10.13  The missive was a simple one from the Kingdom of Bitorm, a Lantocracy. The correspondence was neatly labeled and dated and had been going on for eight months now; recent. But the last few messages were…well…
10.13  Bitorm: Respectfully querying Calanfer regarding the subject of bride price.
10.13  Bitorm: Regarding the hand of the 6th Princess, our [Bridal Price Estimates] by our [Matchmakers] have become rather erratic. Can you confirm the following sum? It may be unsuitable for Bitorm at this moment.
10.13  Bitorm: Regarding the hand of the 6th Princess, our [Bridal Price Estimates] by our [Matchmakers] have become rather erratic. Can you confirm the following sum? It may be unsuitable for Bitorm at this moment.
10.13  Bitorm: Of course. We would like to renew our interest in the subject, but Calanfer’s [Diplomat] referred us to the Crown.
10.13  Bitorm: Naturally. Please tender our regards. His Majesty of Illumination is appraised of the subject.
10.13  Translation time. If she were teaching Ellet how to read this, Ielane would have pointed out a few details. Firstly, Calanfer’s people were trained not to confirm that ludicrous number. Bitorm could ask, but it didn’t even matter if Calanfer knew the answer; secrecy was best.
10.13  The [Diplomat] was a good woman; she’d instantly sent Bitorm away rather than give them any clues. They’d further deflected by mentioning crowns. That was a signal that this had to be a discussion by royalty, reserved for high-level topics.
10.13  Bitorm had, naturally, concluded that this was the case as well and signaled that their [King] was willing to be the one discussing the matter.
10.17  “Put the Chandrarian Stitch-folk nations at that table. It says Reneiz, the Lantern Lands—not the same as the Lantocracy of Bitorm, remember—Scaied all at that table.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  “Bitorm. Terandria.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  “My house is a noble one. We will pay for any assistance you are willing to render us. I humbly request sanctuary in the name of the Lantocracy of Bitorm. A [Message] will confirm our identities. As would this.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  The Goblin wannabe [Pilot] sighed. She stood there, rubbing her face, and knew that this wouldn’t end well for her if she intervened. Rags would kill her. It wasn’t her job. She didn’t know them. She had no idea where Bitorm even was.
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  The old man was Lord Olvos Lanight of the Lantocracy of Bitorm. An important man? Fighti eyed the maid striding next to the [Lady] and wasn’t sure. He could certainly pay for the inn, and the Drowned Folk were humoring Lady Calva. They’d even searched for a ship to take her home—but the situation with Lord Olvos had sort of put a hole in their plans.
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “Strike him? That is—Lord Olvos is one of the nobles of Bitorm, Miss Fighti. His roots date back to the Hundred Families of Terandria!”
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “The [Innkeeper]’s nice. What does Bitorm do? What’s House Lanight do? What’s a retainer? Don’t you all work for that old guy?”
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “Miss Fighti, that is a Lumis Lantern Lord of Bitorm! You may not speak to him like—”
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “—I am the Lantern Lord of Lanight. My noble house controls the mithril mines of Bitorm. My armor, my weapons. Your leader knows this.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “How much what? Mithril? Uh, Little Boss didn’t say. So it’s okay. Lantocracy of Bitorm. What do you do with the lanterns?”
Goblin Days (Pt. 5) – Redblade and Lilbrasi  “The Lantocracy is known for our magical lanterns and the powers of their light, Miss Fighti. Across the world. The Lantern Lands of Chandrar were inspired by our ancient customs. This—this leader of your city? Of your unit? Is she a [Commander]? An officer? I am a graduate of Bitorm’s own academies. What is her name? I should like to send her a [Message] expressing my profound gratitude and that of Bitorm.”
