It seemed as bright as day, the #auroralight in colorful ribbons in the sky. The children clapped their hands and the adults toasted the sky gods with warmed wine.
The heavens smiled in benevolence. Nothing could shatter this winter peace, at least for a little while.

of a life where
it seems nothing
will change
a silent rebellion
bit by bit
a little part here
a tiny adjustment there
while you keep the
illusion of
the status quo.

OK, had two Postmoogle Quests in a row that take place in Gridania and let me say that those quests just confirm that Gridania is more f'ed up than I had thought. 😲😑😠 I did them on Morroyo, but not on Lewin. Let's just say those have lore implications for Lewin and his history with the Quiver Bow. 😐
