(This one might be sliiiiightly political, but the political part is not really the important bit. If it's too political for some reason I'll delete it.)
So, I met two children at the train station today, one boy and one girl, around the …
Zyphora, being a Trill (and much more importantly, one of the few wise enough to recognize the truth in his words) is of tremendous interest to Llesvelt. He sees in her a great opportunity to spread a more proper interpretation of Collectivist ortho…
Llesvelt just thinks of Everiine as a race traitor, and switches between absolutely detesting him for having fallen to the sway of a quasi-civilization and admiring his progress within this barbarian enclave and desperately wanting him to "return" t…
Oberst Adracunin, of the Time Sentinels says, "As Oberst of the Time Sentinel Company, I, Adracunin, officially recognize Senior Officer Llesvelt, of the Order of Cririk, as the Officer in charge of the Politburo, with all the rights, privilege…
Llesvelt is intrigued by this new Librarian he has heard so much about, and wishes quite eagerly to meet with him. From what he has observed in the short while he has been back, the Library seems to be much better organized and staffed than it was y…
Llesvelt never really noticed Eritheyl that much, at all, in general. If he did, he quickly forgot. He does tend to remember the name as someone who moves (or moved) about in the city from time to time, and he has the distinct impression that they d…
Llesvelt thinks of all Gloms pretty much the same way (since he has not interacted with all that many or them, or even wants to), and that is that while their commitment to a primitive sort of semi-collectivism is remarkable for a quasi-civilization…
You should try checking out The Dispossessed at some point, written by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's not that long so it should not take you very long to digest it.
I recently read Bosnia: A Short History, continuing now with Kosovo: A Short History. After that I think I am finally going to finish The Dispossessed.
Also, The Conquest of Bread, Everything is Illuminated, Das Ka…
Llesvelt, a bit like Phoebus, started out radically different than his current incarnation, but the seeds were definitely there. He was a young idealist, a hopeful Cantor apprentice with a great interest in the Light, but without …

I am pretty sure the ceremonial armor design and small banner hanging from the halberd is blue. In any case, I just sent the artist the description, so either it must have been blue or they somehow conflated the two colors.

Actually, we had this discussion before, helluva long time ago. The colors on the uniforms are apparently blue, same as the color on most of the flags (at least those hanging from the halberds). So I would guess the old Sentinel…
