Relationship Note on Narciso

I was at the Shine of the Queen of Endings and saw a skull devoted to Inquisitor Narciso. Which reminded me of a debt I must pay. So with Limerance and Vellechor as my witnesses, I make good on this shit.

*The Scholar writes that she produces a hat of green leather of questionable color taste and begins to slice pieces off with her alaricite scalpel. That done, she proceeds to chew and swallow the leather.*

I didn't believe he was an Inquisitor. I said if he was, I'd eat a hat. He was. I have fulfilled my vow.

Relationship Note on Narciso

Would've liked to know him better. Pleasure listening to him talk, pleasure listening to him spin mazes, figuring, no, hm, knowing there was something at the center. Long paths are wonderful when you don't know the destination. Would that he'd gotten a longer one this life.

Relationship Note on Narciso

You were certainly different, and an honorable death, worthy of any song. I'm sure you would have loved to hear it.

As promised, I will continue in my journey, and make my own life something worthy of song.

Relationship Note on Narciso

Narciso -
When some madman walks into my hospital looking for imaginary people, my first reaction is to call for Doctor Ira's orderlies to cart him off to the home for the mentally not-all-here.

When said madman claims to be with the House of Questions, I give him a 'what the fuck' look and tell him to get a real Inquisitor to come back and verify that.

But when he started to sing and bring peace to my patients... I forgive him his madness.

And he's related to Blacktongue by all accounts which explains MUCH.

Now he's dead. Died honorably fighting the foes of the Compact, King, and all humanity.

I will eat a fucking green hat in his honor at his funeral.

Relationship Note on Narciso

A lovely night of companionship and theological discussion with a good friend ended on a truly sad and terrible note- news of the attack, the storm, and worst of all, the loss of Narciso.

There are those who would think that as Archlector of Limerance, no one could ever teach _me_ something new about Limerance, the gods, and love.

And yet, his madness revealed new truths to me about all of them, every time we met. You will be missed, and you will be mourned, my friend. The world is darker for your loss, yet your example and your sacrifice will be a spark for the light of our people to push back against the dark.

Farewell, my friend.

Relationship Note on Narciso

I only met this man once. I wasn't sure what he was doing on that trip to the Gray Forest. He didn't seem to care for agriculture at all. He didn't seem to care that we were trying to be quiet either. I might have snapped at him, as politely as possible, when I was trying to listen for signs, clues, and all I could hear was him.... Some have called him a mad man, and yes, I can see why, but he was also intelligent and exceptionally creative.

Later in that trip, when we were running as fast as we could towards safety, the very thing that annoyed me greatly, became the very thing that likely saved our lives. It made me wonder if perhaps even the initial annoyance of noise had some sort of purpose other than grating on my nerves. At the close of the trip, I had found myself instead of wanting to glare at him, wanting to meet him again, in different circumstances, so that maybe I could better know the man, and his thought process. Now, I will never have that chance....

Narciso, I am sorry you left us so soon. Thank you for what you did for us in the Gray Forest. Thank you for all those you helped. May the Spirits and Gods bless you during your stay in Elysia. You will not be forgotten.

Relationship Note on Narciso

Master of Madness, we missed our tea
Your never got to sit across from me
While I would have enjoyed our banter
Your placecard got taken by another.

I do regret we did not take the time
To fence with words. Oh I do so pine
For another song. For another rhyme.
A wordsmith's lament for a fellow scribe.

You machiavellian scamp, you did place
Your mark upon every faithful scion's face
For your sacrifice, your selfless act
For our beloved Crown and unified Compact.

The Sentinel's justice wears many guises
You understood better than the pompous pious.
Never afraid to play the fool, while laughing
At our strict etiquette, never ever questioning.

What could be lost in pursuit of personal power,
Sacrifices to darkness don't come without razor
Edges that cut so deep and altared intentions
That corrupt absolutely from twisted corruption.

Thank you for standing strong, for making sacrifices when it mattered most. I urge the Scholars to collect his songs, his words and publish a memorial verse of his greatest works, so we never forget that brilliant spark of madness.

Relationship Note on Narciso

I did not know him as well as I would've liked. He seemed kind, if not a little strange, but strange in a good way. He had a certain name for me that I enjoyed to hear. 'Lord-doesn't-know-his-house' I think he called me.

I also, even though I never said it aloud, enjoyed his singing. He seemed, all in all, like a good man that I wished I was able to speak to me.

Arx is poorer for his loss. Mangata guide you, friend. And sing me a tune when we meet next.

Damn you. Damn you for leaving. Damn you for seeing it and not getting out of it.

You deserved better, mad man.

Relationship Note on Narciso

The loss of Inquisitor Narciso is an intense lost for Compact.

He had a special kind of wisdom that only comes with madness.

He helped to keep us safe in the mission into the Gray Forest.

His wild madness became a kind of genius and am not sure

we would have survived that mission without him.

He had such words of comfort for Joslyn after Lady Juliet died.

I didn't know what to say, but he did.

He had a gift finding the right words.

And for truly understanding the mind's others.

He is not replaceable and his loss is a great one.

He will be missed.

Relationship Note on Narciso

Narciso Artiglio, a Confessor who died,
On his stone ought have these words inscribed:
"In a pinch call me,
for a rather small fee,
I'll find out who, what, where and why!"

It's so irreverent. It's the most I can offer, perhaps, to the memory of mad and glittering eyes.

Relationship Note on Narciso

The Confessor fought well, before he was felled. He stood up for righteousness or perhaps his own perceived view of right. I can not make assumptions of his aspirations or intentions, as I didn't even know him. If I did, I can't say that we were familiar to one another.

What I can say is that he died a heroes death. I can say that had I been able to reach my goal just a few steps faster, there is the chance I could have been in his place or landed that blow earlier.

My elbow hurts. The burns on my arms sting worse than anything I've felt before. It's all a trifling matter compared to the fate suffered by the Inquisitor's Confessor. Gods watch over him in Elysia.

That would explain the raucous braying sound that shattered the peace of the Archives, Confessor Artiglio.

Relationship Note on Narciso

always a shame when a man of the law damns himself to pun-jail.

Also, as a side note, after a long talk with Gisele, I am feeling both incredibly light on my feet, far more well-informed, and of the feeling I will be watching the quality of my journals more closely in the future...

Sorry about that, Vellichor.

Relationship Note on Narciso

We have not met but I do enjoy your wit. Perhaps you'll like my poem and pay me a visit. I do so like to wordsmith and you seem up to the challenge. Come...read my words and see if it sparks your interest.

The Inquisition came by for tea.
Oh what a happy event for me.
The dark cloaks do fit so well.
Inquiring eyes that want to know.
How social tidings and friendships be.
Crown and Compact, the topics I see.

A knife to cut the butter.
The subtle flick of a cup.
Oh your manners are befitting
Of circumstance and pomp.
What a wonderful guest.
My dark and shining friend.

I do not understand why
Anyone would even try
To leave you off the guest list.
So please, come by and have a cup
Of my faithful, devoted brew.
Cause I have nothing to hide.

Do you?
