Summary
The revolutionaries wore rough undyed linen and what body armour they had been able to scavenge, those recently come in still with wrappings bound tight around wrists and ankles and pooling around necks for protection from the burgeoning storm. Former slaves wore the traditional tattoos and improvised ornaments – frayed strips of leather pushed through and tied around japor snippets and interestingly shaped rocks and tiny, tiny cuttings of what green things grew on a world as barren as theirs, then twisted and braided around bare arms. The differences were obvious.
In which the Jedi come to Tatooine. In which the Jedi leave Tatooine. In which Anakin Skywalker stays behind.

thou, who art victory and law by The_Apocryphal_One

Summary

Summary
There were only a few things Idra knew about the Great Avar. He was, of course, related to Idra through his father's line; a younger brother of Nemolis Drazhar, born to the scorned, unfortunate Chenelo Zhasan. That was the source of his claim to the Barizheise throne: he was the grandson of the previous Great Avar, Maru Sevrasched. He knew that his half-uncle took as his standard a prancing lion known as the Corat' Anmeir, Cruelty of the Sun, in partial tribute to his grandfather's Corat' Arhos.
It also might have been a nod to his Drazhadeise blood, which would have been bold if that was truly the intention, given that he had been disowned at fourteen.
(Or: In the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Edrenechibel IX, the Great Avar Maia Sevraseched came to the Ethuveraz for a state visit.)

Summary
"No doubt thou didst melt the seal open on the steam vents to read the business of thy betters, planned how thou wouldst ingratiate thyself with the Archduke— oh yes, we know thy tricks…”
Not the steam vents, thinks Csevet. It would wet the paper. The hot pipes, yes— but not the vents. He would only use a steam vent if he wanted to bleed the ink onto the external sheet and claim inclement weather, and that almost never can be gotten away with inside the court.
Captain Orthema is saying Lord Chavar, leave Mer Aisava, but Csevet knows Chavar will not move for love or money now, not until he has said his piece.
--
Two attempts on the throne; and Csevet Aisava, in the shadows.Bookmarked by cassiopia

Summary
“Aha!” Csethiro sat up, displacing him somewhat abruptly. “Thou dost admit it, then!”
“Admit what?” said Maia bewilderedly, trying to sit up—
“That ‘tis my job to hate people on thy behalf,” said Csethiro magnificently, with a rather intense look in her eye that Maia did not entirely trust, even if he did rather like it.
“I did not… quite say that…”
“Let me deal with Mer Abrevar, husband,” said Csethiro— in a tone she obviously thought was measured, because she looked proud of herself. It was not measured. It was immense.Bookmarked by cassiopia

"You would have done better to choose a daughter of a more traditional house," Osmerrem Pashavaran said. 'The Ceredada girls have just as many ridiculous notions as your sister."
(the daughters of the Marquess Ceredel certainly do have notions)
