For my List of Things:

* Try Setarco Fire. *check mark*
(The above was not originally on the List of Things, but as it has been completed thanks to a rather charming courtesan of House Pravus, Deacon Pateris, I thought its inclusion necessary. It was accomplished during an exceptionally wonderful crossing of a few paths at the Ambassador Salon that words hardly could do justice.)

* Sit in the hot springs of Giant's Reach.
* See the Aerie of Storms in Stormwall.

There are more, but these were ones added this last week and, thus, require recording.

Relationship Note on Apollis

It's such a blessing to have my brother return to the city. Part of me wants to believe it's because he had heard that we're all here and he missed us so much, but he'd probably never say that! So, Apollis, please don't be too upset when you read this - And make sure you take good care of Mara and Raea now that you're back!

The preparations have been made and everything is accounted for. My return to Tor is set and while I truly look forward to going home and spending time with my people there, I will miss the home I have made in Arx. It is temporary but necessary. Winters in Tor are milder than in the city of Arx and I cannot imagine not being able to enjoy the beautiful fragrant gardens of my home with my child in my arms. It is there he or she will be born and be the living bridge of love, faith, and family between Tor and Southport.

Being hit with pastries is not an exercise routine I've tried before. Surprisingly enjoyable. Though I think I might have put any weight I sweated off back on in the eating of them afterward. I came in second in the race, just ahead of Sir Daemon of the Knights of Solace, who put in a very fine showing. If I have to place behind anyone, I've no shame that it's Princess Reese, with her hare-like speed in armor. A fun time, and I hope it raised funds that will do some good in the Lowers.

So many demands in so many directions - we may gather the largest force assembled in some time, only to have a thousand demands nibble its numbers down to nothing if we are not careful. I would tend to rather win one or two battles on the terms I set out than lose in a hundred places. Now was not a good time for the Legate of Arts to leave us - we could have needed his guidance, and it will be missed. His was always a clarion voice in council, simple and direct, and speaking up for the needs of the Orthodoxy.

Relationship Note on Carita

Ah! I could not give you an alternative without knowing how Darkwater wants to present itself! The old motto is brutal, warlike without care for the lives of opponents or, hm, human obstacles. If this is still true, then mercy is indeed not a virtue the house recognizes. If it is not true, what is true?

Relationship Note on Aislin

I feel as if a quiet has settled over Ward Grayson. It is not a good kind of quiet. It the quiet that used to be filled with the voices of those who are missing.

I haven't wrote on Aislin Ashford yet, partly because I hold out hope that she is out there on another adventure and might return to us soon. Without knowing the truth, I try not to assume anything. I don't where she is, what has happened and if she will return to us.

She was quite woman, meaning she didn't often raise her voice and she didn't often try to draw the focus to herself and yet as many know she had a great many things to say. When Aislin talks it is always worth listening to her. We hope to hear her voice again.

And right now it is quiet, too quiet. I know I am not alone in missing her. Her presence was a rock.

Word of warning to anyone coming to visit Audric: if I don't know you, don't come walking up to his bed in a rush. Or armed. Or with suspicious packages. Or with food. Or drink.

Or at all, really, if you can help it.

Relationship Note on Caspian

While I strive towards flashy moves in my fights, a lot of twirling and spinning around, a flare of the skirts, showing some skin. I was very impressed at the tricks Caspian pulled in our own fight. Switching between three different daggers at various stages of the fight, it was impressive! Granted it's skill, and not flash that wins the day, but he kept me dancing for a while. He'll continue to improve and do well, and I'm certain Gloria was pleased.

I'd hope that the adoption of a lifelong man of many talents is a cause for celebration, not resentment.

I'm sure there are purists who prefer that the nobility stay with those already peers, though.

I've served House Darkwater most of my life; I've been a leader in my own right within the domain for most of my adult life. I consider this to simply be an evolution of the oath I swore.

My everything hurts. Not dead though. Do not believe the rumors. My death will be far more spectacular than that. Now I'm going to sleep until my bones heal. Ow. Ow.

Relationship Note on Madeleine

May the Gods and Goddesses give us the strength to bear and do what must be done and watch over and protect us afterwards. You mentioned what may be needed to cleanse the statue of Mangata at the beach. Your words were heeded and we did our best.

Relationship Note on Tristan

I daresay you could drastically expedite your little project here if only you had some sort of 'royal boon' you could use to get yourself invested at the head of a Barony.

Something found but committing to the journals for later.


A thousand years ago,
Calamity did rise.
To scorch the world asunder,
a new age was the prize.

A place of no mortal consequence,
their closed eyes could not see.
For what could matter at a forgotten altar,
as black as midnight sea?

A dozen knights and gods ignored,
a proud king could not be moved.
But upon the Thirteenth's horrific visage,
His power He did prove.

The King awoke with a bloodcurdling scream,
the Reckoning for he did see.
And so a fortress he did build,
upon the thinnest point proved key.

A king of kings stood fast,
but alone he was not.
For kings and queens did answer,
a sacred bind between was wrought.

Calamity did come,
a darkness fell from on high.
A blazing light, of dragon's fire,
stronger still were his allies.

A thousand years ago,
twelve gods and knights did try.
When darkness would seem to win,
the Thirteenth's power could not be denied.

A story told in secret,
passed down from line to line,
Of how a king of king's heart did change,
a terrible reckoning made benign.

I could answer you, but I guess the actual question is: do you want to have it that easily?

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
