This Faith related trip is becoming more and more interesting the more I read about it! Was there a bard present to put it into song? You could have a ballad, one about fighting Sentinel's Reflection, and a lullaby to have the little ones go to sleep inspired by Legate Orazio...
The possibilities are endless!

Yes, but does Archlector Aleksei really qualify as an Oathlander? He'd be the first to deny the origin!

Now, remember what you said about us making a great team in the journals? You wouldn't want to kill such a winning combination!
Also it's unbecoming for the Grandmaster to threaten anyone, uniThena.

Silver's Lament - by Itzal Culler, composed on commission.
Lilah Shay was a Metallic.
Of her the bards still sadly sing,
Champion of a realm fair and free,
Between the winter and the sea.
Aglow but one of many names.
Yet all saw her faith burn like flames,
Its warmth a shield for the bereft,
The rallying call of the blessed.
Her sword was long, her lance was keen.
Her slaying of Galrigor seen,
By all those beneath heaven's field,
Protected by bright Silver's shield.
But long ago she flew away,
And where she dwells now none can say,
For into darkness fell her star,
In Eurus where the shadows are.
((Original song: "The Fall of Gil-galad", by Tolkien. Changed lyrics around to make it more befitting Arx))

Breaking news: Princess Sabella has confirmed the reports, which may be based off of completely inane chatter from the whites, that Bastien, now to be known as Sir Bastien the Sullen, has been knighted in the Order of Grump. I'm told the ceremony was quite beautiful, and that many tears were shed. In other news, Orathy Culler, ever the progressive humanist, has been making waves in the hopes of bringing further attention to the plights of the common man. Will this hero ever rest? I'm told that he won't, dear reader, so long as a single soul yet remains in poverty.
Why he's not joined the Knights of Solace yet is anyone's guess, but I'm told Dame Thena accepts any and all donations from those who may wish to encourage the hero's efforts in making the world a better place.

Relationship Note on Bastien
I am glad for the confirmation that I am not, in fact, a ghost none might see or hear. You are, Bastien, ever a pillar upon which one can rely, without whom we would all descend into a madness worse than death. Indeed, should I one day gain a royal boon, know that I would ask for your ascension to knighthood at once.
No, no, no need to thank me.

Not to worry, he's not really encouraging hatred towards physicians, especially not the ones taking care of the Boroughs! It's just late for him and someone really should have put him to bed before letting him write more journals.
Yes I know I'm just drawing his ire. Just part of my selfless duty to all people of Arx.

Now now, uncle Orathy isn't REALLY full of hate for all silks. He's just filled with the spirit of Gild! Sharing is caring, and he holds the virtues of generosity above all!
Now, Bastien, on the other hand, is all hate and grumpiness.

We are ever glad Your Highness is so quick to offer himself as exemple. The rewarding of a pet is nothing new, as Archlector Aureth remarked, for, after all, did Velenosa not give one of their dogs the title of Prince? And now look where it took him!

It does seem like a slap in the face of all knights, past, present, and future. And makes in turn a mockery of the title.
But you heard the king! All those unhappy with the result just had to work harder in defeating Prince Victus! Probably should too, before he has the king knight his various bits.

New question for the people spending far too much time in the Whites!
What is knighthood, what is it being a knight? On one hand, it is apparently complex and highly regarded enough to warrant an Academy.
On the other hand, a cat just earned knighthood from His Majesty himself!
So which is it?

I have been asked if I ever felt like giving up when I hit a wall while writing a song.
The answer is no. For one I tend to have a few going on in my head so it's less like hitting a wall and more like a river branching off. Secondly giving into despair is a waste of time and incredibly dull. Moping around for days about how one's a hopeless failure does not appeal, though I'm told it's popular among others. How they don't wither away at the sheer boredom is beyond me.
