(Written during the voyage of the Carlotta, archived upon arrival at Arx.)
Despite a Lycene heritage, I have not been a man of the sea, but rather of the city. I adore cities, and all their bustling, living people. Nonetheless, I will be forced to admit upon my return that there is a remarkable beauty to the sea. I've never sailed far outside of shore, but the Carlotta has sailed for days with no land, nor even the hint of land, in sight. The air grows warmer as we head south, but the breeze is brisk and filled with salt. The ship is as steady as a rock in the water, although I doubt that will be the case should we run into rough weather. Thus far, we are blessed with strong winds but clear skies. I have never felt quite so small, before, in all this endless blue above and below.
There are great beasts in the deep ocean. We saw one today, more than four times the size of even our own massive ship. Despite its side, it was graceful and majestic in the water, lifting itself up in an arc. A great, pebbled body and intelligent eyes. It seemed pleased to see us, welcoming us away from our shores. The sailors pronounced it and its kind as good omens, and so they proved to be. I gave thanks to Mangata and Petrichor and I believe that the creature gave us its blessing in return.
Night falls, and we have been advised to conserve lamp oil on the journey, so I shall end this entry here. May the gods keep us as we journey on.

Subject: explanation of RedTyde and my status
There have been several people who have wondered on my name and status, and I decided that a White Journal writing might help to clear up a few things.
I was born Lord Fredrik RedTyde. I was not born a commoner, but the third son of the RedTyde house, a March under the Tyde banner. When the Tydes rebelled, it was the first casualty of the war. My entire family, along with my wife and three children, were killed. I am, as far as I know, the only true RedTyde left alive. I will not go into the intricate details of why that is, but suffice to say I was on a business family trip when the war began, and have since, for almost two decades, posed as a commoner merchant, because if I had not? I would have been killed.
It was only very recently that I felt reassured in the political environment enough to emerge again, bearing my true title. I am not a 'ward' of the House, I am their Minister of Coin, their advisor, a member of the Silver Consortium, Manager of the Empyrean, student of the Scholars, and many other things besides. I am more than capable, not a pity case, and add daily to my House.
And very soon? I am rebuilding and reclaiming my March, to become Marquis Fredrik RedTyde. This may take months, or longer, it depends on the shape of my lands and how burned they still are from the purge. But it /will/ happen. Pure and simple. I will not let RedTyde fade into memory.
I have the support of Duchess Margot and High Lord Edain in this venture already, and will hopefully receive more aid as I can.
We will not go quietly into the night. My family deserves more than that.

I am not a violent person. Pugilism is an art that I partake in for sport or defense. But when it comes to these two people, as well as His Grace, Prince Edain, and his family? I think I would do terrible things to anyone who might hurt them. I also have some empty shelves, though I hope never to have reason to fill them with what's left of those who come for my family.

The College's Great Hall is almost empty now, save for the shrine to Jayus. There is still so much work to do.

....that said, if someone decides they want to hurt my cousin, they should also remember what happened to the last people to hurt someone I cared about. They have a new home on my wall. I have more shelves.

Be sure you write everyone you know, I'm pretty sure that'd be prudent.

I'm wise, people.
