You are my regret. I hope, in another life, I can make it up to you.

Relationship Note on Dagon
You will see no sadness or regrets expressed here regarding the death of the former Duke of house Tyde, in spite of the fact that I got along with him well enough in the past. Perhaps if he'd tried to exert his claim before he sat back and allowed division to run rampant through the Mourning Isles for years, I'd have been among those to follow him. With the way that things shook out, however, the only thing his death brings me is relief. Perhaps now those who were following him will see sense so that we can turn our attention to the true enemies we have.

Maybe this is how it was always meant to end. Maybe we'll meet in the next life. Maybe we'll be better in that one.

Relationship Note on Dagon
I do not seek to center this man's tragedy on myself. However, when faced with tragedy, one must reflect on the roles we might have played. I was High Lord when my now brother-in-law challenged and defeated Dagon. He came to me in the days that followed. He knelt in the gardens at the Palace while I stood and asked me to be a champion for his cause, and I declined.
I have since been blessed with nieces and nephews for whom I would not change a thing, yet I cannot resist retracing my steps, returning to the memory of that day, and meditating on the choices that led us here.

I will continue pushing forward with determination indeed. I have so many great role models to live up to, I have no doubt I will succeed in every endevour! I would love to spar you again, perhaps to show how far my training has taken me.

Relationship Note on Dagon
I'll admit my understanding of combat is very rudimentary best, I know how to wield a weapon properly though my desire to use one is far from any comfort once in hand. Should the need ever arise I'll be grateful for the lessons Duke Dagon has patiently offered and in some manner I'll be able to repay that kindness in turn.

I'd nearly forgotten how pleasant Duke Tyde's company can be, even when we're only meeting to discuss naval missions we're undertaking together. I've come to have a great respect for him, a perfect match for Duchess Margot.

I must remember to take Dagon out to the woods - and he has promised in turn to take me out on the waves. Though, we need to pause all hijinks until we can get Margot to agree to stop going on dangerous missions. Accidentally wiping out the Tyde again would look careless.

Relationship Note on Dagon
I find that when you have to publicly reaffirm your trustworthiness. You are untrustworthy. There should be no need to be so defensive when you've got nothing to hide. In fact making an issue out of nothing is the quickest way to draw suspicion. I'd advise against it, but such words would no doubt fall on deaf ears. I can say this much however, no one truly cares about hurt feelings at a time like this. Put on your big boy britches and stop being so divisive and inflammatory. I can congratulate you on one thing though. You've moved on from airing dirty laundry in the whites to full blown proclamations. That is amusing in and of itself. Sad, but amusing. When a matter is laid to rest, let is rest. Time will be your greatest ally in mending the reputation of your House, acts such as these only lend credence to those who would discredit you as being spawn of the Abyss and a treasonous turncoat. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you really are starting to resemble Donrai more and more everyday.

Relationship Note on Dagon
It's always perturbing to see such a lack of solidarity from one's own kinsmen. Did we not grow up under the same roof? Were we not both viewed as outcasts among our family? Did we not both strive for acceptance? Are you not named the Sword of Maelstrom? Yes, understandably, some things may not have gone your way. Though it is not in our ways to make petty jabs at one another. It does no one justice to see that you wish to stand apart so desperately that you would willingly jest about the relations that some of us have worked so hard to build. Your own sister has put blood, sweat and tears into Thrax. Do you not have a beautiful wife and a Duchy that was left in your care because we have faith in your ability to tend to the lands that our ancestors carved out from the inhospitable isles? Ours is most certainly a brusque, direct manner. No one will deny that, but the High Lord has made friends in every corner of Arvum. To speak about our willingness to corroborate with any other vassal of the Crown is disrespectful to the efforts of those who are putting their best foot forward. Set aside whatever differences you may have, imagined or otherwise. If you have issue, take it up with us. Do not air dirty laundry in white journals for sympathy.

Oh Dagon, I only kicked you in the shins because I couldn't reach your nether regions. Rest assured cousin, one day I will hold that sword! Besides, it has been several days now, and no matter where I am looking. High or low, I still don't see a gift. Not a single little token of your affection. I guess I will have to settle for that quick wit of yours, it is a gift to us all. I love you cousin and I promise to never ever throw a knife in your general direction...on purpose...unless asked.

I always feel super awkward when I trip over people in the shrines who are actually there for serious seriousbusiness reasons and not there because they don't know what's going on and hope someone will tell them. Dagon is one of the people I met there -- he was all serious, sitting in a vigil, but I saw him smile by the time we were done talking, and I think I might have done some good. That was a weird feeling, but kind of a good one, too. It seems like he has a hard road ahead of him, but also like he's willing to face it. I wish him luck on the journey.

Relationship Note on Dagon
My cousin was the Designated Heir to Donrai Thrax. For most of his life he believed that he would take over our House and guide it onto a different path. Who knows, perhaps he still will.
But not yet. I won't go into my reasons. Ultimately they matter little beyond the fact I did what I did, and it is now done.
I challenged his right to rule and he accepted. This is the Thrax way. He fought me in the Courtyard outside the Thrax Estate here in Arx, and I defeated him. Though he lost, I admire that he had the courage to face me himself rather than seek a fucking Champion to stand in his stead, and I admire that he never once yielded. In the end I have more respect for him now than I did when I uttered the challenge.
He still lost, though. And while he ultimately swore his arm to me, and I accepted his oath, I expect that was not easy.
It never is, having your path redirected towards an unfamiliar future.

I am glad to provide what support that I can to Prince Dagon Thrax. He has a long road ahead of him, and if I can provide any guidance or counsel, he is free to seek me out.
