Congratulations to Alwen

O Viceroy of the Circle of Sixteen Shadows,   I’m consulting in at least two wars, three monarchies, three earth-shattering proprietary magical research projects, and I’ve ended up with three apprentices, two kids, and an ancient Osyr soul-bonded to me. Also a dragon told me to come visit sometime.   Congratulations and you’re keeping this position. I’m too busy to do it and if some fool meant to name me instead of you, he should have all four of his funny bones flicked for piling onto an old wizard instead of you, my brilliant and bashful apprentice.   So you’re keeping it or you’re finding someone less busy to hand it off to. And if you look around and find that no one else would do quite as good a job as one of us…then maybe you can finally see what someone else saw in you.   Tira will tell you whatever you need to know about what’s happening here. I’m glad to have sent family back in your direction even though it hurts to see them go. I don’t want any of us to have to be truly alone. Spend some time with Hella; you'll love her and you'll be good for each other.   Here’s a piece of magic for you to play with - I learned it from a fae who learned it from a troll. I can only use it to shift small things but you…if I ever need to relocate my villa maybe you’ll be able to help me.   Heiassa   P.S. If Ikshafael wanted me to hold that position he would have told me.
