I have no problems with another cavalry specialist and would be delighted if you included either Gideon or Derfel. I think either character would add a new perspective to the politics in and around Voltas, but you are free to insert material regarding the happenings within urban cities surrounding Voltas. 

Regarding writing styles, I don't mind a first person view, so long as it's confined to journal entries, otherwise; for now, I'd like to request if you could keep everything in third person. I do appreciate the request though and in the future, there might be possibilities for further perspective explorations so first person posts are not entirely out of the picture!
