Of red sands and glimmering gold, her vow to defend stands strong

"I once gave Candace some jewelry and told her to learn to enjoy life and find happiness outside of work. She replied that seeing the village in peace was enough to make her happy... Well, this guardian really has a unique way of enjoying life..."

— An exasperated comment from Dehya, the Flame-Mane.

◆ Candace

◆ Golden Vow

◆ Guardian of Aaru Village

◆ Hydro

◆ Sagitta Scutum

"That Candace... is a true descendant of King Deshret!"

At a tavern in Sumeru City, a disheveled member of The Eremites exclaimed in fear.

The guardian with different-colored eyes has received the blessing of the gods and is able to summon a sandstorm that engulfs all enemies instantly.

A former member of the Treasure Hoarders, who recently claimed to have quit, added that Candace can also summon the power of the desert. Every grain of sand is her scout and no one can escape from her grasp.

But a young adventurer who was about to leave for the desert looked surprised. He replied that Miss Candace, the guardian of Aaru Village, was actually a gentle and caring person.

During a visit to Aaru Village, he had seen Miss Candace bring water and food to a hungry Treasure Hoarder, and arranged for another exhausted mercenary to rest in the guest room... In the eyes of this adventurer, "terrifying" is the last word one could use to describe this guardian...

Candace, who is far away in the Great Red Sand, was unaware of this little debate about her - although she doesn't mind what people think about her.

As the guardian of Aaru Village, it is her duty to protect the peace of the village.

As long as they abide by the rules of Aaru Village, anyone can seek refuge here and receive the help they need.

As for those who violate the rules and commit atrocities in the village...

Candace will personally ensure that they never harm the village again.

It's a lonely trek back to the servant's quarters, made longer by the absence of another person. It isn't all bad. The quiet gives him plenty of time to reflect on the day's events. If someone were to tell him this morning that he'd end it being the king's personal guard and a servant of the royal palace, he'd laugh, call them an idiot, then pickpocket them for his troubles.

I'm grateful that I got the chance to hear some insider takes about chi'chil bildagoteel / oak flat from people who work on environmental impact statements (EIS's) for a living. I will try to relay it, but this is all off the dome and sort of hush-hush. take it with a grain of salt!

Anyway, what's especially rough about oak flat is that congress signed the land over to rio tinto before the EIS began-- that is, the forest service couldn't simply choose Not To Do The Horrible Thing, because the land no longer belonged to them, and the decision wasn't theirs to make. But you are required to do tribal consulting when doing an EIS, and this feedback is supposed to be taken into account when making the final decision. So (from my understanding) communication broke down because reps from the San Carlos Apache Nation were saying, in no uncertain terms, that this is unacceptable and should not be happening, but the forest service had their hands tied, and were stuck proceeding with the EIS as if the mine was an inevitability. So consulting ended up being terminated because... what the hell is the point in giving feedback if it's not going to be listened to by the people who are actually making the decision.

The delays on the EIS may be (in part) to buy time for congressional action (save oak flat act) or legal action (current and past litigation.) Kind of like a friendly lawsuit, it would be much more ideal if tribal nations and environmental advocacy groups won the suit and could thus inform the resolution process, than if the government was sued by rio tinto for going back on their word and rio tinto won.

A similar thing is happening right now with the Willow project, where the drilling leases were signed away by the Trump administration, and the current DOI has been stuck cleaning up their mess and trying to mitigate the consequences of a project that (to my understanding) they don't have the ability to terminate completely. As it stands, the lawsuits being filed against it mmmmmay kill the project, /or/ delay it long enough for it to no longer be appealing to the parent company, ConocoPhillips. This feels preferable to being sued by ConocoPhillips, but only if it... uh... works!

(looks at the current supreme court)

much to chew on.
