If you ever have the opportunity for a giant tentacle covered sea monster to vomit another tentacle covered sea monster into your face, pass it up.

Relationship Note on Monique

My dearest Monique,

As you know, there are no messengers going from Setarco to Arx, those that would carry individual missives. But the scholars are hard at work archiving the war, and so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone by sending this entry in the form of a letter to you.

I was on watch with the Valorous Few today, and placed in defense of our friends, those with the beautiful voices. They apparently have fans in the sea as they do on land, for some terrible creatures were keen to do them harm.

You will be glad to know I am unhurt, and there were no casualties on our side. Princess Tikva collapsed from exhaustion, but was well-tended to by Lady Ianna, who is here.

I will write next when I can. I hope all is well at home.

Yours always,

C.T.

The defense of Stormwall went as well as expected. All things considered.

May the record give us all the respect we have earned. It would be a shame for the credit to not be laid at the feet of those that earned it.

It seems the Lodge of Petrichor is in danger. It would seem that foul forces arise against it! The lodge is such a valuable asset to the entire city! It cannot fall. I just don't know what to do! I have sent warnings. I felt as if I was being more of a nuisance than anything. Perhaps I should make a pest of myself until something is being done.

Lady Khanne, Valery, and I replanted some of the suncatchers within the stone grove. At first, it seemed as if the earth itself had grown dormant and drained of nutrients. However, having already prepared for such things after the Bringers drained the soil of the forests, I had plenty of that fertilizer left! We tilled the ground and added a couple of the suncatchers. Lady Khanne even did a ritual to summon the spirits to guide us. They awoke and I heard their voices! They were quite delighted to have some of the Suncatchers within the Grove! They gave us help and nourished the precious plants. In return, they gave us a warning and asked for our aid...

I can write. The words are difficult to speak, but I can write.

I am grateful to Princess Ann for teaching me to write.
I am grateful to the priests who guide us.
I am grateful to the Gods that protect us.
I am grateful for those that fight.
I am grateful that I live.
I am grateful.

But I am not worthy.

My beloved,

I live and will return to you. No prophecy will predict the demise of what lies between us. No demon will separate us. Our love is as deep as the ocean, as unstoppable as the tide, as constant as the sunrise. Though distance parts us now, we will be together again, as sure as the storms will one day break.

Wash.

Relationship Note on Cicero

No words can express this grief and ache. The emptiness and loss. None.

You cannot be gone. Life cannot be this cruel, can it?

What will I do without you? Why must this happen? How could you leave?

You are always in my heart and will be until the day I die, my sweetest Cicero. And then beyond. As always. As ever.

Sweetest dreams. Know that I will see you again. I promise.

My first battle since the baby, and so soon after! I feared, for the first time that I would not come back to my little son. I have always been a cautious woman, affairs in order before I leave for dangerous deeds. This is the first time however that I felt my heart clutch at the thought of not seeing Samuel's tiny nose of feel his small, soft fingers curled around mine. He is so little and the world is so dangerous these days. I pray for my little son, he will carry such a burden on his little shoulders. Still, as a noble it's my duty to be present and defend. I will simply cuddle my son all the more when I am home to do so.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

I had no idea that Aunt Margerie could run so fast! It was fantastic, being able to bring her the good news. I hope there will be more, and soon.

Also, I've grown very attached to Reigna's cheeky little goat who has been in my care. She's so cute. I've decided to elevate her to goat nobility, and she must now be addressed as Lady Marigold, Duchess of Greenfield from now on. I'd find her a bow or tiara to wear, but I fear she would eat it.

Through storm and rain we met them upon the beaches, in the mountain pass, and through the city of Stormwall. And though they desired to feast upon us, we instead gave them the feast of our weapons, the hooves of our steeds, and the very rock and dirt beneath our feet. And though the city of Stormwall burned, the fleet felt the fury of the ocean storm, and our enemies felt the strength of our combined forces. My wish is that those in Setarco fare as well.

I am honored to have fought along the Highlord, Prince Edain once more, the Marquis Jacque Lyonesse, Lord Alban Farshaw, and Dame Esoka Greenblood. None shall forget the sacrifice of Lady Eirlys Greenmarch. May she know only peace.

Arx is... bigger than I expected. Noisier. And yet, for all its size, I've never felt so hemmed in. I cannot wait to take Oskar riding outside these walls. But for now, I need to focus on helping my brother and my House rebuild our city.

...perhaps I'll ride tomorrow...

Relationship Note on Emily

A good commander always tries to bring back all their people, and rarely will. That's the bloody business.

And a good commander can't hesitate to spend their people, when needs be. Being over cautious can lose a battle, let your enemy take the initiative, wind up a slaughter. Can't lead folk to war without being ready to send them out where you know there's no coming back.

Hell of a business, all told.

Victory comes at a cost and sometimes upon reflection it can be too much.

With these thoughts we look to the South and know that not all of the foe were downed in the North. We still live in uncertainty despite turning them aside. They still exist and where do they look to next?

Let those in Setarco not bear the brunt of those we could not fell. Let them rise to the challenge of their own foes and return to strengthen the Compact so we might all face those that yet remain.

Gloria bless our allies, our family and our friends. May your victory be a sweet song on the battlefield!

Relationship Note on Ariella

My next present to you, my dear sister, shall be a shield. Not only shall I give you a shield, but I will chain it to your arm so that you may not remove it and instead carry it with you wherever you go. Hearing of your wounds, and then seeing you in such a state does remind me of the mortality of those whom are close to us and the fears at which losing them brings.

Rest and heal dear sister, we shall continue this fight in the spirit of courageousness as you have already done.

The war continues, and while there are rumors of victory in some places, there is foreboding in others, a suggestion that things are not quite as they seem, nor are they anywhere near being over.

Relationship Note on Victus

We are ready ashore, as you will be at sea. That's all I need to know. Every ship that goes down, every enemy that falls for good, it is less power to our opponent for the years to come. We are prepared, and we now have a chance to accomplish this in droves. It is a sacrifice we make willingly.

Recognising a moment of brashness is the path to improvement. I have been far too prone to this my entire life. My father taught me as best he could and still I faltered.

For a man who has waged naval battles as efficiently and conclusively victorious as you have so far, I will not allow a moment of expression to result in a punishment, so help me god.
