As of February 2008, the action is in the [[Ensigerum village]], where [[Imperatrix]] [[Anita]] is in the middle of a mind-bogglingly risky sparring bout with [[Ian Samael | Ian]].  This came about after he'd decided to cooperate with her in a crusade against the [[elf | elves]], and then interpreted her offer of a [[duel]] -- "you want to have a go at it?" -- in a slightly ... ''different'' ... way than Anita really intended.  All was clarified, Anita landed some (pulled) punches on him, he flew off the magical handle and threw her into a wall, she's scolding him for losing control, and there the matter rests.

As of March 2008, [[Sarine Elle | Sarine]], [[Jon Amraphel | Jon]] and [[Sara Amraphel | Sara]] are "guests" of the [[elf | elves]] in [[Praenubilus Astu]], where they're confined to a [[Consulate]] building of unknown history but with a great view of the [[Great Statue of Anilis]].  Sarine's friend [[Misa]] dropped by to see if the rumors about [[human]]s in the Skyless City were true, and was delighted to learn that not only are there humans there, they're with Sarine and include an [[Ensigerum]] monk -- a ''female'' one at that, which apparently is unprecedented (at least Misa is mightily impressed).  Now Misa has been recruited to run a few errands for Sarine, who can't leave the consulate and has a bunch of elves mad at her for disabling the [[scrying]] devices that they wouldn't admit were there.  One of the errands was to get a note surreptitiously to [[Meji Hinadori | Meji]], who's still locked up with [[Ellis]] somewhere in the city.  Another was to cadge together an Ensigerum "uniform" of a sort for Sara, for purposes that we don't know yet.  Finally, she picked up a case of [[Inanire 312]] anti-magical hand grenades for Sarine, although it turns out that the case is nearly empty -- having just enough 312s inside to offer great prospects of dramatic tension later on.  So it's fair to say that Misa has been pretty busy lately.

Meanwhile, back in the [[Elven Territories]], [[Sarine Elle | Sarine]] has artfully talked her way out of serious trouble (for the Amraphels as well as herself) after being intercepted by a patrol under the command of the officious [[Rhee]], a possible [[peregin]].  A very slight tweaking of the truth has gained her, [[Jon Amraphel | Jon]] and [[Sara Amraphel | Sara]] an (unwanted) armed escort to a safe house in [[Praenubilus Astu]] -- not ''her'' house, which she would have preferred, but you can't have everything.  En route to this turn of events, Sara got to show off her [[time-ninja]] skillz by breaking the nose of one unsuspecting elf (Rhee) and the arm of another one, and also to pose an agrammatical but entirely comprehensible and menacing challenge in the elvish language.  (This made something of an impression on the elves, who'd been treating her with dangerously ignorant contempt -- it's not a good idea to call someone a "cow" if they can vivisect you in milliseconds.)  Of course, the puffed-up elves had it coming, but Sarine has shown what a sweetheart she is at heart by [[healing]] their injuries while a [[Viradior]] in the patrol was off getting orders from the elven high command.  This band was last seen heading into the skyless city, to coin a phrase, while Sarine fusses about how this way of getting in was exactly what she was trying to avoid.  Once again, that's just the way she is.  At least she got the satisfaction of facing down the Viradior guy who went to get the orders from high command, which apparently doesn't happen every day -- the Viradior were apparently a lot tougher in the Good Old Days.

Nothing new of the outside world, including the [[Ensigerum village]], where [[Anita]] and [[Ian Samael | Ian]] are continuing to plot death and destruction against the elves, no doubt.  There's also no news from [[Tsuirakushiti]]; quite possibly [[Miyo Hinadori | Meji's mom]] hasn't sobered up enough yet to even realize that Meji has been Errant-napped.

Of [[Meji Hinadori | Meji]] and [[Ellis]], no news, so they're presumably still singing the jailhouse blues -- off key, no doubt.

As of March 2008, Sarine, Jon and Sara are "guests" of the elves in Praenubilus Astu, where they're confined to a Consulate building of unknown history but with a great view of the Great Statue of Anilis. Sarine's friend Misa dropped by to see if the rumors about humans in the Skyless City were true, and was delighted to learn that not only are there humans there, they're with Sarine and include an Ensigerum monk -- a female one at that, which apparently is unprecedented (at least Misa is mightily impressed). Now Misa has been recruited to run a few errands for Sarine, who can't leave the consulate and has a bunch of elves mad at her for disabling the scrying devices that they wouldn't admit were there. One of the errands was to get a note surreptitiously to Meji, who's still locked up with Ellis somewhere in the city. Another was to cadge together an Ensigerum "uniform" of a sort for Sara, for purposes that we don't know yet. Finally, she picked up a case of Inanire 312 anti-magical hand grenades for Sarine, although it turns out that the case is nearly empty -- having just enough 312s inside to offer great prospects of dramatic tension later on. So it's fair to say that Misa has been pretty busy lately.

Nothing new of the outside world, including the Ensigerum village, where Anita and Ian are continuing to plot death and destruction against the elves, no doubt. There's also no news from Tsuirakushiti; quite possibly Meji's mom hasn't sobered up enough yet to even realize that Meji has been Errant-napped.
