A Routine Inspection (38)
Oct 28, 2019
Prince Meled is having human resource issues.
A note on language: "bloody" is a very strange intensifier. Nobody can seem to agree on just how inappropriate it is, really (if you're from a country where it's seriously offensive, I apologize). On top of that, we don't seem to know where it comes from. Is it a euphemistic blasphemy? Is it the Dutch "bloote", meaning "fully, entirely"? Is it from "drunk as a blood (i.e. as a noble)"?
In the context of the Uncharred, however, "bloody" is just that - bloody. Local cultures tend to have a system of values that is slightly different from the one we're used to, so terminology related to violence, death and decay constitutes a major part of the local obscenities. "Bloody" fits neatly into that category.

Unknown assassins hound the steps of Marshal Arehyr Deguisay, the supreme commander of the Halcian Republic. As the attack gets blamed on the neighbouring kingdom of Bereg and the senate cries for vengeance, Deguisay's surviving adjutants struggle to uncover the real enemy. Wish them luck, because nothing in Halcian high politics is what it seems - including, perhaps, Deguisay himself.
Meanwhile in Bereg, a court seer needs no magic to foresee a war her people can't possibly win…
