Title: Stirrings in the Night Sky...
Post by: Dorganath on December 17, 2014, 10:21:35 pm
As night falls across the continents of Mistone and Alindor, astute skywatchers and members of Lady Comfort's faithful take note as Prunilla's Gift begins to move across the sky and away from its usual place around Traveler's Luck. By midnight, Prunilla's stars slow their movement and come to rest nearly directly overhead at midnight. Within minutes of this event, the Great Tide representing Mother Ocean's presence in the heavens breaks away from its place in the southern sky and rolls like a deep-water wave toward the same part of the sky now occupied by Prunilla. With the first touch of morning in Katherian and Spellgard, the two groups of stars begin to orbit slowly around a common point between them.
Title: Stygian watched the stars
Post by: Ravemore on October 02, 2014, 11:03:08 am

Stygian watched the stars throughout the night, his lips pursed in thought. An event such as this was very rare indeed, and as a practitioner of the Dark Arts he knew that such things often were portents, or had underlying meanings to the uninitiated… they often meant opportunity to him and his ilk as well. As the first rays of morning light began to creep above the horizon and the occasional cloud darkened to deep red, he went inside and made his way to his library. He pulled every book he owned on astrology, astronomy, and the deities and began reading. He was particularly interested in the point of the sky where the two constellations were now rotating. Throughout the day servants brought him strong cups of coffee to ward off the sleep his body seemed to  want so badly.

Title: The bard hustles about his
Post by: RollinsCat on October 02, 2014, 11:44:47 am

The bard hustles about his inn, ordering and planning and trying to pry words from the increasingly quiet Lola, and therefore misses skyside events in his good-natured obliviousness. It is not until  a few evenings later that the stellar news reaches his ears from sharper-eyed patrons, Deliarian halflings to be exact. It is from their card table in the gaming room, scattered with lucky clovers and rabbit's feet and shimmering gold coins, that the three young halfling men speak of the moving constellations they've observed as they've been sleeping under the stars on their trek from Taur'en to the Hold.

The bard passes some time with the trio but is eager to head to his roof and observe. As soon as he can politely extract himself, he sets up a telescope, sketches the events as he understands them, and finshes with an observed sketch of the new positions, wondering with some sadness if Lady Comfort and Lord Luck had a falling out? Well - Ilsare's loving touch will mend, certainly. Yet this bears looking into, and so he contacts a few people and decides to seek a ship's captain and priestess of  Shindelarian who almost certainly has noticed these changes and, given her proximity to her lady's domain, might have additional information. A quick pack and short trip to the docks later, he begins to inquire the whereabouts of the Jakzonvilet and one Captain Emilia.

Post by: SteveJW on October 03, 2014, 11:15:46 pm

*Kyle was sitting on one of the benches outside the house in Krandor in quiet thought when he noticed the movement of the stars. Puzzled...he goes into the house to get a looking glass. Upon finding one...he looks at the new positions of the stars growing more puzzled by the minute.*

"Strange. Stars don't usually move like that. I'll need to speak with a priestess of Shindelaria. They'll know better on what this means. Ferrit will want to come too. Better find her..."

*Before he leaves...he takes his Spear of the Keeper's Guard off of the weapons rack and packs it. He has this nagging feeling he will need to become profcient in it's use.*

 

 

Title: When was the last time the
Post by: Anamnesis on October 03, 2014, 12:44:28 am

When was the last time the the stars had shifted, it had been awhile since Elohanna had thought about it, and not until she sat around the fire in center, did she begin to remember the details from so long ago. The sky was full of dust back then, and some believed the sky would never been seen again and around the time of the famine. Now it was happening again, and it truly unsettled her. When the last fight occured between the God's, Aeridin had chosen to forbid half elfs, or half species of any kind. But this didn't seem to involve Aeridin. What could it be? Whatever it was she was certain that they did not want to be caught unprepared and thought perhaps it was time for another visit to North Point to visit her own church, and find out what they may know, if they had heard anything yet? Perhaps on her way to North Point she would hear more. 

Title: Well after midnight, Ferrit
Post by: Serissa on October 03, 2014, 10:23:56 am

Well after midnight, Ferrit glanced up at the night sky after leaving the store.  Puzzled and alarmed by the change in Shindaleria's constellation, she changed her route and headed toward Krandor to find Kyle.  A trip to Erilyn would be needed.  Noting Prunilla's new position as well, she wondered what it might mean for her granddaughter, Katelyn.

 

Title: A small fire in an old,
Post by: Aphel on October 03, 2014, 01:48:45 pm

A small fire in an old, deserted cave beneath a cold, starfilled night sky. Muffled conversations of rangers returning or going out on patrol, about the weather, events or gear fading away into the background and giving way to the nocturnal symphony outside. Here, in the twilight of distant starlight and the homely flicker of  a campfire stood a small silhouette, two amber-colored eyes stared up at the strange ballet on the night sky.

When he woke the next morning, he decided to hurry south, to make an inquiry.

Title: // This event takes place one
Post by: Dorganath on October 04, 2014, 12:46:08 am

// This event takes place one game month after the first movement of stars

While more and more people are still looking up to ponder the meaning of the month-old Heavenly activity, the stars belonging to Lucinda begin to transit across the sky, moving in a way that looks as if her stars fade out on the trailing edge only to flare back into being along the leading edge. Her stars circle the co-orbiting pair until they can move into formation with them, with Prunilla to her right and Shindaleria to her left. The rest of the night on the western continents passes without any additional upheavals, but those watching nightfall on Dregar make note of the most surprising change yet: The Creator's Hammer, an immobile testament to Dorand's unyielding tradition and strength, is out of place. By nightfall the following night, the Hammer has joined the circle, taking place opposite of Prunilla and between Lucinda and Shindaleria.

Title: It took Tyra longer than she
Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on October 04, 2014, 10:02:39 am

It took Tyra longer than she would have liked to become aware of the events stirring in the heavens.  For one so prone to gallavanting about at night, she would have thought she might look to the stars at least once over the last month.  But having lost much of her faith in Gods in her youth and caring more about mortal affairs than those of the Gods, she thought nothing of the early gossip about moving stars.

Now she sat at the window in her rented apartment at the Green Dragon, her base of operations while she investigated (unwisely some might say) strange goings on in Vehl despite her exile from Co'rys.  She longed for the old astronomy equipment she had in the tower she rebuilt in Dapplegreen.  The tower Co'rysian officials confiscated following her exile.  She had no idea what was happening in the heavens, or any idea what to make of it.   She sat looking for Beryl's Geode and Toran's Guiding Light, wondering what constellation would move next, and what it all meant, until she could sit no longer, and decided to pay the grounds around Rofirein's temple a visit, hoping to collect some gossip about these strange occurances.

Title: After some unfruitful
Post by: Ravemore on October 04, 2014, 08:26:09 pm

After some unfruitful investigation in Haven, it becomes clear to Stygian that the pathetic indignus serving Prunilla know nothing more than the sheep flocking to them with questions. He sits at his desk for a few minutes in thought. He taps his fingers, mentally considering and weighing the consequences and benefits of his actions.

At last he pens a quick letter to his Brothers in the Mesgard Maligare. When complete he seals the parchment with a blob of black wax, affixes his personal seal, and inscribes a curse to be unleashed on any person not of the Veneficus Order that opens it. He summons his familiar, a small red devil with a forked tail and instructs it to deliver the missive, and to also ensure it does not fall into the hands of any Sancti. (PM Sent – See Character Profiling.)

Unknown to Stygian, a servant of the Oraculum Mortis watches from the shadows in his home… ready to report his actions to its true master. See Character Profiling.)

Post by: davidhoff on October 05, 2014, 09:21:01 pm

*In the dark of night, a lone rider makes his way up the snowy and dangerous climb of the Breck Mountains.  The pony he rides has obviously made the climb several times based on its unbelievable pace.  At certain times the moonlight catches the insignia of an axe on the rider's cloak and an occasional glimmer of mithril from his neck.  The direction is Ulgrid and his determination is unquestioned.*

Title: // This event takes place one
Post by: Dorganath on October 05, 2014, 11:15:24 pm

// This event takes place one game month after the second movement of stars and two months after the first.

Another month passes since the latest upheaval in the night sky and many turn their eyes upward for the next portent that will show itself in the Heavens. They are not disappointed. While no one sees the beginnings of motion, when the sky is dark enough, Goran's Tool can be seen gliding from its place in the western sky toward the Four now circling overhead. By midnight, it takes its place between Dorand and Lucinda. And, in an event much discussed and theorized before this night, Traveler's Luck begins a similar crawl across the sky, eventually finding a place in the circle of stars in formation between Prunilla and Shindaleria as the six constellations turn slowly about a common, unseen point between them all.

Title: As Elohanna travels between
Post by: Anamnesis on October 06, 2014, 06:33:15 am

As Elohanna travels between North Point and The main Prunilla temple, she keeps track of the other dieties, watching to see if Aeridin, or Ilsare have moved as well. 

Title: *Storold instruct the ones
Post by: Pibemanden on October 06, 2014, 06:50:39 am

*Storold instruct the ones atuned to magic in his household to spread out over the northern part of Dregar and report any weakening of magic back to him to ensure that the Lady is best prepared for what is to come. He provides them with enough true for them and their families to live in the location for a year and instruct them not to take major risks, but rather report back as soon as possible.*

Title: With frequent glances toward
Post by: RollinsCat on October 06, 2014, 11:49:40 am

With frequent glances toward Ilsare's heart and clef, Andrew turns his black-brown eyes on a spot in the sky as his breathing is defined by the chill air on top of the Buckle. Circled by Prunilla and Shindelaria's stars first, then one month later Lucinda's and Dorand's, and one month after that Goran's and Deliar's, that bit in the middle...intrigues him. With his wife on the way to North Point and Ty and Lola out into the world, he has a rather sudden freedom to investigate. A bittersweet freedom - he can't even think that word, but to see a child's face - yet he can't deny the twitch of excitement once the concept works past his emotional reaction. Through a hastily purchased telescope, he sketches.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/34xruwy.jpg)

The Al'Noth will be used, almost certainly, to explore that spot. But what about technology? There was a time, during the Green Dragon Cult wars, when Goran's children helped them all - and the bard still has a contact name. 

They have to have a telescope bigger than this. They're gnomes. They simply have to, because, well; why wouldn't they?

Title: Another thought strikes him
Post by: RollinsCat on October 07, 2014, 08:47:14 am

Another thought strikes him as he pens a message to his contact in Hempstead. Dorand's Hammer...Goran's Tool...Shindelaria's Wave - hm, odd one out - then Traveler's Luck, Prunilla's Gift, and Lucinda's Necklace.

What are you lot up to? Are you building something up there?

Title: *Frustrated by the reluctance
Post by: SteveJW on October 07, 2014, 11:48:18 pm

*Frustrated by the reluctance of the captains at the Vinn Dolan docks...Kyle heads back towards the Crimson Eagle Memorial where he meets Ferrit whom he had caught up with a few days earlier. The sky was turning to dusk and the stars in thier new positions were becoming visible in the night sky. And right on schedule...the doom sayers started calling out their predictions of doom.*

"Ceela...unless you know of a way to get to Erylin other than by boat...we are stuck here. The captains are just too nervous about the stars and their new dance in the sky. I say we look for other guild members nearby and see what they think of this." *Looks up at the stars.* "What I wouldn't give to be at an observatory right now..."

Title: // This event takes place one
Post by: Dorganath on October 08, 2014, 12:31:47 am

// This event takes place one game month after the third movement of stars and three months after the first.

Stargazers, scholars and the clergy of many religions look upward another month hence from the last shift in the Heavens and bear witness to yet another upheaval. From it's place in the East, Aragen's Book moves toward the Six. The transit takes most of the night, and as the Book nears the others, the circle parts for Aragen's admittance. In the slow dance that takes place over the next few hours, Aragen's book comes to rest in the center of the other stars. The circle closes its formation again and its movement, even the slow rotation, comes to a complete stop, or at least slows to be imperceptible. Though no one can be sure, there is a sense of completeness about what now appears overhead.

Title: *Griff stands atop a snowy
Post by: davidhoff on October 08, 2014, 03:53:39 am

*Griff stands atop a snowy mountain near the Ulgrid fortress.  He stares into the night sky, his axe drawn and in his hand down by his side.  He observes the odd movements of the stars and the Justice of Him.  As the circle of stars parts for Aragen's Book and then slow to a stop he raises his axe into the cold night air and prays as he looks up*

Fatha we will beh Vigilant!  Guide meh to Ye service n show meh the course Oi must take on dis.  Praise ye name Vorax n let meh do dat which is Yer will.  Oi tank ye fer be'n wit meh on dis mount n Oi strive wit all meh moight tah answer when Oi'm called.

Title: On his now-nightly looking
Post by: RollinsCat on October 08, 2014, 12:01:09 pm

On his now-nightly looking up, the bard watches as his Lady's enemy moves dead center. His sketch is hastily updated along with notes.

(http://i57.tinypic.com/1zlb0px.jpg)

Smithing, tools, invention, magic, family and food, money and trade, healing and wisdom...are they giving birth up there? A new race, a new god or goddess? All the keys to decency reside in the dieties circling the book.

He must find a bigger telescope.

Title: *In the night's light a huge
Post by: willhoff on October 08, 2014, 09:03:17 pm

*In the night's light a huge bear sits atop a lonely hill somewhere in the Great Forest.  The bear's shaggy and grizzled fur sheenes and shimmers refecting off the evenings' glow.  Strangely the bear seems to be looking up, gazing even, as Aragen's Book eventually assumes its place in the middle of the newly formed star formation.  Just then, a haggered looking old wolf appears from the tree line and sits along side the bear.  The bear turns to the wolf and paws the top of the wolf's  head like they've been long friends. 

After the bear and the wolf sit for a while in silence the bear's form  reduces to a stout whitehaired dwarf.  Zigruum looks at the wolf while rubbing its kneck.*

What ye tink' of all dis Blizzard?  *The wolf looks up briefly and howls at the moons and the new star formation.*  "Aye, Oi tink Oi bes' head for de woodland realm and foind some balance on dis ting in de sky."

*With that the wolf runs off back into the trees and the druid dwarf wanders slowly after it until he stands near a very large and old hickory tree.  He puts his hand on the tree almost in prayer and vanishes inside.*

Title: At the first change in the
Post by: mixafix on October 09, 2014, 09:34:59 am

At the first change in the stars Foresta Fiveoaks looked skyward stoically unmoved to action. Watchful concern might be a better description, though whether she would commit to it was in the balance. Wasn't everything. She abandoned her course of travel a month later, no longer committed to that journey, she ran four legged and fast for Spellgard. There to listen, to soak up the mood, gather the sense on the ground. But later with the final star change she was herself changing; flying fast to Center there to watch the adventurers fire, gather their knowledge, track their movement. Only a silent mute monk passed by; not the most informative individual all things considered.

She noted knowledge was not the calling star, but arrived last, circled by the adventuring stars already in place. She chuckled at that, I mean the world revolved around the balance of neutrality, of sense of nature, why not the stars. Life was all about circles was it not.

With few adventurers called to the long burning fire at center she flew skyward hoping nature's flyers would have news. First to flight from danger they would know, surely.

She considered a long journey to the Oak, but what would they say so early in the day. She remained uncommitted to such a positive action, and waited, listening, sensing,  and wondering.

As Daniel putters around Wayfare, he hears the gossip of the villagers and grows concerned.  Checking some internal barometer, he goes looking for his long mothballed shield and armor.

Title: No. No, it's not a birth of a
Post by: RollinsCat on October 09, 2014, 01:48:55 pm

No. No, it's not a birth of a race. They'd need Ilsare for that, for what is a birth without love and song? What is life without inspiration and imagination? 

But they have tools, and magic, and knowledge, and inspiration of Goran's kind. They're building something. Maybe it's creation, but not on the scale he first imagined. And we're supposed to notice - they're gods, after all. They could do it on the sly and never the species world-bound shall know, but no. Constellations moving, circling, and in general acting as if they're at a circle dance...

...come to think of it, that's quite how it unfolded. Almost a bransles; males and females represented, although not arranged male-female-male-female. He's being silly, of course, but now the visions of god and goddesses dancing won't leave his head. He strums out the rhythm for Washerwoman's Bransle, da-da-da-da-daa-daa-daaa, da-dadada-daa, in four-four time. Oh, Ilsare, why didn't you join? You'd have had them all whirling to your Heartsong.

No. Building, that makes more sense. Is this time significant? Is there something that is supposed to happen, or are they making it up as they go along? Prophecies abound, but separating the notes from the noise is tedious. And might require Aragen's library, a logic place to start but no place for a cleric of Ilsare.

Then there's the unrest. Reaching his ears at the Buckle are reports of those opportunists and fanatics who read the portents for their personal gain or pet beliefs. That's going to be a real problem if it's not checked, and so soon after famine and war. It must be stopped. It must be stopped with truth, not with more rhetoric.

Bugger. This isn't something to be gone alone. Letters must be written, for if he knows his friends, they've all scattered to libraries and temples world-wide to do their own discoveries. This calls for a meeting of minds. It's time to break out ink and quill, and a good cigar or two because this will take a while.

I have no doubt you've noticed the stirrings in the sky. I also have no doubt that you've done some inquiry, as we can't seem to resist it, can we? I suggest as many of us as can or are interested meet to discuss our findings. Who knows - it might be occasion for a party!

I'll suggest Stormcrest as I've seen many of us there recently. The Center fire is too well known, on the off chance that there is danger in these stellar movements.

Hope to see you there soon, and may you be guided by love and inspiration.

Title: Some days after Daniel rides
Post by: cbnicholson on October 20, 2014, 08:31:16 am

Some days after Daniel rides out of Mariners Hold for Bydell Castle and the Aragenite library it holds.  Upon arrival he makes it known he wishes to speak to a librarian about the happenings in the night sky and also if the Aragenites can tell him of any special dates that may be coming up in their vocational calenders. (Holy days for Aragen, or special rememberances, etc).  He willing to hear even conjecture from an Aragenite on the matter as the previous discussions he heard around the fire ranged from the Gods making something, to mass weddings, to even blaming Aragen for some misdeed. 

 

Some months later a letter arrives at the Angels Guild Hall in Hempstead addressed to Kyle and Ferrit

Angels,

I have been at Bydell Castle for over a week and I have little to report other than a new zeal on the part of the scholars here in studying this matter.  I will be staying another month at least and report back again.

Yours in the Dragon,

Daniel.

Title: He sees his son. Finally. And
Post by: RollinsCat on October 10, 2014, 12:05:26 am

He sees his son. Finally. And Ty is looking for him - a number of people are converging on Stormcrest, his son says, and he's expected. Well, he didn't cramp his hands for nothing after all. Indulging in loving parental interrogation of his offspring and a hug that makes him as happy as he's been in years, he is on his way to the Crossroads.

They are there - the bard's heart leaps to see his old friend Daniel, and the embrace he recieves nearly crushes his ribs. More joy. Rose appears in good health, if distant. The glow of her skin and the clearness of her eyes is a relief. Kat is there, and Tori - his new head of security - and Iri, Quenton, Rodlin, the elf Glitch. And, most importantly, his Minu. Just sitting with her brings him peace.

The stars are discussed. They run through ideas from probable to outright nuts. He wonders if there are any events that mark this time, either predictions from the past or anniversaries of events. Daniel, willing to enter Bydell's library which is Aragen's stronghold, heads off to investigate. The idea that there might have been something in that spot in the sky previously is also raised, and Kat agrees to check into that as much as she can.

It strikes him that the stars don't move - which means they must be moving with that location, to stay stationary there all night and presumably all day. It also means that they may be no longer visible to parts of the world. Iri points out that they might be visible when it's night on the other side. Are they? Tori and Iri will check - he'll know soon enough if the constellations move to the other side of the world and what locations close to portals can see them. With that information, they may be able to triangulate the location the spot hovers over, if the constellations are indeed fixed.

After war and famine and Freedom and moths, he feels a shiver of excitement. Either he's insane, or he's actually having fun.

Best not to ask the wife which it is. He's pretty sure he knows the answer already. 

Title: "If you need help, let me
Post by: Acacea on October 10, 2014, 12:48:29 am

"If you need help, let me know," Rodlin had said. "He thinks I can't cover it!" scoffed Iri. Tori looked down and realized the halfling had appeared beside her while she was putting the map away. She raised her eyebrows. "You invited? Pfft."

"Yes!" exclaimed the noisemaker. "You might need a reader!"

Tori opened her mouth, then closed it, grunting in response. "Heh. Yea. A'right." "Or an axe!"

Once she'd packed the maps and divided the traveling/bribe money between them and different purses, they took the easiest route first. Dalanthar, from the Shack, was mere steps away, and they arrived with some time to scout out a good location to observe the skies from and mark the maps. If the constellations are now fixed, where are they when seen from Dregar? The differences are recorded against the rough 'gazer maps from Alindor and Mistone, and their own memories.

Another few steps away, back to the Shack. This was the hard part, if time was a factor. Belinara could be reached in a short time, but it could be dangerous and longer to return once there. They'd marked two way portals on the maps, but each had more travel time.

They marked the lines on the map and looked at each other. Technically, the islands were roughly in line from Dregar. Though it had a two-way portal, it would be better to grab another area... they marked another portal and started the journey to Blackford, banking on the idea that if one could see Voltrex's stars from the large area granted the Great Library, they'd cover another angle altogether... and if not, could ask, as well as check Andrew's library requests at the same time. Prophecies? Previous star movements? Great Library.

"Best employees ever!" "Eh."

If time remained after the journey to Blackford, they could always try for another - but best to get the vastly different areas of the map covered, first.

Title: Foresta travels south from
Post by: mixafix on October 10, 2014, 08:06:59 am

Foresta travels south from Center in various flying forms always seeking news from other flyers that might be relevant. Such an encounter led her to follow two would be adventuring types to a wizards tower by the Thorn River. (Grogmegor and Sahala)  She took an appropriate form of Dark Elf and joined the exploration. This may turn out to be the first real clue she has since concluded. Their journey into a Library there, almost as vast as the famous Great library, was avidly defended by all manner of traps and animated books. learning anything was made most difficult and it was undoubtedly designed to prevent those seeking knowledge and enlightenment. Eventually they found a Druid like staff which Grogmegor (or mes' as he liked to be called !) retained. Foresta was hardly surprised that all this attention by the stars of Dieties should revolve around something Druidic and assumes they have found a serious clue. maybe the only one so far. She apologieses for not making the meeting set by the bard but as you can see now she has a good excuse and hopes that the bard will report on that meeting later. (time for these are way too late for me I'm afraid)

Title: Foresta remains proactively
Post by: mixafix on October 12, 2014, 04:59:41 am

Foresta remains proactively passive; seeking answers from nature's changes, clues from passing wildlife. She draws information from passing travellers too. One such encounter sticks in her mind, a Rofie Priest, Daniel Poetr, praying devoutly seeking understanding from a god and clergy that remain silent, significant I'm not so certain either way. He was out in the desert scraping a huge collection of fine sand. It is a fine thing if our finest minds have been reduced to reading the signs in the sands! I must do more, I think I am almost certain it is time to visit the forbidden Islands. There where the movements of the gods were once interpreted. Maybe there under the stars there may be enlightenment, or not oh I'm not sure if the time is right yet.

Title: As soon as the meeting in
Post by: Serissa on October 12, 2014, 04:01:19 pm

As soon as the meeting in Stormcrest Crossing was over, Katelyn headed for Fort Vehl.  For adequate coin, she was sure she could get a boat from there to Mariners Hold.  After all, anything can be had in Vehl for the right price.  Plus, she could promise Deliar's luck to the crew.  Once in Mariners Hold, she'd use the same techniques to hire a coastal vessel to Lan's Port.  Her plan was to consult the scholars and navigators who manned the telescope on the high cliff there.  Surely one or more of them would know if there was any significance to the location of the new star dance in the sky.  What had been there before?  What had been near?  What was under it -- water, or land and if so, what land?  Did it move at all?

Title: *Letter To Andrew delivered

*Letter To Andrew delivered by those amazing messenger birds*

Dear friend Andrew..

Missed you at Stormcrest. I was at the Deliar temple in Port Hempstead which took many hours just to see the priestess there. Not my original destination...but not giving up.

The Deliarites are generally happy that Deliar and Prunilla "Dance together" as they put it and to them it seems Deliar is pleased with his faithful. That's all they told me about the stars.

Ferrit and I are trying to get to Erylin to see the Shindelarians. Difficult...since the ships here are reluctant to leave port. Unless you have a different plan...that's where we are going. We will get together soon.

May the Muse inspire you,

Kyle

//PM coming soon

A tiny brownie in a red dress looks out the window from the kitchen amidst the smell of  roasted venison and baked pies with a worried look.  Considering the implications of Prunilla's Constellation wandering away from Deliar's in the sky, she contemplates the implications of how this might might affect their happy marriage.  She says a silent prayer over a tray of cooling cupcakes for them to resolve their issues and rekindle their relationship before serving her delicious delicacies to the hungry people of the taverns and needy homeless people in the streets outside.
