The Glaesen Star

A bit of silliness on the inauguration of the glaesine/glaesineth schism, spurred by someone asking on Discord why The Glaesen Star had a third, unknown adjective...

"Oi! You up there! You spelled it wrong!"

Taarl, proud with how the little final swoop on the R was shaping up, realized he was
the target of the shout. Pausing in his brushwork, he craned his neck downward. "Eh?"

The small figure of a dwarf below was not easy to see from his angle, but he caught the
dour look about her. "You have spelled the name wrong!"

Taarl took a careful step back on the scaffolding to behold his progress on the name of 
the new ship. Surely that was right, wasn't it? THE GLAES-- oh. No. A bead of sweat 
began its journey down Taarl's back. "Er--" he shouted down, attempting nonchalance, 
"no, this is how they say it!"

This did not have the desired effect. "How WHO says it?"

Taarl blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "Elves?"

"The elves? Say it, as written, in Common, with a Common 'e'?"

"The, um -- the gnomes?"

"My sister married a gnome. I holiday with Aledotters. Talked up many a fine gnome on
metalcraft. I've never heard it nor seen it that way."

"It, er, um how many 'e's?"

This brought a longer, somehow testier pause from the dwarf below. Taarl had never met
this particular dwarf, but her stern stance was looking uncomfortably official. "Young
dwarf, exactly which words are you attempting to imprint upon our magnificent new 
vessel?"

Taarl had taken this moment to come up with one idea. "Glaesi--" he began, interrupted 
by a terribly convenient coughing fit. He hurried to turn back to his work.

She was unfazed by this gambit. "The Glaesine Star?" She firmly emphasized the "ine."

Well, that hadn't exactly worked. Double bother. "No, er, Glaes... en."

"What in the name of Eonak's mithril grip is 'glaesen'? And why in the name of his beard-
blistering furnace would it be permanently disfiguring our vessel?"

Panic gripped Taarl. "That's the name! Says right here on my order sheet, where'd I put 
that order sheet... hrm, I remember, by order of--" No. No, this wasn't going to work 
either. More small figures were joining the first. Fingers were being pointed. Arms were
waving.

With a pit in his stomach, Taarl placed the brush back in its slot, resealed the lid,
and fastened the enruned chamber that held the paint. The paint, was the thing. Very 
pinnacle of the new alchemy, they'd said. A dye for the ages. It was guaranteed never 
to come off. Not in rain, not through storm, not through a thousand voyages to and from 
the mainland.

The thick trees have muted the sounds of the outside world, and a tranquil impression has settled through the plush green area.  Very thin rays of sunlight creep through the dense canopies above, creating a soft haze among the foliage.  The quiet voice of a bird chirps from nearby.

A ring of broad trees encircles a spacious clearing, its whole landscape covered in effervescent green grass and vibrant flowerbeds.  The melody of chirping birds can periodically be heard against the trickling of an unseen stream close by.  The entire forest dell is bathed in a warm glow.  You also see a tall apple tree, some porch steps leading up to an old wooden cabin and a small birdseed bowl.

Walls of smoothed maoral enclose the small cabin, and the sun shines in through a large glass window, lighting and warming the room.  A weathered black cloak hangs from a tall wooden rack, while a highly polished veil iron shield is mounted above a dusty iron cooking pot.  A round sephwir table has been situated between two tall mossbark chairs.
