It makes me happy to see this updating regularly again.
I wonder when Twilight will stop being suprised by her impact on the Hedge? At least her abilities to lead others are improving.
And another great display at her powers of intimidation, along with the first appearance of the Dragonic Dragon-Changeling you mentioned in the blog.
And so it begins the next bout of awesome
This story is good and you should feel good for writing it. Going to name the castle the Citadel? Will Trixie or her squire be too busy to go somewhere because there are calibrations to finish?
590029 it's not that regular but i know what you mean

Ain't that the fucking truth. I was so scared that this would wind up as another vapor fic; it would have been a tragedy. When I saw the first new update a week and a half ago or so, I was overjoyed.

In regards to the castle... Here's a sketch!
Just a quick first pass, sorry about my crappy handwriting, I'll be doing more detailed ones as the whim takes me. You can't tell there, but all the brambles are purple-veined white marble, while the main body of the castle is a dark basalt. The brambles around the front door are magically reinforced amethyst, as are most of the interior bramble sculptures. On the right is the refurbished Hall of the Elements, which is used as a gathering place, while on the left, the domed structures are vast gardens, protected by sheets of carefully grown and magically reinforced crystal, in case of a prolonged assault.
The Citadel continues down several hundred feet to the canyon floor, sprouting additions like a tree with shelf-fungus. The only access points by land are the front entrance, which you can see there, and the cargo entrance, which is accessible only by a long path down the cliffside. The courtyard there in front is enchanted, and the arch is a one-way gate to the Hedge, which can be magically activated or deactivated from inside the Citadel. There is the iron gateway to the Hedge inside, of course, but it's heavily defended on both ends.
The water comes from an ancient spring in the depths of the main Citadel, put there by Celestia herself in days long past. It arrives hot, and while some of the water goes to the baths, it also serves the rest of the Citadel quite well. The grounds around the Citadel are tastefully arranged, and feature multiple reflection ponds, sculpture gardens, labyrinths and other places for quiet thought. There are several such places inside the walls as well, and changelings, who often are deeply emotionally scarred, frequent such places in an attempt to restore their internal balance.
I thought waaaaaaaaaay too much about this. That isn't even all the details I went into in my notes.

A big cresent moon yet no sun emblems? Interesting.
And cloud structures for outward watch places would be nice.

Since Luna lives there with Twilight, it seemed more fitting, but I may change it out for a coat of arms of some sort.

>.>
That's 'cause I forgot to put it in the first time.
And I did? Bother. I'll fix that in a bit.

Ah, mystery of how I missed it solved.
PS:
Ponies seem to live a long time in your canon if the Pages Celly mentions as her first knight around the time she fought the beast is the one that died five centuries before mentioned when Twilight is kighted. Luna would be happy for this.

It was, in fact, the soap. Twilight usually smells of burnt paper.
And why yes, the only blanket she made was in fact for the homeless pony. Nebula slept on the streets to keep from being noticed between killings, and Twilight unwittingly used his dream for transport. I suppose I should have made that more clear.
Come to think of it, I don't think I ever revealed his master plan either. I'd intended to, but it looks like I left it out.

And Twilight intends to ask about that age discrepancy soon, Pages was... A rather unique knight.
637359Weird, notifications say that my comment was replied to but I seem to of lost it. Was it removed? Also, didnt know that and good point. Shoulda mentioned that earilier before I looked stupid ranting about it. lol jk. Anyway, fanart?

I just found out from the rulebook, which arrived yesterday.
638025Oo. Interesting.
637359
Actually...
In the book it says Changelings are USUALLY sterile... But there have been a few cases of pregnancies amongst the Lost. Changeling parents are exceptionally paranoid, given the Faeries' tendency to steal children and the rarity of such events, but also usually extraordinarily loving. The children themselves often have strange insights, but the whole children of Changelings thing is left very open-ended in the actual rulings.
Fun fact: The Fetch of a Changeling in the core rules can have children, and such children tend to be... Odd.
BUT I'm going with my own version of the rules, remember, and even with the core rules, nothing is ever certain.
637768
Well, I didn't delete your comment, and this isn't the first time comments have gone missing. It's very weird.
638227 Fascinating. Changelings in that world are complicated. I like the fact that this story is so unique and I would love to see a child with changeling parents. I can imagine that would make an interesting character. Guess my comment got lost somewhere in Necrovore's comment. O well. Hope it has plenty of food.

Such a child would be somewhat isolated in non-changeling society, as they tend to have somewhat... Diagonal thinking. In the books there are rumors of changeling children with strange powers, but it was all very vague...
If I DID have a child of a changeling in the story though, they'd totally be getting weird stuff all the time. I might write a side-story about that sometime, if I have time... But that's what I love about Changeling: it leaves so much open-ended.
Archaemonstrixillator is the best name ever.
I would think that Twilight would add something like "except in self-defense".

One does not always think clearly when enraged.
Keepers. Not masters.
*groans*, Rusty, you don goofed. The Darkest Dawn wants to leave Equestria. Banishment isn't really a punishment for them. They want to go to Arcadia. To get there, they need to go to the Hedge. And they can go to the Hedge from anywhere with a door. The Princesses's judgement isn't really a problem when they only banish people. So why would they agree to that Pledge?
2314760 why would they agree to that Pledge? Banishment wouldn't hurt them, or even hurt their goals, but not being able to hurt any mortal or changeling certainly would.
6118124 fear maybe? Then again theres that banishment point... Dunno on this one.
I want you to come back just so you can tell me how this brilliant name is pronounced.

Are kay mon strix ill ate er, I think.
Archae is likely correct due to being similar to archaic, without the ick. The part I am not sure is the ixill, but peeps pronounce words differently sometimes so its w/e.
