As of 7 August 2009, the action, and there's plenty of it, is somewhere in the Far North, where an elven party under nasty High Commander Yenhael is trying to get to the whatever-it-is containing the slumbering Senilis. They have coerced Jon into trying to help them defeat the wards set up to keep elves out (one unnamed human already having been blown away by a Gatling gun in the attempt), using threats to Meji and Sarine as leverage. Thus far this hasn't gone smoothly, as Jon has passed a barrier that however did real damage to one of his elven captors. (Serves him right, say we.) Presumably there'll be some more action on this front over the next month.

Meanwhile, somewhere near the Ensigerum village, Ianilis, Anita and Paul have interrupted what appears to be a ceremonial execution of a troll. Their purpose in doing this is obviously to follow through on Paul's sarcastic comment about looking for allies among the trolls, but that isn't going well either: the chieftess of the trolls has figured out that Ian is nobody they want to do business with, indeed is a "Marime" (as Ian himself has stupidly confirmed) and therefore a dangerous, chaotic and generally cursed being, to be avoided rather than allied with. However, Ian's attempt at necromancy on the executed troll has worked a little better than it did when he tried it on his sister ... and that has given him an idea.

Of the Tsuirakuans currently winging their way toward the Far North via long-range airship, no recent news, but it can be predicted with pretty high confidence that their time is coming.
