I've been buying up finer kit for the battles to come. So far it's just been armor, I've some fine pieces in red steel with pretty brass fittings and such, to match my brigandine, though I expect it'll be some time before I switch that for something fancier than steel. I've given weapons a lot of thought, but it's not easy to know how to spend my coin. Anything fancier than rubicund costs a coin and a half, and it makes me sick to my stomach to think of spending that much silver on a thing, no matter how fancy. Because then I'll be stuck with it, won't I?

Lagoma. Our Lady of Change. I bear witness to her work in the world. She is so much more than merely the goddess of healers, as some might have her consigned. Her eternal flame both destroys and creates. The rite of the Thirteen Lanterns reminded us not only of sacrifice, but also of the light that the goddess brings. Hope.

All things have their season.

All things change.

Embrace it.

My dear sister, it is too late now, you cannot hide it any longer, so I say to you congratulations. I look forward to seeing what the coming years bring!

We are going off to war, and my dear sister decides at this very moment to return home. Now what am I supposed to do? She will be off with the navy and I will take the other with the ground forces. All the Igniseri march for war. It shall be glorious!

Brogan and I have spent a great deal of time together since I've come back to Arx. I appreciate his company immensely in these trying times. Its hard to believe that when I grew up, he was already a man. We are fast friends.

Busy week. Getting plans finalized, equipment repaired, and skills sharpened. Luck to all of those who are going out to fight, be it on ship or on land.

Running naval exercise is far harder than it looks. I'm grateful my first one didn't go terribly awry.

What a scene to happen upon! Catching the actual birth of the newest Grayson Royal. Long life and good health to the little Prince! None Greater than Greyson!

Harren Driftwood, what a name for an Elm tree. Gifted to me by both Dame Harrow and the King who managed to somehow trick me in to thinking it was untaken and who would refuse? Needless to say this has led me down a most wondrous path of getting to know the Dame Felicia.

And to my tree planting partner, Lord Alban Farshaw, thank you for doing the heavy lifting. The fair beaches of your home sound wonderful in the chill spring months. Perhaps I can brave a boat one day to go see them.

Relationship Note on Tikva

My best friend just had the cutest baby Asharion! I think the world should know that he is potentially the most adorable thing in Arvum when he's not screaming his head off. The little guy is LOUD! But adorable. The only other thing that comes close in the running is my niece.

(Also, we're pretty sure our royal husbands are both goofballs and we each love ours immensely.)

Relationship Note on Felicia

The Dame Felicia Harrow is a rather interesting woman and with a wealth of history. I can not say how much I enjoyed spending an afternoon with her discussing all matter of things. Rest assured that I shall have a few commissions for your newest talent.

I must concur with Mistress Eilonwy's whites in regard to our mutual friend, Duke Asger Crovane. He is an exceptional leader of his people and just speaking with him briefly, you can tell how much he loves them and the lands he oversees. Even his charming otter, Teiddwen, lacks for nothing. It is often said that animals are great judges of characters. Were that not enough to sway one to want to get to know him, his shark stew is marvelous beyond words.

I'm glad that I attended the Rite of Thirteen Lamps that Aleksei and Roran held within Lagoma's Shrine. It's something I'll never forget. I'm no longer worried. I'm no longer anxious. It in a way cleansed me of everything that was dragging me down, I feel so much lighter. You both did a fantastic job.

That was also a right proper fire.

Today I visited all the shrines. At each shrine I prayed for someone I know or have come across that has a role to play in this war. May the Gods light their path.

For all those still needing arms and armor:

The hours are growing short, and the forges burn day and night. If you need anything, please request it now, that it not be last minute. I cannot speak for all the other smiths, but I know I have a current list of requests that will take me a week or two to work through as it stands.

I am a bad vassal. Despite my better efforts to encourage my liege lord, Duke Asger is still unwed. If only Lady Blackwood hadn't left us all and caused such trouble. I should help save face for the family I serve and help ensure our dear Duke Asger is married with an heir. I know often others seem to read these, perhaps someone will read this and get to know our Duke. He's a fierce warrior with a great love for his people and his lands. He even likes otters. Surely someone so devoted to his people deserves a good wife to help him. I shall have to try harder to better serve the noble families that have offered me such shelter and kindness and opportunity as a healer.

So. I am going to Stormwall. I will be heading there to help run the healers within the castle. I am afraid. But the Thirteenth teaches us that hiding from our fears does not mean they go away. I embrace my fear. I acknowledge my fear. But I do not let it prevent me from what I must do. I look to the gods to show me the way. By their virtues I am made better. I follow the lessons they teach and honor them with my adherence to their ways.

But I am still afraid.

I just will not let it hinder me.
