The wooden beams Sigarni, and others, worked hard on developing and installing to secure the Westward door still lie strewn about the floor in the Throne Room.

The Royal Janitors, those so greatly equipped to clean up the body parts that lay across the realm of Valorn after an Adventurer uses a cannon for quick transport, cannot clean the Throne Room?

Perhaps the beams are left in hopes of tripping the endless hordes that wish to destroy the final seal and unleash whatever is within. While comical of a solution, I doubt it is correct.

I've yet to hear anything on my designs for the metal frame and door cover. Nearly two cycles have gone by since I spoke to Cody about the plans. Longer still since I trade an extremely rare drink and coin with Kade for the opportunity of a meal with the High Queen.

Patience.

The Shadows wait without fretting, so shall I.
