Time moving forward

As promised, it is now the next morning in Kanak, principle city of Pashtia. There are some appointments already set for the day: the Emissary and Faroz will be spending some time together before the mid-day meal, and Gjeelea and Siamak will be visiting with their mother at lunch. In the afternoon, Siamak and the Emissary have an appointment -- have I missed anything?

It might be a good idea to look a bit further ahead right now, too. The game is slated to cover a year or so in the history of Pashtia so there should be at least a few good time jumps coming up. I'm not sure when and how long the first big jump should be, and I do not propose that we can or should settle that immediately, as we need to see where the story takes us -- but I would ask that everyone start thinking about this.

Also, with a new day comes new possibilities. We've explored the life and space of the Palace pretty well, but there's a whole city (not to mention a kingdom) beyond those walls: perhaps some of us will have business or pleasure to pursue in the wider world?

Just want to say again how much I'm enjoying the game so far. Every time I log on to the Downs I eagerly look for new posts to the game thread.
