Kallyr invited Varanis, and thus Berra, up to show baby Berra to the court. There, Kallyr announced Varanis was her preferred heir, and baby Berra after that. Then there was a feast, at which Berra spotted Gunda the Guilty, but did not clue Varanis in about it until afterwards. Eril was kind enough to let Berra sit and eat, taking her place on guard. Berra worked out that this gave him a good view of Gunda and let him protect at least one heir while also staying on his feet for quick reactions. She was hardly rude about him going grey at all. Later she reminded her lord that she knew Harrek, in case that was useful.
There were lots of small bits of admin; Berra and Varanis saw Tennebris to organise going to see Queen Leika with the new heir, and they all went off to take baby Berra to her home in the Blue Tree, with Yehna. Kalis arrived there with a priestess, the mother of Yehna’s new lover, who just happened to be looking for a place to be Ernalda. Kalis also performed some huge Earth magic, creating basic earth walls for the village.
Berra organised guards from among the Malani Humakti, as well as the warriors of the village, but left most of the decisions with Chief Dogva.
After dealing with all of that, Berra went to see the ducks, asking them if any could find her magic for water-breathing, and promising them a finders’ fee if they did.
