The Age of Wonders had died five years ago with the toppling of the Dead King and the destruction of his throne. The fight against the remains of the Dead King’s army was a strange one, if they could even be called an army at this point. “The Bones are still withdrawn from the contested area, that’s-that’s why there were no casualties this week.”

No casualties this week.” She reported, eyes darting between me and her papers. A few soldiers were skimming off the top of the supplies. The woman in charge of picket lines near the Stairway rustled through the papers her subordinate handed her for a second, before meeting my eyes. “So.” I began, once Swann had refused Pays’ offer of a drink. She was followed by a single orc, carrying a few papers. “Tribune Morley.” She responded with a salute, parade perfect as always. I ignored his smug smile in favor of greeting the harried woman who strode into the room. I supposed he could spend an evening digging latrines another day. Well, he wasn’t the worst subordinate I’d ever had. I let out a sigh, before grudgingly screwing the cap back on and setting it on the table. I took a swig, and the sweet taste of a Dormer pale hit my tongue. “Don’t think this gets you off the hook.” I warned him. The man shrugged, before uncorking a flask of something and tossing it across the room to me. “She had to attend to reinforcing some of the defences near Harrow.” “Save it for when Captain Swann arrives.” Ignoring my unamused stare, the man motioned for the two Callowans following him to spread their papers over a table. There had to be some edge case where it was allowed.
Picking up the pieces manual#
I tried to remember if captains could be assigned to manual labor under the latest regulations. “Now what was he doing here? Pretty ballsy to be fucking civies in the command room.” While the fact that it was several miles from the battle lines along the Whitecaps meant that there was little to no danger for any civilians, it did encourage anyone with a gripe to come and plead for royal intervention. The civilian looked as if he wanted to argue, but swallowed it with a bow, and exited the house that had been requisitioned as a command center. “I must attend to my duties as Tribune now. “Mister Ardel, I see no need to intervene in your decision to sell your land without properly surveying it.”Ĭaptain Pays entered the room, followed by a pair of scribes carrying a bundle of papers. And given that half the reason I was here, besides ensuring that the armies had enough supporting Named, was to interact with the public and let people form an opinion of me, I couldn’t even refuse to take visitors. At least when I had been back in Laure they had been circumspect about it. I just hadn’t realized how many people would blatantly plead me to intercede in their favor. When I learned that the fact that I was serving on the front lines was publicized to raise morale in Callow, I completely supported it. “Are you saying that Elderwoman Callan has already made her judgement?” “You’re the Shining Princess! Aren’t you the next Queen? Can’t you overrule her?” The man in front of me continued to whine. I fully trust in her abilities to find a solution to your complaints.” “Once again, Mister Ardel, I believe that this should be taken up with Elderwoman Callan. “It ain’t fair that I didn’t know that the well was there when I sold that land.”

“Look, all I’m saying is that shouldn’t I get a little extra?” The aging farmer in front of me kept pleading. It was barely past Morning Bell and this was the second petition today. Our Emergency Planning Toolkit gives carers and authorities the perfect set of tools to make sure carers have those plans in place.I desperately tried to keep the annoyance off of my face. The new law for carers began its journey through Parliament with no reference to emergency planning.īut, as a result of our campaign, the passing of The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 now means that every local authority and relevant health board must jointly prepare a local carers strategy, and all local authorities must establish an information and advice service for carers.īoth the strategy and information and advice service must include emergency and future care planning for carers. It also called for change to ensure emergency planning was part of the new law for carers’ rights. The answers led to the campaign asking for more support for all unpaid carers to make plans for emergencies such as being admitted to hospital, which meant they couldn’t fulfil their caring role. Those were the questions our Picking up the Pieces campaign asked of carers throughout Scotland. Who will look after your love ones if you can’t be there to look after them? Who will pick up the pieces when you can’t be there?
