Opening post by Lady Eddara Tallhart · #1
Before anyone says it cannot be done, fetch me three horses, a lantern, and the nearest idiot. Walter choosing Peter left the gate wrong-footed, not unclear; I could follow the choice even while the universe around it seemed to have misplaced the floorboards.
I took my banner out of ENVY today and rode alone again, which is a stranger decision than it sounds when every road offers a different wall to worry at. The choice was mine; the consequences merely had the bad manners to remain visible.
You can call the Observers unsettling without pretending they made the episode obscure. A mark behind my keep’s rally screen is one concrete nuisance; a world bending around Walter is another. I prefer problems that show where to put the lantern.
