Relationship Note on Octavia
My heart goes out to Chief Magistrate Octavia Kennex and Stormward. She has named me Acting Chief Magistrate of the Court of the Crown. I don't take the responsibility lightly and thank her for thinking of me for this honor. I shall do my best to live up to the good Lady's name while she deals with the situation in her March.
House Bisland and House Grayson have already begun pledging aid with it's vassals. We support House Kennex and the eventual end of thralldom.

I'm taking to the magistracy with aplomb and vigor. I thought it would be odd at first to be on this side of the bench but it feels natural to me. I still grow restless after a few hours of sitting and need a recess to stretch my legs. I don't like sitting still for long. Luckily now if someone is prattling on during a case I have the authority to make them wrap it up -- another perk of the position.

I am glad the renovations to the Bisland Manor are just about complete in time for the Bisland Meeting of the Marches this week. I would not care to host our esteemed vassals and guests in an active construction site.

Relationship Note on Shard
We are all biased by our own experiences. I've studied the law my whole life, so I tend to see things through that prism. If you see things differently, I would like to discuss that with you, whether you're a scholar or not.

Relationship Note on Shard
What part of my words do you disagree with? The pursuit of justice is often just that -- a pursuit. We must remain diligent in such pursuits. The Sentinel is the only one who might know true justice. The rest of us will simply have to settle for the closest we can get to that. If you wish to meet with me to discuss the finer points of my views on the subject of justice I welcome it.

Justice is the most discussed and most important objective of The Compact of Arvum and our society. It is the foundation of well ordered human living. By nature and against the propriety and decency of our better judgement, we are but slaves to our own selfish desires. Justice demands the regulation of our own selfish actions by securing fair distributions and equal treatment of equals. It is therefore our imperative to propitiate to the gods with our sacrifice for justice. We must sacrifice our own selfish desires to protect the Compact from those who would seek to destroy it. We must break the slavery bonds our own selfishness has on us.
And we must punish those who refuse to make this necessary sacrifice.

I'm looking forward to seeing my brother Gabriel again soon. We have much to discuss and I miss him.

A question was asked of me today on the subject of the Sentinel. I professed to be of the mind that the Sentinel held no more hold on my heart than any of the other gods but in reflection I think this is simply not true. I just don't reflect on these sorts of things often enough to be getting into philosophical discussions on them. My faith is perhaps simply too personal to me. I much prefer to argue about the more tangible, after all. And I do love to argue.

In recent days I've found myself reflecting on Limerance, vows, fidelity and virtue. I can't explain why.
