The Cor Empire's expansion continues, yet our plans remain steady. The Eizholz trees were worth the time spent learning to grow, but we face uncertainty on a grander scale. My current focus is preparing for a potential corruption war—more than just archfiends vying for control. Though the gods seem an unlikely threat, we must prioritize defending against a corruption that invades and spreads, particularly to the unwilling. Our age-old enemy presents a constant challenge.
We're fortunate to be able to make a variety of weapons, including those designed against curses, ice, and, more recently, mages. Some of their generals possess magic, so I reluctantly explore this avenue. Defensive protections are a work in progress. Eizholz has provided us with clothing and a new alloy suitable for heat and fire, although requisitions proceed slower than I'd prefer. It's essential to focus on soul protections moving forward. I aim to avoid relying solely on magic, ensuring these efforts can prepare anyone for the trials ahead.
I haven't had the time to create new spells of my own. While some prospects have shown promise, I might need to revisit my grimoire and adjust my roster of spells to make room. Ideally, having students capable of developing more Frostlight spells would be beneficial, but I can't dictate their wills
I don't intend to get deeply involved in the nearby war, but I'm ready to offer shelter if things take a turn for the worse. I'm committed to my preparations for what comes next, even if it feels isolating. People understandably prioritize their own creations, and it might be selfish to expect everyone to stockpile in the midst of this war. However, I'm determined to demonstrate the benefits of foresight. After completing a few more offerings to the Grey Lady and her followers, I'll prepare the ice weapons for this endeavor.
find myself missing Lernia. In moments like these, I yearn for the ability to create portals to visit her and return home in time for tea. While I recall Sugar having a means of contacting us during my time with Aor, I'm uncertain if it still exists. The next opportunity I get, I plan to visit Lernia."

P.s. I'm looking into breathing aids in the form of gems based of something I heard about. Could be good for the suffocating nature of the nethersphere, but also certain plagues.
