THE TRIP TO VALNOR A DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH!
WARMTH AND HOSPITALITY SURROUNDS THE KALAHARI CONTINGENT!
KING CHARMS ALL IN VALNOR!
COMMERCIAL TREATY NEGOTIATED
The history of nations and their relations is filled with conflict, rancor, and hatred. Rulers rise and fall, soldiers fight and die, civilians suffer, societies crumble. How much sadness is generated by this sort of conflict, disagreement, and misunderstanding.
It is therefore a great pleasure for the Chronicles to report that two nations stand out from this brutal and vicious cycle of pain and suffering, and even more, that they do so peacefully and with a great sense of sisterhood and brotherhood.
The Sisterhood of Valnor, and Mamlakat Kalahari share some national characteristics: a love of beauty, extraordinary rulers, the importance of hard work and loyalty, productivity from every citizen and slave, But differences are there as well: though both nations can easily defend themselves against aggressors, Valnor emphasizes its military component more than the Kingdom. Valnor is older and more populous than Kalahari. And most significantly, Valnor celebrates female dominance, while Kalahari is led by a strong and able King. (Hmm female dominance what a marvelous idea! Oh, no the King is a reader! Just teasing, Your Highness. ahahaha.)
Yet every difference can be surmounted when nations, and their rulers enter into a relationship seeking equality, justice, and fairness for both parties. And so it was, when the powerful Sisterhood of Valnor welcomed a diplomatic contingent from Kalahari Kingdom. The Kalahari contingent gathered at the Delicious Syrup Inn, excited and curious, nourished by the delicious food prepared by Manager Cindy.

Waiting for us in Valnor was the beautiful Goddess Phaedra Sautereau, whose powerful influence was felt in every detail of our visit, especially the warmth and hospitality with which we were greeted.

Our gracious hosts showed us many delightful aspects of their land, including this lovely stream, surrounded by the well cared for buildings, bridges, and windmills

| Beautiful! |
But the Highlight of the tour was the females' visit to the Temple of the Goddess, while the King worked on the details of the commercial treaty with Head Merchant Shura Sharpesworth. Queen Vi, Princess Livia, and Minister Afraa, in particular, were stunned with the magnificent elegance of the Temple.

By the end of the day, the Kalaharians had been nourished in every way--beauty, warm hospitality, food and drink--and made their happy way home to the Kingdom. The King and the Goddess made a joint announcement that a commercial treaty had be signed, in which Valnor and Kalahari exchanged carts of G&S goods to be on sale at each other's nation.
Our warmest thanks go out to Goddess Phaedra Sautereau, Head Merchant Shura Sharpesworth, High Priestess Broken Swords, Scribe/Librarian Lady Izlix, and all of the residents and slaves of Valnor, and we eagerly await their visit to our humble but welcoming land.
AND SPECIAL THANKS TO LADY IZLIX WHO MADE ALL THE ARRANGEMENT FOR OUR TRIP

In an amusing postscript to the day, slave Tasme wandered into the Abydos Pyramid and was foolishly trapped and injured.
