Mia pushed a gold feather back from her face as the words blurred yet again on the page in front of her. She sighed and inserted a small piece of parchment before closing the leather-bound volume. This just wasn’t working, and she stood, concluding that she was unable to muster the required concentration to make Thurn runes legible. A few steps took her to the window, where she could look down on the mountainside. She brought one hand up to massage the bridge of her nose as a small emerald dragon curled it’s way up and around her wrist, it’s tiny face a study in sympathy.
“Well, Io, translating that text is a lost cause right now.” She stated.

As inspired by ChattyDM this morning, with apologies to Steven Brust.
Valabar’s is a renowned restaurant in Jannasberre with exquisite food. It’s a fairly large establishment with impeccable atmosphere, great dining and a quiet, knowledgeable waitstaff. In existence for several hundred years, it’s an experience in the city not to be missed.
You walk down three shallow steps, and if you’re Draegaran (which I’m not) or an exceptionally tall human (which I’m not), you duck your head. When you raise it again, you’re immediately ambushed by the aroma of fresh-baked bread - ambushed, and you surrender. Excerpt from Dzur.
A meal in Valabar’s will be 6 or 7 courses and may include dishes such as steak kabobs, duck breast and frisee salad, halibut with spicy yogurt, veal sweetbreads and their signature dish - a fruit sorbet. Several wines will be served throughout the meal. Dinner here will cost 15 Crowns at a minimum per person dining but no one who visited has ever regretted the cost.
The current Chef Valabar is a Read More »
