The God Emperor’s Gambit Isaiah had paced the length of the Pretty Room four hundred and twelve times. He knew this because counting was the only thing keeping his mind from fracturing into a thousand sharp, jagged pieces. The room was beautiful, in a terrifying, alien sort of way. The walls were not built so much as grown, curving upward in smooth, pearlescent arcs that pulsed with a slow, rhythmic bioluminescence. It reminded him of the inside of an oyster shell, if the oys

Stephen continues to grow as a Mæster, he gets better as a doctor as the series goes on, much to Ashot's amazement (who is wholly enraptured with his little Doctore)

I am not sure, I don't think Rashid would have cut Ishan, that seems entirely provoked by his recognizing that Ishan was Wylan. This does present opportunity to Rashid, and leverage (or so he believes) But Wylan is not someone who has ever let himself be manipulated or bullied into anything. Not even Darien could get away with that.
-
I do appreciate the call back to Lloyd's Sæx lesson on the ship. Instead of being intimidated, Wylan's instinct was to do exactly what he was taught to do, and equalized the situation.
-
Rashid has used this leverage over Ishan his entire life. But Wylan is not Ishan.

Darien refuses to become what Radoslav has become. The men see this, the men of the Vanguard know who their Commander is.

Welcome to the coffee club!!!! we have cookies

good morning Wylan is lost in the land of sights and wonder. Rashid is waiting, the spider spinning his web.

The sun was setting over the coastal road when Darien saw the green silk awnings. They had been tracking the caravan since midday, following the deep ruts cut by wagon wheels, the trampled grass where horses had been watered, the scattered debris of a column that had been moving too fast and did not think anyone was watching. The Emir Ridwan's supply train was making for the southern gates of Antioch, rushing to beat the winter storms that would close the passes for good. They were heavily

I think I called up a random Turkish name list, and it was on that. Khalid was a character I used to play in an RPG years ago, my evil one... great hit... Romulan with a fondness for explosives... and Rashid was that right in the middle of something I heard once and also on the same list as Ishan. Kalijj Arslan's actual son was named Malik Shah, but Fadil flowed Prince Ishan ibn Fadil, ibn Arslan al'Kalijj. It's got a poetic ring to it, almost musical which fit our Prince.

You made me think of this song, from nightclubbing in Brighton in the 90's

You know Gremlin's going to find a can opener.
-
You *know* Gremlin is in the vents with a camcorder.
-
You know Isaiah is going to have to sit on Mickey, while Dimitri steals the paint brush and flushes it out the airlock. Of course you know Gremlin is going to sit with popcorn and scream about kicking the mean captain a few times.

Colonel, sir! 07

Because Mickey's last talk to them plan went soooo well

For those that are interested, my son, Jacob, designed that. He's always been fascinated with the Amsus tech. His nickname for it is "The Super Raptor"

You ALL know he's renaming the Havana VEGA VIXEN 5 I mean, it's him after all.

The Spire of Silence The Gremlin had been waiting for three days. Not patiently. Gremlins were not patient. But effectively. There was a difference. It knew every vent. Every junction. Every place where the walls pulsed with that sickly blue light and the floor hummed with the footsteps of guards who never looked up. It had mapped the spire in its head—not with coordinates or labels, but with *sensations*. This corridor smelled like rust. This junction tasted like ozone. This ven

Julian is the most perceptive of the group. A trait he keeps through what's to come. Next up "Making new friends and how to find them, with rope, a cudgel, and a whole lot of coercion!"

Good morning

The morning after the earthquake was the color of old bone. Julian stood at the entrance of the Vanguard's tent, his arms crossed against the cold, and watched the camp try to remember how to be a camp. Men were still digging, still pulling supplies from collapsed tents, still counting the dead. The sky had faded from red to gray, the aurora gone as if it had never been, and the only color left in the world was the brown of mud and the white of frost and the pale, bloodless light of a winte

Yes teleportation is very limited. The Polians and Gorean have the technology which is stolen/ancient Peligian tech. They lend a set to the Amsus, who lose it to Darien Taine. The Kule used a GIANT set to send their planet to Peligia which resulted in the entire race of Kule being wiped from existence. Sephradon and Prince Edward (the BIG IE) have Peligian blood root running through them to near epic levels, causing them to have the same ability. Sephradon less so than Ed who is a Luck God Dammit!
