ALISON ASKED:
Hi! I have a few questions about the current state of perception among the Envoys. How are the different groups handling the fact that they're now participating in challenges? Is anyone clueless or concerned that they're being messed with, or are they all eager to participate? On top of that, is there anyone who's seeming to succeed with ease at these challenges? Basically, what is public perception among the envoys and how well are the different groups doing?

Beyond that, I'm curious about how the Hyrypians are handling it. Are they moving with grace and taking on these challenges as if they're expected, or do they seem surprised? Are the younger Hyrypians (the new nobles mentioned here and there) eager to prove themselves in this pilgrimage, and do they seem prepared for the events themselves? A lot of the exercises involve training, so do the Hyrypians require less of it?

Also, do they seem aware of what comes next if asked? They being general Hyrypians, with a potential focus on the younger nobles.

What is the perception of the Carbushes at this point, as well?

I know this is a lot, but I'm trying to get a grasp of the current atmosphere in game for things moving forward.

Thanks!
