The nattering doesn't stop. Refuge in my home serves me well, though it means I trod through the blasted snow. I have taken up someone to reside with me. The Blessed Brigida. There's something odd about an Archlector residing in a home, but she takes refuge the same as I and at least we can sit about the table and talk about the young things flitting about the city. I'll have to see to a garden properly put in the back now that someone is there.
I wonder if people will make rumors now? Unlikely. They have better things to gossip about on their lips that two elder woman.

Lord Kedehern's work with Lord Rohran and other members of the house to keep the roads safe has been a boon and blessing. It's an honor to have such a productive and hardworking member of House Laurent.

Relationship Note on Rohran
Finely done work on those patrols that swept through the southern Oathlands, it brought a significant amount of peace to a region that was growing increasingly dangerous.

Nobody knows how they're going to react when they're faced with combat for the first time. I've seen the roughest, most well trained fighters turn and run at the first charge. The first time I killed a man, I threw up and couldn't keep anything down for two days. You don't know until it happens. And you don't really know until you've forced yourself back into it a second, third, maybe even a fourth time.
And you certainly can't know just from looking at someone. Make a guess, sure. But you can't actually know.

A whole Oathland's house gone. The idea is a terrible though the action abhorrent and a great loss. May they find peace and may the Oathland's faithful find those responsible.

It's been an interesting day. There is so much going on, and on. I am glad to see at least some of the fighting and feuding is simmering down across the Compact. Now if only we can manage to get the rest of it to simmer down, I will feel somewhat better.
And yet, then I will wonder what we are missing. And where.

Relationship Note on Maja
My words are my art and though they are not always perfect perhaps all they need to be is heartfelt. Worry not, Maja of the curls, you shall have it in time.
You will be the Golden Lady in my story - beloved by all.

I suppose I'd be remiss no to also document congratulations for Lady Peri Seliki and her house. Her for her promotion, and the House for it's dedication to defending not only themselves, but the coasts of Arvum. I should really send a gift, but what sort of gift befits an Admiral?

Lady Joslyn is wed and advances in her life now as Countess-Consort Joslyn Rivenshari. It is always a bitter-sweet moment to have a member of one's house marry out, but as our diplomatic bonds grow stronger, so too do our people.

Relationship Note on Lottie
Miss Lottie makes scrumptiously delicious pastries and sweets!
I am in LOVE with her craft; and, find her whimsical establishment to be splendid.
I shall be visiting it more often from now on!
Ps. She makes those delicious southern treats Martino shared with me, when we were visiting Southport.
I have found that I absolutely ADORE chocolate covered honeycombs almost as much as tea.~

Relationship Note on Harlex
It's to Harlex Valtyr, Captain of the Crimson Blades and Sword of Lenosia, whom I owe a great many thanks to. Were it not for his support, House Champagne might not have been successful in our endeavors to secure vital trade routes between the Oathlands and Crownlands.
We were also able to put an end to violent men of House Beaucage who sought to ride down the prodigals fleeing for their lives, aid a group of Knights of Solace, and so much more. I shudder to think what the outcome of my journey would have been without him.

I have heard that the Tourney of Thorns possibly has a folly as the grand prize.
This is most unfortunate. As I have said before, I will say again. Humans should not participate in follies. This is not about humans being /more/ and acting past their potential and overcoming hardships or outperforming expectations. Follies are just not meant for us. We all have such potential, all of us. If a Nox enters a folly, and dies, they can still live out that potential.
If a human does, and dies, they will never be able to accomplish the important things they could have accomplished. While skill may help in surviving a folly, it is also sheer fortune whether one passes out of it or not. It is a holy rite dedicated to the Queen of Endings. Perhaps one day, when I feel that I have accomplished all I can, that I have made a difference and my job is done perhaps I will enter another Folly and return to the Queen and see her smile.
But if humans have things in this world they wish to see done, people they wish to see again. They should not participate in follies.

It has been far too long since my brother and I had a moment together. Despite trying to put business aside, it was difficult as we are both ridiculously responsible people. There was an unanimous agreement though during the conversation. Our parents had four beautiful, amazing children.

My cousin, Marvella, wed a man of House Steelhart. By him she has three children, and though he was lost during the King's Rest, he has never been forgotten by her or our House. When word reached me of the destruction of the entire House of Steelhart, I was shocked. Raids by and against the tribes of the Shav'arvani are by no means unheard of, but for an entire House to be slaughtered...
