A Whirlwind Day of Scribe Instruction and the Olni Ladies Tea

 Journal Entry: July 14, 2026

Location: Olni, Turmus, & Thunder Mountain

Mood/Title: A Whirlwind Day of Scribe Instruction and the Olni Ladies Tea

A very long and event-filled day. Started out early morning in Olni catching up on house details and visiting with Lady Odette. We teleported briefly to Thunder Mountain for the 8:00 AM Scribe Apprentice Class, but found the schedule had shifted to 9:00 AM due to region restarts. We waited in the lounge with Kat Antoninus and Lady Wynna Aonifall until class began. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus led a structured session on teaching methodologies, Scribe Caste objectives, and document verification protocols.

After class, I traveled to Turmus to meet with Lady Carola and Ubara Selia. Carola took me to see the cheese stall and showed me the High Caste booths she set up for the upcoming Grand Merchant Fair. I gave her feedback on the caste banner order, and we talked more about my proposal to set up a schoolhouse in Turmus at building #25.

Returned to Olni in the afternoon to attend the monthly Ladies Tea hosted by Lady Talora at the gallery. We had a great turnout, including Jasmine (Captain of Warriors from Tharna), Lady Vixen, and several visiting guests. A fortune teller named Ladisha Bly caused quite a stir shouting throughout the square, and two visiting women drifted off into the city, prompting Captain Falconer to organize a quick search party. Stepped away early as the excitement wound down to rest.

To Do:

• Follow up with Kelli (kellygr5) regarding the proposal for the Turmus schoolhouse at building #25.

• Review the 8 components of effective lesson planning discussed in Marcus's class.

• Coordinate with Lady Talora and Lady Vixen on upcoming schedule dates for the Ladies Tea and Venna Carnivale.
