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.

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?!

Nevermind, with special attention being given to innermountain transportation. The reader is introduced to Gnosh, the gnome in charge of investigating the dragon orb, and a bit about Gnomish culture. Fizban uses the orb and delivers ominous news. The Council of Whitestone, where the good people of Krynn have gathered to organize their defense against the threat of Takhisis, immediately breaks down into bickering. Tas takes things into his own hands, and right as all hope seems lost some old friends bring good news and a titular object!

Ad Astra Travelers and welcome to Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. This week our hosts are discussing one of the most anticipated characters in Teyvat, the new Knave, Arlecchino. Our hosts start by remembering our initial introduction to Arlecchino in Hoyo's video A Winter Night's Lazzo and what we could expect after talking to her co-workers Childe and Scaramouche. After, we discuss Arlcecchino's first appearance in Fontaine and how she participated in the Fontaine Archon Quest. Later, our hosts take a deep dive into her Khaenri'ahn roots and affiliation with the Crimson Moon Dynasty. As part of her history, we'll jump into a book club discussion led by Pierro as we review the contents of Perinheri. Was Perinheri cursed by Ronova? Is Ronova the same person as Angelica? Or is Angelica just another Schuyler sister? Afterwards, our hosts review her journey to taking over the House of the Hearth, relationship with the Fontaine sibling trio and how she was able to finally say goodbye to Clervie.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Whispers of Poetry: A Winter Night at the Library Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-01-13-08-38-19-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Снег је тихо прекривао град, док су се светла улице огледала у прозорима библиотеке.En: Snow quietly blanketed the city, as the streetlights reflected in the library windows.Sr: Универзитетска библиотека је била права оаза мира у зимском хаосу.En: The university library was a real oasis of peace in the winter chaos.Sr: Велике столове је красила успавана атмосфера, јер су већина студената били заузети славама за православну Нову годину.En: Large tables were adorned with a sleepy atmosphere, as most students were preoccupied with celebrations for the Pravoslavna Nova godina.Sr: Јован, студент историје, увек је био вредан.En: Jovan, a history student, was always diligent.Sr: Али изнутра, имао је тајну љубав према поезији коју није делио ни са ким.En: But inside, he harbored a secret love for poetry that he shared with no one.Sr: Седећи сам, одлучио је да празнике проведе у библиотеку, у нади да пронађе мало тишине и мира.En: Sitting alone, he decided to spend the holidays at the library, hoping to find a bit of silence and peace.Sr: Хтео је да се усредсреди на испите који су му били важни.En: He wanted to focus on his exams, which were important to him.Sr: Мила, студенткиња уметности, имала је своје битке.En: Mila, an art student, had her own struggles.Sr: Њен финални пројекат је захтевао инспирацију и мир, нешто што није могла наћи међу пријатељима.En: Her final project required inspiration and tranquility, something she couldn't find among friends.Sr: Одлучила је да се повуче у библиотеку, надајући се да ће њена креативност процветати у тишини овог места.En: She decided to retreat to the library, hoping that her creativity would blossom in the silence of this place.Sr: Док је ноћ одмицала, Јован и Мила су се нашли седећи за истим столом, сваки уроњен у своје књиге и мисли.En: As the night went on, Jovan and Mila found themselves sitting at the same table, each immersed in their books and thoughts.Sr: Звук страница и повремени звукови удаљених сауговорника били су једини звукови који су допирали до њих.En: The sound of turning pages and occasional sounds of distant conversations were the only noises reaching them.Sr: У тренутку када је Јован устао да оде до полица с књигама, својом немарношћу оставио је отворену свеску са песмама.En: In a moment when Jovan got up to go to the book shelves, he carelessly left open a notebook with poems.Sr: Радознала, Мила је погледала унутра и прочитала неколико стихова.En: Curious, Mila looked inside and read a few verses.Sr: Осетила је топлину у тим речима и видела неочекивану дубину.En: She felt warmth in those words and saw an unexpected depth.Sr: Када се Јован вратио, приметио је да је Мила читала његове песме.En: When Jovan returned, he noticed that Mila had been reading his poems.Sr: Лице му је поцрвенело од стида, али Мила је погледала у њега с осмехом.En: His face flushed with embarrassment, but Mila looked at him with a smile.Sr: "Прелепе су," рекла је, са искреним дивљењем у гласу.En: "They are beautiful," she said, with genuine admiration in her voice.Sr: У том тренутку, у месту које им је пружало бекство, пронашли су заједничку нит.En: In that moment, in a place that offered them escape, they found a common thread.Sr: Разговарали су, упознајући једно друго на нове и неочекиване начине.En: They talked, getting to know each other in new and unexpected ways.Sr: Јован је полако отварао своје срце, дозвољавајући поезији да буде део његовог живота на јавној сцени.En: Jovan slowly opened his heart, allowing poetry to be a part of his life in the public scene.Sr: Мила је, кроз разговоре о уметности и поезији, нашла нову перспективу свог рада.En: Through conversations about art and poetry, Mila found a new perspective on her work.Sr: Док су

We are reunited with Tanis, Raistlin and the rest of the Companions who we last saw leaving Silvanesti. We meet up with them in Port Balifor tired and road weary. Raistlin's sleight-of-hand and magic ensures they eat and lodge for free. It also becomes the means by which the Companions raise enough funds to travel safely to Flotsam and book passage on a ship to Sancrist. We are also reunited with Sturm, who has not been as lucky as Tanis and Company. Instead, he is put on trial by accusations from Derek, and while he escapes with his life and a chance to save it, he is stripped of his father's armor. Oh, and made third in command of the Silmarian Army…?

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.

The greatest of Taiwan's modernists, Bai Xianyong's short story, "Winter Nights," is a tale about history and how little we are able to change things. These revolutionaries of Beijing's hot summer of 1919 reconvene in Taipei in the 1960's having lost their cause and their country. Lee taught this story about protestors during the height of the pro-Palestinian protests in 2024, and he describes how his students reacted to the story. 

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!

Alhana with Tanis and Company in tow reach Silvanesti. Their rides refuse to take them into the Elven homeland though. Alhana has regrets. Lots of them. Talk of Dragon Orbs and what they might do. They enter the forests of Silvanesti, and a nightmare. All of the Companions are reunited in a horrific, twisted vision of Silvanesti. And in that Nightmare most of them perish. Raistlin has further dark dealings. Tanis races to the Tower of the Stars and the Dragon Orb. The reader sees portents and signs of the future… Oh, there's also a very large, very evil green dragon, the Nightmare ends. Tanis awakes.
