It is cold. Very cold. Why did I move to Arx? There are no building sized snow drifts in Lenocia. Angry spouses might be worth the risk if I can be warm again.

I need to speak to the keepers of the archives as it seems someone came in one night, drunk I assume by the shoddy hand writing, and wrote in my journals. I do not know exactly what this "brown nut ale" is, but by the name alone it sounds revolting. Give me a nice Leoncian chilled rose wine and good company any day for me.

Just for the record, Brown Nut Ale did win out in the contest. I expect all Thrax taverns to begin stocking it immediately.

Relationship Note on Catriona
My sister-in-law is very devious. I sued to think she was the more moderate when compared to my wife, but I think I am very much wrong. Anyone who thinks they can control her is sadly mistaken.

I was tricked. It was not my fault, and I whispered, I swear.

I left my wood out in the snow. I can't find it now. I have to wait for spring and see what can be salvaged.

Relationship Note on Apollo
He told a fascinating tale about the discovery of oakhide. It has be wondering what other types of materials are out there we simply have no knowledge.

I have been told my work on divine servant armored gown for the Bravura Exclusive met with high praise. I am afraid I might be touched in the head like my cousin as I was so involved in my work I forgot to attend. I am uncertain if doing so was a lost opportunity, or something I will thank the pantheon for later.

Relationship Note on Cerys
I am told the Princess was overflowing with praise at the commission I completed. I am still proud of the Goldenwood feast table and hope word of it will inspire other great houses to have something of the like in their residence, if only not to be upstaged by the Princess. She is in the end a very generous soul for taking a risk on a crafter like with little to no fame.

Relationship Note on Gabriella
I must hire better messengers. He said he had delivered the message to the Princess herself. Do not see how that was possible with her back in the city only very recently. I feel shamed my words ever cast her in a poor light, and must remind myself my name is not like it was back in Leonica. Some patience is needed to be practiced.

Relationship Note on Jan
Now this is a high noble who does not act like she was and more like myself. Approachable to a point (do not bring up marriage), and willing to assist me. I might take her up upon it if I backslide into previous behavior and have an angry spouse or two hunting me. She did develop a fascinating and intricate variation of the game Stones. I think the game is fine as it is, but then again considering how much she lost to me, I would think such. Still, perhaps next tie I might play a different faction so I can loose, and have both of my arms attached to me and not beaten blood by them as makeshift clubs.

Relationship Note on Gabriella
I tend to not believe much claptrap about when people say things about the people and nobility of Setarca. I am after all from the heart of Velenosa lands, and there is still bad blood upon the water/ Perhaps it is why the Princess did not even respond to my offer. For myself, I am but a simple armor smith with a desire to see all soldiers and more of the Compact protected, and I know my work compares favorable or better to what is out there. My cousins say I should be better off than I am. Perhaps I would be if my own work effort was different, but alas I cannot let a person wear one of my work without it receiving the refined care I give it. I have even lost money because of my work effort, yet still provided quality craftsmanship at the end. Perhaps one day my name alone will be enough. It is clear such is not the case today.

Relationship Note on Delilah
I understand while I am a highly skilled craftsman and armorsmith, and not all might not want my services. I am also certain noblewomen like the Duchess Consort have many demands on their time Perhaps y expectations were high and colored having only know other high noble from Grayson. Still I do not think it paints me too much wrong to expect some response. Again perhaps it is me and my expectations.

The uniqueness of this wood is something I have never encountered. The texture, the hardness of it, the weight, all of it defies expectations of other types of wood. I do know however this table crafted is among the grandest ever done by myself, and I challenge any other craftsman to match it.

I know it is an audacious challenge to convention but chain metal drapes instead of the traditional silk or other fabric. I think it would be fitting tribute to a room to celebrate Gloria

Oh a new messenger, from Princess Cerys none the less. I hope she finds me agreeable, as once more I am in need of silver, in order to work more...and eat. I heard eating was important. Not sure where. Perhaps they were having a jest with that one.
