Getting a “Leg-up” in Life

Three cheers for Susan Damodred! Susan was the first Sim in Cairhien to be enrolled into Eton Academy. The prestigious all girls school teaches classes in French, and offers courses in a plethora of foreign languages, including Urdu, Greek, Japanese, and Latin. Susan’s father, Thom, is busy getting his son, Patrick, accepted into Cross Academy: the all boys version of Eton.

Susan is now attending classes at the university, and although she has yet to decide on a major she expects to graduate with a 4.0 GPA.

“Well I am a Damodred.”

When asked if there was any truth to the rumors that her parents had arranged for her to marry an al’Thor boy, she gave no comment.

How to Succeed at Failing

Yesterday there was tears of happiness at Université de Cairhien, as well as the old fashioned ones. Caitlin Melaidhrin – daughter of Rand al’Thor and Cadsuane Melaidhrin – graduated with a 3.9 GPA. She promptly moved back to Cairhien with fiancé Owyn Damodred.

Elayne al’Meara, however, was expelled from the university. Sources claim this was due in part to the hardships of her upbringing, specifically, her lack of knowledge about her birth-mother. Clay al’Meara wasn’t very forthcoming about where his daughter’s mother was, except to say “in space”.

Elayne isn’t all sorrow though. She did marry her longtime sweetheart Kevin al’Thor. al’Thor himself dropped out of college, and was very understanding to his wife’s situation. The two are now proud parents of a baby girl named Tigraine.

Saved from Death!

Cairhien’s newest couple, Siuan and Alric Sanche, experienced a close call this evening. Siuan, who was in her last trimester, was, quite frankly, starving. Straving to death. The Grim Reaper paid a visit, but luckly Alric was able to plead for his loved one’s life. Siuan went on to eat five plates of pasta and give birth to a son, Huan.

It is to be noted the Grim Reaper was last seen headed northward to the al’Thor compound.

Death in Cairhien

Tam al’Meara died last night. A giant swarm of flies attacked him and reduced him to so much rubish. Rubish, that Nynaeve al’Meara (no relation) quickly swept up and threw away. Clay al’Meara (no relation), who was perhaps Tam’s only friend, was deeply affected by Tam’s passing. He left behind a fiancé, who’s name may or may not be Ken. Tam’s death is an important piece of news for citizens of Cairhien; he is the first Sim to die.
