Shiv to Satyan, Re: Substituting Wild Orbshrooms In Nan's Recipe

It was not until after Satyan Windblown left that Nanguu Hearthstone told me why they gave him their recipe for stuffed orbshroom nubs. They, like Satyan and I, want to know just how much these marvelous fungi can do. I think Nan, out of all of us, has the highest hopes for this humble fungal.

Shiv to Satyan, Re: Substituting Wild Orbshrooms In Nan's Recipe

My Dearest Satyan,

I am very pleased to hear that you have arrived at Tiptown LTL safely. I am even more pleased to hear that you managed to collect some samples along the way. I know that Nan, too, will be glad to hear that your experiments on their recpie can begin in just a few short weeks.

We are all so excited over the possibilities suggested by the tests we've conducted here at the Inn. If your field tests continue to support my hypothesis, then it seems only logical to proceed with testing in the worst ecological disaster known to the living world: the Caldera.

Nan is especially interested in how quickly your wild samples cultivate when planted side-by-side with the domestic samples we sent along with you. Being able to grow anywhere is good. Being able to quickly grow anywhere is better. Being able to quickly grow anywhere and filter the environment as it does so...is obviously the best thing we could ever hope for.

In the meantime, do please send along a recounting of your experience in the wall district! I never got to go when we visited with Mother and Father, I was always too busy accompanying them to all the duties, or filling in when they were overbooked. I know, I know, you remember.

Send along news as soon as you have time, and remember that I love you, you squalling brat!

Your annoying sister, Shiv

Dearest Sister,

So much has happened on this journey, that I haven't time to relay it all just now. I promise, the next time I see you, I will tell you all about my trip to the wall district in Central Tilth. But it is best saved for a face-to-face conversation. I'll be able to draw you a better picture in such circumstances. Suffice to say, I was envious and found it much more lively than I had first anticipated.

I am much more keen to tell you about my journey from Capitalla to Tilth aboard Threebl's Inspiration and how irritated I am that you did not tell me beforehand of the ship's notorious history! ...
