Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Therion couldn't help but smile at the young lady's enthusiasm. She reminded him a bit of Kaylira with those dark unruly curls. The main reason he had suggested a match between this girl and the son of the Lord of High Reaches, and had offered to allow them to live at Fort, was because Xyliah was one of Kaylira's best friends. He wanted her to have familiar faces around her so she wouldn't be too homesick. He had arranged for another of her good friends, a Journeyman Harper, to be posted to the Hold as well.
While she appeared a bit nervous, she seemed to be taking her betrothal to a man she had never met rather well. Perhaps like the daughters of the major Holds, she had been raised to accept her duty to marry whomever her father chose for her. Some of his minor holders held to the old traditions while others allowed their children to marry for love. His own daughter Nathera didn't meet her husband until their wedding day, and the two of them were now quite happy together.
Asterie was a different story altogether. Therion had been angry at first when she had told him that she was pregnant by the son of one of his holders, but how could he condemn her for it when she had been conceived from an illicit affair that he had carried on with the woman he had later married? Now Asterie was back at the Hold, widowed and childless. After his own wedding was over, he would actively look for another husband for her, whether she wished to be married again or not.
He nodded graciously as Xyliah thanked him. “It is my pleasure to assist a friend of my betrothed. Kaylira has spoken quite highly of you. She should be here in a few days and I'm sure she will be thrilled to see you again. You'll need to get with my mother to find out the exact date she'll be here. The two of them are planning our wedding together as well as redecorating some of the rooms in the Hold.”
