Relationship Note on Mabelle

After hearing the news of Lady Mabelle Laurent's death, I was deeply saddened.

Upon my return from what was presumed to be my death, she was one of the people who welcomed me back and had questions to ask, all of which I answered in kind.

She was generous and always willing to lend a listening ear, as well as provide information. I had many questions of my own, which she took the time and patience to answer.

It was thanks to Lady Mabelle's idea that I could revisit the place of my family's death, learn from it, and draw strength. Lady Mabelle never judged me, and she never asked for a price in return for her help. Despite having met for only about a year, I considered her a dear friend.

Mabelle the Builder was a woman gifted with a unique vision and the will to make her ideas come true. Artshall is fortunate to have had such a dutiful, faithful, loving daughter and is all the poorer for her loss. I will miss her and hope to see her again in my next turn of the Wheel.

If I could have my opinion heard regarding who deserves to be in the Oathlands' section of the Hall of Heroes as an addition, it would be Lady Mabelle the Builder, Mabelle the Stalwart, Mabelle the Generous.

May the next generations of the Oathlands learn from her what it means to be dutiful.

No matter what they've said, I am not dead yet.

When Highhill was destroyed, I wasn't in the keep. I was close enough to watch it be destroyed, but not close enough to fight alongside my brethren. All I know is that my relatives are gone. My sisters are gone. Almost every legacy of stone and steel of my family is gone.

What isn't gone is my blood. And the blood in me calls me to defend my new home, Lenosia. I do so for my wife's sake. I do so for our children. Those here and those yet to come.

If the horde marches on Lenosia, let them know that Prince Jasper, the last blooded knight of the Steelharts, will meet them in battle.

Now that I have finally opened my eyes to the underlying truths of this world, this stand will not be my last, for I have many debts to pay in deeds and oaths to fulfill.

I am not defined by my suffering and my agony, but I draw on its power to defeat the enemies of my new House, the glorious and mighty Velenosa.

And I will remind these enemies of a simple truth, written in the words of the House of the Fox: No one may harm us unpunished.

Should I perish in an untimely fashion, Her Highness, Most Excellent Princess Fatima Thrax will inherit my armor and sword so that I may fulfill my word.

Relationship Note on Paige

I didn't personally know the Countess Paige, but her death in the midst of Arx is greatly disturbing. I do not have an eye for investigation, though increasingly, I wish it were otherwise, so I could assist those who have not found justice.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I'm sure it's a shock to no one that fashion is not really my thing. Still, some impressive works on show during the Crafter's Gallery. House Steelhart is proud to support such an endeavor. Well done to Guildmistress Joscelin and all involved!

Relationship Note on Norwood

While I have only recently made then-sir-Norwood's acquaintance, I found him a steady, loyal, and gifted knight. Such a great man can only make for an excellent Baron.

Returning to Arx even after such a short time away feels like returning to a different city.

How did the world get so strange and different while I wasn't looking?

On the advice of my cousin, Seth, I have joined the Academy of War. The meeting I attended was eye opening in a lot of ways.
