Not every end needs to be reached through glory and honor. Sometimes it can be handled with a simple letter.

I confess I find masquerades a little dizzying. I want to know who people are beneath the masks we wear every day, and not to guess who people are beneath the glittering and sparkling masks made of silk, metal, and paint.
I'll attend more in the future, I am sure. I do not judge anyone who enjoys them -- and I do enjoy them from time to time, but feel I was still recovering from the last such gala. So anyone wondering if they spotted me -- I was not there, not even as a wallflower, which is a mask I often wear.
The poet in me wants to say I was not there because I am not a flower but a forest of thoughts and dreams.

I salute the new Count of House Grayreeve for his personal bravery and those who committed themselves to supporting him. The many actions which were taken to achieve this newfound peace and potential for a prosperous future, from both within House Grayreeve and beyond, were of vital importance to achieving this end goal. House Grayreeve has suffered setbacks and as a result we will strive to aid our vassal in stabilizing itself again. We shall give peace an opportunity to flourish and generate something greater than what came before. Count Thomas Grayreeve placed his trust in us, so we will take a step forward in faith to extend the same in him and House Grayreeve.
I would like to thank the Whisper House, first and foremost. One of the chief complaints leveled at House Deepwood was that it does not adhere to tradition. While it may be that House Deepwood has taken a path that one could not accuse of being traditional? It still recognizes the time honored institutions of our beloved Compact. Fortunato, the former Radiant Selene, and the current Radiant Bliss were all of extraordinary aid in this time of need and as a result the Whisper House has my thanks and respect. The Whisper House will always be among those I will turn to first for aid in easing tensions and deploying social graces, should circumstances allow.
Among others who provided their aid whether in martial strength, social power, and more? Lord Michael Bisland was of special merit among those who provided their aid. Naturally we acknowledge Duke and Duchess-Consort Bisland as well for their unflagging support of House Deepwood and the Woods are endlessly thankful to have such generous and dutiful lieges. Those of House Seliki; Count Orrin, Lady Peri, and Lord Kaldur all presented their best in their efforts. They were tireless in their efforts to see the turmoil resolved and, again, House Deepwood is thankful. House Riven likewise committed themselves fully to the task and we wish to thank Count-Consort Thesarin, acting within his role of House Riven's leader of war, for his counsel and advice on the path ahead.
House Whitehawk threw themselves behind House Deepwood very early on and that will be difficult to forget, Whitehawks have been friends of the Deepwoods. That fact was made clear yet again with their rapid support. House Deepwood would also like to personally thank Princess Reese of House Grayson for her willingness to step forward and offer her assistance in a matter that she could have rightfully ignored. Through her efforts toward the common goal, the issues that arose between House Grayreeve and House Deepwood were further escorted to resolution.
Finally, Josephine Arcuri. The former protege of Lord Grady Deepwood. Despite their official patronage drawing to a close, Mistress Arcuri has proven time and time again to be a continual friend to House Deepwood. She has our gratitude and will hold a place of significance in our hearts and will make certain that the people of Old Oak know of the many contributions provided to our people and our way of life by the integrity of the Guildmaster of the Crafters Guild.
Should someone unearth this journal and determine that I've forgotten an individual or group who has provided us their aid or otherwise contributed toward the resolution of this situation? Please write to me and remind me. I will offer that thanks personally. Otherwise, these are those who worked with me personally at some stage in the peace process. Each of them, whether as individuals or as Houses of our Compact, have the appreciation and respect of me and mine.

In other news, Brimy has made friends with a skunk. She found it out in the Laurent gardens, among some of the flowers. Thankfully Amari suggested tomatoes. I found the tomatoes helped some, but used some vinegar and that took care of the rest of it. Now, if I can just manage to keep her from her new skunk friend.

However, you might want to first figure out who you are addressing in the white journals before attempting to further explore the apparently tangled roots of your family tree, my lord.
It would be a shame to see you barking up the wrong one due to lack of attention.
Just a suggestion.

Construction on Port Eirlys seems well under way, and I, like probably everyone else in Stormwall, cannot wait to see it completed.
