I do believe I need to have a conversation with a Godsworn, because I was unaware that being worthy in the eyes of the gods meant they would bless me and let me succeed in life, as opposed to attempting to live out my life with integrity for its own sake. I very much wonder how the many, many people who strive daily to adhere to the virtues laid out for us and still suffer hardship and setbacks must feel.
Not worthy, I suppose.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin
So you're saying if someone questions her, she'll refuse to do her duty? Along with ensuring that those under her command will not do their duty? All because of a few words? Hello, cronyism.

Nor am I seeing why it matters to you, either, but there it is.
Are the journals of Vellichor only for some people to write their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and accounts of their daily lives in?
More seriously, my concern is that reacting with emotion does not aid anyone's case. Given that the debate is about something I do not believe anyone would not consider a grave matter, I found that it wounded the defense to essentially shout down another because the way in which he questioned things did not contain the supposed correct quantity of respect.

Relationship Note on Reigna
Countess Reigna, your journal was rife with emotion. It was, entirely, an appeal to emotion. We need not know one another for any one reader, myself or otherwise, to observe that. You concluded the entry concerning Derovai Voss with a statement about respect, which I posit is something of a virtue rather than a hard fact. It struck me that your dispute with Voss was less about what he is asking after than it was the way in which he asked it.
Ignoring everything else going on in this, I shall ask you this: Is it wrong to ask questions, even the ones we personally find offensive or distasteful?

Relationship Note on Thena
But you aren't a noble. Nor did I name you, specifically. In fact, your journals do not read quite so emotionally as another's. Looking at yours again, I see you write "I can only say what I saw..." So there's that.
I could accuse you of being a Godsworn attack dog for nobles too afraid to sully their own public image, though. Note, could.
I am not, nor do I believe it.
It would be hilarious though if a third-party then started to question the validity of such an accusation, and ask that factual evidence be provided so as to stop the unsavory members of our society from dragging another person's name through the mud, only for yet another person or persons to jump in and start muddying the waters further.
Mood lightened, yet?

What's this? Nobles getting their nice silken underthings in a twist because a commoner has asked for a truthful accounting of what has occurred so that all who read the back-and-forth in the Whites can instead be settled rather than allowed to continue to blow up and alter perceptions of this or that individual.
Hardly surprising.
Remember, kiddies, when faced with difficult questions, or questions at all, really! React with lots and lots of emotion. And, if you can, put down your questioner by reminding them of their place. Their small, lowly, meager place.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
