I have traveled to the ruins and seen them for myself. I suspect I will return there often over the coming days, as I intend to escort as many caravans bearing supplies and people intent on the rebuilding effort as I can. It may not be much, but it is something I can do.

Cora is being gracious and not yelling at me when I speak of battles to come as I sit here wondering what happened to the left side of my face. There will be more battles, because I have inherited my Uncle's Stubbornness and we fear no enemy.
Now if I could have inherited his battle prowess I might be doing better.

Trips on the horizon.
Sand that shifts, as light as a dream. Within water, clear as glass. As light touches, a million colours of the rainbow. Locked away in the grip of a skeletal rocky hand that reaches out from the depths. Very dangerous as the sands shift and change.
Caverns of old, smooth to the touch. No stairs in sight as serpents slither. A well and a gate hidden away.

Sometimes you get a nagging feeling. Something is different or off or not quite as it should be, and yet you are unable to place exactly what it is that is unbalanced. I woke up this morning with that feeling. I suppose as I piece through the world to find out the cause of the heaviness, I should update my will.

I rode for Artshall the moment I received news of what happened. I will spend a few days here helping start the process of rebuilding.
Then I will visit my mother and my children.
Then I will return to Arx and start showing those who would harm my family and my people what happens when they cross the kin of Jonathan Baseborn.

The heart is a muscle. It does more than keep time. Sometimes it aches for people you have never met, and sometimes it batters the cage of your ribs like a bird trying to get out. Is it the heart that makes you brave, or cowardly? Where does the soul live, scholar?

Sometimes, the politics of nobility seem oh so tedious.

The events that unfolded in Artshall have given me a firm resolve to take a more active duty within Arx. Thank the thirteen I lived another day.

I find myself tested in a myriad of ways, some I have never experienced. I wonder how long my patience lasts.

The Saving Grace, and the many surgeons and physicars who work there, have saved my life on countless occasions. never once have they made me feel unwelcome or a burden, even when I have been the worst of patients. To all of the Mercies and physicians.. you have my undying thanks.

I will be travelling to Artshall, that I might give what aid I can, what support I may. Its people were dealt a cruel blow, yet I do not hesitate in believing House Laurent will rise again.
Blood has been shed. Yet the heart still beats.

I awoke today after being downed at Artshall. I had dreamed of seeing a dragon with my own two eyes one day.
Now I have one and my caretakers were afraid that I would not make it. I'm guessing I stayed longer than I should have. I don't even think I noticed how badly injured I was given adrenaline had taken over.
My heart is broken for the people of Artshall. I wish that I could have done more, I always do.

So many souls gone to the Queen of Endings, so many more left behind.
The shrine's been busier than usual, which is always a mixed blessing. I'm guessing it's been busier for you, too, Scholar? Figured. Everyone wants to lay some thoughts out when big stuff happens, and there's nothing like realising people you knew are back on the Wheel to make you stop and think a bit.

In times of great loss comes the test of great strength, now you know how strong you can be, how much pain you can bear. You are cetain that troubling times don't last. I can't imagine how Artshall must feel, but I have no doubt they will build just as strong as before. I know Wyvernheart will aide as much as we can.

A milk run, he said. It will be a milk run.
I don't know much about cattle, but it seems to me, it was all of the tugging and none of the cream.
Fucking Artshall.

Hearing about the falling of Artshall has made me very sad for the people. There's been so much loss lately, it just doesn't seem to ever get easier. But I'm certain they'll rebuild and be as strong as ever.

Digging through rubble is no easy task, chip away a bit of mortar here, haul away a bucket of dirt over there, help roll a stone out the way and sing... yes sing, sing loud and long to let those trapped in the rubble know you are there and trying to get to them, give them hope. It is hard to sing when one's throat is choked up with sorrow and fear yet determination and years of training help to soldier through that and continue. The Song of the Sentinel was what I sang, the one that lets people know he is there when one is troubled and have a thrist for justice. This horrible mess is most definately in need of justice to correct this wrong-doing to Artshall and its citizens.

The sight of artshall in ruin is almos indescribable , but even in the gravest devistation there are a glimmers of hope as i saw some survivors that had taken shelter in the hospital there rescued.. This would not have been possible were it not for the bravery of one individual battered and scared who managed to crawl through the smallest of crack in the rubble to bring help to her fellow survivors. A true inspiration as are all those who managed to survive

An alliance between the furthest reaches to our North and the vast expanse of islands and seas to the South. Surely a match that will benefit both Houses greatly, as discerning as I know the Marquessa Proscipi to be.
