Update #2 - February 2026

 Another slow week with a little more progress on chapter 2. I wanted Talhaearn to tell a story, and ended up using the first part of the First Branch of the Mabinogi. Now I have to fill out some more travel details, and explain why Caerleon was in ruins. Then I may do a little more fast-forwarding in the next chapter.

More mild dry weather -- highs in the 50s most days, lows in the 20s. I would not be eager to shovel snow, but we badly need some moisture.
