Sadly, I whacked a bunch of characters before they ever received names. Except for Franco. Alas, Franco, your name, and the entirety of your plot, are gone. Unless you become Much, much older, a bit more Japanese, and a lot more dead.
Also removed was the overall arc in which Senhor Baur was most enamored. It’s still there, and lives on as a backdrop to the 20 +3 sections listed above. But I’m afraid that trying to force it into this part of the chronicle would do disservice to both.
Once this one is off and away, then I’ll get into the Crusade of Shadows.
That is indeed a title.
Time for sleep, now. Will write more tomorrow.
