Silverfur Stargazers

Two people watch a dark sky.

It was the middle of winter in the year 676, when grumbles of Professor Slabmika Mologmomo’s alerted everyone to her field reports being tardy, much like some of her students when coming to class. The Professor of Gorglognal Academy, located in the Gaaglin Swamp, was awaiting information from taurian twins who had recently begun working…

March Report Cycle

An army marches forward in black and white, the front few soldiers clear in their platemail, the rearguard naught but silhouettes.

We’ll be opening reports later this month but before we do so I’d like to ask for feedback on the current report format.

We could also…
