I just stumbled across the original Lothere blog from the days when I didn’t even have my own site.

Behold:

What do you think? Should I go with him? Should he come back into Gaethine’s life?

On the Plumb Bob Keep forum I’ve been helping out renegadewolfe by taking preview pictures of the dogs she’s been creating. Really, in this era and this setting, there should be dogs all over the place in Lothere, so it was a great opportunity for me to add some period-​appropriate dogs to my neighborhood as well.

A few people have asked me to expose the top-​secret “Nobility” ratings I have assigned to many of my character records, so I have just made those visible on the bio pages. If you’re a hardcore Lothere geek—or maybe an RKC-​player interested in how I deal with social rankings—read on.

I don’t have any near-​term plans for Baby Lili to make an appearance, so I thought I would put up a baby picture here.

I had planned for the last chapter, “Estrid names the finest treasure,” to begin with a scene in Ana’s room, wherein Eadwyn is permitted to cross the threshold of that hallowed chamber before the appointed time, in order to tell Estrid that Brede is here. I decided that part was unnecessary, but it meant I wasted a few shots.

And since the baby might not be a baby any more by the time she gets a chance to appear in another chapter, I really don’t want to waste baby pictures. So here are a few outtakes—this time of a scene that really happened, but which didn’t make it into the final cut.

Sophie decides to admit Eadwyn on the advice of her colleagues:

In the spirit of last year’s prophetic birthday dream I deliberately nudged this year’s “random chapter” in the direction of Vashmalaina prophecy.

I’ve made Sims for some more of the Scottish families. I only needed a couple of the guys for future chapters, but I wanted them to be genetically related to their relatives (if I ever needed their relatives) so I ended up making quite a few.

I don’t know if anyone cares about tiny new pictures of Sims to look at, but knock yourself out if you do.

In the chat the other day, I mentioned to Ann and ermine that I am having a difficult time finding hair for Egelric. I have almost no good short hairs, because noble men wear long hair in my world, and my peasants mostly wear really messy hairstyles. (And even they aren’t cropped really short like Egelric is right now.)

Britamund’s maid Adwen died on Sunday, February 15^th, 1086. We saw her in “Britamund concedes to an urgent matter.”

Neither Brit nor Dunstan liked her, but each thought the other did, and it remains a mystery how she got the job.

I suspect her maternal grandfather Aylmer has something to do with it since he runs the household at Dunellen. (Incidentally her paternal grandmother is The Warty Mother.)
