Everything Is Cleared Before 3/7

The granddaughter was exactly where the guide said she was, which means I can finally stop checking every alley in Dagsion as if I am conducting a missing persons investigation.

More importantly, the quest log is clean.

Every Kindness Quest and Subquest currently available to me is complete, and my Renown level is now 3.

The next scheduled event is 3/7: the Gaia Brigade qualifier.

I am deliberately stopping here for a different reason than usual. I can read the battle forecast well enough to move units around, but I do not yet have the Fire Emblem instinct for what all the character-sheet abbreviations mean. There are enough numbers — Dex, Spd, Lck, Bld, Cha and the derived combat values — that I have been reading some of the screen without actually understanding it.

That is exactly the kind of thing Dad Save Point is for.

So before the next tactical battle I am learning the stat language properly: what controls damage, what controls accuracy, why raw Speed is not the same thing as Attack Speed, and why putting a heavy ring on somebody can quietly make them worse.

One other thing to remember before I advance: at Renown 3, Castor's Terrain Tips is the mentorship that matters now. Aurora's Staying Healthy is a Renown-4 unlock, so it is not something I have missed.

Current state:

all available quests cleared, Renown 3, pre-3/7 qualifier, learning the stat screen before I go in.
