Relationship Note on Aldwin

He is now the Dominus of the Faith, the Most Holy, the Voice of the Pantheon, the Closest of the Gods.

May the gods lead him to see beyond books to see people.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

When there is a storm coming, yours is the shelter we seek. When I am pulled to pieces and fractured, yours are the hands that warm my frazzled soul. When I would turn from myself in the midst of chaos, you remind me of my worth. Where you lead, so shall I follow.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

Of all the people that I have worked with in Arx so far, I think I have enjoyed the Archscholar the most. Especially the exchange of messages in the early morning, and that he rarely berates me even when I say things I should not. And how he seems to get my sometimes inane sense of humour and takes my jokes as they are meant, in jest. And how no matter how silly my questions and how crazy my theories are, he never laughs or makes fun of me, and instead guides and teaches.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

Aldwin makes for a surprisingly good writing companion that was not offended, despite many slips of the tongue in his presence. How he survived my visit and still maintain that composure will forever be one of the great mysteries of Arx.

PS. He is not as old as he looks.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

I needed the conversation that he provided. The uncertain season has turned the world over on its face. For him, I would even drink tea.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

The Archscholar is incredibly knowledgeable and cryptic at the same time.

But I enjoyed being led to the conclusion.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

He has been able to help me unlock those mysteries that kept me weak and fragile all these years. He is an exemplary mind with knowledge that stretches far beyond his years. I am often humbled in his presence and find myself blossoming ever more in his care.

I can only aspire to one day possess a fraction of such wisdom.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

Though he was the first person I met properly when I returned to Arx, it has only been recently that I've spent more time speaking with Aldwin. The Archscholar is wonderful company, and as kind as he is wise. Now he has been convinced to spend more time away from his work I am more than happy to help see him relax away from the Academy and Shrines, a little more often at least.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

I've lived in Arx's Lower Boroughs all my life, and wandering the other bits of Arx, meeting people, especially Silks, skulking around the edges of parties -- it makes me feel like a dingy, nasty-minded old crow. I appreciate Aldwin. In a way, he's like the path I never took, and his steady, calm, slightly-amused affect is an inspiration if maybe not an . . . aspiration. I'm glad I have a friend like him to keep me rooted. Also, I don't feel old next to him! It's relaxing! (I still feel dingy, nasty-minded, and crowish, though.)

Relationship Note on Aldwin

When we were very small we called him Pop-pop. Now to the world he's the Archscholar. Sometimes I can respect his vows and see him in that light. But then he sends me silver so I can buy a cloak, and not catch a chill, and nevermind I'm a woman grown.

Thank you, Poppop.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

Archscholar Aldwin has become an unexpected friend in the Vellichorian Academy of mine. He carries himself with an unfailing kindness and wisdom. I cannot help but to regard him as a doting grandfather, full of good humor and mischief and always delighted to indulge my whims without hesitation. He's agreed to oversee my trials into becoming a scholar of Vellichor, for which I'm also most delighted and grateful.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

THe Archscholar is, unsurprisingly, fascinating to talk to. I just... I have such reservations about his openness. Perhaps I am too paranoid these days. I want to trust him, I really do. But when the darkness comes, can we afford to be unbiased? We shall see. I clearly need to speak more with him.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

The Archscholar of Vellichor has paid me the immense compiment of specifically requesting to converse with me - and thereafter added another by inviting me to join a scholastic venture he has started. I am quite embarrassingly flattered by this, and fervently hope that I can make meangingful contributions.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

A fine illustration of both the virtues of a man of honest, forthright scholarship, and of the difficulties in mixing such a man with an inherently complex and pride-driven world. Much can be learned from the Archscholar's wisdom and compassion. I only pray that the Compact learns the lessons while we can benefit the most from them.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

He wasn't the first person I would have expected to contact me concerning what I wanted to learn. After meeting him I couldn't be happier it turned out like it did. Two different walks of life, two different faiths, but still our paths may converge and meet somewhere in the middle on common ground. I hope not only for his instruction, but maybe even friendship as well. He seems a man I could spend hours talking to, aimlessly and pointlessly in direction of word but still be continuously learning more. Luckily, I am meeting with him in the early mornings after my morning runs and spars to do that very thing - pick his mind.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

I finally got a chance to sit and talk with Archscholar Aldwin, and already feel wiser for the experience. I cannot deny that this is a little childish, but there is a calm and honor to the man. After talking to him you are left with a sense that no matter how dark things are, we will endure, and history will carry on. We are richer for his service and that of the Scholars of Vellichor.
