  • Adoubement / #319 14 January, 1904(Risen Burgundy)  Your duke's ransom spills across the grey stone of the Gravensteen like the blood of a kingdom entire. The city shudders beneath you. The stones sing your name. All along the walls and watchtowers, guards raise their herald's trumpets to their lips and blaze a fanfare in your honour, without ever knowing why.  A terrible light and vigour swallows the figure of the Last Duchess, as the spirit of the city overtakes her mind and body. The Spirit draws a sword, and the blade is the silver of an undisturbed canal. It raises the weapon, and the angle of the hilt is the transept of Sint-Niklaas'. The flat of the blade lands on your shoulder and the weight is almost crippling – the hopes, lives, loves of a duchy.  Then the weight abates, and the light fades, and the dimness of the Roof swallows the ceremony. The Last Duchess is wan, and almost staggers as she sheathes the sword. When you rise, you do so as a Knight, with all of the attendant responsibilities and privileges. You are permitted to kiss the Ducal hand, and the guards touch their forelocks as you pass.ALT

    Congratulations! I'm going for Worm myself first, but honestly there's only so many brass lollipops I can bear to make. What does the current Stuvier grind look like?

    Ahh, amazing! I cannot deal with the Bone Market, so before Firmament I was doing the City in Silver grind, which was boring as hell (ha, ha). 😭 Good luck with yours!

    For the Stuivers, I just did the Stacks over and over. I’m not sure if there’s a better way to do it. I’d do it until I got the Chained Volume, sold the Glimpse of Anathema + the other piled up items, rinse and repeat. I don’t mind the Stacks as much as the other grinds, but I’m also happy to be out there for a while. :D

    really compelling article about the number of "obvious ai tells" that are also… how a lot of people educated in english writing in colonized nations are taught to write. i.e. highly formal english rhetoric.
