So, the Weasel Queen interlude is over. Is this Storm King opera another one?

Well, I suppose it's true that Britannia rules the waves.

From the mountains in the distance, it seems only the London area, or possibly all the lowlands are sunken, not the entire island. That could be Wales we're looking at.

When Agatha learns Tarvek is even tacitly complicit in Seffe's plot to marry Gil, he will have even more 'splainin' to do.

Well just mentioning this now: I am highly expecting that during the whole Britain call we will at least see a Corgi, even if they originate in Wales, and that it is going to try to get a spot near our characters.

Mostly because between rule of cute and funny working here... not to mention that it would be funny that while the wasp eaters are Klaus' idea and work we get Albia doing a counterpart with another animal.

England is far less underwater than I was expecting, more Venice than Atlantis. If anything this makes Gil's threat to boils the seas even worse.

The Foglios sell a map of Agatha's Europa which shows that "only" about half of England and Ireland have sunk. (Basically all of the lowlands, leaving the higher ground above water.) Not 100% canon of course...

Huh. That makes it kinda weird, since Ireland's a separate island.

Of course, Sparks... Maybe wild mass guessit was some kind of teleporter with bases in Ireland and the middle of England that blew up?

(WHY wasn't Ireland in my iPhone's dictionary?? That's just wrong. It's not like it's a new or recently renamed or anything!)

So... bets. What's going to happen here? Is Albia going to be helpful, or a barrier? What will the primary arc conflict be? Obviously, Agatha isn't simply going to walk in, ask for assistance, and get it without any complications. Something will go wrong.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.

A new face.

Agatha is going to meet up with the Circus again. I think that's pretty much a given. My long-held theory is that since it's been announced by the Foglios that she's going to Africa next, she's going to learn about something useful located in Circus-member Embi's homeland, and go there with him. The most likely thing would be a functioning Portal that will take her to Skifandar.

I am very curious to see how Albia's control works, as mentioned by Gil way back in the Castle.

Outside the Genius Bonus when reading Brunel thought more of a train call.... sooo someone might have heard of Chewie and vice versa.

What? Diplomats used as spies? Well, I never! (Closes Civilization tab). Never heard of such a thing in my life.

As for members of the aristocracy being spies... eh, possible, but too high profile.

Are you kidding? There is no one so underhanded, backstabbing and sly as an aristocrat of the old school doing what he thinks is his duty.

One word: Sturmvarous.

More seriously, aristocrats of blood and money have been spies in history. It runs into the same issue my son found when running a rogue knight in D&D (yes really): no one lower ranking wants to be That Guy who offends M. Very Important. Especially in societies where firing was the nicest option you could expect.
