throw back to when a local pitmommy launched a freakishly long lasting campaign against me on nextdoor bc I told her I didn't wanna sit for her XL rescue bully, & also that it's heinously irresponsible to keep that thing in the house with her toddlers. I literally referred her to countless news stories of little kids being mauled by dogs they raised lovingly since they were puppies-let alone her giant beast that was quite possibly raised in some depraved dogfighting ring (though I'm sure the fuckass animal shelter tried to say it was a "bait dog" lol. newsflash, these dogs always go for the kill when theyre set off, if it was a meek little bait dog it would be dead). she literally implied I'm a racist (yes, really) for not wanting to read about her kids horrible painful deaths in the paper. she was like "I don't care about the stats, it's still 1 in 10,000 chance" hello?? if a plane had a 1 in 10,000 chance of crashing would you put your daughters on it or would you choose another goddamn airline that only has a 1 in a million chance of crashing???? fucks sakes

I truly don't understand why these people won't just get a fucking lab or a golden or any of the numerous breeds that are proven to be FAR less likely to snap & kill people out of nowhere. there is nothing you can get from a pit that you can't get from any other breed. I have a theory that they just want to feel like heroes for "saving" a dog that the evil bigots like me would refuse to adopt for silly reasons, like not wanting my family to be mauled. lol

oon cossissa niin pitkällä että kaikki vaatteet on tehty (kaukana ollaan mun ekasta cossistani johon en ehtinyt tehdä housuja joten menin sit ilman), mut tässä on nyt se ongelma että mun pitäisi seuraavaksi nysvätä propit kasaan. mä en ole kokenut proppientekijä eli mun pitäis käyttää aivoja ja se on vaikeaa, joten sen sijaan mun ajatukseni menee jatkuvasti kaikkeen muuhun mitä voisin ommella

tämänhetkinen top-3:

- punaisesta nahasta tehdyt landsknecht-lutkashortsit ja kalukukkaro (myös eriparihiha jos vuodasta liikenee)

- tudor-pöksyt joihin voisin käyttää vitusti joskus ostamaani koristenyöriä

[blurredlandscape]

there's a silence

ringing

in my ear

of rippling water

drums resonating;

humming with your

distilled songs

of lyrics 'bout a

war-torn heart

creating a symphony

that reenacts

my broken one

ive bound my struggles

up in crosses and cinches

im a tight lipped fornicator

lost in steepled churchs'

hatreds

dark and binding

searching for wider spaces

to hear better;

your secrets are safe with me

if im perpetually

the witch in the midst

of their propitous understandings

let it be,

for your wounds; a lit match

to restart my kindling

firestorm

I like the descriptions but they both have the less fitting ‘lunar sway’… how important is that?

You can also use Propit instead, it does change the sign

Her Nine Hues - Day 06 (red)

There is little to no surprise that the colour of aggression, force, passion and beauty-- red-- is associated with Maa Katyayani (Daughter of Kata), one of the fiercest forms of the goddess. It is said that the anger of all gods (including Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and all the other devas), manifested in the form of intense rays, crystallised in Sage Kata’s hermitage, and thus was born this fiery form of the goddess. Other tales mention that the above event was a coincidence, or a parallel event, as Sage Kata was a great devotee of the mother goddess and wished to beget her as a daughter.  Ironically, this fierce war goddess (often equated with Chandi and Bhadrakali as the militant forms of Shakti) is propitated for marital luck, and is said to be a favourite deity among unmarried women, as Sita, Rukmini and Radha have been said to have worshipped her to be blessed with a good husband. Red being associated with marriage may be both a cause and effect for the said colour to be associated with her.

[dakshinakali]

Kali -from the beginning of time

The story begins from the times primordial, the origin of everything from the abstraction of nothingness. The concept of creation roots back to the time when desire emerged in the Supreme Force to be multitudinous. our creation is the result of the kamana that crept up in the mind of the singular, Primordial Entity. The Upannishads quoth

Ekaki na Ramate

Cha kamayate : Eko’ham, bahu syam.

Meaning anyone who is alone is not happy. I desire that since I am alone, let me be many.

Thus, the Para Brahman split into two : the Supreme Goddess and Supreme Lord. This Lord waited for the right time to be manifested while the Goddess relesed all her vivacity into the creation. Energies of the world was now released into a singularity, which was smaller and denser than anything we can imagine.

The goddess resembled depths undiscovered, and assumed the form of mysterious darkness, having a thousand faces and limbs. This Adyaa or primordial form of the goddess is known as Mahakali, or Adyaa Kali.

Now,Let me narrate the story of Bhadrakali...

The goddess now harmonized her supremacy to create a deity resembling her attributes,but manifested as a male force, the one of the Three Supreme purushas, Maha Vishnu. The goddess made him indulge into her Maya, her power, and Maha Vishnu was put to sleep in a divine slumber, the Yoganidra, by the Yogic powers of Yogmaya Mahakali.

When Brahma, another member of the Trinity, was just created from the lotus-navel of MahaVishnu, he was sheer inane. He was just like an infant, unknown to exactly what his purpose was. However, he was but a child, and his urger for a populous world full of care was also like any other human new born. But here, the new born Brahma was to become the progenitor to satisfy his own desire of a populous world. He did not know so, but saw glimpses of the creation (that he was to endeavour for) in the all overwhelming smile of the dark goddess on whose lap was he seated as was all that was existing and was yet to exist. In the laughter of the omnipotent mother he say glimpses of the creation and his desires began to grow passionately intense. He began the creation. He urged the Mother Mahakali to help him. So, she appeared as Maa Kushmanda and released the celestial objects from her smile (essentially from her tongue), ie, from Mahakali or the rooted omnipresent dark energy was released the percievable mass and strength which led Mahakali to be manifested as the illuminati Kushmanda.

However soon, the demons Madhu and Kaitabha arose from the dust in the ears of Vishnu, who was absolutely unaware of the incidents, slumbering divinely. These pig-ignorant beings tormented Brahma, who called out to Kushmanda for succour. Now, Kushmanda entered Sri Vishnu's ears, adsorbing all the dust to awaken him. Once again rose the goddess of dark complexion, who wakened Vishnu, and inducing her maya, she lead Madhu and Kaitabha to their doom all by themselves. This form of Kali is calm and the bestoyer of Maya to devise divine ploys so that she may create events and attributes to her wishful choices. Thus she is Bhadrakali, or the calm Kali or the Yogamaya Kali.

Bhadrakali appears in the following descriptions too

Upon coming to know that her father Daksha was planning a yajna to insult Shiva, Sati became clearly determined to refute her father's opinions. She, Mother of the creation, knew that no world would be equilibriated without Destruction, her husband Shiva, who was the complete manifestation of the Supreme Lord as Mahakala. However, as Shiva refused to let Sati visit her father and question him, Sati was hurt. To top this all, Shiva camouflaged his fear of losing Sati behind the arrogant voice of a dominating husband. She flared up and revealed to Shiva her very primordial form. As a glaring illumination emanated from Sati, she stood no more in front of Shiva as the same benevolent wife, clad in all the earthly indulgences . No longer was she bedecked in jewels of gold but a garland of apes and men alike, she revealed the Ugra form of Mahakali in herself. Howbeit, as Shiva ran affrighted, Sati was struck with pity. She calmed down and stood before Shiva as somewhat sangfroid and soberly mild, yet dark as blue iris. This milder form of Mahakali is the 1st Mahavidya, Bhadrakali, who calmly spoke out to Shiva that he better calms down and relents his wife to live to her decisions. However, Shiva ran out of fright, only to be encountered by the rest of the 9 Mahavidyas.

Incidentally, the same Bhadrakali reappears when Shiva came to know about Sati's self immolation. After Shiva became the destroyer Panchanana and utilises a lock of his matted hair to create Veerbhadra, the latter becomes bound by Maha Vishnu at the Daksha Yajna site. To release him, Shiva invites Sati to reincarnate and avenge the wrong done to them. Sati's soul, that of the great Mahamaya, enters the 3rd eye of the North Face of Panchanana, and emerges as Bhadrakali, iris blue as the eye of the North Face of Panchanana Shiva. She is diplomatic in words, calmly frees Veerbhadra after an exchange of arguements on basis of justice. Next, she calmly fetches Daksha, brings him to Veerabhadra and again reunites with the lifeless body of Sati,yet housing all the divine vitality, to rid her worshipper’s body of all sins, proving the fullest blessings of the Mother Supreme.

The same Bhadrakali appears again in the slaying of Darik. He was a demon who ruled in the Darikavana, utilising the powers of his wife Mandodari, also called Daruki, and is not to be confused with Mandodari of Ramayana. The wife Daruki was a great devotee of the Goddess Parvati. Hence she attained immense powers though tapas and imparted the good of her yogic attributes to enable Darik stay overwhemingly poweful. Parvati blessed that he may remain undefeated unless rendered to her displeasure . However, he became so amorous and torturous to women that Parvati was troubled. To top it all, Darik captued and began torturing a snake-man , Supriyo, who was worshipping Shiva in his kingdom. This infuriated Shiva, who instantly came to save Supriyo in form of Nageswara jyotirlingam. Now, Parvati was humiliated to an ultimatum. She decided to teach Darik a lesson, for, by saying that Parvati would spare Darik provided he doesn't disrespect her, she meant her disregard in all respects, be her own self, her abode, or her beloved. And fool was Darik to assume that Shiva's devotee would repose not in Parvati,’s heart.

Into the third eye of Nageswara entered Parvati, and appered in a form of blue complexion, absorbing the colour of the Prussian hued poison in Shiva's neck. Again she stood as Bhadrakali, who slew Darik with great aplomb, yet did not lose her mind in the liquidation of the fool asura. She remained clam and did not continue the blood-shed once Darik met his end. Bhadrakali is thus the exact bearer of her duties.

As Bhadrakali Parvati indulged in her happy domiciliary life with Shiva at Kailasa, Daruki began to practice severe austerities to propitate Shiva, that she may avenge the death of her love.

Now, let me narrate the story of Bhadrakali's transformation into Ugra Kali. We shall again come back to the Daruki episode later.

In the meantime, Sumbha and Nisumbha began their abuse. The maltreated world, afflicted with misery, cried out for help. To top it all, they attacked the Gods while the son of Ugrasena, Kamsa, took over the mortal world. Such was their tyranny that every nook and cranny resonated with cries for relief.

The Gods approached Kali Parvati as she was going to take a dip in Mansarovar . She manifested herself from the Kosha or cells of her body, appearing as the wheatish complexioned, the radiant Kaushiki. As Kali remained in yogic trance, Kaushiki went to serve her task.

Kaushiki took birth as the daughter of Yashoda while Sri Vishnu manifested as Krishna, taking birth from Devaki's womb. As Krishna's father interchanged the children, Kansa appeared to kill Devaki’s 8th child, prophesised to be his death itself. Having already killed her previous 6 children and thinking her to have miscarried the 7th pregnancy, finally he would become immortal, thought he. However, as Kamsa took the girl in his hands as was about to thrash her to death, she flew out of his grip. A thunderous laughter of the celestial lady overwhelmed all directions as she proclaimed that his death incarnate was intact , and disappeared.

She went to to the Vindhya Mountains and assuming the form of a very young girl, a Kumari, she slept her Yogic slumber. The trinity performed the Kumari Puja to awaken the damsel Goddess. The Goddess rose as a young maiden, with the attributes of MahaSaraswati, and lured the demons. As Sumbha and Nisumbha sent a marriage proposal, she rebuked it and invited them to fight. Instigated, they sent their comarades to fight, but all were sent to the abode of death by the Eight Warrior Sisters whom Kaushiki created, headed by the skeleton-thin, fierce, blood-red necked Chamunda, the slayer of Chanda and Munda. However, quite opposed to the common notion that Chamunda is same as Ugra Kalika, she is not. They are similar in their dark complexion but different in genesis and their seed syllables. Chamunda was created by Kaushiki from her eyebrows and after the slaughter Of the asuras, she reabsorbed Chamunda into herself. Whereas Kaushiki herself arose from the Bharman within the Koshas of Kalika. This Kalika gets enraged and becomes the Ugra Kalika. Moreover, the physique of the goddesses differ in the sense that Kali is described as a plum woman, having full breasts and a youthful radiance of the feminine; while Chamunda has a thin, malnourished appearance with protruding ribs . However, both Ugra Kalika and Chamundika have fearsome expressions and are extremely stormy, angry and malevolent in destruction of the negative elements of the Universe . The emergence of Ugra Kali in the story is as follows …

When Raktabija arrived at the battlefield, Kaushiki went on stabbing him with her trident but with the flow of hus blood rose thousands of Raktabijas. So, she invoked Kali Parvati. Kali Parvati woke up on the banks of Mansarovar and incarnated on the battlefield as Ugra Kali. She slew all the raktabijas abd drank their blood. The drops that fell were consumed by jackals following her.

Kaushiki then killed Sumbha and Nisumbha. Meanwhile, Ugra Kali became extremely stormy and aggressive. The dance of her feet struck sheer destruction on Earth. Her tongue lolled out in desire to consume more blood. This signifies how Kala or time dissolutes into the goddess of time . Her all devouring tongue signifies the all engulfing Kala or time.

Finally, to pacify her, Shiva lay as a corpse at her feet. This shows how Shiva or Purusha is just a corpse without Shakti or Prakriti. Stepping on Shiva, whom she loved dearly and placed him in her bossom, the malevolent act aroused a perdurable sense of guilt for causing pain to her love. She bit her tongue in guilt, as Kalika is portrayed for popular worship.

As Ugra Kali calmed back into Bhadrakali, she retreated into the forests of Darukavana, guilty of having performed such unnecessary destruction and having harmed the Purusha of her heart.

It was here that Daruki was performing tapas to appease Shiva and avenge Darik's death. Shiva was forced by her tapas to grant her a boon. Daruki asked for a boon to avenge her husband's death. Shiva, the Ashutosha, got quickly satisfied. He was already preoccupied with thoughts so as to console his consort, who was troubled by what she had done and was residing somewhere in the same Darukavana. Shiva gave Daruki few drops of his sweat, such that one when sprinkled by which would be afflicted with tremendously irritable and painful eruptions on one's appearance.

Daruki now sought for Bhadrakali. Finding her, Daruki sprinkled on Bhadrakali Shiva's sweat. As a result, she was Bhadrakali was extremely pained by the blistering eruptions in likeness of chicken pox. Anguished , she questioned Shiva , in the trauma of her maim, what wrong she had done in punishing Darik that too in compliance with Shiva's wish.

Shiva sent Ghantakarna, one of his ganas to medicate and remove her rashes, which detrimented and saddened Bhadrakali Parvati all the more, for she knew not what caused Shiva not to come himself, unknown to the fact that Lord Indra had come to meet Shiva. Hence she sent the gana back.

Indra, the king of Gods, wished to send some apsaras to assist Shiva help console Bhadrakali. As Shiva approached her, he found the fair complexioned apsaras advancing , and he addressed his consort as the ‘O dear Kalike, my Dark One’, and called out to the apsaras as “ O ladies of divine radiance as fair as the pristine snow, the possessor of Divine Arts, I hope you shall take no offence in assisting me to serve my little woman here… she is quite pained. ”

Bhadrakali-Parvati took offence at seemingly racist comment . She believed Shiva was mocking at her black complexion and that Shiva too was harnessing the traditional mortal belief that fairness was beauty and became depressed and dolorously declared,--- “since i am such an ugly burden to you that you can take such liberties with me as afflicting me with quite an incessant pain and since you again look down upon me in public; it is better that you may stay without me forever. As for the scars of these boils I have on my soma, let it stay forever thus, blemishing my skin to mark how REALLY BEAUTIFUL I AM.”

Bhadrakali retired to Kanchipuram as a yogini and began penance beneath a mango tree , dedicated to a Shiva lingam she made out of sand . The greatest of all Yoginis as Parvati is, her anger, the force of destruction, the primordial energy of the most intense enigma, i.e., the darkness that comprises the depth of the unkown where all converges into and diverges from, is all lost within Parvati and she becomes the fair maiden. This incident does Not eulogise racism but denotes the fact that Parvati is not ashamed of her colour, be it as the fair Parvati or the Dark Mahakali. Quite opposed to popular notions that Parvati was born Dark…, Parvati was the FAIR born Goddess Mahakali, she was fair and not dark from birth. It is a simple fact and no comment made on the preferred colour of the skin. Hence she simply reverts to her original form.

I intend to end this narrative on a more softer and delicate note, the story of their reunion after the episode of Shiva-Parvati’s previous fall out.

Narada, the divine mischief maker, sage of the gods, visited the Yogini Parvati, who was now her original self. She was, by now, terribly missing Shiva and having carved out a sand Shiva linga to be consoled by his physical appearance near her, was now continuing her penance with grit and determination so that no force might deter her from extracting one just sorry from her beloved.

Narada however ployed some fun and notified the Goddess that Shiva was not at all unhappy without her company. Rather, he showed no signs of grief in her absence. The fair Parvati, dedicated and dolorous to hear this, sat down to concentrate in an even deeper meditation.

Shiva was woebegone at his loneliness, would watch Parvati from the branches of the mango tree. Unable to bear it any longer, he called upon Ganga to break Parvati's penance. As Ganga tried her best to counsel her sister, the latter showed no signs of budging from her trance. With every passing moment, she was becoming even more radiant and was as if on a journey to get re-incarnated as a maiden, with a newly youthful glory. She had as though made up her mind to test Shiva with her allure and check if it were only the outward beauty which appealed to him or he was actually the very ascetic she loved so dearly.

Ganga, unable to break Parvati's austerities, decided to flow in and flood the area with all her force, her waves smashing into the Shiva ling to destroy its sculpture. At this, Parvati woke up with a start, and assimilating all the love she So dearly cherished in her heart, hugged the lingam with her youthful nurture, in form of his eternal inamorata. She thus emerged as Kamakshi.

Ganga notified her of Shiva's longing and advised her that she need not have changed to prove in adverse to Shiva's heart, for the heart of her man loved her in all her attributes and that she was not to be objectified, neither should she have given in to this objectification, nor was she at all objectified by the PARAMA Purusha Shiva.

Parvati, nurtured in good counsel, decided to test the same and visited Shiva in her renewed manifestation as an young damsel of 16, named Sorashi, the queen of all seasons, the 2nd of the 10 Mahavidyas, who is the same as Kamakshi.

As Sorashi asks Shiva who resides in his heart, she finds the imagery of the damsel she is in the guise of- — the beauty of Sorashi. Just as Parvati is downcast to find that outer beauty is what seemed to be appealing for Shiva, a closer glance revealed the picture in Shiva's heart to be Kali, the primordial, and then Parvati, as she had always been and ever shall be . Sorashi's heart melted and with it was washed away the misunderstanding that separated them . She reverts back to Parvati, in whose form she became the consort of the householder Shiva.

Thus were the Purusha and Prakriti reunited…

Don't be worried, I get my hair fried on the monthly lol, I'm sure it will come out great. 💜💜💜

So here's my ask, I haven't watched Prospect yet, convert a sinner (lol), what's your favorite thing about Ezra?

Ooo I'd probably say ezra's..honesty?? Towards cee.

Incoming spoilers for the film and talk of potential assualt

Like from the beginning he was sort of "this is a kid "towards her. He tells damon he should leave, that his daughter is scared. Though that was also self preservation. He easily could have shot her in the back as she ran and he simply shrugged and let his gun hang off his finger. When she talks about going to the mercs he gives her the brutal honesty of the situation. That shes a young girl all on her own and that the implication is that they would try and assault her if she went to them alone with no ability to harvest by herself. He listens to her talk about her joy of reading, her favorite book, and how she likes to rewrite the scenes. Even remarking that he'll have to read it some day. He also talks lowly of her father, who was indeed an asshole. Which I find kind of funny because he (spoilers) literally killed her dad yet he reprimands him for not keeping his daughter in the loop for jobs of prospecting. He never lies to her or sugar coats thing to keep her put of the loop in favor of saving her feelings because shes a kid. And below are some quotes that I think show this well🥰🥰

"A girl of your age, a child, wanders into a camp of mercs. At the end of the tour what happnes? You appeal to their sympathies? They have none. They are ruthless propiteers. You must have something to offer or they will find something to take from you."

"Now, hold on. I'm keen to make.the case that damon killed himself.-He was trying to steal my thropy cases, what he was trying to do. A man's work is no petty thing. To you, his daughter.....I truly apologize for my contribution to his passing.But he was stealing my entire harvest.And actions like these foment the threat of appropriate reactions. Your Father knew that, and if didn't, then he had no business in the green."

"He didn't tell you anything?It's bad practice keeping you in the dark, if you ask me. A deep partnership is only made so by candid discourse."

Anyways I think ezra is a character whis morals shift through the film from helping see as a source of profit and self preservation to solely making sure she is safe and survived even if he doesnt. While he acknowledges her as a child in a parental adjacent way he sees her more as a partner and doesnt speak down to her but talks to her like an adult.

Coffining Inscription for Countess Xuan of Yicheng, Lady Guo

Guo Huai (d. 296) wife of Jia Chong and mother of Jia Nanfeng. Her entombed stele was found in 1930, in Pinglecun northeast of Luoyang. The translation is by Timothy M. Davis in his book Entombed Epigraphy and Commemoration Culture in Early Medieval China.

Her tabooed name is Huai, courtesy name Yuanshao. She was a native of Yangqu in Taiyuan [Principality]. Her forebearers descended from the mu line of King Ji, a native of Zongzhou, who established the state of Eastern Guo from which [the family] took its surname. Her father, the grand warden of Chengyang [Commandery], had the tabooed name Pei and courtesy name Zhongnan. His virtue exceeded that of others in his era.

During the fifth year of the Qinglong era [237], responding to a propitous time, she was born. Even in childhood she comprehended underlying principles. Lofty and briliant, she overcame [opposition] through mildness; perceptive and intelligent, she understood initiatory mechanisms; reflecting on the future, she stored up wisdom from the past. At age twenty-one she was married to Sire Wu [i.e., Jia Chong]. She was reverent and respectful in making abundant offerings of grain and tranquilly united the families of the domain. When Sire Wu passed away, she personally took hold of the governing of the [ducal] state, evaluated customs and instructions, clarified rewards and punishments, guided [others] with virtue, and set the rites in order. For more than ten years she enjoyed two domains [Lu and Pei], while assisting the consort and the empress, and yet [she still wore] plain vestments with unadored over-dress, and did not apply [cosmetics] to embellish her face.

Her household met with calamity and she encountered an age of multiple difficulties. Cannot she be calledd firm? She broadly assisted others in their hardship. She experienced sixty springs and autumns and in the sixth year of the Yuankang era [296] died in her sleep at her estate. She enjoyed an associate (fuzang) to the north of her splendid husband. The ritual obsequies were the same as those for Sire Wu.

[eregyrn-falls-art]

While driving home from PA yesterday, I took a detour to Bethlehem to meet up with a friend... and ended up taking a wrong turn and getting a little lost west of 476.  Before I realized it and righted myself, I passed the barn at the top (and later the garage at the bottom), and excitedly pulled over to take a pic of the hex signs.

So-called hex signs are a very old Pennsylvania Dutch folk-art tradition, usually found as barn decoration.  While they are sometimes prepared as separate pieces and mounted, the “serious” ones are painted directly onto barns like this.  (The white arches over the window are also a common local feature of barn decoration.)  

There is some controversy over the common English name, “hex sign”, because they don’t actually have anything to do with witchcraft or putting hexes on people... except, I would note, in the very broadest of senses (see below). The popular term comes from what might be a misunderstanding by a scholar who did some early chronicling and interviewing about them. Most of the designs are luck-related in one way or another.  (Supposedly for general luck, happiness, good rain, fertility, welcome, etc.)  As I said above, that sort of propition of good fortune could, if you squinted, sort of be related to invocations in witchcraft (”hex” is related to the German word for witch, “hexe”; and while most people think “hex” means “curse”, it could mean any kind of magic, helpful or harmful).  BUT, the actual makers and users of the folk-art in Pennsylvania undoubtedly do not regard it as “witchcraft” per se.  At most, they may regard them as “folk magic” that they relate to a Christian tradition. (There are some designs with Christian origins or allusions.)  There is one source in Wikipedia that I’d like to follow up with, that suggests the designs may have pre-Christian Alpine origins, which is pretty interesting.

Anyway, it’s silly that I grew up in the Philadelpha area and of course knew about the Pennsylvania Dutch, and hex signs, but we never took the short trip up to drive around the area with the highest concentration of decorated barns.  (They became quite the tourist draw in the early 20th century.)  I’d still like to do that at some point.  

The barn and garage above would have to be on the eastern fringe of that area, and while I’ll try to see if there’s any info on the barn online somewhere, at the moment I don’t know its provenance.  (They may be modern rather than historic.) Nice job on the barn, though!

The discord server is chaos, the bards are at war with the thieves??? When?????

The aspects each own a house that they live in.

The classes are gangs

Propit and Derse are bars(mostly sells juice)

and Skaia is where fighting takes place

The thieves are batmanning it by making plans to take down everyone

The bards and knights aren’t down with that and might be fighting against them
