[@CollectorOfMyst] Love it!  Haha, she does indeed mean more than just that it's literally dirty, but really she'd say the same of anywhere iwth people.  ^.^;

Out of curiosity, has Oren been to Iddin-Mar before?  And do we have any idea why he invited Ziotea and not anyone else (or maybe they just declined to come).

[@Lovejoy] I feel like this might make it your turn.  If you're not writing things for the Lanostran group, that is.

Speaking of!  Time zones?  I'm EST, and should /probably/ go to bed soonish, but I don't actually have to be up until noon tomorrow and it's only 3:30 am now, so I can get away with another hour or two.
