After you squished the brain, Beard Man showed up. Said the Weave led him to me, and me to him. He's teaching me how to make sense of all those leaves in my head-tree. He says I need to use magic responsibly. He also says not to call him 'Beard Man'.
This bit from Arabella's epilogue letter is interesting to me specifically because El also says the Weave brought them together. Which you'd typically take to mean Mystra led them together, but if that was the case, El would've named her. This particular wording implies it was someone else, likely a Weave ghost. Idk, it's just an interesting detail to me.

Laeral was old enough when El took her in to know El wasn't her parent, but she was young enough to think they were blood relations. The girls referred to El as Uncle / Aunt growing up. It wasn't until years later when teenage Storm was having her "YOU'RE NOT MY PARENT, YOU'RE NOT EVEN RELATED TO US" tantrums that Lael realized they were adopted family lmao

In the past two years I've been reading more books. I was one of those people who defined myself as a reader for most of my life but lost my attention span. It's only in the last 2 years I've been able to read fiction at all (I'm one of those weirdbeards who thinks nonfiction is way easier to read than fiction).
So actually this is the post about the best book I read this year. I can't give it to Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush because it's a sequel that doesn't stand alone, although you should absolutely read those books.
Instead I am telling you that the best book I read all year was Devil House by John Darnielle. It's one of those books that I read and I thought, "oh this should be mandatory." It's a very special, revelatory work, and I do think that if you consider yourself a true crime fan, you are doing yourself an extreme disservice by not reading this book. It's still a really good read even if you're not conversant with the norms of true crime, but if you are, it is a whole different experience. It's one of those books that really stuck with me, because it feels entirely like it's a real thing that happened, and it recasts reality in such a way I think it's unskippable if you are a fan of the genre.
So my advice to you would be, 1) if you can't read books this year, don't, it's not worth torturing yourself, 2) definitely do read Devil House

BIOGRAPHY.
El has lived an absurdly long life with an unbelievable amount of adventures, and they're still kicking. It's more than I care to condense into a bio, frankly. Thus I'll be giving an overview of their earliest years. Further details can be found in the timeline.
ELMINSTER WAS BORN IN THE small country village of Heldon, Athalantar. Their early days were spent peacefully, tending sheep and learning at their parents' feet. Then it was lost in a blaze of dragonfire. They were twelve years old when the Warring Princes of Athalantar sought out their hidden brother, El's father, to lay low him and all his issue. From then on, El was forced to make their way as an outlaw and a thief — or else be slaughtered by their uncle and the mages puppeteering him.
Seven years past before they could hide no longer. They entered Mystra's temple intending to burn it down, but left under Her divine guidance. There was nothing El hated more than mages and their goddess, but he couldn't thwart them by learning spells more powerful. First they were a cleric. Then they were a wizard. Then they were the face of a revolution. They rallied their allies and drove the tyrant and his mages from the land. However, El chose not to take the throne in the end. They wisely abdicated to Helm Stoneblade. Then they left, never to return, lest his reign be destabilized by their presence.
This was not an end for Elminster, merely a greater beginning. They'd hardly made it out of the capital of Hastarl before Mystra offered them a divine blessing — and divine burden. If El willed it, they would become Mystra's Chosen to serve Her will and further the Art across Toril. They accepted. They have thus outlived their natural lifespan by over a millennium, and have suffered grief and torments beyond any other. Still, they persist. Their greatest comfort lays in helping others; so long as they can be a force for good, they are satisfied.

@weirdbeardbrewco have announced their Summer festival line up... @deftones and @ironmaiden. Result! However, it's delivery day today and it will be BIG! So until it drops, we will happily argue with anyone that Diamond eyes and Number of the beast are the best Deftones and Maiden albums of all time. You can try and and argue, but you know we're right 😉#deftones #ironmaiden #weirdbeard #wearecorrect #dontargue #craftale #craftbeer #realale #craftnotcrap #beersofinstagram #beerstagram #Ipswich #bottleshop #hopsters
