My oldest memory is one that has never left me and probably never will, though some parts of it have faded so much that they likely only still exist in my mind because they're attached to the rest. Other parts are so sharp and clear they could have happened an hour ago. Some nights I lie awake, tracing this memory like some people might follow the familiar edges of an old crack in the ceiling. Some nights it edges into my dreams while I'm already asleep. And some nights I wake up in the dark, hearing notes of it like an old song, half finished. Even during the day, it's always there at the back of my mind, waiting to be brought up during quiet moments when my mind wanders without thinking down familiar paths. If I had to make the choice, of any memory I have, this is the one I'd never trade away or wish gone.

I've had a lot of time to think recently. I've had time to draw some conclusions.
It will be those who work to bring on the nightmares, the heralds and the abyss, that will ask the most and compliment you for your knowledge while you tell them off it. The First Children, the Weapons, the means of all your secrets; they will ask. However, I realize that even their efforts will be needed to fight against the end of the dream. Our world is built on this concept, and we cannot be rid of it. There needs to be good to recognize what is evil, and there needs to be evil, to recognize what is good. We are all connected. Throw a pebble in the pond and all of us experience the ripples, some ride upon the apex of it and others upon the trough. But our world is thusly changed by the motions. A person should think then, before throwing the pebble.
Have I thought enough? Or shall I throw the pebble...

Let it be known that Scourge (the rat-dog formally known as Bear) is MY DOG.
Not Magpie's dog! Lord Valerio ceded his first place victory to ME and I took Scourge. Also I was really good at putting the thing through the holes.
Scourge is going to become the fiercest ratter the Lowers has ever seen!

The Twainfort must be very changed since I saw it last. I wonder if I will recognize it when I see it again. With the 10,000 shav'arvani who bent the knee to Countess Mia after our efforts in the Gray Forest, and now those refugees of clans Bloodsnake, Tyrfall, Brokeblade that come to Riven's borders in the wake of the emancipation of the thralls in the Kennex lands. We will not just be Greenwoods and Rivens anymore. We will be many peoples, bound together within those rivers.mI pledge to help my new countrymen and women as well as I can. Perhaps I shall learn a little of the tongue of tribes of the isles.

I am so incredibly proud, and inspired, by Bliss and her efforts in creating an Evening of Bliss. The night was an absolute success, and one I was honoured to be a part of. The performance was breathtaking, the company exquisite and I think the guests all enjoyed the food provided; rules and all. Simply wonderful, and of course, thanks goes to both the Whispers that attended as well as our charming guests, and to all that presented gifts that have gone to such an important cause.

That was an amazing party, if I do say so myself. I genuinely enjoyed myself and I do not think I've ever laughed so much! Seeing Lord Valerio ridding upon Kael's back while Kael wears a bear costume... I could not have been prouder of him. I think Lady Khanne had a good time, which is frankly the only real measure of success that matters.
I am sad to see my little Bear go, but I think he found a remarkable home in Mae Grayhope. I think he's going to be very happy.

Met up with Joslyn in the training center. It has been years since we've fought each other, and to say that things have changed would be... well an understatement. I won't go into details, but i'd not recommend anyone pissing off Joslyn, would not be wise.

Relationship Note on Khanne
Happy birthday, Lady Khanne. I hope that you enjoyed the festivities in your honor and had some amusement at our play. It was an honor to host it, though Reigna was the true mastermind, and I believe I will feel sore for at least a week from Lord Valerio riding me.
Even writing that seems so wrong.
And yet so right.

With the assistance of Duke Ryhalt Farshaw and his merchant marine, House Telmar has relocated some freed Kennex war thralls and inducted them into the Telmarines.
They may have been warriors before, but they were not Compact arms men, and they certainly were not Telmarines. So we have much training to do. Not just of our new arms men, mind, but also their compatriots at arms who are not the fondest of Prodigals. Our work is not just military, but sociological.
I can drill them as men-at-arms. I will call upon others to help them with the adjustment to the Oathlands and the Oathlands to them.

I don't even remember if I talked about the opening of the garden, with all the work!
It was so amazing. Lady Freja made a small ritual asking for the blessing of the Spirits and a lot of people came.
And those who couldn't make it came the following day for tea.
Tea!
Master Saedrus gave me the most beautiful teapot.
And Lady Valencia and Mistress Maeve brought me a gift too.
I'm so happy that so many people enjoyed it...

Darling readers,
I know it has been FAR too long since I last wrote to you. Today I want to praise the Splendiferiousness of Mistress Petal Primrose and her supernatural creature themed attire which keeps selling so quickly.... and is completely astounding.

I've suffered from the first soul crushing bit of disappointment since arriving in the city. Now, I realize that I may (and probably am) greatly overreacting to the situation, but I still feel very disappointed. When I first arrived in the city there was a few things that I did almost right away, one was to reach out to a very specific group about membership. I heard back from the leader of the group who said to speak with others, I reached out to two others. One never responded, and another was so unpleasant that I just....I don't even know.
They did, eventually, assure me that I would be going through the next step. Now, nothing. No word, no contact, no next step. Once more, I've reached out to the others....and nothing. I realize that there are so many things happening in the city and Compact right now. But I feel so very disappointed, frustrated, and entirely unsure what I should do next.
Other than this bit of disappointment, things are fantastic. I'm moving forward with several other projects, making friends. Being social, which I enjoy.
