Relationship Note on Iseulet
As a woman of few words, and little comfort with recording my thoughts too extensively, Lady Iseulet has outdone herself. This trade route was an almost impossible achievement made possible through the Empyrean's philosophical belief in getting it done, together. Well done.
Most notably I'd like to thank all of the trade routes other Houses and organizations providing escort so that our goods get where we need to go. These pirates were ambitious and very well informed but thankfully nothing too ill came of it, other than quite a few memorable engagements.

People had best be glad I am married, or I am fairly certain the two of us would rule the merchant world.
We still might.

Relationship Note on Iseulet
That was such a lovely event last night! It was very exciting. I don't do social events terribly well, but at least you were asking questions, and I could answer. I'm not sure all my answers were good ones, but at least I didn't have to try to come up with conversation out of nowhere.
I hope you will return the honor and send a delegation from the Empyrean (delegation is a fair word, isn't it?) to the destruction of the Shrine of Jayus. So too do I hope Whisper House will send people too. And wine. If we can have people stage-managing the wine and the refreshments, that would be helpful. I'm not very good at that sort of thing.

Relationship Note on Iseulet
I do not think anyone ever cast any doubts to the hard work you have put into your business, Lady Blackshore. No aspersions were cast towards your gathering of resources, or the depth of your passion for your project.
I will however, respectfully, put forth the following points:
No where in any of the publicly available information on your establishment, has there been any mention of charitable donations. Not until Lord RedTyde spoke of rejecting a salary here in the whites did it come up -- and I will further add, that I myself said it was entirely possible that it was a charitable organization, I just had not heard such. So, some forgiveness should be offered for those of us unaware of its status as a charity, not unlike the Golden Hart or Heart in Hands. But with your passionate declaration, we can all be assured that you intend not to make profit for yourself.
That being said, it must be pointed out that, by your own word you have been giving funds made from sales to House Blackshore. As you are a member of that House... that is not, precisely, charity. It is a loyal thing to do to your Family, but I, personally, do not view that as charity. I view that as receiving income and using that income to further the rebuilding of New Hope.
As to the nature of business and competition, yes that is a foundational principle of economics. But you can understand, given the nature of the historical relationship between the Peerage and Whisper House, how it might appear for an enterprise run by a Lord and Lady to appear to enter the same arena as a commoner House? Perhaps it is simply a hang up of my own. Whisper Lumen and Archlector Aureth did not seem to find anything wrong with it. Still, it makes something within me unquiet. That, however, very well be my own issue and not yours.
As for the clearance received, that is, most definitely the only bar that needs to be met. If you were authorized to set up your business, then peace be to you, you have nothing else at all to prove.
As to the misconstruing of the 'threat to Whisper House'. That, I believe was taken, not from Whisper Natalia's words, but rather from my own inarticulate reference to the Empyrean being in 'direct competition' with the Whisper House. That was all me, Whisper Natalia had nothing at all to do with that.

Where did that come from?
I suspect Lady Blackshore has me mistaken for someone else. I hope.

Kenna brought me a set of books to read upon the customs of marriage and courtship. Now be it said I have no intentions to make a match of any sort yet. Nonetheless, a book is a book, worthy in its own right of appreciation for what information it harbours.
No sooner did I open the covers than vanish away into a personal conversation with a lady I have never met, and she escorted me through the finer points of a matter with sensible eloquence and gracious wit I wish somehow could be purchased in the marketplace. That is to say, not nearly enough people demonstrate the rare conviction of explaining things clearly and engagingly. Evidently I need more extensive connections with her, something to put on the to do list.
If she speaks anywhere near as well as she writes out her thoughts, it should be a conversation to remember.
