There are many in the city who would disagree with the display placed in the Crimson Square following the apprehension of three traitors. To some, such punitive displays of violence are distasteful.
Ivan Helianthus and his sympathizers hide under the blanket of 'tradition' so that they might find some protections for their abominable actions. Let no slaver or their follower every find a safe harbor - in Arx, in the Isles, or anywhere else in our world. Such evil can only be fought back with sufficient violence of action. The just must, on occasion, wield virtue as a weapon to banish the wicked. The penalty for treason is clear.
We've plenty enough wood for the crosses.

I am pleased that I might be able to play some part in helping my sister and uncle to build Blackshore back up. If friends and family are to be believed, I do so with at least a shred of competency. I pray that we stay the course.

The Isles are fortunate to have champions of progressive ideals in positions of authority. When a tradition outlives its purpose, it must die just as anything else. Time is unconquered, and progress marches on.

How fortunate I am to have the family that I do. For all of our troubles and superstitions, there is a greatness to Blackshore that is apparent within our walls. I can only pray to serve my siblings and cousins in the manner they deserve.

I don't suppose I've ever taken to Arx the way that my siblings have - I loathe to make landfall here and give up the sea once more. With civil war in the Isles becoming closer to a reality, my hand is forced. I have to help Blackshore make preparations for the war to come.

I live in the crown apartments fourth floor number 9. The apartments are a little bit showy. They aren't quite noble apartments but they are nice.

Relationship Note on Eris
And yet I get lambasted for offering honest compliment just because I am not as well spoken as many.
The hypocrisy in this city abounds.
I apologize that you were exposed to such rudeness.
I know I intend to do better, and have, been doing better.

Relationship Note on Elgana
I have the worst luck when it comes to women.
Or maybe the best.
I think it's the worst because I find myself attached to those I simply cannot marry.
I could try of course, but first Agatha would try and kill me, and then Darren would laugh at me, and tell Agatha to kill me.
For some reason that doesn't end well, even if I won, I think you'd get angry I hurt your big sister.
Damn it all.

Relationship Note on Mailys
I wish I could do right be you as you deserve.
You saved me in a way nobody else could.
And I cannot even repay you or acknowledge it.
One cage... to another... I wish I could break these chains... but these ones are unbreakable.
I wish it were different.

I understand.
I understand why you did not wish me to go to Setarco.
I understand and I hate to say that you are right, I would lose myself in battle again... and that's the last thing people need to see and think of when the name Blackshore comes up.
Damn this is hard...

By all the Gods and Goddess of the Pantheon, there is nothing more heavenly than a bathe, with soap, and clean hair, after two years of hellish captivity.

She has scars, too. That's my fault.

Arx. I don't know why people thinks city is all that, worth dying for, no city is worth dying for. The only thing that's worth dying for is your own freedom. The freedom of those you love.

Relationship Note on Skye
Now Baroness Blackshore. How the world has changed while I was away. It could be worse, it could be me, or Dycard, or worse yet /Father/ named as Baron of the House. What a disaster that would be. She's always been smart, surviving hellish places, now her chances just went up.
