I'm curious, Sir Preston, which Oathlands lords (in the plural) you speak of that are indifferent to the Faith?

Increasingly I grow concerned at the dedication of the nobility to the Faith. When the Faith Militant is met with indifference from even Oathlander lords, how should we think? There is no obligation on the Faith to come to war, to die in the field with levied troops of the compact - even though many may indeed be disciples. We do so because we think it just, because we think it right, and because if it is the fate of some to die - and it shall be - then we would not have them alone at the end, we would give them comfort and company such as we can. A way to the shining lands and that which awaits. If you truly do not wish us, then we will go elsewhere - that is no problem. There are pious enough lords who will have us. But consider the impact on your armies and their morale if you turn from the Faith and the Faith from you. This is not the time for division. But unity. And you shall only find that in, and with, the Faith.

Relationship Note on Brogan
My uncle, drinking partner, confidante and drinking partner. (That needs to be said twice) I am glad to have you at my elbow, as steady as the oak tree in time. I hope you don't choke on mud when you lose.

There you go again....trying to make me blush. You know that it's a rare occurrence....and yet you seem to continue to push do so. You're not a quitter that's for sure....and that's one of the many things I love about you.

Personally when I am lost in the woods I follow the squirrels. Those devious little tree rats always seem to know the way back to civilization and how to being the biggest pests possible.
Though one of the best things you can do is invest in a Blanchard trained courser. I can promise such a horse will remember it's way home better than you will the vast majority of the time.

You are the third best thing to happen to me; being born and being liberated from Thralldom beats you out, love! But not by much.

As night closes in on my private alcove,
I sit by choice all alone.
The revelations of the day still crux my mind,
the words offered to me by Mae still remain.
To this paper, I will continue to remind,
That when I'm awoke, I find that my hands are stain.
I have to remember what I dream so vivid,
that I wash, that I scrub, that I try to find a clue,
and my soul feels that much more frigid,
as I realize that nightmares are a darker dream,
and they also can come true.

Relationship Note on Alexis
You know, of course, that it takes a bit of time to get used to wearing armor. So today, we started with the helmet and cuirass and of course she needed some help keeping her balance. But oh, the look of pride on Ellara's little face as she toddled down the hall like the tiniest little Knight.
I'm certain I saw a few expressions of sheer terror on several guards faces. But Herald Steve, gods bless him, announced her entrance into the hall like she was a visiting Knight.

Today I shared the Bravuran tradition of story telling.
Every so often, the authors of Bravura put away their half-finished stage plays and manuscripts and instead meet for coffee and tell stories - usually ghost stories. One begins a story of varied length. Often the story is left incomplete and another author tells it further - and so on until the story is complete.
Lady Alessia Mazetti was kind enough to attend and proved herself a masterful teller of story! She had us all on the edge of our seats and shivering with fear. Bravo! She should find happy audience were she to take up writing.
Another fine Bravuran tradition takes root in the great city of Arx!

Same days are harder than others...
Kind like walking through the woods, and before you know it you realize there's a spot you never been to before. You look back, not quite sure how you got here, and decide that the only way through is to keep moving forward. Some times there's a storm in the way, and some times the sun is shining down so bright it's hard to see. All that matters, at the end of the day, is that you keep moving without quitting.
Aint nothing at the end of the day but Death if you quit.

I have been remiss in documenting in the archives the first of hopefully many impromptu artistic events held in the Bravuran tradition.
Bravura is a city on the island of Nilanza known for its artistry and innovation. The citizenry are a fine, if eccentric, diverse collection of aesthetic minds and brilliant inventors.
The first tradition, which was shared about 7 days ago, was the Impromptu Poetry Slam and Open Floor. These are - in true Bravuran style - held in coffee houses and wine bars across the city at a moments notice.
The poetry is off-the-cuff and often free expression. The performer delivers his or her work and then selects another attendee at random. Libations are plentiful and nourishment is scarce - it can get pretty silly.
It is supposed a victor is chosen by those who dared performed. It is said the prize is "the proud knowledge of having won". In truth: the competitions conclude with everyone forgetting to vote.
Many thanks to the lovely neighbors who attended our first such event at Argento Watch.
