There is to be no happiness in my future. I am thinking of leaving the city.

Time to visit Artshall again.

I find myself frequenting home too often, but with purpose. I long to see how the new tribes have settled and more than anything, I'm in search of the perfect place for my new project: right in the center of the city with fertile ground beneath it.

I cannot wait to honour the memory of my mother and offer more to the people of Artshall.

I am utterly distraught over the death of Lady Arcadia. Having once been a Grayson vassal I got to know her quite well at family dinners and out and about the ward once I came to Arx. She was so bright and full of life and had a curiosity that put my own to shame! She was always keen on her next adventure and if one didn't present itself she would create it on her own, often to dazzling ends. She was like one of the brightest stars in the sky of Arx that I took for granted would always be there. I find it hard to believe that she's gone and I won't turn a corner to hear her laughter or chatter concerning her latest projects.

Her loss comes on the heels of Sister Juniper, someone who I did not know altogether that well but hoped to had life been less busy for both of us. I often found myself perusing her whites an, finding like-mindedness abounded, writing her letters here and there. I was thrilled to see her hospice idea take hold and flourish. She had so much kindness to give that it does not surprise me at all to hear that she sacrificed herself for the greater good and that her impact sends waves throughout Arvum to this day.

They will be both be keenly missed.

Relationship Note on Arcadia

We weren't close enough to even half understand each other, so there's a lot I could say but don't have any right. Hope you get to the Wheel safe.

I arrived in the city and immediately stepped in a puddle and then I slipped straight onto my backside and soaked my dress in said puddle. This is not how I imagined my first day in the city. I was meant to waltz in, smooze with all the celebrities of the city, have people fall at my feet, chanting my name. But no. I am wet and dirty and I told someone they had smoldering hair and nice teeth.

On the upside, I met Prince Niklas's wife! I am one step closer to meeting THE playwrite. Omigosh!

In my cups tonight. Memory keeps me company. Walks around and makes funny faces now and then. I don't remember all of them.

It's cold. The coals are stirred up and I'm thinking about these last few months.

So much has changed. Different patterns, different fears. Choices are different too. The Road has shifted. Doesn't look like I thought it would.

Maybe though, everything really will be alright?

An odd time of joy and sadness. On one hand finally I am married. Which is it's own oddity to say. But Arcadia's falling reminds me just how fleeting life can be. I will miss her wit and her charm. I'll just miss her. I hope... I don't even know what to hope after such a loss.

Relationship Note on Niklas

Oh! So it is Prince Niklas. One slip of the pen and you are thanking the wrong person for books. Obviously, I need to meet this Nikias of the close but not right name.

Golden Hart is finally filled with a lot of people again, while I was visiting there. There were new faces, and some old familiar faces too. Bonus, it is finally the proper temperature outside. I am going to skate around the city before the winter is out.

The fighting event was fascinating -- though more from a business perspective than anything else, really. It makes me dream of a fairground for Chevalle...

I'm a little disappointed in myself for not making it to the Tournament of Thorns finals. I thought I did a fine job, myself, but... well, sometimes things are simply not meant to be. I'm glad someone I know made it, at least...

Relationship Note on Gabriella

Oh I do so hope Lady Gabriella likes "Murder Rum". It was somehow hard to find a bottle to share!

How curious, for such a... unique product!

I have been reading so many of these old things I have forgotten to make my own. Hello, future historians: I am doing well and am very busy with this and that. The winter is awful, but it always is north of the Lyceum. I'm told it hasn't even really started yet. I am considering hibernation.

Here is a question for all of you readers: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

The building of the Ward of the Great House of Pravus has been going better than expected, even in the shortage of some materials and a few accidents along the way. It has been inspiring to work closely with so many workers from the Lower Boroughs to make something that is fitting to Arx, our Houses and our people. Soon the entirety of the city will be able to see what we have wrought.

This would not be possible without the peoples' faith in us, and our mission against tyranny. We will continue to perform admirably and bring the enemies of the Compact and the Faith to their knees.

It's been a while since I have written in you! Hello journal!! I had an idea. I am going to spend this winter trying to convince Darren of my idea and to study how to make this happen! I want to begin my idea in the spring. I want to improve agricultural trade! I want to create a network of farmer's markets in the Northlands. So many of the communities out there are agricultural. They need the best support they can get! I just need to figure out where to start.

I so rarely make anything for myself these days.

Still, after putting together something for Acacia I realized it was high time I did so.

And so now I have a jaunty vest.

I think Orathy would like one, if he ever comes out of hiding I'll have to fit him for one.

My eldest brother, Andreas, has finally made it to Arx for the first time, and boy it's such a shame he's barely gone out of his ship --The Crimson Voyager-- to enjoy it. Sure, I get there's some nasty rumors shadowing him; but, I promise, the man is a good man! He won that ship fare and square. Whomever says otherwise is most definitely lying.
