4th day of the Third Hand of the Month of Bakah (11) in the Year 10,157 CA

The city of Schendi left for the Sardar two days ago, and tonight was the first night of the carnival. I spent a few Ahn getting my stall set up the way I like it, then rested at camp. It is deathly cold here, something that I really can't stand for long. I had developed a serious headache the night before, that needed medicinal intervention. I recovered, in time to put away a single gold tarn for my work in the merchant tent on the first day of the fair, and now I need to restock. I have every intention of selling out my wares this fair, as has been done on previous ones. The night brought with it the Ladies Dagger Toss, and I its host. The event went smoothly despite having nearly 21 ladies participating. It was quite a crowd, and Joleana SeVaris won first prize, Jazlyn Devaron second prize, and Alika PxG third. Each of them earned a ship. There were people upset of course about not being able to get there, and I apologize for it. But it was out of my hands. The persons actually responsible are those in the merchant caste that scheduled the events, and caused a tremendous overlap with time constraints placed on. When the event was finished I had a lot of congratulations, and people had fun at my event. That made me proud, because it was my father's event. Even Xan did well, but did not place high enough in the rankings because she missed a shot on the second round. But for a beginner, she did quite well! Afterwards, I took care of the prizes and Lukas Falconaire, my Administrator, wanted to speak to me back at camp about something..he made me his En'Merchant! Now I just pray to the Priest Kings that the power I've been given is used well, and that I can help restore the honor and reputation of the merchant caste, back in my Home Stone. Hail Schendi!
