In the area:
Suddi (short elf people we met)
Saerdi (snake people)
Lots of skin changers (taurs mainly, herbivores mainly, magical mutants)
We are aligning ourselves with the Sashun family. We're working for them allegedly. They're not in or out of favor.
Saludi family is currently ruling.
Saloom family is next in line (2nd most powerful. A bit of a threat to the queen since they want the crown)
Sulmil family was the previous ruler. They've fallen out of status since. They're not taken seriously anymore bc of their antics and don't have a lot of power.
Caste color order: gold, red, blue, purple, green, black, white, teal, magenta.
Even in the relaxed evening, there's an alertness in everyone's actions. Everyone's a little wary of one another, especially where caste colors intersect. It's more obvious in the poorer outskirts, but more veiled and classy near the wealthier areas. Every group seems to be a threat to one another. No one has the "big guns". No one seems to fully trust one another. Individualist culture.
There is a festival tomorrow.
I have a dream about an old necklace. It's old, golden, and the charms are two wings and the body of a dragon. Jukka is holding it, and it seems to be the object he pick-pocketed. He was drawn to it for some reason, and a woman's loving voice in a language i don't know seems to come from it. Jukka was not aware of the voice on a physical level, it was more like a siren's thrall.
Salphon is taking us to the festival, and apparently murders happen often in the city, even during celebrations.
