Relationship Note on Haakon
Every year since has felt like a whole lifetime. There have been wars and losses I dare not count for the sorrow that would settle in my heart. However, I have been blessed to have my husband at my side through it all. I am grateful to have had five lifetimes with this man. A lady could not ask for a lord more dutiful, strong, and unlikely to tell her "no."
Of course, this is a dual celebration, as I like to tease him for getting a wife as a birthday present. I, as much as anyone, am surprised he has survived four full decades. And how lucky for him that he gets to revel in that with people so thoroughly dedicated to pestering him? (The children, of course.) (Yes, and also me. He is so fun to pester.)

Relationship Note on Haakon
Is the most suspicious thing to me
Unless perhaps I happened upon
A Dagonite in Abandoned tongue
Equally dubious, no mistake
Would be a map that is a cake
But the one that truly stops my heart
Is when fuckin' Savio thinks he's smart
The rest is questionable without doubt --
But when a bard makes plans, look out.

Relationship Note on Haakon
'Why is it so highly prized?
I do not see a point to this
Unless it can be weaponized'
I'm sorry that the pineapple
Is not really what you're hoping
But I will gently recommend...
That you should cut it open.

Relationship Note on Haakon
There's no putting it back in the bottle now, but our reach overextends our grip in the Saffron Chain, and we're all the worse for it.
I wonder what history will make of razing our way through territory that we laid no claim to, all in order to puff out our chests and look impressive, only to be caught with our pants around our heels when true threats came knocking at our door.

Relationship Note on Haakon
Dedicated to Lord Haakon Eswynd.
Their upkeep is a costly chore
You can't bring them close to shore
They're nigh on useless in a war --
And so we say, fuck caravels!
Consider a dromond, you twits
For the same cost, four more ships
Not bound to what the wind permits --
And so we say, fuck caravels!
For raiding a longboat is best
Throughout time it's passed the test
On every shoreline we possess --
And so we say, fuck caravels!
Even galleys, half-assed crap
Have their place in filling gaps
And luring the unwise to traps --
And so we say, fuck caravels!
Why do you soft-pated clods
Have so little love for cogs?
The best for all those trading jobs --
And so we say, fuck caravels!
Fashion is no base for sailing
Ignore that at the risk of failing
And all the while I'll be railing:
FUCK THESE FUCKIN CARAVELS.

I approve. Ardently. The Compact also has the maddening tendency to describe any vessel fit for intercontinental travel as a 'caravel'.
The Eurusi caravel (and the Arvani, for that matter) are radically different ships from the galleons employed by the Cardians.

Methinks that maybe lords who are more skilled with a pen shouldn't mouth off to any who write with the ink of blood.

We all have our off days but it takes a certain sort of character to consistently sound like they stumbled into the hallowed halls of Vellichor more than a little plastered.
Warriors of the Isles like to talk big, but it has always been funny to me how the greatest opposition they have sought over the centuries were helpless men, women and children to turn into slaves. It makes me doubt Lord Haakon's assessment of Lycene prowess.
He is, of course, welcome to prove me wrong anytime by publicly defeating any of our perfumed, quick to run, easy to kill duelists. I will brew the perfume myself.

He truly is remarkable. I wish the whole of the Compact had witnessed the Rite of Gloria.
