>>30912817Report on Deadbeat LABEE, Entry #8
At long last, we've arrived at Gelanora. The road across Nanoramune was long, but straightfoward. It seems Citrora was right, and bandits want no part of a military convoy that can spot and kill them at 300 paces, though there was a singular incident with a rogue bootlegger trying to supplement his income. Thankfully, through some quick thinking from Niwa, we incapacitated them.
Gelanora, the northernmost undisputed city of the Himedom, is built around and above a sea cave with natural hot springs, an almost fitting final destination of our Deadbeat guests. For a settlement so cold, it has a surprising number of tourist amenities, nanora. To the west of the cliff face with the main sea cave is the rocky, industrial coast, where the Luknights of the Sea bring in their catches of large arctic tuna with a hearty "Nnaaa", a rare uncandied delicacy for the Himedom. Luknights of trade also frequent these ports with goods from across the arctic sea. To the east lie the white sugar sand beaches, where little Lupages play in the water while it is still a bearable temperature. During the fall and spring, when the seas freeze by it is not yet too cold to play outside, I am told local vendors like to sell "snow syrups" for making one's own icy treat. I should try to see if we may acquire some out of season for our Deadbeat guests.
As specified by the Hime's decree, I have shown Magnus the plot provided by the Deadbeat base/embassy, on the far west of Gelanora. It contains a nice space of both solid land and coast, and Magnus seemed more than satisfied (though not before testing the soil a bit). While the base is constructed, we have been lodging in prized hotel, the Sweet Hime Sorbet Lodge. While not the Lady Hime by any means, its interior is warm and inviting, with a sweetbread-aromatized sauna room and private (though small) hot spring tub.
Loyalty to Luna,
Lady Noravera Jaggery
