Podcasts about Laurana

While the Sturm and Derek's feud comes to a boiling point, Tas explores the bizarre architecture of the High Clerist's Tower. What are all these rooms and gates? Why was it built this way? What secret lies at its long neglected heart? Rest assured Tas will find out! Derek makes a bold claim and an even bolder action. Sturm abandons the Measure. The Knights, minus Sturm and his men, venture forth to confront the dragonarmies, with Derek confident of his victory and glory. Sturm urges Laurana to take others and flee. The knights are doomed if they do not get support from Palanthas or some other place. Laurana refuses, her place is with her friends here. Tas reveals what he found in the tower, Laurana thinks it might just save them all. This knowledge comes too late to save Derek and the knights who took to the field.

Tanis and Kitiara get close, real close, and catch up. Kitiara spills the beans on Takhisis' goals and urges Tanis to join her in fulfilling them. Tanis disappoints everyone with his decision. Meanwhile, Sturm's elevation to full knighthood drives Derek Crownguard insane and completely shatters whatever semblance of unity the Knights of Solamnia at the High Clerist's Tower had. This makes an already bad situation worse as the Knights aren't really wanted by anyone in Palanthas. Laurana has brought the dragonlances to the Knights but most of the soldiers and knights don't think they'll be of any use, as they're badly outnumbered and low on food. The Dragon army surrounding the tower seems content to starve the knights out… Content warning - Discussion of consensual sex You can find us at: Jonathon - https://bsky.app/profile/falselogic.bsky.social Shivam - https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social Casual Magic w/ Shivam Bhatt - https://casualmagic.libsyn.com/ Shivam & Wheeler Love Magic - https://sites.libsyn.com/460224 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147877956611082 Discord - https://discord.gg/MM7nEwgmZv We now have a Patreon for those who want to support the podcast!

Podcast Summary - After the events of the Whitestone Council, Laurana and friends try to decide what their next steps are. Laurana would prefer not to lead but her commitment to her friends overcomes any desires she has to find Tanis. We learn her testimony has cleared Sturm and he will become instituted as a full knight. Laurana will travel to Palanthas to relay this information directly to him and advanced Lord Gunther's plans. Fizban provides some final guidance to Tas. Elistan meets his maker? On the other side of the world Tanis and Caramon steal some enemy uniforms in order to secure passage for them and the rest of the Companions out of Flotsam. Then, while trying to purchase supplies for their sea voyage Tanis is nearly killed by a grief-crazed elf. Only to be rescued by a Dragonlord, who just so happens to be a dear old friend?!

1982. Franco, sedicenne tarantino, figlio di un operaio dell'Italsider, grazie a una borsa di studio trascorre una settimana a Roma per intervistare Eduardo De Filippo. Quei giorni memorabili influiranno sulla maturazione del ragazzo, accompagnandolo attraverso gli snodi più importanti della vita, dalle scelte lavorative ai tormenti sentimentali, dalla scoperta dei segreti della propria famiglia alle lotte in difesa della salute e dell'ambiente. Un'appassionante storia di formazione che celebra la magia del teatro e proietta fino ai nostri giorni la luminosa lezione di Eduardo.

Silvara, under increasing suspicion, leads Laurana's group deeper into the mountains of Southern Ergoth. Their goal? The secret vale of Foghaven, known only to Silvara's people. The party arrives there under the light of Luminari to this fog laden valley. To reach their destination the party must cross a strange, massive bridge over boiling hot springs. When they finally do, Silvara leads them to Huma's tomb resting under the shadow of a giant dragon carved into a mountain!? Just as some of the party come to startling realizations they fall prey to a spell… Content warning - swears in the bonus segment You can also find us at:  Jonathon - https://bsky.app/profile/falselogic.bsky.social Shivam - https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social Casual Magic w/ Shivam Bhatt - https://casualmagic.libsyn.com/ Shivam & Wheeler Love Magic - https://sites.libsyn.com/460224 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147877956611082 Discord - https://discord.gg/MM7nEwgmZv We now have a Patreon for those who want to support the podcast!

Shivam was at this year's GenCon for Dragonlance's 40th birthday! He talks about what happened at the convention and what is coming for Dragonlance fans. Then we get back to Dragons of Winter Nights. Silvara leads Laurana's group up the river until they can travel by water no longer. Gilthanas and Silvara learn something about each other under the moonlight. The reader also learns some things about Silvara. They all learn the Kagonesti will not offer any support to them. The Wild Elves believe it was Laurana and company who brought the draconians to their island. They flee by foot into the mountains. Laurana's suspicions of Silvara grow. They are pursued. Silvara convinces them to split the party. Derek and Sturm take the dragon orb and head to Sancrist. Silvara leads the rest away to draw off their pursuers. Everyone's suspicions of Silvara grow.

Laurana and Gilthanas are reunited with their family. It goes poorly, especially for Laurana. The rest of the party are prisoners in everything but name. The Elves decide they will be keeping the Dragon Orb. Laurana decides staying with her family is not an option. So, with the help of Silvara and Theros (the blacksmith from Solace who we are reintroduced to here) Laurana and company immediately flee into the wilderness with the Dragon Orb. On the way we learn an old folktale about Huma, and Laurana becomes ever more suspicious of Silvara, and the Kagonesti in general.

We connect back up with Laurana's group as they return from their successful outing to Icewall. Aboard a ship bound for Sancrist with a Dragon Orb in their possession. Their trip is interrupted by a dragon. We learn a lot about white dragons, much of it uncomplimentary. Lucky for the Companions, white dragons are bad at their job! So, while it ends in a shipwreck almost no one is hurt. Stranded on Southern Ergoth, Laurana and company are quickly picked up by Elves. Which should be good news, but all is not well in the Elvish world. In fact, it appears things are very bad! Three races of elves, all of them hating each other just a little less than they hate everyone else. This is sure to go great!

Tanis and friends wake up from their nightmare only to find that the awful dream has an all too real effect on Silvanesti and its king, Lorac. The once beautiful Elven home now resembles the nightmare with twisted, bleeding trees and animals, the Tower of the Stars looks more like a melted candle than anything else. King Lorac reveals how all this came to be and dies. Alhana vows that she, and her people, will heal this forest as penance for their pride. Half a continent away Laurana and the rest of the Companions wake up from their shared dream, shudder, and wonder what all it could mean. Raistlin claims the Dragon Orb. Plans are made for the future.  You can find us at: Jonathon - https://bsky.app/profile/falselogic.bsky.social Shivam - https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147877956611082 Discord - https://discord.gg/MM7nEwgmZv We now have a Patreon for those who want to support the podcast!

Tanis and his half of the Companions experience the hatred of the people of Tarsis, lose Tas, and meet the leadership of the city, which isn't much better than the mob. Their own judgment is interrupted when another elf is presented, the princess of the Silvanesti elves, Alhana Starbreeze. Raistlin and Laurana get to know each other and the reader learns about the Family Majere. On the way to prison Tanis and friends meet actual Solamnic Knights, learn Sturm isn't one, and find Tas.  We learn a little bit more about Alhana and the Silvanesti Elves. They've fared about as well as everyone else has it seems. We would learn more about Dragon Orbs too, if it wasn't for those pesky dragons who decide now is the best time to invade, really just destroy Tarsis.

MILANO (ITALPRESS) - "Nel calcio di oggi ci sono giocatori straordinari, che hanno delle qualità atletiche impressionanti: mi riferisco a Mbappè e Haaland, due giocatori che mi piacciono moltissimo". Lo ha detto Beppe Bergomi, ex difensore dell'Inter e della Nazionale, ospite a Milano dell'hub culturale de 'La Ragione', all'interno del California Bakery Garden & Lounge, per raccontare insieme all'autore Lapo De Carlo il libro “Ogni singolo istante” (Laurana editore). "Sono due giocatori diversi ma con una fisicità incredibile - ha aggiunto il campione del mondo di Spagna 1982, ora commentatore a Sky - Uno (Haaland, ndr) è un ragazzo di 1,90 forte fisicamente e migliorato tecnicamente, l'altro (Mbappè, ndr) è da uno contro uno, con una velocità ed una tecnica impressionate, e un controllo di palla che mi ricorda, per come sta in campo, Ronaldo il Fenomeno".mc/gm/gtr(Fonte video: La Ragione)

While Tanis and the majority of the Companions conspire with the slaves of Pax Tharkas Tas and Fizban explore its secrets. Taz learns, and then forgets, the truth of Dragonlances. Laurana converts one high seeker to the old faith with a parable. Tas and Fizban learn who the traitor is. Tanis wishes he knew, as everyone who could possibly be the traitor is suddenly not where they are supposed to be! Despite everything the plan to free the slaves moves forward. Tas and Fizban save Sestun only to reveal themselves to Verminaard and Ember. The three flee with the dragon in pursuit. The dragon is wrecking the fort as he pursues them. That giant chain is broken,that ancient cog starts moving. Fizban, Tas, and Sestun fall into darkness...

We learn all about the history between Tanis & Laurana, how it lead to Tanis fleeing his home, and going out into the world. The plans of the Qualinesti Elves are revealed and we learn the role the Companions must play to enure the Elves' future. In order for the Elves to escape successfully, the Companions will have to sneak into Pax Tharkas and free the enslaved humans there, drawing the attention of Verminaard and a draconian army away from the fleeing elves.  The Companions have the time honored D&D argument over splitting up the party, ultimately deciding, against Tanis' wishes, to stay together. Doubts grow about Gilthanas, who will lead them on their journey to Pax Tharkas. Tanis tells Laurana she must grow up and find a reason to live and fight for.

In this episode Jonathon and Shivam follow the Companions as Fewmaster Toede leads them towards Pax Tharkas. Tas makes a new friend, Toede's servant, Sestun the gully dwarf. We learn from Fizban that dragonlances and Huma were real. The slave caravan is ambushed by an Elvish party, all the prisoners are freed. We meet Gilthanas' brother and see again the tension that exist between the races of Krynn. Companions are lead to elvish city of Qualinost where they meet the the leader of the Elves and Tanis' surrogate father. We also learn that the elves are leaving their home. The Elves are shocked by the return of the Gods and finally we meet one of Tanis' loves, Laurana.  Quite the action packed chapters!

Paolo Panzacchi"Fantasmi"Clown Bianco Edizionihttps://www.clownbianco.com/Fantasmi è un romanzo sulle seconde occasioni, che racconta le vicende di chi riesce a coglierle, di chi cerca di farlo e di chi, rinunciando a vivere, non ne è capace.

Oggi, Giulio ha trentacinque anni, ma la sua vita e le sue scelte, la sua stessa quotidianità sono ancora segnate da quella tragedia e dalla sensazione, sempre più ingombrante, di vivere una vita scelta per lui da altri. Il malessere viene tenuto a bada con l'abuso di alcol e di farmaci, ma una sera, dopo un concerto organizzato per ricordare Mario a quindici anni dalla sua scomparsa, Giulio incontra Greta.

Today I'm very happy to be publishing a conversation with one of my dearest friends that I met whilst we were both pursuing our Master's Degrees at Arizona State University. Laurana Wheeler Roderer is a violinist and librettist and is now pursuing a Doctorate of Musical Arts. Laurana has particularly fascinating projects centered on the subject of environmental consciousness and social activism. I love Laurana dearly and find myself in awe of her ideas, her unique story, and marvelously creative talents. Laurana is one of the great artists I've met in my life who embodies her “why” so beautifully in everything she executes. Listen in as we both unmask our vulnerabilities and find strength in the empowering endeavor of musical creations. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anna-summers/support

If you are the owner of a human body, then this episode is for you; especially if you are someone who suffers from chronic pain or, as today's guest puts it, if you are someone who experiences ‘intense sensations' in your body. In this episode, skilled reiki master, healer, yogini, and mentor, Laurana Kuhlman, explains how our bodies and the sensations that we experience are messengers. Laurana works with those seeking to expand their knowledge of self and believes deeply that self-care is for everyone. Operating under the philosophy that there are many paths to healing, she serves her clients at the mind, body, and spirit levels. She gives those who experience chronic pain new language to support their experience of healing. We also delve into specifics during the course of our conversation and explore what certain sensations in certain parts of the body might mean. For example, what does a painful sensation in your right knee have to tell you on an energetic, spiritual, and emotional level? Laurana leaves us with the words: be kind, keep going, Om shanti. Tune in today to expand your thinking about the sensations you experience and how certain emotions can manifest in your body. Key Points From This Episode: Laurana shares her personal experience with chronic pain and her journey toward healing. The difference between embodying your chronic pain and experiencing intense sensations. The commonalities of pain that Laurana has identified and how she blends Western medicine with Eastern wisdom and philosophies. Specific sensations and what they might mean; pairing chakra systems with the 12 meridians. What pain in your right knee might signify, such as inflexibility in a masculine relationship. Discover how Laurana works through intense sensations and their deeper meanings. First steps for addressing chronic pain and cultivating a relationship with that sensation. Laurana highlights the importance of journaling; how to make lists until you see the pattern. Learn about the various benefits of propping your legs up against the wall daily. Find out why Laurana believes that pain always has a message; learn how to listen. How you don't need to experience pain for your body to communicate with you. The importance of pausing and connecting with your inherent wisdom. The role that unaddressed emotions play and how they can manifest physically. What the word miracle means to Laurana; the magic of having a body and inhabiting it.

Fausto Vitaliano"La sabbia brucia"Bompiani Editorehttps://www.bompiani.it/Gori Misticò è un carabiniere in prima linea. Lavora a Milano, è impegnato in una delicata operazione antiterrorismo. Ma improvvisamente qualcosa va storto, ed eccolo seduto nello scompartimento di un treno diretto in Calabria, con un biglietto di sola andata. Julia non è nemmeno venuta a salutarlo. Forse il commissario spera che tornare a San Telesforo Jonico, dove è cresciuto, significhi trascorrere le giornate leggendo Topolino in un ufficio deserto e pranzando in riva al mare. Ma dovrà imparare che per quanto tu fugga, i ricordi ti inseguono. Che più ti ostini a ignorarli, più i sintomi si fanno fastidiosi. E che la sabbia finissima della spiaggia del Pàparo, sotto il sole della Calabria, brucia più dell'alcol su una ferita. In queste pagine piene di humour e di umanità torna Gori Misticò, il carabiniere in lotta contro la malattia e la malinconia. Dovrà indagare su un'“ape regina” in cerca del fuco da amare e divorare ma soprattutto su se stesso. Al commissariato di San Telesforo l'estate si annuncia rovente.Fausto Vitaliano è nato in Calabria ma vive pressoché da sempre a Milano. Sceneggia fumetti e cartoni animati per Disney e Rainbow.

Flavio Villani"La banda degli uomini"Neri Pozzahttps://neripozza.it/Questo romanzo ha la scrittura tenue delle lampadine da poche candele che si utilizzavano negli anni Trenta. Dove il termine tenue vuole dire ombre, vaghe certezze, il mistero del silenzio quando la sera imbrunisce. È ambientato durante il fascismo, in un regime che in queste pagine è una seccatura, una parata inutile: per tutti, anche per i gerarchi in divisa.In un quadrilatero della vecchia Milano operaia, tra via Porpora e Lambrate, un uomo, un anarchico con il vizio dell'alcol, che si è perduto nonostante figli e famiglia, muore apparentemente per cause naturali. Ma per uno dei figli la versione ufficiale non regge. E comincia a indagare, aiutato dal fratello, da alcuni amici e da un meccanico ebreo.Ne esce un racconto che ha il giallo come pretesto ma che è la magistrale narrazione di un'epoca di mezze tinte, di espedienti e di furbizie, di antagonismi e di invidie, di opere d'arte importanti e collezionisti senza scrupoli, di opportunisti con la vocazione al fallimento, attratti dalla rovina come fosse una fosca forma di successo. Un mondo che sfocerà nel dramma della seconda guerra mondiale, ma senza clamori, come una fredda necessità della storia. Con lentezza, senza alzare la voce, con moderazione e misura, Flavio Villani si muove nella ruvidezza delle malinconie, descrivendo esistenze impaurite e ipocrite, senza valore e senza morale, che non ambiscono neppure alla forza, alla retorica della disperazione.La banda degli uomini è un libro intenso, che indaga personaggi capaci di lasciarci addosso anche il ritmo del loro respiro. E alla fine sapremo quello che è accaduto, ma soprattutto capiremo un po' di più di ciò che siamo e avremmo potuto essere. Un libro sottile e godibile che non rinuncia mai a farsi letteratura.Flavio Villani è nato a Milano nel 1962. Neurologo, ha lavorato negli Stati Uniti come ricercatore nel settore della neurofisiologia. Come scrittore ha esordito con L'ordine di Babele (2013, Laurana). Il nome del padre (Neri Pozza 2017, BEAT 2018) è il suo primo romanzo poliziesco.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Fabio Guarnaccia"Mentre tutto cambia"Manni Editorihttps://www.mannieditori.it/Candidato al Premio Strega 2021 da Antonio PascaleL'estate del 1989 iniziò col Caballero di Paolino che saliva dalla prima alla terza nel breve tratto a due corsie di via Guanella, tra il bar all'angolo e casa mia, per poi scalare subito cupo. Quattro scoppi amplificati dai palazzi che mi scagliarono alla finestra dove lo vidi sfilare con il Best e Ivan che gli tenevano in coda con le loro bici. Quanto morivo dietro a quella moto, mi prendeva un'invidia da starci male: avrà avuto pure i problemi alla tiroide ma almeno aveva il Caballero.«C'è uno nella casetta», disse il Best, con quell'aria da adulto che mi faceva sentire indegno dei miei quattordici anni.«Che facciamo?», mi chiese Ivan.Erano in sella con le gambe divaricate, tese come i manici di uno schiaccianoci, in attesa di una mia risposta, come se avessi davvero potuto ritirare quella marea di curiosità e paura che li aveva già travolti, e che stava travolgendo anche me. È l'estate del 1989, il Vela e i suoi amici hanno 14 anni, si muovono ai margini di una città e di una generazione: non più bambini, adolescenti a stento, passano il tempo in una casetta diroccata vicino a una discarica nella periferia di Milano.In quel rifugio in cui possono fumare, sfogliare giornaletti e ascoltare musica, un giorno di giugno trovano un ragazzo morto di overdose. Hanno paura di perdere la loro tana, così decidono di nascondere il cadavere.Ma quella morte gli rimane attaccata addosso: è l'odore che sale dal campo abbandonato in cui hanno gettato il corpo, e il peso di un segreto così grande e del senso di colpa che non dà tregua.Il Vela passerà le vacanze ciondolando in casa, con un padre pieno di rabbia, una madre incupita persa dietro alle sue piccole abitudini, una nonna adorata con cui divide il divano letto; e bighellonando in giro, tra il luna park delle Varesine e i cantieri della città che cresce, assieme al Best, Paolino e Ivan, ognuno con il proprio mondo complicato e il proprio carico di inquietudini.La piccola banda si scontra con la pochezza degli adulti, con la prepotenza dei ragazzi più grandi e con una Milano che nell'incessante sviluppo urbanistico distruggerà l'unico posto in cui si sentono al sicuro.È la storia di quattro ragazzi colti nel momento più delicato della loro vita, e nel punto più delicato di una città.Fabio GuarnacciaÈ nato nel 1975, vive a Milano.Laureato in Filosofia, lavora in tv dove si occupa di analisi dei consumi culturali e di contenuti per l'intrattenimento e la fiction.

Con Jacopo Tondelli, giornalista e fondatore de Gli Stati Generali, ma più di ogni cosa scrittore e autore del romanzo “I giorni sbagliati” (Laurana Editore). Prendendo spunto dal suo romanzo, parliamo di illusione e disillusione, passione politica, amore per il giornalismo e 40enni che si guardano allo specchio. Ma anche di Milano e di Roma. Il potere, chi c'è l'ha, chi lo vorrebbe avere e chi crede di averlo. Una puntata strana. Forse un flusso di coscienza. Perché il suo libro fa pensare a molte cose e non tutte queste cose, apparentemente, possono avere un filo logico che le tiene assieme.

En este combo de La Convo/Review Dani está acompañado por su hermana de la vida, Laurana. Hablamos de la conroversia rodeando la historia de Anuel AA en Instagram, el video de Yo Perreo Sola y el primer EP review de Álvaro Díaz: Díaz Antes: La Ciudad De Los Niños Tristes.

Welcome to GlitterShip episode 13 for September 1st, 2015. This is your host Keffy, and I'm super excited to be sharing this story with you.We're back from our unfortunate hiatus, which was caused because it turns out that moving more than 3,000 miles away across the entire continent is a bit of an upheaval. But, I'm settling in over here in New York, now, and I'm a little more than a week into the first year of my five-in-theory-year program.Our story today is "Sugar" by Cat Rambo. Cat Rambo lives, writes, and teaches by the shores of an eagle-haunted lake in the Pacific Northwest. A prolific storywriter and Nebula and World Fantasy Award nominee, her publications include stories in Asimov's, Clarkesworld Magazine, and Tor.com.

For more about her, as well as links to her fiction, see http://www.kittywumpus.netSugarby Cat RamboThey line up before Laurana, forty baked-clay heads atop forty bodies built of metal cylinders.  Every year she casts and fires new heads to replace those lost to weather, the wild, or simple erosion.  She rarely replaces the metal bodies.  They are scuffed and battered, over a century old.Every morning, the island sun beating down on her pale scalp, she stands on the maison's porch with the golems before her.  Motionless.  Expressionless.She chants.  The music and the words fly into the clay heads and keep them thinking.  The golems are faster just after they have been charged.  They move more lightly, with more precision.  With more joy.  Without the daily chant they could go perhaps three days at most, depending on the heaviness of their labors.This month is cane-planting season.  She delegates the squads of laborers and sets some to carrying buckets from the spring to water the new cane shoots while others dig furrows.  The roof needs reshingling, but it can wait until planting season is past.  As the golems shuffle off, she pauses to water the flowering bushes along the front of the house.  Placing her fingertips together, she conjures a tiny rain cloud, wringing moisture from the air.  Warm drops collect on the leaves, rolling down to darken pink and gray bark to red and black.Inside the house is quiet.  The three servants are in the kitchen, cooking breakfast and gossiping.  She comes up to the doorway like a ghost, half fearing what she will hear.  Nothing but small, inconsequential things.  Jeanette says when she takes her freedom payment, she will ask for a barrel of rum, and go sell it in the street, three silver pieces a cup, over at Sant Tigres, the pirate city.  She has a year to go in the sorceress' service. Daniel has been here a year and has four more to go.  He is still getting used to the golems, still eyes them warily when he thinks no one can see him.  He is thin and wiry, and his face is pockmarked and scarred by the Flame Plague.  He was lucky to escape the Old Continent with his life.  Lucky to live here now, and he knows it.Tante Isabelle has been with her since the woman was thirteen.  Now she's eighty-five, frail as one of the butterflies that move through the bougainvillea.  A black beak's snap, and the butterfly will be gone.  She sits peeling cubes of ginger, which she will boil with sugar and lime juice to make sweet syrup that can flavor tea or conjured ice."If you sell rum, everyone will think you are selling what lies between your thighs as well!" she says, eying Jeanette.Jeanette shrugs and tosses her head. "Maybe I'd make even more that way!" she says, ignoring Daniel's blush.Tante Isabelle looks up to see Laurana standing there.  The old woman's smile is sweet as sunshine, sweet as sugar.  The sorceress stands in the doorway, and the three servants smile at her, as they always do, at their beautiful mistress.  No thought ever crosses their minds of betraying or displeasing her.  It never occurs to them to wonder why.Christina is a pirate.  She wears bright calicos stolen from Indian traders and works on a ship that travels in lazy shark-like loops around the Lesser and Greater Southern Isles, looking for strays from the treasure fleet and Duchy merchants.  The merchants, based in the southernmost New Continent port of Tabat, prey on the more impoverished colonies, taking their entire crops in return for food and tools.  The treasure fleet is part of a vast corrupt network, fed by springs of gold.  This is what Christina tells Laurana, how she justifies her profession of blood and watery death.When Christina comes to Sant Tigres, she goes to the inn and sends one of the pigeons the innkeeper keeps on the roof.  It flies to Laurana's window.  She leaves her maison and sails to the port in a small skiff, standing all the way from one island to the other, sea winds whipping around her.  She focuses her will and asks the air sylphs, who she normally does not converse with, to bear her to her lover's scarlet and orange clad arms.Tiny golden hoops, each set with a charm created by Laurana, are set in Christina's right ear.  One is a tiny glass fish, protection against drowning, and the other is a silver lightning bolt to ward off storms. Christina likes to order large meals when she comes ashore.  Her crew hunts the unsettled islands and catches the wild cattle and hogs so abundant there to eke out their income.  They sell the excess fat and hides to the smugglers that fill these islands.  So she is not meat-starved now, but wants sugary treats, confections of butter and sweet, washed down with raw swallows of rum, here in harbor, where she can be safely drunk."Pretty farmer," she says now.  She touches the sorceress's hair, which was black as Christina's once, but which has gone silver with age, despite her unlined skin and her clear, brilliant blue eyes."Pretty pirate," Laurana replies.  She spends the evening buying drinks for Christina and her crew.  The pirates count on her deep pockets, rich with gold from selling sugar.  Sometimes they try to sell her things plundered on their travels, ritual components, scrolls or trinkets laden with spells.  The only present Christina ever brought her was a waxed and knotted cord strung with knobby, pearly shells.  It hangs on her bedchamber wall where the full moon's light can polish it each month.Laurana brings Christina presents: fresh strawberries and fuzzy nectarines from her greenhouse.  In Sant Tigres, she trades sugar for bushels of chocolate beans and packets of spices.  Someday, when circumstances have changed, she would like Christina to spend a day or two at the plantation.  Jeannette would outdo herself with the meals, flakey pastries and flowers of spun sugar. It is time to send for a new cook, she thinks.  It will take a few months to post the message and then for the new arrival to appear, and even more time for Jeannette to train her in the ways of the kitchen and how to tell the golems to fetch and carry.Someone leans forward to ask her a question.  It is a new member of Christina's crew, curious about the rumors of her plantation."Human slaves are doomed to failure," she says. "Look what happened on Banbur – discontented servants burned the fields and overtook the town there, turning their masters and mistresses out into the underbrush or setting them to labor."And," she added. "Whites do badly in this climate.  I can take care of myself and my household, but it is easier to not worry about my automatons growing ill or dying."Although they did die, after a fashion.  They wore away, their features blurred with erosion.  They cracked and crumbled – first the noses, then the lips and brows, their eyes becoming pitted shadows, their molded hair a mottling of cracks.Time to redecorate soon, she thought.  She did it every few decades.  She would send a letter and eventually a company representative would show up, consult with her, and then vanish back to Tabat, soon replaced by rolls of new wallpaper and carpets, crates of china and porcelain wash basins.  She looks at Christina and pictures her against blue silk sheets, olive skin gleaming in candle glow.Later they fall into bed together and she stays there for two hours before she rises, despite her lover's muffled, sleepy protests, and takes her skiff back to her own island.  Overhead the sky is a black bowl set with glittering layers of stars, grainy as sandstone and striated with light.  Moonlight dapples the waves, so dark and impenetrable that they look like polished jet.At home, she goes upstairs.  A passage cuts across the house, running north to south to take advantage of the trade wind, and open squares at the top of each room partition let the wind through.  Britomart's is the northernmost room.The air smells of dawn and sugar.   Sugar, sweet and translucent as Britomart's skin, the color of snow drifts, laid on cool white linen.  The other woman's ivory hair, which matches Laurana's, is spread out across the pillow.Tonight her face is unmasked.  Laurana does not flinch away from the pitted eyes, the face more eroded than any golem's.  Outside in the courtyard, the black and white deathbirds hop up and down in the branches, making the crimson flowers shake in the early morning light."Pleasant trip?" Britomart says.Laurana's answer is noncommittal.  Sometimes her old lover is kind, but she is prone to lashing out in sudden anger.  Laurana does not blame her for that.  Her death is proving neither painless nor particularly short, but it is coming, nonetheless.  A month?  A year?  Longer?  Laurana isn't sure.  How long have they been locked in this conversation?  It has been less than six months so far, she knows, but it seems like forever.She goes to her room.  The bed is turned down and a hot brick has been slipped between the sheets to warm them.  A bouquet of ginger sits on the table near the lamp, sending out its bold perfume.She lies in bed and fails to sleep.  Britomart's face floats before her in the darkness.  She is unsure if she is dreaming or really seeing it.  She wonders if she remembers it as worse than it really is.  But she doesn't.Two weeks later, the pigeon at her window.Christina has a bandage around her upper arm, nothing much, she says, carelessness in a battle.  She pushes Laurana away, though apologetically.  Rather than sleep together, they stay awake and talk.  It is their first conversation of any length.  Two hours after their first meeting, in the Sant Tigres market, they had fallen into bed together, four months ago."So she's sick, your friend?" Christina says."You were raised here in the islands," Laurana answers.  "You don't know what it was like in the Old Country.  In the space of three years, sorcerers destroyed two continents.  Everyone decided to make their power play at once.  They called dragons up out of the earth and set them killing.  The Flame Plague moved from town to town.  Entire villages went up like candles.  Millions died, and the earth itself was charred and burned, magic stripped from it.  Some fought with elementals, and others with summoned winds and fogs, but others with poisoned magic."She pours herself more wine.  Christina's skin is paler than usual, but the lantern light in the room gleams on it as though it were flower petals."And you were here…" Christina prompts."I was here in the islands, preparing to go.  I heard that Britomart had blundered into someone else's trap and was dying of it.  I brought her down.  The magic is clean here, and there are serendipities and artifacts.  I hoped to heal her.""But that hasn't happened."The wine is mulled with cinnamon and clove and sugar that has not completely dissolved, a gritty sweet residue at the cup's bottom."No," she says. "That hasn't happened."Christina smuggles Laurana onto her ship while it's at harbor.  She and three other sailors are supposed to be watching it.  Laurana sits with them drinking shots of rum until the yellow moon swings itself up over the prow, its face broad and grinning as a baby's.  It reminds her of Britomart and her tears well up.  She savors the moment, for magic removes almost all capacity to weep.She nudges Christina and points to the distant reef.  Out on the rocks, mermaids cluster, fishy eyes shining in the moonlight, fleshy gills pulsing like tidepool creatures shuttered close by the light.  She kisses Christina as they watch.Eventually, the two climb into Christina's bunk for frantic, slippery, drunken lovemaking, careful of the still healing arm.She leaves in the small hours, past the stares of the mermaids.  It is still planting season and the golems work and night.When she first came to the island she tried yellow-flowered sea-island cotton.  Then indigo and ginger.  With the arrival from the Wizard's College of Tabat of schematics for three-roller mills and copper furnace pots, sugar cane has become the crop of choice.  Her workers perform the labor that must be undertaken day and night when the cane is ready to harvested and transmuted into sugar and molasses.  She makes rum too, and ships barrels of it along with the molasses casks and thick cones of molded muscovado sugar to Sant Tigres, which consumes or trades all she can supply.Most sorcerers are not strong enough to animate so many golems.  She has the largest plantation in this area.  Others, though, have followed her lead, although on a smaller scale.  It took decades for them to realize how steadily she was making money, despite the depredations of the Dutch merchants or the pirates they paid to disrupt the Aztec shipping trade.She had been to the Old Continent before all the trouble, two years learning science at a school, where she had met Britomart, who was an actual princess as well as a sorceress.  She had been centuries old when she met Britomart but she had dared to hope that here was her soul mate, the person who would stay by her side over all the centuries to come. But in the end, she wanted to return to her island, full of new techniques and machineries that she thought would improve the yield.  Rotating fields and planting those lying fallow with clover, to be plowed into the soil to enrich it for planting.  Plans for a windmill to be built to the southeast, facing into the wind channeled through the mountains, with sails made of wooden frames tied with canvas.  Lenses placed together that allowed one to observe the phases of heaven and the moons that surrounded other planets, and the accompanying elegant Copernican theories to explain their movements. She swore to Britomart that she would return by the next rainy season and she kept her promise.But by then, the trap had been sprung and Britomart had begun to rot away, victim of a magic left by a man who had died two weeks previously."You're ready to be rid of me," Britomart says."Of course not.""It's true, you are!"She goes about the room, conjuring breezes and positioning them to blow across the bed's expanse."You are," Britomart whispers. "I would be."Two breezes collide at the center of the bed.  Britomart wants it cold, ever colder.  It slows the decay, perhaps.  Laurana isn't sure of that either.Outside she sees that the golems are nearly done with the south-east field.  One more to go after that.  She glances over the building, tallying up the things to be done.  Roof.  Trimming back the bushes.  Exercising the horse she had thought Britomart would ride.Half a mile away is the beach shore.  Her skiff is pulled up there, tied to a rock.  Standing beside it, she can see the smudge of Sant Tigres on the horizon.She is so tired that she aches to her bones.  Somewhere deep inside her, she is aware, there is an endless well of sorrow, but she is simply too weary to pay it any mind.  It is one of the peculiarities of mages that they can compartmentalize themselves, and put away emotions to never be touched again.She does this now, rousing herself, and prepares to go on.  She has a pact with the universe, which told her long ago when she became a sorceress: nothing will be asked that cannot be endured.  So she soldiers on like her workers, marching through the days.She is still tired a week later."Go to her," Britomart says.  "I don't care.  You don't have much time with her.""I have even less with you," Laurana says, but Britomart still turns away.It is harvesting season’s end.  Outside in the evening, some of the golems are in the boiling house, where three boilers sit over the furnace, cooking the sugar cane sap.  The syrup passes from boiler to boiler until in the last it begins to crystallize into muscovado.  Two golems pack it into clay sugar molds and set the molds in the distillery so the molasses will drain away.In the distillery, more golems walk across the mortar and cobble floor in which copper cauldrons are set for molasses collection, undulating channels feeding them the liquid. They mix cane juice into the brew before casking it.  In a few months, it will be distilled into fiery, raw rum and sold to the taverns in the pirate city.She goes and fetches her notebook and sits in the room with Britomart, her pen scratching away to record the day's labors, the number of rows harvested, and making out a list of necessities for her next trip to Sant Tigres.  She estimates two thousand pounds of sugar this year, three hundred casks of molasses, and another two hundred of rum.  Recently she received word that the sorcerer Carnuba, whose plantation is three days south, renovated his sugar mill to process lime juice.  Lime juice is an excellent scurvy preventative, and much in demand – she wonders how long it would take a newly planted grove to fruit.  Her pen dances across the page, calculating raw material costs and the best forms of transportation."Is she pretty?" Britomart asks.  Her face is still turned away.Laurana considers. "Yes," she says."As pretty as I was?" The anguish in the whisper forces Laurana put down her pen.  She takes Britomart's hands in hers.  They are untouched by the disease, the nails sleek and shiny and well-groomed.  Hands like the necks of swans, or white doves arcing over the gleam of water."Never that pretty," she says.The next morning Laurana goes through the room, touching each charm to stillness until the lace curtains no longer flutter.  Until there is no sound in the room except her own breathing and the warbling calls of the deathbirds clustering among the blossoms of the bougainvillea tree outside.She hears a fluttering from her room, a pigeon that has joined the dozen others on the windowsill, but she ignores it, as she ignored the earlier arrivals.  She sits beside the bed, listening, listening.  But the figure on the bed does not take another breath, no matter how long she listens.All through that day, the golems labor boiling sugar.  Jeanette brings her lemonade and the new girl, Madeleine, has made biscuits.  She drinks the sweet liquid and looks at the dusty wallpaper.  The thought of changing it stuns her with the energy it would require.  She will sit here, she thinks, until she dies, and dust will collect on her and the wallpaper alike.Still, when dinner-time comes she goes downstairs and under Tante Isabelle's watchful eye, she pushes some food around on her plate.Daniel cannot help but be a little thankful that Britomart is dead, she thinks.  He was the one who emptied her chamber pot and endured her abuse when she set him to fetching and carrying.  The thought makes her speak sharply to him as he serves the chowder the new girl has made.  He looks bewildered by her tone and slinks away.  She regrets the moment as soon as it is passed but has no reason for calling him back.Upstairs the ranks of the pigeons have swollen by two or three more.  She lies on her bed, fully clothed, and stares at the ceiling.The next morning she takes two golems from their labors to carry Britomart's body for her.  They dig the grave on a high slope of the mountain, overlooking the bay.  It is a fine view, she thinks.  One Britomart would have liked. When they have finished, she stands with her palms turned upwards to the sky, calling clouds to come seething on the wind.  They collect, darkening like burning sugar.  When they are at the perfect, furious boil, she brings lightning down from them to smash the stone that stands over the grave.  She does it over and over again, carving Britomart's name in deep and angry, blackened letters.At home she goes to lie in bed again.One by one, the golems grind to a stop at their labors, and the sap boils over in thick black smoke.  They stand wherever their energy gave out, but all manage in their last moments to bring their limbs in towards their torsos, standing like stalks of stillness.It may be the smoke that draws Christina.  She arrives, knocks on the door, and comes inside, brushing past the servants.  Without knowing the house, she manages to come upstairs and to Laurana's bedroom.Laurana does not move, does not look over at the door.Christina comes to the bed and lies down beside the sorceress.  She looks around at the bedroom, at the string of shells hanging on the wall, but says nothing.  She strokes Laurana's ivory hair with a soft hand until the tears begin.Outside the golems grind to life again as the rain starts.  They collect the burned vats and trundle them away.  They cask the most recent rum and set the casks on wooden racks to ferment.  They put the plantation into order, and finish the last of their labors.  Then as the light of day fades, muffled by the steady rain, they arrange themselves again, closing themselves away, readying for tomorrow.END"Sugar" was originally published in Fantasy Magazine in 2007.This recording is a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license which means you can share it with anyone you’d like, but please don’t change or sell it.

Il podcast sui fumetti condotto da Tito Faraci: ogni primo mercoledì del mese una chiacchierata con fumettisti e appassionati.

En el programa de hoy, como ya os dijimos el mes pasado, hemos eliminado nuestra sección de noticias, ya que por lo menos en ese formato, no creemos que sea parte de la labor que queremos hacer en el programa. Para seguir bien informados, los chicos de la Taberna de Laurana, a los que agradecemos muchísimo su colaboración con nosotros estos meses pasados, os seguirán informando puntualmente de todo lo que ocurre en el mundillo en su blog: latabernadelaurana.blogspot.com.es Pero vamos con nuestro sumario propiamente dicho. En primer lugar un contenido que si habéis estado atentos este mes, ya habréis podido escuchar. Hicimos nuestro primer programa en directo con Francisco Javier Pellón, uno de los principales impulsores del sistema swedish en Warhammer 40,000. Conversamos con él y con mucha gente guapa del mundillo sobre este sistema, sus pros y sus contras y contamos además con vuestra colaboración en directo. Durante estas semanas pasadas hemos estado jugando bastante a un juego al que seguíamos hace tiempo: Formula D. Se trata de un juego de Formula 1 de la marca Asmodee, que con esto del comienzo de un nuevo mundial de Formula 1nos ha apetecido probar y poner en marcha un campeonato entre los amigos. Berek y yo os hablaremos sobre lo que nos ha parecido en un nuevo capítulo de nuestra serie de “Jugamos a…” Y por último, nuestro Big Three regresa triunfal tras un programa de ausencia. Este mes se ha llevado a cabo el concurso de pintura de Leganés en el que Paloji y Berek participaron y que desmenuzaremos con su ayuda y la de David Rodríguez y Volomir. Como siempre, entre locura y locura, también habrá tiempo de buenos comentarios acerca de la pintura histórica frente a la fantástica y de comentar un poco los nuevos movimientos de Workshop y tratar de buscarles algo de coherencia.
