There are being so many things about the world that I had not even considered until now. Things are so different than I could ever have been imagining and there is still so much to learn. It is neverending here in Arx, and I feel adrift in a storm, unable to keep my head above the water, but knowledge is power in Arx and I will succeed. I just need to be having many conversations. I only need know where to begin.

Though it is a while since I have been in the Capital city of the Compact, my time among the people of the compact is teaching much. A final trip made to Ischia and I return a new woman, ready to dedicate myself as a whole to the Compact and all of its ideals. I hope I'm able to speak as well as I write soon, but at least the customs are getting easier.

The Softest Whisper Anisha was very kind, spoke with a warmth and was very welcoming of me into their ranks as an apprentice. This is only a single step in a much longer journey but with luck, the city will never forget me this time. I will make an impression that is not forgotten any time soon.

P.S. The scholars have informed me that my last line sounds "very sinister" and warned me it may send bad impressions. I guess I am just clarifying I mean that I will be doing good things. Like whisper work, or doing business. I am also going to be visiting your shrines to try to understand your gods. I am told that writing in journals is pleasing to Vellichor, so I have already taken the first steps!

Relationship Note on Rowenova

I am thinking that I have made my first friend since I am arriving in Arx, it is a nice thing and Rowenova is being a very gracious host and is inviting me to her home with Draven, another friend I am making. They are looking very good together and I am hoping there are more dinners! Nova is being a very good cook!

In my time of being here in Arx, I am learning many things. Most recently I am learning that I am not as good at drinking as I am thinking I am, and I am never going to underestimate Arvani drinks again. The food was good, but I am afraid that I am losing all of it to my sickness. I am hoping Princess Valencia can be making me another dish like it again, it was being very good.

Relationship Note on Faruq

I am hoping you are right. In the mean time I am happy to be having you and the rest of the family to remain familiar with while I go through this transition.

Customs of Arvani people are all at once strange and yet familiar. I have traveled far across an uncrossable ocean, never to return and learned that these people from a far away land are all so similar to the ones I left behind, and yet all at once so different and strange. I do not know how long it will be taking me to truly understand these people, but I am hoping that until then that I make a good impression.

I am Nijah. I have been told that writing in the white journals is good practice for my Arvani writing, and that it is custom to record thoughts to the journals. I am told this is to honor the gods and keep records. I do not know much of Arvani gods, but am eager to learn.

The scribe is telling me I am taking too long but I must write this myself.

Second day in Arx, still much to learn. Must find tailor, need local clothes. Found bar with good drink and food and meeting a lot of good people.

All this writing is tiring. Will practice more later.

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