Relationship Note on Hickson

Those visiting Whitereef Hall might see a new addition, a Northlands shepherd named Sini. A fine and playful puppy, I've already seen her take instruction well owing to Lord Jyri's talents. But I've to thank Hickson Gales more for the fine gift: a companion and defender in an opportune moment.

Relationship Note on Gabriel

I am grateful for the faith you have in me, and keep with me. I hope that we can navigate the storm well together.

Today we grieve.

Some days ago a number of our House guard were slain, senselessly and brutally, our home defiled. We have since experienced not only the excellence of those commanded to come when such awful events occur, but also a great outpouring of assistance and comfort from all corners of the Compact, both from those we already counted as friend or liege and those we do now. They have our gratitude.

We will perform rites for the fallen, and clean what has been sullied. Our work pauses neither for terror nor sadness. Seliki have, in our history, largely pursued justice as a means to liberation. Nonetheless I have every confidence justice shall have its day. Today, however, we grieve.

[The journal is amended with a list of the fallen, including their names, surviving family, and time in service to House Seliki.]

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I've had quite a number of inquiries over recent days about Seliki pearls; the popularity they appreciate gratifies me greatly. If you are searching for a lovely bit of jewelry fashioned of our pearls, I would first direct you to Guildmaster Joscelin Arterius. In her capacity as Guildmaster, I would believe her to be more knowledgeable about the availability of Seliki pearls at market than I am at any given moment; in her capacity as craftsperson herself, I have not seen lovelier work.

House Seliki works with artisans on a case-per-case basis, after coming to mutually satisfactory terms that prize the well-being of our divers, county, and people above all. Diving is a dangerous calling, and we would see our people do it with rested, clear heads, that they return to the cliffs of Pearlspire another day.

Today House Seliki celebrates openly the decision of Prince Victus Thrax. I had planned, with the leave of his Majesty, to invite a former thrall to speak on his experience, and found that intention waylaid by circumstance. But hardly can I fret when the news is nothing more than my heart's oldest desire: to see that institution ended. The work of it, though: that only begins.

I find myself strangely steered by circumstance these most recent days; a messenger arriving at a particular moment, a bit of conversation overheard, chance meetings. It gives a peculiar gravity to what my eyes see, as if events are rendered more important by the good fortune that surrounds them. I wonder shall I let this guide me, or steer yet this ship by my own accounting.

I had occasion to go to Guildmaster Joscelin's shop today on an errand, and found while I was there the loveliest gift for my Peri. Also quite a number of Eurusi-inspired designs; I shall have to ask her how she came to craft such pieces.

I must admit I find myself at quite a loss for how we might interface with any of these emissaries that come to our shores. Of course, I have my own thoughts on preferable courses of action, and those I disprefer; but I find my grounding itself lacking. Shall I be called provincial, because I can scarcely keep straight where is Eurus, and where is Cardia, and from which each emissary hails, and their respective offerings? Glad I am that it falls to others to decide, but also dismayed. For Pearlspire, or her people at least, freedom is a rare new gift, a coin I fear others will spend more readily than I.

I shall keep my faith in the gods, my liege, and our king; may they see us true.

These are curious times, when the sum of one day's events is so large as to thoroughly obliterate memory of the day prior. I might have thought a vision momentous one day, but it is overtaken the next by the threat of subjugation of the Compact entire. I fear what monstrous deed or news will come tomorrow and bid me forget that.

Relationship Note on Kaldur

Kaldur has taken ill - or has succumbed to a fatigue I can only imagine - and rests with his intended looking on. I worry for him, which is no new thing, but more deeply of late.

My children will never dissapoint me. My heavy hand is out of fear for what this generation has been forced to tackle. A lot of them alone and without the guide of their parents. I am proud of their ambition but I worry that it drives them farther and farther from home, from their family. There is no hurry ohana, enjoy your youth. When you gros old, you'll have an eternity to explore beyond the horizon.
