Well, I said I'd talk about Chartri when Ally and I got there, but the truth is there isn't that much to tell. There are a lot of people here, I guess, to start with. It's all built along Lake Evendim, there's lots of fishing on the shore and that's where the busiest part of the whole city is. There's not a lot of buildings, yet, but there are some. It looks a lot like a big traveling camp right now in most places! I guess it makes sense. Canvas tents don't take a lot of work to put up, but building actual buildings sure does.

I think the whole thing is built in ... sections? The families from the different cities that came here mostly stay together. At least, I think that's what's going on. There are big bonfires at night and I can't understand most of what's being said or anything, but that's okay. Most everyone has been nice enough, and the ones that haven't at least respect Nym enough to stay away.

I don't know. It's not like what I was expecting, but it's not that different, either. I guess it's because Ally and I spent so much time with the Evendim Romani before this. It's like that, but much, much bigger.
