France's government has summoned Iran's ambassador to press for the release of two French researchers held in a notorious Tehran prison. The foreign ministry expressed extreme concern about the health of one of the researchers, who is on a hunger strike. The researcher stopped eating along with a fellow academic and co-prisoner from Australia. Human rights activists say they feel they are unjustly imprisoned. France is seeking permission for consular officials to visit the researchers, who have been detained for many months.
France's government has summoned Iran's ambassador to demand the release of two French researchers held in a notorious Tehran prison, and to express "extreme concern" about the health of one who is on a hunger strike.
France considers the months-long detention of Fariba Adelkhah and Roland Marchal "unacceptable" and is seeking permission for consular officials to visit them, according to a foreign ministry statement.
The ministry said the ambassador was summoned Thursday, and that France is demanding "total transparency" about what is happening with the researchers.
Iranian officials disclosed in July that Adelkhah, a prominent anthropologist who often traveled to Iran for research on post-revolutionary Iranian society, had been arrested on espionage charges. Her friend and fellow researcher Marchal was arrested as he tried to visit her.
Adelkhah, who is French-Iranian, has gone on a hunger strike along with an academic and co-prisoner from Australia, Kylie Moore-Gilbert. The U.S.-based Center for Human Rights in Iran this week said the women stopped eating on behalf of researchers like themselves who are unjustly imprisoned.
Moore-Gilbert, a University of Melbourne scholar on the Middle East, has been jailed since October 2018.

Pilot draws 'Christmas tree' flight path with amazing precision
The test pilot's skills are pretty amazing, although it looks like it would have been a bit of a nerve-wrecking flight with all the circling needed to make the round Christmas decorations on the tree.
The best tree topper is definitely an airplane. https://t.co/CEadIGqKttpic.twitter.com/bhyxebQkWt— Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) December 13, 2017
Flight AIB232E was a test flight of the A380. It took off from Hamburg and headed south past Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart before making its merry way back to Hamburg.
The Christmas tree design is a far more family friendly use of flying. Earlier this year, a US Navy pilot found himself in hot water after he used his jet to draw a giant penis in the sky above Washington.

Boeing carried out a similar creative flight over the US this year, drawing a plane with a 787 Dreamliner. The flight was an 18-hour endurance test that also tested the pilot's drawing skills.

By Terry Boehmker
NKyTribune sports reporter
It didn't take long for students at Cooper, Conner and Boone County high schools to find out they'll soon be getting synthetic turf athletic fields built on campus.
"Once the story kind of broke on social media (Friday), I had a good amount of football kids coming in (my office) with big smiles on their faces," said Randy Borchers, athletic director and head football coach at Cooper.
On Thursday night, the Boone County Board of Education approved a project to replace the natural grass fields at the three public high schools with synthetic turf.
The project also includes upgrading the current synthetic turf field at Ryle High School and a full track rebuild with rubber coating at both Conner and Boone County.
Estimated cost of the multi-school project is $4.78 million. The money became available after the Boone County Board of Education received additional revenue from underpayment in taxes by a global company with a presence in the county.
"This (project) is something we've been wanting to do for a long time, but the funding has never been there due to other needs that we've had," said Eric McArtor, chief operating officer for the Boone County Board of Education.
"It's going to be a great thing for all of our kids, and great for our school district to come up equal with playing surfaces with everybody else," McArtor added.
At the present time, 14 of the 26 public and private high schools in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties have synthetic turf fields they use for football and soccer games and lacrosse matches.
Cooper, Conner and Boone County will join that list during the 2021-22 school year, if the school board project goes according to plan.
"This coming fall we'll definitely still have grass fields for the football and soccer season," McArtor said. "But then, after that season is over in the late fall, so I'm talking November and December, in our opinion that's when the process will start. And we want to have it done for the next school year."
Three years ago, Conner High School started a fund-raising drive of its own to build a durable synthetic grass field that would benefit several different sports teams as well as the school band and physical education classes.
The school hoped to raise between $630,000 and $750,000 so no tax dollars would be used for the project, but finding corporate sponsors was not easy. That all changed with the board of education's surprising announcement during Thursday night's meeting.
"We're very fortunate that they're able to do this for us," said Conner athletic director Jim Hicks.
"It helps all sports, not just football and soccer," Hicks added. "It really helps out our band as well and gives us opportunities for the softball and baseball teams to use it. And with the growing sport of lacrosse, it could give us a chance to raise a team someday. That's something on grass fields we'd never be able to do, so we can get more students involved in athletics."
Boone County athletic director Lance Melching said a synthetic turf field will solve problems at his school that the other ones in the county don't have.
"Because we're landlocked and we do not have a practice field, football and soccer and baseball and softball all have had to share the same spaces," Melching said. "As you can imagine, that puts quite a burden on those fields and none are in great shape by the end of the fall season. Now we will be able to lessen the burden on the existing fields as well as keep our kids on campus more often."
Borchers said having a synthetic turf field will also have a positive impact on students at Cooper. He's anxious for the project to get underway, but knows it will take some time.
"We're still in the early stages is my understanding," Borchers said. "As excited as I am, I would rather wait a year to make sure things are done the right way. And I've got 100 percent faith in our board and our superintendent to do this the right way."
As a head football coach, Borchers sees a lot of benefits to having a synthetic turf field. He won't have to cancel or adjust practice sessions due to sloppy field conditions or make drastic adjustments for home games.
"If it rains hard on Thursday night or early Friday, it really changes what you can or can't do when you're playing on a grass field because you know you're going to be dealing with a mess," he said. "This way, you're really just looking at what the weather will be like during the game and don't really have to adjust to the weather two or three days out."

Having lost faith in Roman Catholicism, David from the UK found himself drifting between doubt and disbelief. Islam revived his faith, but could he give up alcohol and pork? And how would his family and friends view him?

Ahmad grew up thinking that Islam was only for Arabs and Asians. But seeing others practice it showed him it was a universal religion.

With a career that started in the Northern Territory on cattle stations and mixed farms, James Manning, Stud Manager of Godolphin's Northwood Park Farm in Seymour, always knew the rural life was his calling.
"When I was a kid I always liked the idea of being a stockman and riding horses. After being in the Northern Territory on the cattle stations, I really fell in love with the horse side of it.'" James remarked.
James had little involvement with the thoroughbred industry growing up, except for the fact that his mum was partial to listening to the races on the radio and was known to have the occasional punt! Like most, it was the love of horses that brought James into the industry.
James reminisced to one of his fondest early memories of racing, "Listening to Lonhro in the Australian Cup on the radio sent shivers down my spine. It still sends shivers down my spine when I watch that race today."
Following that, James then had a light bulb moment that this is the industry he wanted to work in. Fast forward a few years and James is stud manager for Godolphin's Northwood Park.
James started his thoroughbred career at the Bob and Jack Ingham owned Woodlands Stud in the Hunter Valley under the management of Peter Flynn. Although James had a brief spell back at the cattle stations, he soon returned to the Hunter Valley and started working at Vinery Stud. After spending time at a number of other studs near Sydney, including Reavill Farm and Newhaven Park, an opportunity arose at Woodlands Stud now in the hands of Godolphin, as assistant stud manager to John Sunderland. James headed back to where his career in the breeding industry started and hasn't look backed since.
"Woodlands is a beautiful property and the opportunity to get back there on such a prestigious breeding property was an awesome opportunity." Exclaimed James.
After three years working for Godolphin in the Hunter Valley, Victoria was calling, and James took over the running of Northwood Park in Seymour. A property that the drive-way alone is breath-taking, let alone some of the horses that he would be working with.
"When I first started with Godolphin, I wasn't aware how good the quality of the stock was. The consistency of quality is even better now than what it was five years ago."
James has done it all when it comes to the different types and sizes of farms and now works for arguably one of the largest organisations in the thoroughbred world!
"His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and Godolphin as a company are fantastic to work for, they look after you so much. You get to work with the best bloodstock in the country and working with the best facilities. You've got to pinch yourself sometimes as you walk into a paddock and you have multiple Group 1 winners." Laughed James.
Godolphin puts great emphasis on having consistency within their farms and this is certainly something that James felt strongly about when taking over the running of Northwood Park. After working with John Sunderland at Woodlands, James was keen to ensure the processes adopted were similar to those implemented throughout the Godolphin empire. This process is aided by Jason Walsh, the national bloodstock manager for Godolphin, who spends time on both farms and ensures an effective sharing of knowledge.
James has worked with many renowned horses, such as Brazen Beau and Frosted who are currently standing at Northwood Park, but it is Impending who holds a special place in James's heart.
"He has let down into a magnificent looking horse. Everyone has commented on how well he is looking. That is one thing I haven't been able to do before, is follow a horse all the way through and back into the stallion barn. It is very special."
The role of mentors in this industry is paramount and James stresses the importance of them.
"You've got to have someone that you know, like and can trust. Having that sounding board and being able to bounce ideas off is a huge thing. They will give you an honest answer tell you if they think you are doing something wrong which you can take it or leave it."
James used to work for Danny Swain, who is now owner and operator at Glenelg Park in Victoria and Danny has become not only a close friend but also a great sounding board. This role often comes from within an organisation, and James fondly talks of one of his previous managers, Peter Flynn, who James described as 'one of the best practical stud managers he has ever met'. More recently, John Sunderland, has shared a great amount of knowledge and expertise with James helping ensure the continuity between the farms that Godolphin strive for.
It might not surprise you that if James was not working in the breeding industry you may well find him in the depths of the Northern Territory on a cattle station or cattle property somewhere across the country. For now, he will stay with the horses, as with most in the industry 'once it gets its teeth into you, you just get sucked in'.
James clearly has a great passion for the industry and would strongly advise anyone wanting to enter into the breeding world to 'Go for it, there are great opportunities if you put your head down, work hard and listen to advice from your mentors. For a rural industry it is one of the best.'

Tokyo's Nikkei stock index closes at highest level since 2007
TOKYO - Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index closed at its highest level in nearly seven years on Friday as the tumbling yen propelled the Japanese market, while investors breathed a sigh of relief over Scotland's vote to stay in the United Kingdom.
The benchmark Nikkei rose 1.58 percent, or 253.60 points, to finish at 16,321.17, its best finish since November 2007, while the Topix index of all first-section shares jumped 1.06 percent, or 14.00 points, to 1,331.91.
Tokyo's rally followed a positive lead from Wall Street, which saw another record close as investors bet that Scotland would not leave Britain. Later Thursday, the results confirmed that the "No" camp had prevailed.
Sentiment was also lifted by Wednesday's Federal Reserve decision to keep interest rates low and enthusiasm ahead of Chinese e-ecommerce giant Alibaba's expected initial public offering Friday.
Major Japanese exporters were the key winners as the yen slumped against the dollar, a plus for the firms' profitability.
In currency trading, the greenback was at a six-year high of 109.14 yen, compared with 108.68 yen in New York.
"Wall Street, the yen, Scotland -- they were all key positive factors today," said Kenzaburo Suwa, strategist at Okasan Securities.
"The market appears to be overheating, but the upward trend is likely to continue for now as investors see not buying shares as a bigger risk."

Nothing can stop God's plan for your life. "The Lord of Heaven's Armies has spoken—who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?" (Isaiah 14:27 NLT) Today, I want to declare words of blessing over you. I want to call forth your seeds of greatness. Someone may have told you what you can't become, but I'm here to tell you what you can become.
Stay with what you heard from the beginning, the original message. Let it sink into your life. If what you heard from the beginning lives deeply in you, you will live deeply in both Son and Father. This is exactly what Christ promised: eternal life, real life! I've written to warn you about those who are trying to deceive you. But they're no match for what is embedded deeply within you—Christ's anointing, no less! You don't need any of their so-called teaching. Christ's anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie. Live deeply in what you were taught. 1 John 2:24-27 MSG
The Bible is our road map to a prosperous and holy life. When we get lost, we can always find our way in God's Word. (Nisban Panwar)

I cant check out
Hello. Please contact us at email@example.com
I'm confused by what's in the box. Does it come with a battery, screens and two rubber caps. It didn't even list the solo 2 unit I presume thats in the box.
Hi, Yes. It comes with a pre-installed battery in the Solo 2 device, screens, and silicon caps for the two storage containers for each of the tubes. It is the full OEM kit. Thanks for letting us know, we've updated our page.
The pics of the Solo 2 are a bit confusing on your site...does the black unit come with black draw tubes or clear? I like the black tubes and this may seal the deal. Thanks in advance!
Apologies for any confusion. The image shown towards the bottom of this page has a dark background which make them appear as black draw tubes. However, the "draw tubes" or "Aroma Stems" are actually clear. Sorry, black stems stems are not available for this item.
Reliance of past reviews
Past reviews did not mention the curved pipe or the bong attachment which would be nice to procure or be provided as an ordering option. This is the first vapor and am quite pleased with battery life and ease of use; would hardily recommend for these reasons.
Arizer was the best dry herb vape I've ever had!
It was such a great purchase and hits amazingly for a dry herb vape. I couldn't decide between this or the mighty. Ultimately I went with this because of portability and ease of cleaning it.
Just your average pothead here and u gotta say I'm beyond ecstatic about my purchase. Thanks guys.
This works!
So much better than the pen type I was using. Built like a tank. Heats very quickly and the battery lasts a long time. Easy to clean too. Well worth the price.
Great product and customer service
Ordered on Thursday delivered on Monday. Great vape . Fast, delivery. Love it. Thank you
Huge Vapor Hits, Great Session Vape!!
Been using this one for a few weeks now and I can say overall WOW! First few hits are full with flavor then you crank it up and can puff on it for a full 10 minutes on one pack. The dry herb burns evenly because it sits on the heating element. The draw resistance is very low due to the air hole where the herb sits. I turn it on let it heat to 400°F and slide my chosen glass stem/straw inside. If you let it sit for another minute after loading your first hit will be visible through the glass. I bought the glass pipe adaptor from this site and a bubble straw from another one. Get more accessories is my only advice cause your prices and shipping times are great! I'll definitely get good use out of this vape for a very long time.
Fast. Easy. Great product.
Very Impressed
This is my third vaporizer and although I'm not expert, I am so impressed with the quality and features on the Arizer Solo 2. I do own an Arizer Air but heard from others about the awesome features of the Solo 2 so I bought one. It heats up fast, can recall the last temp that you used, shows the battery life ( a plus!) gives a great quality vapor cloud and is easy to clean. I would definitely purchased another if needed. It's not super light weight but does feel good in your hand. It typically holds a charge for 3 hours, depending on temp settings used, and can be used while charging. It's just a great device for the price.
Solid Vaporizer
My budget was around $200 and I read plenty of reviews that the Solo 2 was one of the best you can buy and I have to agree. I've not had much experience with other vaporizers yet, but the Solo 2 is worth the buy.
We agree, this vape is bulletproof and lasts! (probably not literally)

AXIS Flight School instructor Brianne Thompson is featured on the latest Performance Designs advertisement flying the PDR.
AXIS Flight School instructor Brianne Thompson is featured on the latest Performance Designs advertisement flying the PDR.
Being competitors at heart, Niklas and Brianne do their best to improve on a daily basis. This applies not only to competitions, but also their business and life's work – AXIS Flight School. AXIS has gone through an incredible online transformation, which could be called a "Cyber Grand Re-opening". These changes have been taking place behind the scenes for over two years.
The AXIS website has always been packed with lots of useful tools and information. In order to make the site more user friendly and to keep up with the times more than a facelift was needed. In fact, we started over. Major improvements include a color coded menu system which is easy to navigate, condensed information on every page, and not to be overlooked – The AXIS Skydiving Repository. Here we developed a digital sorting system that categorizes all or our articles and reference materials for faster recall. Now users can search for categories such as solo skills, canopy, camera, and much more to find what you are looking for.
In addition, AXIS Flight School now uses sig.ma, a platform on which you can keep track of accomplishments, IDs, licenses, merits, etc. in a digital form. This allows us to send merits to students who have demonstrated their proficiency to our AXIS Coaches™ and acknowledge their achievements. Available Merits are displayed at the top of each web page, and their colors correspond to the new menu system.
Our online tools are still available to all for free. All AXIS dive pool images, Draw Generator, and ChronoPrism have all been updated with the new 2019 formations.
Congratulations to OEW Skydive's latest USPA A-Licence graduate, Jonathan.
Spending 2 weeks with AXIS Flight School at Skydive Arizona, Jonathan completed is training with determination and enthusiasm. Here is a short highlight reel of his experience:
Instructors: Brianne Thompson, Niklas Daniel, Joost Luysterburg, and Murv Riggins. Special thanks to Skydive Arizona, UPT Vector, Performance Designs, Cypres, Cookie, and L&B for their support.
On August 11-14, AXIS Flight School went to Vector Camp #1 at Chicago Skydiving Center (CSC) to organize and coach in both FS and free-fly disciplines.
Brianne put together large belly groups and challenged them with formations AXIS put together. These jumps involved stepping out of the usual FS skill sets and rules and required participants to think fast and fly very precise. Nik provided video for some of the FS groups and also provided some free-fly organizing and angle jump coaching. The AXIS vs. Grillets big way belly sequential event ended up with a slightly different format than advertised. Because the turn out of the event was lower than expected, there just simply were not enough people to form four 10-way teams. Because of this, the participants were encouraged to come together and challenge their skills with more complex dives.
Performance Designes hosted their Backyard Accuracy Challenge, where participants were able to demo the Optimum reserve and fly through a simulated back yard with obstacles. The winner of the event walked away with a free OP Reserve!
On the evening of the 12th, three famous figures in the skydiving community were put onstage and asked to recall some of their favorite memories from their skydiving carriers. The evening took on a humorous mood as the mixing of crazy stories and alcohol continued. As Jason Cooke is located in Australia, he joined the event via a webcam and light projector.
For more images and info, check out the Vector Camp Facebook page.

Quebec foie gras, brioche crostini, red wine candied onions and caramelized apples
Appetizers, Foie gras
Quebec Foie gras, brioche crostini, red wine candied onions and caramelized apples
IngredientsRecipe for 4 persons
Foie gras and caramelized apples
Red wine candied onions
Preparation time: 20 min
- To serve
At the center of a plate, place a golden brioche slice. Nicely align 4 pieces of caramelized apples on top, and place the foie gras on top. Baste your plate with the red wine candied onions jus. Decorate the plate with 2 more pieces of caramelized apples, and place some parsley leaves or young shoots to garnish.
- Red wine candied onions
In a hot pan, add the butter and the oil, and cook the pearl onions. Add the sugar, slightly caramelize and deglaze with the red wine. Lower the heat and let simmer to caramelize the pearl onions. When the wine gets to a syrupy consistency, stop cooking.
- Foie gras and caramelized apples
Season the foie gras with salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a hot pan, sear them for 1 minute on each side. Place them on paper towel to absorb exceeding oil, and keep warm. Degrease your pan and add the apple cider and the sugar, then let it caramelize. Add the apples and caramelize until they reach a beautiful golden color. Simmer for 2 more minutes, making sure the apples remain a little crispy. Toast the brioche slices and cut them in half diagonally.
Be careful when you cook the foie gras, it has to remain tender when touched, so heat up at the last minute. You can use frozen or fresh pearl onions.

Wolf Claims Columbus Challenger Title; 18 Americans Kick Off Australian Open Monday; Grishuk Wins Grade 3 in Japan; Four US Boys Reach Traralgon Grade 1 Quarterfinals; Ngounoue Only US Seed at Bolton U14 Event
|JJ Wolf, photo courtesy Scott Gerber, OhioTennisZone.com
Wolf, who like Torpegaard received a wild card into the main draw, didn't serve well in the opening set, a contrast from his previous matches, where that had been a strength. Torpegaard, who graduated last year, served for the first set at 5-3, but wasn't able to close it out until the tiebreaker.
Wolf got the only two breaks in the last two sets, going up 3-1 in the second and never facing a break point after that. His serving did improve--he had 2 aces and 4 double faults at one stage, before ending with 7 and 5--but it was his forehand that was the difference today. Even when well behind the baseline, or on the run, Wolf was able to hit clean winners from that side and he never hesitated to go for it, no matter what the game score was.
In the third set, Wolf got his break to go up 4-2. He had to save a break point at 4-3, and wasn't able to convert the three match points he held when Torpegaard served at 3-5, but he closed out his first Challenger title on his fourth match point, winning the final four points of the game.
The 20-year-old from Ohio will now move into the ATP Top 300 for the first time, while Torpegaard will also move into the Top 300 with his appearance in the final.
The main draw of the Australian Open starts tonight in the US (Monday in Melbourne) with 18 Americans on the schedule. Unlike the qualifying draws, which were quite favorable to Americans and featured no first rounds that were US vs US, that's not the case in the main draw. Reilly Opelka and John Isner will meet in the men's first round, as will Sloane Stephens and Taylor Townsend.
Monday's first round matches featuring Americans:
Andrey Rublev(RUS) v Mackenzie McDonald
Michael Mmoh v Radu Albot(MDA)
Yoshihito Nishioka(JPN) v Tennys Sandgren
Cameron Norrie(GBR) v Taylor Fritz
Frances Tiafoe v Prajnesh Gunneswaran[Q](IND)
Andreas Seppi(ITA) v Steve Johnson[31]
Reilly Opelka v John Isner[9]
Marc Polmans[WC](AUS) v Denis Kudla
Chris Eubanks[Q] v Nikoloz Basilashvili[19](GEO)
Monica Niculescu(ROU) v Amanda Anisimova
Sloane Stephens[5] v Taylor Townsend
Alison Riske v Kiki Bertens[9](NED)
Julia Goerges[14](GER) v Danielle Collins
Ysaline Bonaventure[Q](BEL) v Sachia Vickery
Bethanie Mattek-Sands v Zoe Hives[WC](AUS)
Beatriz Haddad Maia[Q](BRA) v Bernarda Pera
In ITF Junior Circuit play, Skyler Grishuk won the Grade 3 tournament this week in Japan, which I was surprised to learn, was outdoors. The 16-year-old Grishuk, the No. 1 seed, defeated No. 2 seed Remika Ohashi of Japan 6-3, 6-2 in the final, after beating unseeded Rebecca Lynn 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinals. Grishuk, who is entered in qualifying at the Australian Open Junior Championships, has now won four ITF Junior titles, a Grade 4, two Grade 3s and a Grade 2. Lynn is listed as the 30th alternate for the Australian Open Junior qualifying.
At the Grade 1 in Traralgon, two surprises in the boys draw. Liam Draxl of Canada, who has signed with Kentucky for this fall, beat top seed and US Open finalist Lorenzo Musetti of Italy 6-3, 6-0 in the third round, and No. 16 seed Eliot Spizzirri took out No. 3 seed and Orange Bowl champion Otto Virtanen of Finland 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Spizzirri will face unseeded Zane Khan next, while No. 9 seed Cannon Kingsley has also reached the quarterfinals.
The first round of the Tennis Europe Category 1 event in Bolton is complete, with six Americans making the trip to England for the tournament. Only one of them is seeded, Junior Orange Bowl 12s champion and Eddie Herr 14s finalist Clervie Ngounoue, who is No. 8, and, like all seeds in the 64-player draw, received a bye. The only other US girl in the field is Katherine Hui, who won her first round match today. The four US boys who qualified for Les Petits As in the tournament's US event last October all are in Bolton, with Joseph Phillips, Kyle Kang and Learner Tien posting wins today. Cooper Williams lost his first round match. The USTA did not send coaches to Europe for these two events this year.
The top boys seeds are Alexander Blockx of Belgium and Luca Pow of Great Britain. The top girls seeds are Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva of Andorra and Junior Orange Bowl 14s finalist Victoria Mboko of Canada.
Live scoring is available at Tennis Ticker.

|Re: Letters from Ambassador Tukufu
Gentle Readers,
I return to conclude my reports to you of the Legion of the Black Sun, the Sea of Grass, and the Hunai.
I apologize to you for the uncommon delay. Simply put, in the aftermath of the fighting in the First City and the arrival of the Great General, my life has … changed. Many of the changes, I find, are disagreeable. Though I still find solace in writing to you, I have had the misfortune to discover that it is vastly harder to write when one's heart is filled with ash and stones. Some nights I just sit here alone in my office, by lamplight, and stare at blank paper.
But I am sure we all carry sorrows in the aftermath of the betrayals and combats. I do not wish to belabor my own. Or give in to despair. In fact I received stalwart advice from a friend in the Sea of Grass not to give in to despair. Onward! I return my focus to the night we spent amongst the Hunai.
The Hunai … let me again reiterate that they are a simple people. Not stupid by any stretch. But innocent of civilization and outside of many concepts we take for granted. Because of this I found them by far to be more alien than I do the cultures of the kio, the elorii, or even the ss'ressen. Though I also want to emphasize that they are peaceful, warm and friendly to outsiders.
Two mysteries presented themselves in the Hunai "village." First the oldest members we could see were somewhere between their late 20s or maybe their early 30s at the absolute limit. Where were the older adults? The second mystery was the discovery, shocking to me, that the Hunai's native language was derived from ancient Altherian. How was that possible?
We found a partial answer to the first question as twilight settled over the group. The oldest man in the gathering, no more than 30, got up and started hugging people and saying goodbye. It was rather joyous on the Hunai's part. When we asked where he was going the only response we got was, "Long Walk." I wish we investigated further, but I didn't realize the significance at the time. He went out and to my knowledge was never seen by mortal eyes again. At a certain age, all Hunai in the Sea of Grass go on the Long Walk.
The second great mystery was how the Hunai language could be a derivative from ancient Altherian. The inescapable conclusion is that somehow they are a lost remnant of the First Imperium. Their language, though greatly simplified, belongs on the same linguistic tree as Coryani or Khitani. How utterly bizarre! Some great story exists, I am sure, and that explains their current state. But I am ignorant of it. So are they. Their history has been stripped from them.
The Altherian connection was most apparent in the children's rhymes sung by the very young. These rhymes still contain sentences and grammar though I believe the Hunai no longer fully understand what the rhymes mean. I present two of them here for you:
I wish my room had a door
I do not care about a floor
But all this floating around
Without touching the ground
Is getting to be quite a bore.
Open wide, don't blink
The sovereign's link
He sees all with his staring eye.
He was on a mission
With his only ambition
To punish the man with the winking eye.
I can't help but wonder where those rhymes originated from. Or what stories they might hint at. It's the last piece the Hunai have left to link them to who they once were.
That night, safe on the Hunai's hill, I stared up at the stars. It wasn't quite perfect. Belinay wasn't snuggled up next to me. But she was safely at home, possibly looking up at the same stars from the terrace of Litera Scripta Manet. A sense of joy and contentment came over me. I would be home soon enough. In the meantime I was in the field exploring mysteries, surrounded by friends and the Hunai who wished me well. I was doing exactly what I was born to be doing. That night was the last time I was truly happy.
The next morning my friends and I would continue through the Sea of Grass. We were after the Legion of the Black Sun. As we travelled through the marsh and towering grass, easily seven or eight feet high, we encountered other Hunai settlements on hills. All surrounded by fruit trees. All with access to fresh water. All friendly … all essentially the same. No one over 30 anywhere to be seen. There were signs of the "Pphhtt Pphhtt" as we travelled, but nothing attacked us.
Eventually we caught up with the Legion of the Black Sun and my sunny mood soured. They had eventually ditched their wagons, but had still carried the amphorae of oil with them on foot. They must have marched all night, carrying a staggering load at a tedious pace. But being undead maybe they don't get tired or need to sleep? When we caught up with them, the Legion was arrayed around a stone structure, the only building we had seen in the See of Grass besides Fort Arlet. It must have been an ancient fortress of some type. There was a crumbling tower over the two floors of what I am guessing was either a monastery or keep.
And those monsters tore it down and set it on fire.
Maybe I was emotionally primed by the lost origin of the Hunai, but the Legions destruction of the ancient outpost was wrenching for me. They were essentially desecrating history! I wish I could tell you that we managed to slip past them and save relics from that site. Or maybe that Team BEAST magically joined us and together we charged in heroically and physically overpowered the undead horrors. But outnumbered ten to one, against veterans from the First Imperium, I can tell you not one of us felt like starting a fight. So I have to tell you, we all sat hidden in the tall grasses and waited to poke around after the Legion of the Black Sun left.
A colossal waste of time.
By the time the Legion was done and had moved on there was nothing left to recover. Nothing. And if I tell you I really dug around looking for something and came up empty, then I trust gentle readers you will believe me when I say there was nothing that survived to be found. The Legion of the Black Sun was unfathomably thorough.
With nothing left to do, we turned around and made the journey back to the First City.
Our patrons, the cabal with their grudges against the Legion of the Black Sun, were not altogether happy. As one might expect. Though we had faithfully executed the reconnaissance mission they asked for, and reported that the Legion had gone across the world to destroy an ancient fort, we couldn't begin to answer why. No one knew the thing even existed, much less who it belonged to. As a guess, I suggested the idea that the action was connected to the ancient feud between the val'Virdan the val'Emman. Part of me would have been amused if it was the val'Virdan of the Legion taking their own overdue revenge on the site of an ancient foe.
But without any proof even I thought my words were hollow. It was just an unsupported guess.
Almost immediately after our debriefing the world came unglued. Disaster in Seremas. Trouble in Biharn. Upheaval in the Khitani borderlands. War in the First City. I quickly forgot about the Cabal, and even now only intermittently think about them.
So concludes the adventures to the Sea of Grass.
I remain your obedient scribe,
Tukufu, Ambassador of Altheria

Nicely done Eric! Sounds like that was an awesome mod. This was one of the special Kickstarter tables right? If so Henry outdoes himself again. After reading this I get why Henry said the Hunai are nor pc ready yet. There too much about them we don't know. But the mystery sounds like it would be fun to unravel! Although I can't help but hear Monty Python in my head when you mention a stone fortress in the middle of a swamp (marsh technically--makes me think of the Everglades which has been referred to as a "River of Grass.") I imagine that's where Henry took his inspiration from.

|Re: Letters from Ambassador Tukufu
Cousins, Comrades and all Gentle Readers,
I was in a tavern recently, drinking. I was commiserating with some acquaintances and the topic of the Altherian warships heading to aid Seremas came up. My acquaintances' shock at the revival, however faintly, of "Altherimas" reminded me that no one has reported on the events in Biharn. Given both the remoteness of Biharn and the other calamities that have destabilized the known world, perhaps this is forgivable.
But it should be remedied.
If you, like me, are not really an expert on the League of Princess let me offer you a brief primer:
Biharn is a mostly autonomous principality, ruled by Prince Thetis who seems to be a popular and well regarded ruler. Though Biharn also "sort of" owes fealty to the Duchy of Pajaho, which in turn "sort of" owes fealty to the Kingdom of Whon. I continue to find this somewhat confusing. Biharn also hosts a Coryani Satrap who must also wield at least some power and influence.
Physically, Biharn lies inside and beyond the infamous Sword Fens. Its capitol Liveh sits on the Anghen River. Liveh is best known for its glassworks, which include vibrant colors of few impurities. The finest stained glass windows across the known world are often made with glass imported from Liveh.
Despite the beautiful glass, Biharn is largely considered a sleepy area far from the courts of great power. Most of the time, few would sent emissaries here. But Liveh also boasts a seer known as the Galeer Deffen (I believe the local spelling is Gwyliwr Dwfn). This seer peers into the sacred waters of Chimera Falls each year and sees possibilities of what might come based in the patterns of the turbulence. And it happens this year a lot of "external Powers" wanted that reading performed on their behalf.
Now the Mother Church maintains that only prophesies granted by Larissa are truly reliable; and I certainly encourage all readers to beware of charlatans. Still, what the Galeer Deffen does is not quite prophesy. She only sees possibilities. But even so, given the upheavals across the land, there were no shortage of supplicants eager to acquire intelligence on the next year or advice on how to navigate coming challenges
Only one individual can receive guidance from the Galeer Deffen. Sometimes the Seer picks a person from the crowd on her own initiative. But I believe that when the Court of Biharn clearly suggests an individual then the Gahleer Deffen honors the Court's "request." So of course a great deal of wheeling and dealing took place at the court as they hosted representatives of Seremas, Coryan, Altheria and Milandir. Among others. I think the general strategy was to send someone sufficiently powerful that their future would overlap significantly with that of their home nation.
I am sure I won't surprise anyone by saying that I joined Master Kelb in supporting ship captain and veteran merchant Ahmed val'Abebi of Altheria. Other prominent foreign visitors included: Deshan, an emissary of the Free City of Blackwand. Pontus val'Assante, Satrap of Coryan. Master Reckard Gerharnt, a wealthy Milandesian merchant. Seel Ry'yah, a Kio "observer." Mishradante val'Baucisz, Imperial Archon of Metra. And last but not least Alitheos of Seremas.
Members of the local court included: Prince Thetis, ruler of Biharn. His daughter Oscelia. Vehul Therym, the Seneschal of the Prince. Korvus val'Ossan, Prelate of Liveh. And Uunni, the Undir Speaker.
Nominally there were two events that were being decided. First was establishing if the Princes' Court would make a unified suggestion to the Gahleer Deffen. Second was deciding if anyone would be accepted as a suitor to Princess Oscelia who was coming of an age where she was expected to marry. As you might guess, as the events at court unfolded, a lot of other horse trading took place.
I couldn't possibly tell you all the possible offers and quid pro quos that were attempted. I can tell you that I was approached twice by parties with interesting artifacts and once from a member of Seel's entourage offering access to the Royal Kio libraries in Whon. All of this tempted me greatly. I also report to you that I heard whispers about "aid" from the Inquisition of the Mother Church, assistance from spy networks in the League, and even that the Satrap could commit or loan up to 10 Coryani Legions.
That last was an interesting tidbit to be sure. Ten Legions is ... a lot. The Prince of Biharn also had sharp words for the Satrap, questioning his friendship and resources. In a more perfect world I would have had time to investigate further. But it was roughly around then that a large mass of raiders attacked Liveh, which provided a certain level of energetic distraction for your chronicler, and everyone else there for several hours. I am happy to report that civilian casualties were very light. Though there was quite a bit of property damage, including the destruction of a beautiful Temple to Yarris.
Captain Ahmed val'Abebi kept his eyes on the prize through all this. With Kelb's help he secured first the Seneschal's and then the Prelate's favor, which secured the viewing by the Gahleer Deffen. This came at the price of a loan of 100 Shining Patrol scouts and research assistance in Altheria's libraries. Also while this was all unfolding the Imperial Archon, Mishrandante val'Baucisz, secured the right to pay court to Princess Oscelia. I believe several adventurers present actually booed this prospect. I guess they aren't planning to ever visit Metra...
Then there was the business of Seremas. In light of the developments that took place there during the so called Night of Screams, the Seremasi took the extraordinary step of seeking outside military support for what I believe is the first time in their existence. I am sure I am not the only one asking why the Vastwood doesn't simply send reinforcements. Perhaps they will in the fullness of time. Immediately however Seremas' options, as I understood them, were to choose between the Milandesians, the Coryani and the Altherian Navy.
Without being privy to the instructions given to Ahmed or Alitheos, I am reluctant to judge their negotiations. But it certainly seems to me that given the recent war between our two states that this new "join venture" might suffer from … cultural friction. I know the Milandesians were interested in sending aid, for a price. And I assumed that the Seremasi would select them. I can only suspect that the Milandesian cause suffered greatly by entrusting the negotiations to members of BEAST … as ss'ressen must have been even less palatable than Altherians. Perhaps by comparison it must have seemed relatively easy to accept the Altherian price of allowing their own investigators into Seremas to try to understand, and build defenses against the perpetrators of the calamity that afflicted the city.
I offer this fervent prayer to Altheres. And even to Belisarda. May this new alliance works out better than the last one.
I believe that covers the salient events of the Court of Biharn.
I remain your obedient scribe.
Tukufu, Ambassador of Altheria

|Re: Letters from Ambassador Tukufu
Cousins, Comrades and all Gentle Readers,
I commissioned a new sword.
What is a humble scholar to do? I would rather be writing letters to you and managing Litera Scripta. But the world is as it is, and not always as I wish it to be. Do I need to list the most recent horrors? Liveh (of all places), Seremas, the Temple of Nier, the First City and of course, the Destroyer now has a name.
Forearmed is ... forearmed.
Having done a service to King Archivir, I called in that favor from his court. If I was going to get a new sword then I wanted the best that money could buy. Obviously that meant dwarven forged. It took only a small bit of consultation to settle on Master Smith Zabine of Tir Betoq. To whom I promptly wrote. I am told in person that she is taciturn to a fault and never uses two words if one will do.
As a corespondent though, she was thoughtful and polite. She made a point of asking specific questions about me, my fighting style, and the physical dimensions of what I wanted. In the end she readily agreed to craft me the rapier I was looking for, if only I would do her a small favor in return. "Too many of my blades have found their way into the hands of men who insult them with fool names. For the love of Hurrian, and your Altheres, if you find my results worthy then please honor the sword with a name less vapid than 'Icicle' and less overly dramatic than 'Death Bringer.'" Who would argue with that? I wasn't even sure I was going to name the sword at all. After all I didn't name my old one. Or any of my flintlocks.
Well, the sword arrived today. Such a sword...
I will try not to bore you by elaborating at length on the exceptional balance. Or the beautiful swept hilt. But will you permit me to note in passing that Glass Steel has an excellent combination of toughness and hardness, and other properties ideally suited for an Awakened Val? Even the Ricasso was labor d over, it extended ever so slightly so that each side was capable of accommodating two small runes.
It's the finest object I've ever owned.
And of course, as I look at it. Absolutely. It needs a name.
Normally your humble correspondent is good with words. But I find myself struggling to pick just the right name for this new sword. I'm embarrassed that with its frost rune, "Icicle" did pass through my mind. As did "Executioner," which is altogether too dark for me. "Quill?" Rejected. "Owl's Talon?" Surely I could do better.
I've tried and discarded dozens names.
Frustrated, I turn to you. I know many of you, unlike me, bear heirlooms with names passed down through past generations. I have some hope this sword will be something I pass on. Does anyone know their heirloom got named?
I seek inspiration. And remain your humble scribe.
-Tukufu, Ambassador of Altheria

Your pardon, sir. I am but an Old Centurion, better with the thurst of a gladius than a turn of phrase, but in reading your letter, I thought to myself, you being a scholar and all, that you could name it Acuity's Sting or simply Acuity.
May it defend you from the horrors to come.
Perhaps I'll have the honor of finally meeting you in Grand Coryan. I go there to pay my respects to our beloved emperor, Scipio val'Assante', who lies there in state.
For duty and honor, ambassador!

I like the idea of something short, like "Wit." It seems only proper that for a man of such letters your wit should be feared, and your rapier wit go down in legend. Though perhaps as a man of the letter more than the sword, you do not want any confusion when people later say that you lived by your wits.

|Re: Letters from Ambassador Tukufu
Dear Ambassador,
The naming of a sword is not to be undertaken lightly. For myself, I find that just holding it does not always lend something of character.
The first time it is used in combat, though! The situation, foe or a singular piece of luck (good or bad) can instantly name a weapon. Stories abound of how some swords have been named. My lion-enchased adorned flintlock earned the name "Eye-Seeker" for the Cyclops killed with a single bullet but is otherwise an unremarkable weapon.
"Sting" for the small but deadly cuts inflicted, "Brightkiller" for the golden armour it penetrated, "Corkscrew" for the way it twisted in a wound and caused heavy bleeding. All swords need a story before a name is given.
I do hope it does not prove itself in need of an ill name such as "Betrayer", "Fumbler" or "Mindbreaker". Yet such cursed weapons do find themselves passed from owner to owner.
My own weapons are heirlooms passed down, so already come with names. "Duran's Kiss", a Fervedite gladius recently reforged and "Duran's Caress", a suit of Royal Lorica. Both touched and modified by the great Elebac himself in their history.
Yours faithfully,
Former Tribune Astra Tonsoria of the Legion of Heaven's Blade
OOC Note: Couldn't Heirloom a Fervedite gladius so had to wait for campaign access.

|Re: Letters from Ambassador Tukufu
I have recently read a copy of you letters from far off Plexus and as a craftsman myself (abet, musical instruments, as opposed to weapons), it pleases me greatly that you are taking the naming of the weapon with such seriousness. Too often I have seen fine objects named in a foolish fashion because the wielder thought it was funny. (One of the finest violin's I have ever had the pleasure to hold was called Ear Burster, because the owner though it was amusing. Such an atrocity)
May I humbly suggest a couple of monikers for the fine blade, first "Althares' Pen/Quill" then pen is said to be mighter than the sword, perhaps a bit whimsicaland not enough gravitas.
The other would be "Knowledge", or something in that vein, as knowledge is more powerful any any weapon.
But I am sure you will the name that represents the soul of the blade and it will be magnificient. I look forward about reading you exploits with it.
With kind regards
Umberto val'Borda
