And Conclave concludes with a bang

Chapter 11 is posted.  I've not heard from a number of usual readers about the last chapter and I have lots to say about visuals and such, but for now,  here it is, and I hope you'll share your thoughts.

I wanted to share this, courtesy of Syrena, La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia, the Silk Exchange in Valencia, which she thought was rather like the conference room and the Bankers' Counting House and I agree.

 



Thanks so much for being so supportive.

Oh, I just thought of some other things. Edmund's words on redemption and forgiveness were very powerful. Which got me thinking that we've not yet really seen much of the early Golden Age in your worldview. We've already established that, no, the Pevensies were never 'ordinary' school children, or they wouldn't have been called. Even so, they had to get from Beruna to what and who they are here. That didn't happen without growth and mistakes and learning and forgiving one another. So I'd love to see your take (hell yes, I'm inciting : ).

It also occurs to me that all of Narnia knew about Edmund and the witch, so how is it that the bankers don't seem to know about it. Rumors have this way of getting around, so I would have thought it would be known in the Islands.
