    Summary

    Madam Faruzan. There is something I would like to show you, if you have an afternoon free. Meet me at the east gate at second bell? I will bring snacks! — N

    Faruzan read it twice. She set it on her desk. She looked at her manuscript. She looked at the mechanism, which had, in a development she was choosing to interpret as coincidental rather than symbolic, defeated her again this morning on what she had believed was the final calibration step. She looked at the note again.

    She spent two hours not thinking about it during which she accomplished nothing useful and knocked over one of the inkwells.

    She was at the east gate at second bell.

    Summary

    “You know,” he begins, voice a deep rumbling whisper that has Flins frown a little and lean in, as if to hear a conspiracy. “The human body is conveniently warm-blooded at a toasty 37 degrees at all times—mostly. It has plenty of cavities and hollow places, especially for the uh, less physical. The ribcage, lungs,” he goes on as he raises his hand to rub a circle in the middle of his chest, then presses his palm fully against it. His eyes trail over to stare at Flins’ lantern for a long moment. Flins, though, stares at Illuga’s eyes and is mesmerized at the reflection of flickering flames on the blue, like lapping of the waves on the shore. “The heart chambers.”

    “Young Master,” is punched out of him, and his breath is stolen from the lungs he doesn’t need as if spinning a yarn back on the clew.

    Summary

    Brought to you by autism and special interest, and ordered into something that might loosely be categorized as 'chronological,' I present to you: Illuflins, but I am incapable of not including more fae lore than what's considered healthy.

    (Featuring Old Norse linguistic shenanigans, funded by yours truly.)

    Summary

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON NOD-KRAIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
    Presented by the Sumeru Akademiya Press, Department of Historical Ethnography
    Volume XII, Issue 3—"The Lightkeepers: Myth, Memory, and the Long Night"

    Selected papers, recovered correspondence, and transcribed artifacts presented at the Third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage, held at the Akademiya Grand Lecture Hall, Sumeru City. Compiled and edited by Dr. Vireshka Dastur, Chair of Northern Teyvatian Studies.

    Editor's Note:
    The Lightkeepers of Nod-Krai remain one of the most enduring and least understood institutions in Teyvatian history.
    This volume collects several papers and primary source materials presented at the third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage. Of particular interest is the ongoing scholarly debate surrounding "Ratnik Flins," whose historical existence remains hotly contented and whose relationship with the better-documented Starshyna Illuga Nikitovich continues to generate discussion in fields ranging from military history to folklore studies.

    We trust our readers will find much to consider.

    Flins and Illuga's footprints in Teyvatian history.
