 A very strange adoption<\/p>\n

………………………………………………<\/p>\n

Alyanya’s Grace.\u00a0 A child is born to the tribe.\u00a0 May he grow in peace and share in the parrion of power.\u00a0\u00a0 Sian, Olath:\u00a0 Name this child before the tribe.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The skeleton holding his heart-hand raised it high.\u00a0 I, Sian, mother of fathers, new-birthed this child and name him Palan, for his parrion’s use, in Alyanya’s honor……<\/em><\/p>\n

The skeleton holding his sword-hand then raised it high.\u00a0 I, Olath, father of mothers, engendered this child anew and name him Oathkeeper, for his guidance, in Alyanya’s honor……<\/em><\/p>\n

Only 73 days to go before all these snippets will be seen in their rightful settings….(yes, you can throw the marshmallows at me now…)<\/p>\n
