Relationship Note on Emily

My sister seems thrilled to be in Arx -- there are no end of other explorers and travelers to speak with, to trade stories with, and I gather there's even an entire /Society/ of them that she plans to join, at Samantha's urging. I'm so happy for her that she's found her kindred spirits, though I can't help but worry -- I understand some of their number have died in recent excursions, or gone missing.

If childhood tales truly /are/ real now, as some keep telling me, it seems that those who explore the world would be on the front lines even more than we soldiers ever might.

Relationship Note on Samantha

I admit, I was concerned the marquessa -- Samantha -- might take it badly that relatives from some old offshoot branch of Deepwood showed up hoping to seek a better future in their ancestral line. But she's been absolutely welcoming, seemingly glad to have new Deepwoods around. I suppose she's lived the opposite of our lives in Grayridge; you could hardly set foot anywhere without almost stepping on someone else, but here... she must have been so alone. Two people -- and one child -- are not enough to make a lively house. I can only hope that Emily, Grady, and I can help her restore the Deepwood name.

Arx is so loud and bustling, with so many people from so many different fealties; it's quite unlike any other Crownlands city I've ever been to.

And the stories I hear! People talk of myths as though they've come to life and marched on the Compact -- and I'm told that's precisely what's happened. That children's stories are real. I don't know quite what to think of that, but it sounds like we'll need every able-bodied soldier we can muster for these battles to come, if even half of what I hear is true.
