I do believe that I must make the acquaintance of Princess Serafine! Just in case my most darling cousin, Prince Kieran, gets any ideas about frogs and my bedroom. She seems to have fascinating insight on acts of retribution.

I woke up from a nap this afternoon with a head that felt like it was stuffed with bees made of iron; buzzing and heavy. I've left my shop in the capable hands of my assistant while I drown in tea and broth.
A cold always has the worst time but this is pretty awful. I feel completely undignified and very much non-pleasant both in mood, manner, and appearance. Beware and stay away, my dears.

Though I understand the gravity of the situation that surrounds the Compact, the bloodshed to come, lost lives to mourn, rebuilding to plan for; it bemuses me that some are very much intent on incessantly dredging up the war and disallowing others from living in the present. Yes, I am perfectly aware of the implications of three war fronts, the return of legends, and the work as well as vigilance that the looming war will demand of those waging it.
These may be the last few weeks of my life. Let me bloody enjoy them, let me laugh; let me enjoy good company. I have not forgotten what lies ahead - how could I?

Relationship Note on Nierzen
I notice you haven't addressed a damned thing I've said. You're just saying I'm wrong, without saying how, or why. I mean, am I supposed to be upset that the man who thinks the Nox'alfar worked for Brand thinks I can't understand the intensely stupid things he writes?

A prayer to Limerance:
I am a woman of duty.
I am daughter to a mother, broke an oath;
I am child to a father, remote and strange;
I am bastard, born of broken promises to an uncertain future;
I am ward of a man, who held me up;
I am sister to a dreamer with healing hands;
I am sister to a brother with a bold spear;
These are love, these are family, these were duty.
Then I become wife to a husband, who swore an oath
to Serve the Compact, to Serve the Twainfort;
A Prodigal who gave up his people to serve his family,
Whose people recognize the laws of men and god;
I am mother to a child, fierce and furious,
and my duties to him surpass my heart's duties all.
I am widow of a House and serve it loyally;
Protection to my liegemen, duty to my liege;
I am woman alone, but never alone,
wound around by friends and fealty, ties and loyalty.
I am wife again, written in contract,
Love and duty intertwined, a warder for my son
and a lover for my heart; new duties, new strengths,
I choose them all, but they are bindings -- of:
Loyalty
Family
Love
In faith, in contract.
I am Voice of my House, Princess of Bastion;
The trust of those, None Greater be, upon my heart.
Duty to my King, and Compact;
Protection to my liegemen, gathered in my hands,
and Honor to the House that claimed me, family all:
with legacy found in the new children I will bear,
the new heirs for my husband,
the new brothers and sisters for my boy.
Protection to my friends, sweet brothers and sisters,
cousins in strength, kin in honor;
Service to the Crown, the Compact, and the Future in every task,
Every scrap of knowledge I must hunt and protect.
Limerance has blessed me in love
In duty
and in burden chosen freely.
I love you, Lord of Oaths. May I always serve with all the trust of my heart, all the will of my soul, and all the strength of my words.
I pray that the darkness shall not touch me for my love is pure and my duty is clear.
These are my words.
My prayer.
My thanks.
Thank you.

You said you were disappointed the Compact hadn't conquered them by arms. Which of course, means you were at least partly disappointed the Compact hadn't killed more Abandoned before forcing them to join (if any were still alive after they were done). The second half of that was some nonsense about how clearly the Compact was so incredibly clever it had tricked the Abandoned into being conquered without realizing it, but I've already been over that bullshit.

I can tell you that Master Nierzan seems to enjoy writing interestingly violent twists on children's stories. I was anonymously gifted one about a race and a horde of small woodland creatures killing and eating a large, arrogant white dragon. I'd be happy to send you the copy!

And here I thought the other fellow was asking for opinions. I would be more than happy to give mine too, were it appropriate for the circumstances. However, having been not-so-reliably informed I am an idiot by both Bastien and your kind self, I feel I must decline at this juncture and can only point to such a striking similarity to prove my case unheard.

Relationship Note on Nierzen
Weren't you complaining that the Compact hadn't outright conquered more Abandoned a few weeks back, instead of convincing them to bend the knee? If that's how you assume the Nox'alfar view the Compact, I think that says more about you than it does the elves. You'd think if they were interested in conquering they might have got around to it sometime in the past few centuries. Maybe thought about it back when one of them was actually the king. You know, just maybe. I hear they get bored, you'd think it would have come up.
But I mean, you said the most devoted worshipers of Death were allies with Oblivion's Herald and then made the exact same mistake in saying the Marin'alfar, a bunch of Mangata followers, are working with the Gyre, so it's possible you don't have the slightest fucking clue what you're talking about.

No one is perfect. And it is not the Lord Commander's forgiveness you should seek. Look to your own honor and guard it well. Accepting our mistakes, rectifying them, and trying not to repeat them again and again is the course of valor and the work of a lifetime.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
