# Updated: [[The Second Southern Expedition]] - Added "No Man's Land".  I'm tempted break this tale into multiple pages, in which case "No Man's Land" will probably be reclassified as "Daybringers Gaiden 7.5: What Might have Been".  If for no reason other than to goad David into finishing DB8.  Curse you Hans!

# The Chronology-monkeys have been busy; the Second Southern Expedition has been split into [[Not One Tiger Warrior]], [[A Conspiracy of Virtue]], and [[Gaiden 7.5]], with more coming soon.

(2/17) Meanwhile... (Sapphire's Bad Day)
 
 
 
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Mandate of Heaven]] - Best. Topic. Title. EVAR.

# New: [[Powder Kegs (and other delicate matters)]]
# New: [[Divine Intervention]] - Fun with evil, evil, evil cliffhangers;  You are a horrible, horrible man, Hans Christian Andersen. :)  -  JK
 
# New: [[Hurry Home, Sweet Voice]] - The funny part is, Jason, there was only a ninety-minute window of truly-evil cliffhanger-dom before I posted this next part.  Not that there's any real resolution, but still.
 
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Law of the Pack]] - The problem with being a half-caste in a full-moon world is that you have to deal with... another Evil, Evil, Cliffhanger!  Mwa ha ha! ''She '''''did not''''' just say "In the name of the Moon, I will punish you"...?! -mac''
 
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Long Dark Night]] - What?  No cliffhanger?  Inconceivable!
 
# New: [[Agathon's Findings]] - I wrote this ages ago to explore the events that brought Agathon into disgrace in Lookshy, but forgot to post it.  With Marta's wedding and Soho's impending trial, it's suddenly quite relevant.  ''You know that nothing links to it right now but this Talk page, right?  :) - JK''  (''Yeah, posted it this morning before work.  Haven't yet decided the best place to put it... okay, Agathon's entry links to it now. - HCA'')
 
# Updated:  [[The Fivefold Chronology]] - Added the last several sessions' worth of entries.  The simian scribes were uncertain of the timing of some of them, particularly Jason's works.
 
 
(2/24) Secret Teachings of Secret Avalanche (Going to Ground)
 
 
# New: [[Gaiden 7.6]]: Soho no baka! - This was going to be the last entry in the Second Southern Expedition, but then it got melodramatic enough that I was forced to reclassify it as Daybringers Gaiden.  Such a shame that I couldn't number it 8.5.  ''(goad, goad!  -HCA)''  Can something really count as Daybringers' Gaiden if it doesn't actually contain any reference to the Daybringers? - JK  (Crap, I *knew* I forgot a crucial detail.  Expect an edit sometime soon.)
 
# New: [[Peleps Deled's Vault]] - [[Storm of Amber]] is not the only exalt seeking the Third-Arm Glaive...
 
 
(3/10) A Long-Awaited Party (?)
 
 
# New: [[Shai Mei's Place]] - The Little Tree vanquishes a nasty hangover...

--Cloud Break: 3/10/07--
 
# New: [[Chapter 8]]: At last.  So many double meanings it will take eight fully independent and flurry-able simultaneous actions to shake a stick at them!
 
 
--Tree Hunting: 3/17/07--
 
# Expanded: [[Cerulean Sage]]: Decided he should really be a divinity, and then brought him in to start teaching Rivers.
 
# Added: [[Outside the Bear's Cave]]: The next story will begin soon.  You are ready.  Are they?

''Honestly, sometimes I wonder if anyone likes anything they write.''
 
<br/>This week, it is my intention to finish at least three articles and add them to the wiki. Wish me luck! and/or mock me mercilessly should I fail.<br/>
 
# New: it will be called [[Walls and Tall Shadows]]
 
# New: it will be called [[Sapphire's Bad Day]]
 
# New: it will be called [[A Gift of Blades]]
 
# Updated: Finished spending Hsuan Lin's banked exp and updated her [[Hsuan Lin|stats]]
 
# Updated: Edited several articles, mainly to make character names fit convention
 
# Updated: Changed the structure of things. "Sapphire's Past" is now located off of her character [[Sapphire River at Midnight|page]]. Also, each section of her past has its own page now. That thing was getting long, and I'm only about half done.
