Hello, Pathfinders!
You know it wouldn’t be summer without a celebration of the Radiant Prism! And what a celebration we have had here in Absalom!
Who did I see at the Radiant Celebration? So many people, Pathfinders!
Let’s start with J Dacilane, who looks like he’s taking a break from his job being a professional Good Influence on the students of the Dacilane Academy to take out one of the teachers! I saw him and that curly-haired aiuvarin who was recently hired to teach music and chorus being very close during the festival.

Even some of our leadership were out and about during the celebrations! I saw Csilla, Eliza, and Sorrina giggling about something while standing at one of the booths, though I wasn’t able to get too close to find out about what. However, I did see that Csilla seemed to have picked up a lovely, sensible, multi-use pocketknife. Maybe that’s going to be a gift to a certain steward of the Grand Lodge?

The Heidmarches were around, as they always are during the Radiant Celebration. Let me tell you, Sheila can tell quite the raunchy joke when she has a few pints of mead in her, rather than her usual wine. Don’t worry, we were very responsible, but your beloved Venture-Gossip definitely has a new set of jokes for her next trip up to Brevoy!

Just one last hint of a budding romance before I go: Bjersig Torrsen and his adorable companion Mahki were seen at the festival, accompanied by a blushing Viore Ciobanu! Now, I’m not one to gossip (yes, of course I am, who am I kidding) but I think these two venture-captains might be doing more than swapping tips on how to run an efficient lodge!

Happy Sarenith and happy Radiant Celebration to you all!
I will see you in my next column!
With adoration,
Your Beloved Venture-Gossip
Explore! Report! Cooperate! Gossip!
It has been an honor to be here with all of you. Thank you.
