6. Minalan fights his way down the Farisian Penninsula to Farise where he helps to overthrow The Mad Mage of Farise, Orril Pratt.
7. After being released from service atthe end of the Farisian campaign, Minalan takes up the life of a mercenary warmage.
8. Minalan "retires" from war magic six months later to become a Spellmonger in Minden's Hall, takes Tyndal as apprentice
9. Minden's Hall is attacked by the first wave of a massive Gurvani invasion. Minalan gains his witchstone by conquest while defending the village.
10. Minalan meets Alya by saving her life and that of her brother-in-law Sagal from a small Gurvani force. He uses the still tainted witchstone to heal Sagal's arm.
11. Minalan travels to Amadia, with the hedgemage Zagor, to consult with the Tree Folk and meets the Aronin and his daughter Ameras.  The Aronin cleanses the witchstone and gives the stone the ability to cleanse other stones. The Aronin reveals just how large a threat the Gurvani represent.
12. Minalan uses the Otherworld to contact his old friend Pentandra to ask for help in recruiting professional warmagi.
13. Minalan travels to the town of Tudry to recruit several groups of mercenaries and buy additional supplies.
14. Boval Castle is entirely surrounded and besieged by tens of thousands of goblins. Minalan gains several more witchstones and distributes them among the local magi, Garkesku and his three apprentices and Minalan's own apprentice, Tyndal. During this time, Minalan meets Alya again and they grow close. She eventually ends up pregnant.
15. Urik, Garkesku's youngest apprentice, goes mad from the power of the irionite he was given and attacks the other magi. Urik and Garkesku's oldest apprentice die as a result, a large blow against Boval Castle's magical defense.
16. Minalan meets Gurkarl, a captured gurvan, who informs Minalan about Shereul and is eventually the first gurvan to set eyes upon the sacred cavern and molopar beneath Castle Boval.
17. The castle is breached by the gurvani mining under the walls and Sire Koucey blames Minalan for not foreseeing the action. Minalan sets out to destroy the tunnel entrance and meets a powerful gurvan shaman being possessed by Shereul himself.  Only the timely arrival of Pentandra and about a 19 warmagi save his life.
18. With Sire Koucey growing more unreasonable, partly due to Garkesku's lies about Minalan and the cause of Urik's rebellion, Minalan eventually leads a peasant's rebellion when Koucey imprisons Pentandra.
19. After hunting down as many gurvani shamans as they can find to gain irionite for all the warmagi and then some,  Minalan and Pentandra devise an escape using the molopar and sex magic, allowing all the people of Boval Vale to escape to Inarion Academy.
20. The warmagi, Minalan and Pentandra, having been left behind to power the spell and escape on their own, encounter Shereul in person when he hurries to Boval Castle at detecting the activation of the molopar.  Only the intervention of the Aronin and his most powerful spellsingers allow the group to escape. Sire Koucey, who refused to abandon his keep decided to fight to the death in his home's defense, is captured by Shereul. The Aronin is presumed to have been killed.

## Journeymage

•The book opens with the Royal Wedding— where a bored Minalin chats with Pentandra mind-to-mind while they observe Prince Tavard and Princess Armandra exchange their vows. The Spellmonger’s mind is on the promise he gave to the Kasari, in exchange for their aid during last Spring’s campaign in Gilmora: to lead their youngest and most vulnerable out of a war zone and into Castal.

•While there, Minalin sees Anguin (now called The Orphan Duke of Alshar) in the crowd of wedding guests. He decides on the spot to help Anguin —partly out of guilt for his unintended role in the death of the boy’s father, and partly because the Magi are falling out of favor in Royal Court. He bids (a highly skeptical) Penny to make arrangements to meet the Orphan Duke.

•After the wedding ceremony (and a tense meeting with Rard, where Minalin is reamed for his role in The Battle of the Red Ice,) Pentandra and Minalin visit Anguin at a nearby monastery, where the boy has been sequestered for the last four years. He proves to be intelligent and engaging. He’s also resentfully acceptant of his fate as a pawn of the Royal House. Minalin gives him an impassioned speech about how much Northern Alshar needs him, and suggests The Arcane Orders can help restore him to a portion of his patrimony. He cautions Anguin that —though political enemies are everywhere— allies can be also found in the strangest of places. He counsels that helping the Kasari now may pay dividends in the future.

•Anguin, in turn, names Minalin a Marshal of Alshar, and gives permission for the Spellmonger to escort the Kasari children out of Bransei Mountain and through the most war-torn region of his broken Duchy.

• Despite the King’s promise that Castal will shelter those fleeing the Gurvani Invasion, Duke Tavard has closed his borders to anyone who can’t pay for the privilege of entering his Duchy. A move that King Rard tacitly endorses (or, at the very least, isn’t concerning enough to confront his son over.)

•Due to the current political climate in Castal, Minalin finds himself in a position where he’s forced to deceive his overlord, Duke Tavard, in order to fulfill his charge. So he proposes to their Majesty’s that he build several pele towers in the far north: small, fortified bases of operation that will aid the Iron Band in patrolling the Penumbra. The King agrees, and gives him 5,000 ounces of gold to fulfill his commission. That also gives Minalin a pretext upon which to vacate the children of Bransei Mountain, and a workforce to construct the towers.

•Narasi nobility (especially Wilderlords) are notoriously distrustful of the Kasari on basic principle, which will make relocating the 2000 children particularly challenging once they leave Brandsei’s protected lands. Minalin knows that —to do this right— it will require months of meticulous planning.

## Enchanter

Cliff notes provided by "The Ghost Rock" on discord. (Invite link on front page of wiki)

1.    Pentandra gets married and is gifted the second largest piece of irionite in the kingdom, a fusion of her original stone and one of the Spellmonger’s 7. Minalan also gives her a highly-enchanted baculus he crafted from the werewood staff he stole from Lady Mask. During the Magic Fair Planus throws Pentandra a raucous wedding celebration.

2.    The theme of the Magic Fair is Enchantment. Magelord Dunselen, now Baron of Greenflower and Head of the Tarkarine Order, attends events and seminars pertaining to that ancient art. Lady Isily, recently made Baroness after her wedding to Dunselen, travels to Sevendor with her new husband, where Minalan does his best to avoid her.

3.    Minalan negotiates a truce with members of The Royal Censorate, whose order was dissolved and remade into The Knights of Nablus at the behest of Duke Andrastal of Merwyn.

4.    Isily follows Min into the Snowflake chamber. There, she paralyzes him, rapes him, and casts a blue magic spell on Minalan.

5.    Ishi, Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Feminine Sexuality frees him and —despite Minalan’s concerns— he agrees to make her manifestation permanent.

6.    Due to the trauma of what Isily did, a depressed Minalan throws himself into his work as a way of avoiding what happened. He forms a Bouleuterion in Sevendor (a convocation of Enchanters, who work together to hone their abilities and push the limits of enchanting.)

7.    Alya announces a third pregnancy.

8.  On Yule, Duke Anguin travels to Vorone to reclaim his lands, Pentandra takes up the title of Court Wizard of Alshar.

9.    Tyndal and Rondall successfully rescue Ruderal in Solashaven, and bring him to Sevendor, where he starts his magical training

10.    Pentandra warns Minalan that Ishi is interfering in Vorone’s political scene, and causing chaos (while simultaneously helping to quell unrest in the city.)

11.    Sashtalia, a neighboring domain of Sevendor, learns of the construction of Min’s new castle and sends a representative: Sire Cullien of Rolone. After a tense meeting, Minalan begins courting the lords of several Sashtali domains closest to Sevendor, to see if they’d be interested in vassalage to avoid the upcoming war between Sashtalia and Sendaria.

12.    Minalan successfully avoids direct action in the war by purchasing several small mountain holdings from Sashtalia. It becomes known as The Wall of Gold in the Bontal Vales

13.    After losing 6 domains (and their combined military power) to Minalan, Sire Cullien retaliates by carrying out a clandestine massacre on Amel Wood (one of the domains gifted to Minalan with his investiture as Baron,) Lorcus is made Lord of the small fief, so Sevendor can retaliate without Minalan being “directly” involved— which keeps him out of the greater war.

14.   Over the course of two weeks, Lorcus captures several domains in the name of Amel Wood: including 3 fortified towers and the city of Rolone itself. Rolone Castle is one of the 2 major fallback points for the Lord of Sashtalia (and contains his war chest,) so Lorcus’s efforts cripple the Sashtali war effort.

15.   While in Wilderhall to submit Lorcus’s writ of conquest, Minalan meets with Princess Rardine, who is distraught over her mother’s designs to marry her off quickly (so she is not seen as a threat to her brother Tavard’s eventual rule as King.) Min sees an opportunity to cultivate a political relationship with her, and after a surprisingly frank conversation, attempts to counsel her.

16.    Minalan and Alya attend the Chepstan Fair for the first time in two years.

18.    A desperate Pentandra invites Minalan and Alya to a masque Anguin is throwing, so he can help dissuade Ishi from damaging the restoration effort. While there, Min learns that Isily cast a Blue Magic spell on Alya during the Sevendor Magic Fair. After speaking with Ishi, she agrees to remove the spell on Alya (ensuring Ishi’s Night in Vorone would spread to Sevendor albeit a slightly less powerful version.)

19.    Lady Mask tries to kill Lorcus and Minalan at castle Rolone; Dara saves them and nearly kills Mask. Minalan’s witchsphere is cracked and is given to Onranion and others to repair/improve.

20.    With the help of Ruderal, Minalan and his wizards copy the Celestial Mother’s enneagram from the Grain of Pors, imbuing it into the Snowflake.

21.    The High Magi travel to Castabriel for the annual Convocation of the Arcane Orders. While there, Northern Alshar is raided by goblins in a concerted effort to push through their defenses while its protectors are away.

22.    Minalan explains that the 21 “Seven Stones” can be used to travel the Ways. Gareth, in turn, reveals that he accidentally learned to use the Ways a few months ago, and teaches the other High Magi how to do it.

23.    By using the Alkan waypoints, the Magi of Alshar are able to respond to the attack quickly and decisively.

24.   After a long night of strategic transport, Minalan goes to bed. He falls into a disquieting set of dreams and nightmares, from which he is suddenly awakened with an overpowering sense that something is wrong in Sevendor. Gareth, Dara, and Minalan arrive back home, just in time to save his family from an attack by Lady Mask and half thwart an attempted robbery in his tower by Alka Alon Enshadowed operatives.

25.    She steals/'borrows-for-a-spell' his War Staff (it has a waypoint stone)

26.    After they capture Lady Mask she reveals Isily is double dealing with the Ensahdowed and Goblins

27.    Isily gives birth to a son, Istman.

28.    Minalan talks to his father at the behest of Zagor and Olmeg

29.    This conversation forces him to reveal the Isily problem to his wife

30.    His wife instigates the first Mage war since the Magocracy

31.    Dunselen and Isily are ambushed at Castle Salisus in the heart of their barony, Greenflower.

32.    It is revealed Dunselen came close to recreating snowstone (made several unique substances, culminating in bluestone, which has a connection to the Other World)

33.    Minalan and his most trusted warmagi have a showdown with Isily atop Salisus, they are unable to penetrate her defences, until Alya runs into the fray. Using her power Isily snatches Alya, laughing as the Baroness of Sevendor’s mundane weapon dissolves. Defiantly Alya destroys a witchstone connected to Isily’s mind abruptly and suddenly ending the battle.

34.    While most survive the Greenflower Magewar, Isily’s mind is utterly destroyed and Alya is left maimed, capable of only the most basic of functions.

35.    Baron Arathanial wins the war in Sashtalia. He also agrees to give Sevendor several lands and domains in exchange for most of Rolone. Min reveals to Sire Cei that Alya has lost her mind.

## Court Wizard, Event Notes

### Three Part Prologue

a) Antimei and Alurra lived near Tolindir, in a croft beneath an outcropping that later becomes the City of Vanador. Years earlier, Alurra’s eyes were burned by a goblin shaman’s spell, her last sight was of her parents being led away in ropes. Alurra had grown to become a powerful brown mage, able to bi-locate into any animal. Antimei shared that thirty years earlier she developed a powerful and rare talent for prophecy. After giving a prophecy that led to a vision of the goddess Ishi, she decided to sacrifice her life for a higher purpose. Fear of the dreaded Censorate drove Antimei to leave her husband and three children in Inmar and escape to the distant Wilderlands. She gives many prophecies to Alurra in the form of stories, Antimei also collects her prophecies in the form of poetry, writing them into a book disguised as Alkan poetry translations.

b) In far Vorone, once fair, now in fallen estate lived Dowager Baroness Amandice. She had many liaisons with the noblemen at the court of Alshar. That was until, Amandice seduced the young heir to the Alshari throne, Lenguin. She became his lover; until she fell pregnant and Lenguin married Enora. Amandice told society that the young boy, Gydion, was the son of her maid. When Lenguin eventually returned to Vorone, Duchess Enora unofficially banished Amandice from the court. When Gydion was seven years old, he was sent to Castal to be squires to a tournament knight. After many years and much effort, Amandice organized a meeting with Lenguin, until he went to war and died. As a final act, she invoked the goddess Ishi giving herself over to possession, and to her surprise, Ishi accepted.

c) Ishi, Goddess of Love and Beauty, possessed the body of Amandice, styling herself as Lady Pleasure. She then set about building the Hall of Flowers, the foremost whorehouse in Vorone and all the Wilderlands. Ishi left no detail to chance, she educated and trained her maidens with all the knowledge and etiquette one would expect in ladies of the court.
