 Journal Entry: July 11, 2026

Location: Turmus & Olni

Mood/Title: A Day of Shopping, Visits in Turmus, and the Festival of Steel

Spent part of the morning in Turmus walking around the city streets and visiting with Lady Selia. We chatted about the city's growth, the upcoming Merchant Fair, and my new room at the Wander Inn. Later on, Commander Augustus Bade and Lady Ella dropped by with Ducky and Amalia, and Advocate Aries joined us as well. We ended up having a long, pleasant conversation about family, traveling ways, and city life before I headed back home.

In the late afternoon, I dressed up in my new dark sparkle formal dress and headed out to attend Olni's monthly Festival of Steel. The arena was packed for the tournament! Falconer McKeenan hosted the matches while fighters like Shlam, Magni, Boogie, Lazerus, Amyr, Khronos, Paul, Eridain, and Ezio fought through several intense rounds of sword practice. Khronos ended up taking 1st place, with Killian taking 2nd, Ezio taking 3rd, and Shlam winning the Last Man Standing round. After the traditional Haka dance, signal horns, and prize announcements, we all gathered for a fun OOC dance and a round of trivia to wrap up the night.

To Do:

• Deposit any earnings and organize newly acquired formal dresses and accessories.

• Review details for the upcoming Scribe classes and discussions next week.

• Check in with Jarek and Falconer regarding upcoming city events.
