Yesterday I finally got to the start of the romance with Gale in my playthrough and I just can’t stop thinking about the fact that he shows you an illusion of his room in Waterdeep.

Gale shows you the center of his universe — room where he was on his highest, a wizarding prodigy, renowned, beloved, maybe even feared due to the title of Mystra’s Chosen, with a newly bought book in his hand and Tara on his lap; and where he was on his lowest. He knows every bit of this room: here he rushed from one corner to another, here he sat in the pile of scattered books while the Orb clenched his chest, hoping to find something useful and knowing all too well that it’s pointless. He can create the most detailed illusion — and he tries his best to create not the dark room where he secluded himself but the calmness and light of a beautiful peaceful day. And then Gale leads you to the balcony. The only place in the tower that gave him distraction. Shelter. Here he feels the most confident. He takes a deep breath, feeling familiar salty breeze on the tip of his tongue, and turns to you.

He realizes once again that he is not coming home.

He will never sit with you on his favorite spot, will never show you around Waterdeep, will never give a home to you. He is doomed and right now he is taking you with him.

And still he clings to this memory, to the sunset light on your cheeks, to the illusion that everything is fine.

Now he has the most beautiful memory of a person who he adores. And before he dies, he will think of only one thing — you smiling, while you sit on his balcony in Waterdeep.

(I also think it would be nice if he pointed out something related to Tara in his room — her favorite spot, her pillow, her feather lying on the floor — oh, my dear Tara started to forget things lately. But it’s just me.)

Kherson's Russian Journalist Killed In Attack. #kherson #ukraine #kyiv #...

[pretordh]

Russian troops used chemical munitions 9 times, from March 2 to 3, by dropping them from drones onto the battlefield, - the head of the Tavria Air Defense Forces Tarnavskyi

"I would like to remind you that this is a violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons"

[justacynicalromantic]

A wave with a height of 4-5 m will hit the Antonivsky bridge east of Kherson after 7 p.m. After that, the water will rise up the Ingulets River, and after 4-5 days - the water will rise up the Bug River to Mykolaiv.

Several smaller towns and villages on both sides of the Dnieper will be flooded, and when the wave reaches them, it can be very dangerous and cause human casualties.

The isthmus at the end of the bay outside the Dnieper delta (Kinbourn spit) will be heavily flooded and almost completely submerged, although this will begin approximately 50 hours after the dam breach.

❗️Demolition of the dam in Nova Kakhovka by the Russian Federation terrorist forces

is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention.

The destruction of hydroelectric power plants is considered a weapon of mass destruction and a war crime of indiscriminate action, according to Article 56 of Additional Protocol I of 1977.

Secondary effects:

❗️Zaporizka NPP

The supply of cooling water to Europe's largest nuclear power plant, ZANP, which requires cooling even for shut-down reactors, is likely to stop.

❗️ North Crimean Channel

The supply of water to Crimea will stop again. Simply, a shot in the foot. They were going to stay there for a long time. Or not?

❗️ Reclamation of Tavria and the Kakhovsky Canal

The supply of water to the field irrigation systems of the Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia regions will be stopped, and mainly on the occupied lands. It is not clear whether processing is currently taking place there, but without water it will definitely lose its meaning.

Many cities and villages that consume it from the Kakhovsky Canal will remain without drinking water, in particular occupied Berdyansk.

❗️ Kryvyi Rih

The 600,000-strong industrial city consumed 70% of its drinking water from the Kakhovsky Reservoir - now there will be difficulties with this.

❗️ Factories

Without a sufficient amount of water, the work of large industrial enterprises of the metallurgical industry in Marhanka, Nikopol, and Pokrov will have to be stopped.

❗️ Demographics

According to the information of the ecologist Maksym Soroka, up to 400,000 refugees affected by the dam explosion and, in the long term, up to 1,500,000 climate refugees may arrive in other regions in the near future.

❗️ Ecology is the worst!

A one-time reduction of water in a huge reservoir will lead to unpredictable ecological consequences: the death of a large number of fish, waterlogging of drained lands and a change in the climatic regime of the region.

⭕️ On the other hand, the sandy bottom will open and we will get a new desert with all the climatic consequences, such as a decrease in precipitation, dust storms, and a rise in temperature in the region. And accordingly, the risk of drought in the fields of central and southern Ukraine is greater.

The lack of water in the Kakhovsky Sea will lead to the drying of the fields of southern Ukraine with further desertification. The Zaporizhzhia NPP and dozens (if not hundreds) of large factories will have to be closed, which will not have enough water and electricity for production processes.

Accordingly, the population will leave this region en masse due to the impossibility of living in difficult climatic conditions and due to the lack of water and jobs.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have withdrawn from Stepove and Severne villages near Avdiivka, Dmytro Lykhovii, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Tavria Group, said on national television on Feb. 27.

The two villages are located north of Lastochkyne, which was occupied by Russian troops on Feb. 26. Before the start of the full-scale invasion, around 100 people lived in Stepove and Severne.

Lykhovii said battles for Stepove and Severne had took place on Feb. 27.

According to Lykhovii, Russia has increased the number of assault units. The spokesperson said that some of them can reach the number of a company, which is up to 250 soldiers.

Ukraine withdrew from the small industrial city of Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast on Feb. 17 amid ammunition shortages after months of repelling Russia’s renewed offensive.

After the occupation of Avdiivka, Russia intensified its offensive efforts in various parts of Ukraine’s front line, likely in order to stretch Ukrainian forces, the U.K. Defense Ministry reported in its Feb. 21 intelligence update.

❗️ Situation is "tense, but under control." In case the main logistics artery is cut by the enemy, the command has provided alternate supply routes.

Deportation of Tavrian Bulgarians

In 1943 and 1944, a few thousand Bulgarians from the Tavria region, then part of the Soviet Union (now Ukraine), managed to return to Bulgaria. These people, known as Tavrian Bulgarians, had endured severe hardships and significant losses. They had been repressed and persecuted in Tavria due to Bulgaria’s alliance with Nazi Germany during World War II. However, their troubles did not end upon returning to their homeland.

Return and Repression

Immediately after the Soviet Army invaded Bulgaria in 1944, Stalin ordered the deportation of all Tavrian Bulgarians back to the Soviet Union. Despite being ethnic Bulgarians who sought refuge in their ancestral homeland, they were treated as enemies of the Soviet system. The deportation was part of a broader Soviet strategy to eliminate any perceived threats, including ethnic groups with connections to countries aligned with Germany during the war Istanbul Tour Guide.

Life in Bulgaria Before the Deportation

Before their forced return to the Soviet Union, the Tavrian Bulgarians tried to rebuild their lives in Bulgaria. They were a tight-knit community, holding on to their cultural heritage and traditions despite the challenges they faced. However, the post-war political climate in Bulgaria, dominated by Soviet influence, made their stay short-lived. The presence of the Soviet Army in Bulgaria meant that Stalin’s orders were swiftly executed, leaving the Tavrian Bulgarians with little time to adjust to their new surroundings before being uprooted once again.

The Forced Deportation

The deportation was carried out with military precision. Soviet authorities, with the cooperation of Bulgarian state security forces, rounded up the Tavrian Bulgarians and sent them back to the Soviet Union. These deportees faced a grim future, as they were often treated harshly upon their return. Branded as traitors and enemies of the state, many were sent to labor camps or subjected to other forms of repression. The irony of their situation was stark: having fled Soviet repression in Tavria, they found themselves back under the same oppressive regime that had driven them away in the first place.

The Dark Legacy

The story of the Tavrian Bulgarians is a tragic chapter in Bulgaria’s history. It reflects the broader pattern of Stalin’s brutal policies, which disregarded national sovereignty and individual rights in favor of maintaining tight control over the Soviet sphere of influence. For the Tavrian Bulgarians, their forced deportation was not just a physical removal but also a symbolic erasure of their identity and connection to their ancestral homeland. Their experience is a poignant reminder of the human cost of political repression and the long shadow cast by totalitarian regimes.

Testimonies from the Era

Accounts from the time, such as those found in the Democracy newspaper on September 5, 1994, reveal the extent of the brutality involved. Mircho Spasov, a former member of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party, openly admitted that the party delayed the installation of the People’s Tribunal to eliminate more perceived enemies. He chillingly recounted how prisoners were taken from the militia department, loaded onto trucks late at night, and driven away, never to be seen again.

The forced deportation of the Tavrian Bulgarians is a somber reflection of the severe repression and human rights abuses during Stalin’s era. It serves as a crucial reminder of the harsh realities faced by many ethnic groups caught in the crossfire of geopolitical conflicts. The legacy of these events continues to resonate, highlighting the importance of remembering and learning from the past to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.
