welp I had a CSIV update typed out and then Chrome updated while I had it in sleep mode so whoops, let's try to recreate where I am up to now
Let's see, I completed a sidequest in Raquel where I had to make a fish pie for a cantankerous soldier. We left for the northern part of Lamare. We decide to go toward Alster and the mines, although Fie makes a mental note of Jurai being in the other direction at the fork, since that's Crow's hometown. We run into Gustaf hiding from an Imperial military truck, and then we find a rest area along the way.
In the lodge, we chew the fat over North Ambria being Sara's home and Alster being Olivert's home when we're interrupted by a woman named Lucy, who's from Remiferia. The brunette traveling with her is awfully suspicious of us, but Fie and Ash call her out on her fishy story, too. Edel happens to be running the lodge here, although the game describes her as a green-haired woman for some reason despite being clearly blonde. Turns out Edel's father is a minor viscount in this region. I had kinda forgotten she was a noble even though you have to fight her in CS1! Edel tells us that there's been black Pleroma Grass spotted in the Alster area, and those two women we just met are headed there, too, so we'll run into them again, more than likely. We can also give Edel our superb dishes now.
I guess I'll go ahead and post this so I don't lose everything again!
