If you get removed from your post for keeping a secret, maybe give it a full day before you decry other people for keeping a secret. Just a thought.

I suppose I was a fool. I thought things would start to calm down once we fended off the events at the Lodge. It makes me very sad at how very wrong I was.

While the world weeps, all the troubles and trials stack up in front of us. Bright sparks of light engulfed by a much more full much more encompassing darkness.
It's overwhelming. But there are small moments of solace even in the darkest of hours.
My eyes now see what was not seen before. There is a joy and a warmth to having my eyes open, even if I see what before I only knew of as a concept. To see it like a fog over the streets. It's heartbreaking. But there's also the points of light.
Shining beacons of light. Here and there. While we may be surrounded, we still have hope walking among us even in the most unexpected places.
I understand this journal is cryptic and won't be easy to understand. If you want to learn more you can reach out to me, I am more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

I don't believe I've ever seen you write in the Whites without mentioning how you kill people or monsters or how fierce you are. Not that I disbelieve it, just I don't believe I've ever even seen you in person. Perhaps we could engage in a Rite of Gloria together, and perhaps you can give me some advice on killing monsters.

We all love the people from our past deeply, and someone talking about them disrespectfully can be surely hard to handle. But for someone sworn to the Crown and Compact you are using 'you' an awful lot instead of 'we'. I think it's important to remember we're all on the same side here in Arx. Despite our opinions, we fight for the same Gods, and the same King.

Relationship Note on Daemon
When I returned to Arx, Sir Daemon and I became friends quickly.
Sir Daemon liked to clean things. He waged a constant war on the House of Solace making sure it was constantly as spotless as he could make it. For a couple months, I was a fervent supporter of Sir Daemon's cause. We wore brooms down quickly. I was eager to help him and be his ally in this effort. At the time I guess I thought it was fun. I was never a believer like he was, but I also had never met someone who believed so passionately in just... Scrubbing. The first few months I worked hard and we cleaned the House of Solace a dozen times a dozen. Any time we weren't attending to duties we were cleaning, a lot of our free time was spent doing it.
As the months went on, I guess the fun of it went out of it for me. Because I stopped. We had other things to attend to, all the time, things to look into and when we were finally off duty and able to have free time. Well, I went to have actual fun. Do something relaxing, make new friends, be with old friends. Be with people I cared about. I remember I would go by the House of Solace sometimes at night and see a single candle lit in a random spot. A few times I went in to get something I had left behind. He never noticed me, he was so locked into his task. After all those hours of his other duties, after his body ached and he sweat all he could sweat, when his mind could no longer produce thoughts, Sir Daemon scrubbed some more.
No one could clean like Sir Daemon.
When the filth and the dust creep in, it will be a visceral reminder that Sir Daemon is gone, his protection no longer with us.
I've never met someone more devoted. I imagine I never will.
After Stormwall, Sir Daemon was different. We fought in different areas. I rode in as part of the charge to liberate the defenders from the keep and then we set fire to the city. He was quiet, he fought well, but... He asked if we could go home. There was a celebration when we got home, Sir Daemon and I stood in the back. There were little pins handed out to everyone. It was a celebration that we were survivors we beat the Gyre. Daemon's heart was hardened by Stormwall, and he didn't take to the ceremony well. He gave me his pin and told me to give it to someone who deserved it and left. I dropped both his pin and mine on the floor before I left. I regret that moment, very much.
If anyone is reading this was at that ceremony, if you know what little badges I'm talking about. If you have one, I would be so grateful if you would reach out to me. He told me to gave it to someone who deserved it and I never did. I would very much like to rectify that.
He lost some of himself at that battle, he was never quite the same old Daemon. He was still one of the best men I'll ever have the pleasure of calling Brother. He was still the most devoted, the man with the strongest sense of duty. But a little piece broke off that never got put back on. I regret so much not talking to him more, trying to see if maybe we could get that piece patched up. I'll never get to now, and I will think about that often, for the rest of my life. He often spoke of his fathers lands, of his past. There was a history he wanted to visit, to act on there. If anyone has any information on anything he had looked into regarding his Barony, I would be very appreciative if you passed it on to me.
I can't restore his barony and I can't bring him back. But I can see to it that his story gets finished. And I can see to it that the House stays clean.
I love my Brother, and this pain will be one that lasts quite sometime. I ask that you all bow your head in remembrance with me, to the Knight of Devotion. Sir Daemon Dracone.

I'm confused. Someone brings up that you murdered a crew of individuals and your response is how silly it is that nobles take oaths or that Thrax keeps thralls? At least thralls can have their freedom bought. It's considerably more difficult to buy someone's life back. Is this all true? This man is just walking around like this is alright?

We patrolled only once together, and I had the thought that I'd like to do that again. You were quiet, competent, no judgement no rudeness if things didn't go exactly according to plan. It makes sense that you would go out giving your life for someone else. I wish we would have gone out on a few more patrols together, I wish I could have gotten to know you better. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten and as we stand against the enemy, we will remember your name. Rest until it's time for you to go back on the wheel again, I hope by then, we've made this place a little nicer for you. Thank you for your service, thank you for everything. I'm sorry.

Relationship Note on Vercyn
My Lord, with all due respect I do not think your argument is being misconstrued, I think it's just a bad argument. You're trying to say that people are rallying to Bliss's cause because of her popularity and throwing ourselves at her feet? For what would anyone supporting Bliss Whisper gain from that? In doing this she has knowingly risked her position as a Whisper, she has risked her good standing, she has risked everything to seek justice. So you encourage us to take a very big step back and ask would we care if it was anyone else?
I would hope that I would have the fortitude to support an unknown if their cause was just, just as I would support someone in good standing if their cause was just. However, I don't think this is relevant at all to the point. You just seem to be upset that Bliss has support at all, but you're not really addressing the arguments made. I disagree with your assessment that it has been abundantly clear that House Telmar is not trying to weasel out of responsibility. House Telmar has not made a good stance on this. Every apology has been backhanded, every statement has included accusation, and as I said before Bliss Whisper has been more treated as an irritating insect rather than someone that they as a House have committed a crime against.

Don't you think that's a bad thing though? If Bliss Whisper wasn't so popular, if she didn't have popularity, no one would care? And so Swords of houses can go about crippling people and stealing and making false wagers all they want? And you put the responsibility on a young commoner duelist who should have 'not taken the bet'? I thought nobility were the ones who were all about taking the higher road and taking responsibility. But it seems the last few days that is only the case unless it is very inconvenient.

I am disappointed. I'm sad.
You can say that it was not his to gamble all you want. But he did. And she had it. She had the blade and it was in her hands. It was given to her, it was in her possession. The traitor then came with aid and robbed her, and injured her severely. I am disappointed in Telmar for apparently wanting to treat this as a nuisance to appease rather than a crime. I am disappointed in the Duke for not being able to read the whole story and misrepresenting it in his response. I am disappointed in all those who are flocking about saying that Bliss Whisper is just trying to get personal gain.
What personal gain? She's made it clear that she is flexible on the resolution as long as the wrong is made right. House Telmar committed a crime. Their Sword, that they appointed, committed a crime(among others). And they're treating it like a fly they just want to go away. House Telmar committed a crime against this woman and their Duke's response is they committed crimes against the whole Compact so she should just relax.
Also nobles can just leave houses when they feel like it?
We're supposed to look up to you. You're supposed to be the examples for us on how to live with honor, you're supposed to lead the way.
