More bookfinds follow.
Alzar teleports to Hamedh and heads to Khaibar and finds Ibrahim’s Mint Tea Parlor. He takes it and copies and creates an identical copy for his capital.
Alzar has another offer from marriage, this time from Thyatis, and again, he declines.
Alzar is sent a summons letter by King Ericall, and he agrees after grabbing the Peaceful Periapt of Pax. He is excoriated by his neighbor. As Alzar reminds King Ericall, his people have been attacking by Landfall again, and again, and again, mostly at sea. Alzar has thus acted in self-defense to remove Landfall’s ability to hurt his people at sea. It was a measured and reasonable response to an act of war that Ericall’s nation allowed, and has been allowing, and did not give Alzar any justice or recompense. So as the duly appointed ruler, he did was he had to for his people.
Ericall has no bullets in his gun. He’s not going to do anything against Alzar when he’s correct.
SABOTAGE IN ALPHATIA
Glantrian wizard-adventurers travel to Sunds*vall, capital of Alphatia, and harass Alphatian nobles there *fire-bombing noble estates, launching hit-and-run attacks on wizards and military officers, releasing conjured monsters in the streets, and the like.
The actual damage they do is negligible, but these incidents polarize opinions about the war in Alphatia- some are out*raged and demand Glantri be punished, while others wistfully recall the old days when this sort of thing didn't happen in Alphatia. The latter group begin to speak out in favor of isola*tionist policies that would enable them to just be left alone with their studies.
