Sometimes silence is more a loud and telling answer than hours upon hours of empty words.
Sometimes silence means absolutely nothing at all.
The key, and challenge, is reading it right.

Relationship Note on Talwyn
Setting a deadline is the worst way to inspire yourself.
Clearly we need to find you better inspiration. Perhaps a change of surroundings?
Find me for a night for cards at the Spirits.
I'll bring the whiskey.

Of course gifts from me will be useful. I'm not going to give you anything that you can't use in your duties.

It seems like everyone believes I should worry about things. Yet I do not. What good is worry. What could I change?
I find I miss Marcel. I hope he's doing okay in Pridehall.

And so we move on to our next quests for the Templars. To recover that which was lost, to build new to replace what has fallen by the way side, and to hunt down those who still persist in opposing the Gods.

I believe that to be well rounded and to help serve the people of the Oathlands, and to help Kedehern with the Agriculture college, I need to learn more about the land, how to work it, how to grow and nurture it. I already possess a great deal of knowledge and skill with animals, and the wilderness, but not actually learning to work it the land, to understand it, to support and sustain it. So that it may flourish, and thus we as well may do so too.

I continue to spend a great deal of my time in the Great Archive. I am starting to miss the forests and woods. Accompanying Amari on her circuit will be a nice break from the books and scrolls.

The restored memorial at Merchant's Gate is a work of art - on the part of not only those who restored it, but those who crafted it long ago. I never thought that such an ancient weathered thing could be so beautiful, but I was mistaken. The love and dedication in the work of those who have made it new again is obvious, and it is a captivating reminder of our difficult history. The memorial should be seen by everyone, at least once.

Good to hear as regards those who murdered Alrec. I do miss his swagger and watching him fight.

The season of sourgrass comes,
shy, lovely beside the carriageway.
My mistress gathers the stalks in her arms
like so many sheaves of daffodils
across her dark shoulder, green, gold.
I remember the alley beneath
my childhood window, rifted with sourgrass.
One by one I scraped their stems across my teeth
shivering with the delight of winter
along my tongue,
and with the dreamy expectation
of my master's carriage crushing them
beneath his heavy wheels.

The challenges we face havn't been the ones of our own choosing lately. Knowing I wasn't the only one to rise up and help people when they needed it, that meant a lot to me. I am honored to have stood alongside you.

A lovely evening of tales was hosted last eve in the Muse of Mourning Gallery.
Mistress Karina is a very talented artist. I am glad I was able to pick first among the paintings displayed before they sold out completely.
A fine addition to the Laurent Gallery.

Relationship Note on Alrec
I make no secret that I never liked Admiral Alrec Magaldi. He was an obnoxious, overly-eager man who lived entirely on the philosophy of asking for forgiveness instead of permission. Or, if I am frank, mostly on doing what he felt best regardless of the opinions of others. But whatever my opinion of Alrec was, he served Pravus and Pravus takes care of its own.
Today we have the murderers of Alrec Magaldi in custody and justice will be served.

The first time I saw the old memorial to Goldenpyre at the Merchant's gate is a day I shall remember forever. It opened my eyes to the wonders of the world, and to the history of Arvum. I always stopped there when walking past, studying it, wondering about what happened. I later did learn what happened there. The story of Goldenpyre and Aurumadin has inspired many paintings after this; they now hang, hopefully, in halls of estates across the city.
So I wish to give thanks to Dustin Nidhogg, Master of Questions Prince Laric Grayson, Princess Sorrel Thrax, Guildmaster Josephine Arcuri and Captain Ajax for their restoration of this memorial.
As Arx endures, we will never forget.

I've had a few itneresting weeks again. Most weeks are, truly. Radiant Bliss Whisper herself joined the Harlequins! I was quite star struck, but I believe I didn't make a complete fool of myself, and even if I did, well - fools are entertaining.
It brought to attention something which might be keeping people from joining the Harlequins; though a major part of a Harlequins work is midwifery, councelling the bereaved and offering funeral services, there is room for much more. I mean, look at me - Second First Harlequin, one of the voices of the discipleship, and I don't know the first thing about midwifery, I make an awful grief councellor - though I suppose I'd perform an outstanding funeral service, I wouldn't be anyone's FIRST choice for such a thing. But I am passionate about my godess, and I want to spread her word across Arvum. I embrace life, Her gift to us all. Between birth and death, there is a life to live and she wants us to live it and not squander this gift. I take joy in talking about her, and to help the Harlequins in other ways; collecting money, hosting events, spreading her word. So, if you ever thought the Harlequins interesting but felt unsure? As long as you have the Queen in your heart, you are welcome. It is not up to anyone to decide what god or godess you want to follow and become a disciple of. The Radiant Bliss Whisper proves this. I prove this. If there is a longing in your heart, then follow it. Your God or Godess will know your love, will they not?
I don't know quite how it happened, but it seems I'm spending more and more time doing research lately. Some personal mysteries, and helping others. The scholars at the archives know me by first name by now, we have a jolly good time discussing all sorts of topics, musing over old tomes and interpreting the words. I suppose I caught on to a thing or two by mere exposure and these days I don't even find it THAT boring. Must never be afraid to change your views!
