Pre game current events (Seira)

"Nothing I saw, but I didn't stay long," Donald admits, "May want to send a few observers there."

[Corwin]

"Figure out with Elle who would work well for that?" Seira suggests. "For now, let's move on to the rest of the inner planes."

[Anastasia]

"Earth's boring," Donald said, "The dao are tighter than Amaryl's asshole right now, they're doing something internally and keeping everyone out. I didn't find a good lead on it when I was there, they're taking this one seriously. My normal sources weren't there or wouldn't talk." Smiling just a bit, "I did beat up a dao slaver and got a little bit of information from him before sending him off to oblivion, though. It's something to do with the Xorn, which makes the next information better. Ever heard of The Great Xorn?"

[Corwin]

Seira leans across the distance and slams her fist into Donald's nose. "Don't get crude about my wife," she tells him matter of factly as she sits back down, smiling pleasantly at him. "The one rule I have. Family is off limits."

Her point is made, though whether it takes for long enough is another thing entirely. "The Great Xorn? They all look the same to me, sorry."

[Anastasia]

"OW!" Donald rubs his nose, "Well, it has to be tight because you don't have a - oh, nevermind," He stops himself as he massages his nose. "He's some legendary Xorn wanderer. He's seen as a legend amid them. I heard he's taking an active interest in what they're doing and rallying them."

[Corwin]

"For what purpose?"

[Anastasia]

"Not sure," Donald admits, holding the still cool drinking glass to his nose. "But I did hear he's talking about slave Xorn the dao have."

[Corwin]

"Let's see if we can reach out to him, get the full story," Seira muses.

[Anastasia]

"I'll put it on," Donald says, "Next is Water. The marid aren't getting into any particular trouble, beyond having contributed a little bit to Aurora. The current Padisha is firmly anti devil, so that didn't make any waves. Oh, an officer from Aurora is a minor noble there now, her name is Bubbles."

[Corwin]

"I suspect there'd be a lot of that in the near future," Seira voices "Happily, we're in the same boat with Kascha, so we'll have an in if we need one."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, by the way, later on in Water, Ben-Hadar send me a message to come on by. He asked me if I'd seen anything unusual in Ice or the border regions with Ice," Donald admits, "But I hadn't. Dropped into Ice awhile afterwards, didn't see a lot of immediate interest. Still cold, still miserable."

[Corwin]

Seira nods. "Kascha would know more. I know she was involved there recently along with Surraruthru. I'll have her sum it up for him later."

[Anastasia]

"Oh yeah, I need to see if I can learn those dragon princess spells of his, they're useful," Donald snaps his fingers. "Air's busy. Story is that the lord of the storm elementals ans Yan-C-Bin got into a fight. It's the big story since apparently there were a lot of witnesses. It was inconclusive from what I hear most commonly. I visited court and Lady Chan was fairly coy about what was going on, but she hinted that she wouldn't mind a visit from you or Alicia, or maybe both."

Donald pauses to put the glass down and sniffles a bit, "She did it by telling me, "Here's a hint: Tell Seira I want to talk to her soon.""

[Corwin]

"I was flattered. Not to mention, I love sets," Seira agrees. "And Chan just jumped to the top of the list. Barring a swift and favorable response from Arvandor, I'll be taking a short trip to Air later today."

[Anastasia]

"Few other elemental tidbits," Donald says, "Let's see...Smoke's having a massive influx of magma para elementals who are using magic and portals to channel in watefalls of magma, which they put into cooler places so that it become rock as it falls, forming great rock slides. No idea why, I didn't visit. Heard that rumor a few times from sources."
