Relationship Note on Eleyna
Where was it I said all commoners are utterly unfit? If you actually read what I said, my words were that it is grossly unfair to them because it changes their lives, strips them of their personal freedoms that were not in question before and places a lifetime of expectations on their shoulders when they have not been trained from early childhood to handle.
Again, Baron Clement's elevation is an exception due to his service, I and my feelings for him, have nothing at all to do with what he earned.
Would you like to try again?

It has absolutely nothing at all to do with my friendship with Baron Clement and everything to do with my respect for his decades of loyal and noble service to House Laurent. As I said.
But please, I do invite you to further cast shade upon my integrity.

Relationship Note on Eleyna
For a time I thought I had two siblings. Then it turned out I did have two siblings, just not the two I called brother and sister for most of my life.
Then I lost one before I could ever truly know her.
Eleyna remains, and she's proven to be a startling source of support and love. I am not one to usually speak of such things in the whites, preferring my musings to remain private. Yet, it would be unfortunate if the affection and gratitude I feel were kept forever silent, unknown till my death would see her read my black journals.
So, there you go, Eleyna.

My friend, I'm sorry for your sadness and your loss.
Remember that there is more than one kind of family. That we have by blood, but also that we make.

Let this be entered into the record:
I, Lady Vanora Grimhall, along with their father Valdemar Grimhall declare:
Lord Arkyn Grimhall will have for his First Liar the Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa.
Lord Antony Grimhall will have for his First Liar the Archduke-Consort Talen Velenosa.
Let them grow to be wise and cunning just as they grow to be strong.

Archduchess you left before you saw the end of the fighting, but I thought it worthwhile to let you know that the final two came down to Sir Ober and Sparte.

Here is food for thought for you. Consequence would exist in a world where destiny determines all, except we would suffer consequences not by our own decision. I look at the consequences of our choice not as a downside to freedom that we must accept as a price for our freedom, but as part of that freedom. We can, to a certain limit, choose the consequences that we are fine with living with.

I sincerely wish I had something far more profound to remark upon your recent entry with beyond simply that I agree completely. To cease my studies of diplomacy or economics to take up the spear could mean the books not as well maintained, or my missing out on endeavors that may require a gentle word instead of a sword. The consequence, of course, is that I can more easily be harmed, but that is why we have warriors who, I would hope, might aid me on those occasions a sword would be necessary.
In any case, your thoughts on the particular matter struck me as both wise and concise, and I wished to thank you for sharing them.

I understand fashion, even if it's not something I personally much give a shit about. Even in remote northern tribes, you have fashions. Art styles. I miss the ones I grew up with, if only because they were more familiar. But fashion trends? Fashion trends are a bunch of competitive nonsense (usually rich) people make up to combat boredom and use to sneer at others who don't or can't conform fast enough. I'll grant you that it makes a lot of other people a lot of coin when these folk scramble to fill up their wardrobes with more clothes and goods than they'll ever need or wear, but what a fucking waste of resources all spent so that people can see how fast they can play follow the leader. At least do something personal and unique with that kind of energy, instead of obeying some arbitrary list of what's momentarily popular.

My Cherished Friend,
It was you who reminded me of the Velenosa words and their Reflection. Loyalty, real loyalty, is something that goes deeper than blood, deeper than friendship, it is an oath so strong it needs no vows to accompany.
You have my loyalty because you have earned it, because you are deserving of it. You have my love and my friendship for such too, but it is the loyalty that sinks deepest, that becomes flesh and bone. It is freely given, and you need never thank me for coming to your aid.
I will every time.

Quite. I suppose we could always mine more of the lands for gems. Do you suppose diamonds will soon be low quality as well? We could always invest more into fish and seafood, I suppose.

Well. Since silk is apparently so low quality, I suppose I can have all my people halt the harvesting. That will, of course, mean also halting the production of seasilk, umbra, and aeterna... given that all three items base material is 'just silk'. I'm sure they will be happy for the respite from the silk fields. Perhaps we can instead turn them into good farmlands instead. I understand oils and butters are quite popular right now.

The Grand Duchess of the Lyceum is an absolutely formidable presence and a kindred spirit too...she thinks so similarly to me about the things I value the most. I admire her very deeply.
We were friendly when we were girls, I ran wild at the Velenosa estate in Lenosia while my parents did....the things my parents did. She, Esera, Isolde, and so many other cousins to run wild with and play, when we were not expected to be mature or serious. Then I moved on to religious study and she moved on to rise in power and wield it with such beauty and compassion.
I am fortunate we are in each other's lives again, there is so much to hope for, dream about, work towards.

I am so very thankful our thoughts and goals wound up the same. The support rendered is deeply appreciated. Your visit to Saikland Greens is much anticipated. The family home and village are being made ready and they are all excited to see you and hope to show you the Mirrored Ballroom in honor of Tehom, the new archives for the Vellichor Scholars, donations of memorabilia to the War Memorial if you have a desire to see them.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
