THRONE WATCH — we watch, so you don't have to.
Last night, nothing happened. The Watch reports this with pride.
No lights over the ridge. No rings lining up. No figures at the treeline. Just a clear sky, a quiet field, and watchers watching, which is, after all, most of the job.
The Watch's official position is that a quiet night is not a wasted night. Watching is how we know when something changes, and knowing when something changes is how we keep the village safe and curious in equal measure. The watchers took turns, drank hot drinks, and looked up often, which is exactly what watchers are for.
So: if the night is clear, look up anyway. The sky may be quiet. Quiet is worth noticing too.
