Relationship Note on Alis
Delightful woman. A proud warrior Princess and Knight of her realm. Sparred her today, and she used a flail, a weapon I see very little of in the North, and used it well. An excellent bout, and I hope to fight her again.
She mentioned something about 'making sure she was in her steels this time', so it should be interesting.

Relationship Note on Audric
Man was losing a spar with me. Hired three bystanders to beat me to a pulp. Held on for a while, but eventually succumbed to the trickery.
Far from being upset, it just teaches me a lesson about dealing with Sellswords. I actually kind of like this man, perhaps I will hire him in the future.

Relationship Note on Aurora
How do I speak of one of the most complicated and (recently) sad people in Arx? She is fascinating, capable of the wittiest of verbal ripostes seemingly without noticing it. She is successful, running one of the best Clothier shops in Arx without breaking a sweat. But she has also had a recent run of horrible misfortune. I can only send her my best of wishes and let her handle her grief in her own way, hoping she returns to her old self.

My brother is entirely correct. While I do have something of a reputation (and I admit, not entirely unearned from my past history), I have never sired a bastard. Or treated a woman unfairly, I might add.
So yes please, if you feel I have slighted you, men from Stonedeep, come visit Arx. We can discuss it, as men should. And, failing that..Could always use more practice, I suppose.

I was raised on duty. It was spoon-fed to me, from the time I could recognize the words of the people around me. I have bathed in duty. Used it to explain, both to myself and to others, why sometimes, horrible things are necessary, to keep the world in order. Used it to shield myself from the terrors of temptation and abandon. I have been drowned in duty.
But for all the burden that can be, pressing down on my at times when I visit the wounded, or survey the reports of the dead, it is a blessing. Duty will see us through. Duty to our Houses, yes. That must always come to us. But more than that, duty to our /world/. But what does this mean? Long have I thought on this.
Our duty is to do whatever is needed to ensure the survival of our people. Our values and integrity. There are some values, like Thralldom, that debase humanity, making it lesser than it could be. These must be cast aside, in a fair and just world. But is now the time? The sad truth is that it might not be, at least not for a violent, sudden shift. House Thrax is a valued, Great House, and must stand with us, in the Dark Times that are approaching. They will need their strength for this. We all will. We must stand together. Train together. Fight together.
A Storm Is Coming. It aims to consume us all. I will not go quietly into that darkness, not while I'm still breathing. Mourn the Dead. Fight for the Living.

Relationship Note on Agnarr
That mountain of a man managed to fight me until we were both out of breath and needed to stop, with neither of us fallen. That's...Never happened to me before. Oh defeat? Sure, it happens to all. But never just...Having to stop. It was quite weird and unsatisfying.

And thus a night of conversation and whiskey ends with a bitter note that not even the sweetest of wines could cure. I am so sorry. Life is never fair. I wish there was something I could say, something I could do, but all there is, is silence.

Good fighter. Too big for this world. Fuck that sword of his. Can put away whiskey with the best of them, which only makes sense, because he has a stomach the size of a cow's to put it into.

Relationship Note on Morrighan
I barely know her. But at the same time, the face you see when they are deep in their cups is often the true face they keep buried. If that's so? Morrighan is a true Northerner, and a fine person. I don't regret making her drink until she was blind, because I was too. Good times, look forward to more.

I find myself laying here in bed, and staring at this wonderful ceiling that my cousin had constructed (I still think it's all a bit too much, really) and I wonder if this life is fit for me. But then I remember that every time I think that, something or someone comes along to remind me that there are good things in the world, even in this place.
Last night was amazing, from what I can remember. I might be dying from it, but it was good times, good laughs, and good people, and that's rare, in these days.
And some of the people I have met are so interesting and alluring that they quite make me forget I am in a strange city, in a strange land, with strange people.
Blitz also helps. He slipped into the city and thankfully was intercepted by a few Northerners that guessed who he probably belonged to. That rowdy, furry bastard. I missed him so much, and I think I'll have need of him, in the days to come.

That was..Spirit's /Balls/, that was a battle for the fucking ages. Morrighan is a true Warrior of the Cups. Gonna have a fucking medal made for her. I won, but..Did I? Fucking coffee and stew tastes like acid in my stomach, and I feel like I'm going to just pitch over and never get up again. Looking forward to that rematch, Morr...Wait, who the hell carried me home?

Well, it appears that, under the influence of some quite powerful stuff the locals here call 'moonshine', I was challenged to a drinking game last night. I, of course, stepped forward to defend the family honor and seem to have acquitted myself well, or at least well enough to just about beat out the champion, a Lady Serafine.
A delightful woman, that one. I enjoy a drinking companion that can hold her own in the ring and in the drink. I look forward to our next meeting, and to conversing again to all those I met that night. Including Prince Anze, who I am told is quite the sparring champion. I look forward to seeing him in action and learning much from him.

Relationship Note on Nadia
My Cousin is a forceful taskmaster when she chooses to be, that's for sure! For many years, I have either seen with my own eyes or heard from my relatives about her shrewd dealings and enormous personality. However, she is also one of the more earnest, kind souls I have ever met. From her depths comes not only courage, but the true spirit of the Nightgold family. I treasure her, and will do /anything/ to protect her and hers.
