Relationship Note on Khanne
One of my younger cousins but the wisest shaman I know. Some might think that because I travel I might be more knowledgeable or attuned to the spirits. This is not the case connection with the spirits is an intangible thing nurtured by spirit and my cousin has much spirit.
Some might say she is like a strong whiskey. Yes I read her whites.

When I was reluctant, you gave me courage. Permission, in a way. A gentle nudge which has led to so much good. I am immensely grateful.

Relationship Note on Khanne
Khanne is my sister-in-law, married to my brother, Lord Percephon Halfshav. I have enjoyed our meetings and I have enjoyed getting to know her more and more as the months have passed since they have married. I know that her time is limited and I don't begrudge that our meetings aren't as bountiful as others are. For now I take what time is given and I'm happy for it.

As well, Lady Khanne, do you hold such a warm place in my own heart. Your kind words are more generous than I deserve! I am no less grateful for them. Time does seem to conspire against us, but I am glad for the missives as well as chances to make a little something. The idea was yours, so I can hardly take credit for just putting your lovely image to metal. Still, that it had a place in your very courtyard is an honor I'm so glad to have! May you and Lord Percephon create many memories sitting upon it.

Relationship Note on Khanne
There are days that you just need a little something to brighten it, sometimes with out even really realizing it. You just feel blah or tired or what have you. The ledgers don't feel fun or the like. In any case, I don't have such days often, but on at least two of them, I have received a surprise from the extraordinary Lady Khanne. A generous woman who is, herself, a bright spirit, I am so grateful for her kindness. Some time ago she sent me the most adorable otter paperweight, which sits on my desk to this very day. Today? Candy! Not just any candy, but some from Mistress Lottie's shop that was made to look like an icicle. I love it! And needed it today, it seems. Truly, they don't come much more wonderful than Lady Khanne.

Per my last journal, I found my sister. For the purpose of historical records. I won the fight. We will see who won the challenge.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I spoke with my sister-in-law today. She is part of the family now, we shared a few stories. Afterward, the High Lord managed to start a bit of a drinking cheer at the Spirits, then I saw a family reunion of sorts. So I thought, family.
I am almost six years my sisters elder. We were both born in Whitehold and I feel as if we never really met until Arx. I know many families, many people talk about their childhood with their family members. My childhood from the age of fourteen to the day of my majority was hunting and scouting and war. It was glorious and it was honorable and it was full of companionship. It was not full of family, not my kin anyway. No, my sister vanished into the woods and expanse of the North. Some might think I was close to Brianna, but we weren't as children. My cousin Seax, to young to have joined me in my early years. Even my distant cousin Wylla had run off for love of Jayus. My Father the Sword of Whitehold watched from afar, much like my Uncle.
It may sound bleak, but it wasn't. I had a family, I have a family today. We met, we ate, we learned... Well, Khanne and I learned, the elders they taught and they suffered our youthful troublemaking. If you asked me I could recount a dozen tales of times with my sister, but they were not any more special to me than time with a friend. Not then, not now.
I was named Sword of Whitehold and entrusted to protect my family, my people, and safeguard their honor. I was chosen by my father before he died and I remember very well what he told me. The secret to being a Sword. Love of family. In my youth, I saw it as loyalty to family, honor to the family, strength to the family. I took his words and I applied every virtue but love to the meaning he meant to impart.
As the years passed I stayed in Whitehold. Khanne came south, Brianna came south then north then south again, and my Uncle traveled to and fro. I stayed in Whitehold. I stayed for the people. I stayed because I had little interest in southern politics. I stayed because of loyalty and honor and strength to the family. Four years ago I broke with that tradition and came to Arx. I met my sister, a passionate young shaman. I write this truly it was not until four years ago that I stood a Sword of Whitehold for love of family and it was my sister's spirit and dedication to the people of the Compact that did it.
Should you ever see her, think well of her reader. Should you ever see me looking for her, have sympathy. I do but seek the sister I love but never knew.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I may wish to be frank about average human likelihood of embodying ideals (we are not ideals), but the extreme of bad that evil represents is always worth fighting against. I am given to doubt and to looking too long in the shadowy spaces. I want to understand. But I also would find truly evil actions, such as torture and slaughter, indefensible.

Relationship Note on Khanne
The truth is a difficult thing to pin down, and is the omission of it the same as dishonesty? Would you tell someone you hardly know all of your intimate secrets? Beyond that, as a story teller, one must always be able to read their audience, and to determine what appeals to them in the moment: this is not the same as lies, for these small omissions are for the sake of brevity, to keep them engaged, and to get to the point of what matters to them. Fear and embarrassment are two other reasons lies might be had... it isn't always about a purposeful deceit, I do not think.

Relationship Note on Khanne
The objective truth of any given answer is not necessarily relevant. We learn either way. Not simply of the other's trustworthiness, but more importantly what they choose to show, how they wish to present themselves. That is telling in and of itself. We don't always lie to deceive. Sometimes, a lie is a hope, a belief that we might, for a moment, be something other than we are. Let people be as they desire to be seen. There is always a truth in that.

Relationship Note on Khanne
Once again I find wisdom in the words of Shaman Khanne. Every oath should only be entered with strong consideration and caution. No oath should be broken lightly (and only in the gravest situtations), for one's word is something they only truly hold power over. Being a knight, I know a person's word is a reflection upon their honor and a knight with no honor is no knight at all.
However, being also Lycene, I know that not every vow and oath is for everyone. A fidelity vow for some is torture and they require multiple lovers. While this is not the path I desire, I am happy with my fidelity to my wife, I do understand some do not feel the way I do about it. That is alright.
My point is, one should not enter vows and take oaths they know they can not keep. If you do not know if you can or can not keep the vows you wish to take, self reflection is something that you should dive into. It is something to understand the truths of yourself before you can enter any use arrangement. If you know you can not keep your vows, enter vows that are in line with something that you can honor, at least in that regard, all shall know what to expect from the arrangement.

Those who know me will know that I have my own issues with the shamanistic paths, and am somewhat rarely in agreement with the practitioners of them, particularly in regards to where they fit within our society. However - I have rarely heard a statement I agree with more than Lady Khanne Halfshav's recent entry regarding the vows of marriage and the duties of fidelity. It is written with wisdom and in the spirit (ha - forgive me) of good leadership.

Lady Khanne,
I would be more than happy to take notes on future occasions. I'm sure there are other scholars who would be similarly interested as well.
Again, thank you for hosting.

Thank you and the others, Lady Khanne, for hosting us at the Grove. I find I only have more questions and look forward to more gatherings. You said, '...knowledge is the key to opening so many doors.'
My mother had a different saying, 'All the doors are locked if you don't try them.' Between the trying and the knowledge, I hope to open more doors.
