Chapter Text
Today, on the first day of Harvest, Our Father had torn through the clouds. Trade in the Chamber of Trade was busy. Three hundred and forty six fishermen descended down into the Crevices, and caught 2981 fish, of which 390 were squid and 98 were major fish, and no seals. All of the fishermen returned without problems.
Our Archmage Sitim, may he rule long, is healthy. After his morning duties he attended the festivities held in the Chamber of Trade and held a speech on the Circle of Seasons and the Blessings of the Crevices. He observed the show given by the Masters of Ice and Fire and found them skillful.
Our Archmage Sitim, may he rule long, also oversaw the Selection of new students into the Guild of Mages. Twenty six candidates were presented to the Archmage. Of this set Our Archmage selected the ten best to attend our halls. These students are, as follows:
– Tunak, daughter of Selak
– Tum, son of Sitim
– Rinak, daughter of Gidal
– Sirak, son of Kotim
– Selak, son of Gidal
– Ret, son of Gidal
– Sitim, son of Ekan
– Eril, daughter of Sokim
– Rinak, daughter of Selak
– Gidal, son of Ret
Of this set Our Archmage Sitim, may he rule long, commended especially Rinak, daughter of Selak, who showed proficiency in several languages and Ret, son of Gidal, who could move the biggest cube of ice, which weighed as much as a quarter-whale-worth of fish.
After these duties he attended the ceremonies held by the Master of Divination. Our Archmage Sitim, may he rule long, felt tired after this long day and retired early.
Two apartments were united into one in the northern part of the city. A student of the Master of Ice, Kimok of Gorad, made sure of the stability of the structure.
The festivities of the Harvest Season opened peacefully but with much elation. The winners of the crafts competition were:
– Tunak, daughter of Ret, 32, for her weawing of a net 84 eels long.
– Ret, son of Gidal, 14, for the carving of an elegant seal statuette from brass.
– Kimok, son of Sokim, 49, for his knitting of a particular kind of hat.
After the festivities I conversed with the Master of Fire for an hour about her performance at the magic show.
Master of Divination has not contacted the dead. He informs us that today the following children were born:
– Gidal, to Ekan son of Gidal, and his wife Lanak
– Sirak, to Sitim son of Sitim, and his wife Rinak
– Tunak, to Eril daughter of Ret, who does not live conjoined
– Selak, to Tum son of Sirak, and his wife Rinak
– Ret, to Sirak son of Ret, and his wife Tiral
and the following people were embraced by our Mother:
