☆*:.｡.o Greenwood Legacy o.｡.:*☆

while i wasn't able to screenshot it....not too long after georgie's birthday, isabelle came to the greenwoods' house. she took leslie aside, and revealed she had gotten pregnant. leslie told his parents, and suffice to say they didn't take it well.

john was absolutely incensed, and their conversation quickly turned to an argument. how could his son do that? not only is it disrespectful to isabelle and her family, but theirs too.

john stormed out to his work, and left dealing with it to mary.

left to pick up the pieces, mary invited of isabelle. she loved her almost as much as her own children, after all. usually a teen pregnancy, at this time, would end with the daughter being sent away and the child adopted, if kept. mary didn't want that for her, and certainly the josephs didn't either.

together they planned how to deal with it. neither of them was far from adulthood, so she organized for izzy and leslie to get their own home quickly after they graduated. moving them out quietly and somewhat far away seemed the best option.

First day of the family away from the countryside and you already can see how different the sisters are.

Violet graduated with honors, was class valedictorian, and was voted Most Likely to Have a Big Family, which I suspect she resented. Past performance is no indicator of future returns!

The celebration quickly fell apart when everyone exited via a different door,

which allowed Violet to sneak home (she hates the outdoors, remember?) as I tried in vain to form a group out of these numbskulls. Jake first formed a group with Wilona; then I had the kids ask to join. This went fine when son Val joined, but when Velma joined, Wilona the loner immediately bailed on the grounds that the group now contained "too many people."

YOU are half the source of the too many people, Wilona! God!

All right, to hell with Wilona then. I had long ago placed a fishing hole next to city hall, so I was not surprised when she wandered over to it and began fishing in her formalwear.

Well, no matter. The rest of the family will just go on without--oops, without Wilona and without Velma, actually, because Velma got spicy with her dad due to her having awakened that morning with a mood swing. She accused her father of having "some issues" and checked out.

No problem, Velma; you can just stick around City Hall and chat up random strangers. Doesn't that sound fun?

...maybe for her it was fun.

By this time, Violet was halfway home. I finally got her grouped up with the remainder of the family and sent them all for a nice dinner out. Then they went to see the Facekicker movie; everyone loved it except Vivienne. Yawn.

But congratulations, Violet. You made it!

You're doubtless sick of the whole big-family scene, but how would you feel about taking your sisters along with you when you move out? Just putting that out there. Please don't rule it out right away. Think on it first! Just consider it.

As Edith’s pregnancy progressed, both she and Albert became more excited at the prospect of a new baby. A large, happy family was something they had both dreamt of. Although Albert was less inclined to socialising than Edith, he still enjoyed filling their house with children and love.

While Albert was teaching, Edith spent her time looking after the house and Susie, and entertaining her friends. Florence Greenwood was her closest local friend, often popping over for some tea and a chat. Edith was happy to share the news of her impending arrival, and even happier to find out that Florence was also expecting.

BG3 Drow Lore 🕷️ Minthara's alurlssrin

Alurlssrin is a drow term Minthara uses to describe the bond she shares with Tav - but what does it precisely mean?

🕷️ Alurlssrin In BG3 - alurlssrin appears in some specific Minthara’s lines, when the player character romances her. According to Narrator, it is …a word used rarely, describing the deepest bonds of trust and love.

When asked about it, Minthara says simply that alurlssrin means “love” and confesses that she never really expected to use it. In another line, she seems to be convinced that alurlssrin is the kind of bond that can be life-lasting.

When Tav tries to reciprocate, saying: I alurlssrin you too, Minthara – with a hint of amusement – explains that alurlssrin is a noun.

The alurl- part may suggest that this word means “the best” kind of an emotional bond, or something close to it (alurl – “best, foremost” in Drowic).

🕷️ Alurlssrin And Ssinssrigg - in R. A. Salvatore’s The Legacy, it is stated that …there is no word in the drow language for love. The closest word (...) is ssinssrigg, but that is a term better equated with physical lust or selfish greed.

Ssinssrigg is another term that appears in one of Minthara’s lines, when the player character romances her, but does not have her high approval. She says then: What we share is no more than ssinssrigg, a passion that burns fierce, but has no foundation.

But... since according to drow lore, there is no word for “true” love in Drowic – and the closest term is ssinssrigg - where did alurlssrin come from?

🕷️ Drow Words For Love - alurlssrin was first mentioned by Ed Greenwood in his post (TheEdVerse, Twitter, Jan. 2023) about Eilistraee and drow words for love:

Eilistraee knows all the drow words for love, and the elvish ones, too. The Drow words are: alurlssrin = unselfish, deep love, raggath = act of love (lovemaking), lurraggath = act of love (sacrificial or noble deed), ssinssrigg = passion, lust, greed, longing, love.

(Among elvish words for love, apparently also known to Eilistraee, there is nor = love, essence of passion. It also appears in one of Minthara's lines, when she calls her lover ust-nor - thank you to @vspin for messaging me about this!)

It seems, then, that alurlssrin is a drow word that is known to Eilistraee and most likely to her followers...

...but Lolth-sworn drow – or at least Menzoberranyr drow – do not know / use it. 🤔 So how is it possible that Minthara, a (former) paladin of Lolth from Menzoberranzan, is familiar with it?

🕷️ Alurlssrin In Minthara's Vocabulary

I have a feeling that alurlssrin appears in Minthara’s lines simply because a drow word for deep, true love was needed for the dialogue. Still, I tried to come up with some more lore-adequate explanations:

🕷️ Some Very Old Word – perhaps in Menzoberranzan, alurlssrin is a half-forgotten archaism that is no longer regularly used, but an educated (or bookwormish) drow can still stumble across it in centuries-old books and figure out its meaning.

🕷️ Language Of Heretics – as a paladin of Lolth, it is possible that Minthara came to contact with Eilistraeans – or with their culture – at some point. She might be even trained to recognize this particular kind of “heresy”, learning symbols and words popularly used among the followers of Eilistraee... alurlssrin included.

🕷️ Not So Unknown Anymore – language tends to change over time, and between the quote from The Legacy and the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, there is a gap of over 130 years. Maybe during this time, alurlssrin term became less unknown in Menzoberranzan? Although considering its connection to Eilistraee and her cult, this may be the least likely explanation.

Regardless of everything, the fact that Minthara calls the bond between her and Tav alurlssrin is certainly meaningful. Typically, many drow like her might not be exactly (or at all) familiar with a sheer concept of deep, unselfish, lasting love...

Posting Schedule

I typically post story updates/episodes on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I post in the mornings (US CST) and reblog in the evenings.

Author's Note:

This story has been a labor of love, writing is a hobby and so is gaming. Combining the two has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. I am thankful to you for enjoying this hobby with me. Writing urban fiction using the sims, for me, will forever be inspired by mochasims, rest in paradise, dear friend. Mocha created a community for Black storytellers where one didn't exist anywhere in the Sims Community and paved the way for other Black writers to follow with her epic tale of Men and Stilettos and of course Kasim's adventures!

I will be forever grateful for the safe space she created to tell real, Black ass stories. Much love sis.

REF5: Lords of Darkness (1988) continues the format of the Books of Lairs, though under the Forgotten Realms setting banner (this is one of the first wave FR books, in fact!). Instead of any monsters, though, Lords focuses exclusively on the undead. Like, all of them — skeletons, ghouls and ghasts, shadows, wights, a mummies, spectres, vampires, ghosts and a lich. Because the list of critters is shorter, the encounters are all longer, really more like short adventures, really. Most of the undead are fully realized NPCs rather than generic foes, which broadens their tactics, their potential weaknesses and still feels like a noteworthy detail even five years after Ravenloft laid out the appeal of richly rendered foes. There’s also a section on methods of dealing with the undead, which is quite fun and detailed, and new spells for necromancers, because of course there are.

The adventures themselves are…fine? I feel like they are more interesting as artifacts of the early days of the Realms, as the published record was rapidly establishing a world that echoes Greenwood’s private realm. Most are just passing references. Some fade into history, others (like the references to Ravens Bluff) feel emblematic of the time. Some would have long legacies, like the Nether Scrolls, which are introduced here. Jennell Jaquays’ is probably the most interesting, as it riffs a bit on I2: Tomb of the Lizard King, with a lizard man mummy instead of a lizard man vampire. The vampires, the brothers Jonathan and Jeremiah Morningmist, have excellent, Ravenloft-y names, too.

Karl Waller is the interior artist, though he doesn’t get nearly enough space (he’d go on to gorgeously define Al-Qadim). Cover by Jeff Easley. That man is aces at painting skeletons, I tell ya. Its delightfully autumnal, too.
