First of all, [@One Who Tames], welcome to the Guild! I'm honored that mine would be among the first threads to pique your interest. And it's a great time to be testing the waters; [url=https://discord.gg/dRE3xav]fortune favors the prepared[/url].

(And sorry that the italics didn't work for you. I decided that I needed more than a cool image of an Achaemenid bas-relief to signify that I was switching from an IC epistolary to an OOC summary of events, so I styled it like a flashback of sorts.)

[@Lady Selune] I look forward to reading it over lunch. I trust there won't be any problems what with the great brainstorming that has gone on already, but if there are then you'll receive my thoughts via PM.
