Maith Ailineighdaeth! A new #book is on the way!

Maith Ailineighdaeth and Happy Frewyn New Year to all!

There are many new books coming in the new year, including a new Baba story, a new Galleisian tale, and Martje's very own cookery book, replete with recipies (or receipts) from the castle keep. This is a book I've wanted to have done for sometime. The book will also include a few dishes from the northern continent and all the making methods.

Below is one of the items in the book: Karnwyl peat cake, as explained by Martje:

Story for the Day: Sponge and Quiltcake

Story for the Day: The Spy Office

There are many divisions of the Frewyn Armed Forces: the Regulars are made up of cerns and captains and commanders, the Royal Guard are comprised of Elites and Brigadiers, and even the Brigade has its own especial subsection within the ranks of Westren, lending its members to the remote reaches of the Menorian Mountains and the Four Beacons, Frewyn’s far flung corners, where no one save a few passing gulls and ancient winkles would go at the best times of the year.
