Relationship Note on Yvon
The Goodman Yvon rightly acknowledges that the shav'arvani lack the guidance of both Faith and Crown. Yet he claims that this proves a lack of civilisation. Under such logic, not only are the Dune Kingdoms of Eurus uncivilised, but also the Skykingdom of Cardia, the so-called "Undying Empire" of Jaidairal, and even the Nox'alfar, allies of the Compact and progenitors of Her Majesty the Queen Symonesse. To be clear: Eurus, Cardia, and Jaidairal all practice heathen institutions, for which they will no doubt be held accountable--and Gods willing, it will be soon. But to be detestable is something altogether different than to be uncivilised. There exist shav'arvani holdings which rival any of the houses of the Compact in structure and organisation. Even their heresies are governed by hierarchies not dissimilar to our Faith. It is a foolish thing to underestimate our foes.
And this is where the Goodman makes his greatest mistake. The proper response to an enemy is not to enslave them, in contravention of Lord Skald's principles of freedom. It is either to conquer them, utterly, or to kill them. One may conquer by force of arms or by words, but in any case, it must be absolute. This is what has brought many shav'arvani into the Compact, where they have become civilised. But doing so by means of thralldom is wicked, for it renders us no better than our former masters at Caer'alfar.
That I, a woman who has on many times declared that the choices available to the Abandoned must be limited only to obeisance or death, must make statements in defense of them, is proof of the utter evil of slavery--and of the paucity of the Goodman's logic. I advise that Goodman Yvon take time away from the Shrine of the Thirteenth and reflect upon his thoughts at the Temple of Lord Skald.

If every time an orphan succeeds are we in debt to the deaths or disappearance of parents? If every time a widow or widower succeeds are we in debt to murder or disease?
I have succeeded in many areas, I wonder who we are in debt to for my successes.
Often times people succeed in spite of their circumstances not because of them. You bring up a handful of examples of thralls who have done well. How many thralls have been stomped into nothing, their lineage completely forgotten, everything about them gone. Thralldom is not something that empowered individuals to do well.
Babies can deal with some unpleasantness yes. But I am surprised that this was used as a comparison. Being these children are extremely vulnerable a child that feels unpleasant may soon be sick. And in the very young, unpleasantness can turn into fatality rather swiftly.
I realize Mirrormasks are to consider what most of us would not. But are these unfair and exaggerated arguments truly the best way to go about it? Just a little mirrormask type thought for you there. Have a lovely evening. If you read this. I suppose. Bye now.

Perhaps you ought to go to Eurus, it seems like they're more suitable company for the likes of you.
Slaver.

Relationship Note on Karadoc
I tolerated your inclination towards lounging, your use of haze and other things. I respected your tenacity (always a surprise, given your laziness), and admired your eye for quality. Your ability to rub silver together and breed more was a thing to marvel at. We shared a common vision of the future, you never failed to kindle when I would describe what I meant to build-- our passion for each other was fueled with visions of fertile fields, new villages, the thump and rattle of my cloth mills, the looms they carry inside.
You did whatever I ever asked of you, without failing or hesitation, and most importantly, you have given me the child I wanted. The only thing I ever wanted, the only gift I asked you for, finer than the gowns and jewelry you showered me with. The greatest jewel you've ever granted me, it sleeps beneath my heart.
I did not love you but I was proud to be your wife, and knew you as my equal. I pray our child has your wicked mind and provoking smile. Your legacy will be one of cleverness, of growth, of passion.
They will know their father, and I will not know a better husband.

My skills for writing are laughably terrible. Not at all in the right way. I had wondered if I could find a good play to put on and get others to help. Not so easy it seems.

Fashion is far away from what I'm comfortable talking about but I would not be surprised if the lack of textile supply might lead to a shift to leather in the forms of the so called shadowmeld leather as well as cardian snakeskin and I've started importing the latter while it's still cheap.

However, I think the delightful flower is wrongly maligned. For in times of hardship, it can provide sustenance. For the injured with shallow cuts, a poultice made from this flower can protect against infection. The beautiful golden color is often used in dyes that are looking to transfer it's bright countenance. Oil extracted from it's petals can be later used as a base in cosmetics. There are so many uses. None of them bring pain or grief upon the subject.

You must study each of them. Not stare solely into the mirror, which may help you understand yourself, but not all answers are within. Some you must find from others.
