Excuse you, but Princess Alis had that commissioned for me and it would be grossly impolite to not wear it at every possibility.

All that you do and say is witnessed, there are no secrets. That which you do when you feel no one watches is known, and that which you do repeatedly is who you truly are. Whatever power you feel you have, you are but a temporary caretaker with a responsibility to evolve and make the world better than how you received it. He who observes behind the mirror knows all weaknesses and he waits, he watches. He gives us the opportunity to reflect on our own weaknesses and make our decisions what we'll do.
You are watched, and your secrets known.

Relationship Note on Marian
Her Highness must be commended for her dedication and desire to teach others, and to do so simply because she enjoys it. I will have to repay such generosity in the future, as will no doubt many others.

Relationship Note on Eithne
Miss Eithne proved to be not only excellent company, but also a master of her art when I approached her about metalwork. I'm sure the result will be phenomenal. Unless distracted.
Can't imagine what might cause it though.

Relationship Note on Cristoph
Duke Cristoph Laurent: the queen bee, the bee's knees, the bee all, will take no beeswax unless you're pollen his leg. Darling bee, bumble bee, honey bee to his Duchess. Honey Duke to all of us. When it's warm, he's a swarm. He has fans that drone on and on and on. Culture? Yes, so much culture. Apiculture. These puns don't hurt -- they sting.
I might have joined the hivemind in buzzing his praises, but now I'll force myself to beehave.

Relationship Note on Monique
An ill advised rivalry.
I thought it might be fun to toy with a random stranger, but as it turns out, she really studies her heraldry, better than I do at least. Now she knows I have a weakness for avoiding lectures and has already demonstrated the intelligence to use it against me. Clearly this will not do. Luckily she is willing to give me outs through competing her, at first on the gauntlet. Now I had never run the course and thought I did perfectly well, but was dismayed to learn my time was 'disqualified'. Cheaters. Especially that Lady Joslyn who was just trying to protect her own time.
Clearly I have to find a way to do better at this gauntlet, but Lady Monique is a different beast entirely. She has her own collection of wanted posters! How exotic. I dare say her adventures shall be difficult to top unless I improve as it were. Luckily there should be more chances in the field soon.
I wonder how we might compete next.

Relationship Note on Christine
While bookish and not instantly the sort of person you might associate with me, Lady Christine is quickly becoming a favorite in this city. Her family has some history with boats, if I'm not mistaken, well ships as I am sure one might correct me. I think I will continue to say boats, but Lady Christine meanwhile hasn't brought up anything nautical to me.
So far we have had some very fun plans and shared some joy in common interests. I would be lying if I did not say I had high hopes for getting to know her better more later.
There is a great injustice she and I will face I think, but that is only the beginning for there is another injustice about the lady that I must face alone. Surely a matter of dire consequence, but I dare not say what it is here. Arx will simply have to wait with baited breath.

With the support and generosity of those who donated to the cause and participated in the Freedom art show charity auction, the Liberators of Skald have been able to begin their new ministry of offering aid and support to those returning to lives of liberty by securing the freedom of some five thousand thralls from across the Mourning Isles. While some have chosen to remain in different parishes of the Isles, and some have chosen to relocate to other areas of the Compact, a full four thousand souls have recognized the commitment to freedom displayed by House Deepwood and have chosen to start new lives in Old Oak.
I would like to personally thank those Liberators and other members of the Faith for their diligence and effort to make all of this possible: Liberator Mason, Liberator Saedrus, Liberator Samantha, Liberator Ferrando, and Seraph Ailith. I would also like to thank Master Fortunato Grayhope and our anonymous artist for their donations of such remarkable paintings to help fund the cause. And, of course, thank you to each and every person who donated silver in amounts both large and small. Every act of charity of any size is a blessed one.
This is just the beginning. The Faith will continue to assist any and all people returning to lives of freedom to offer the support and assistance they need to begin this new stage in their lives.
Until every chain is broken. Thank you.

I want to thank all of the Faithful who have been willing to open their hearts and minds and listen to new ideas — or very old ones, once forgotten. The Shrine of the Queen of Endings welcomes you all, as once Her hands brought you to life, and will one day return you to Her.
I also want to publicly acknowledge the labor of Her disciples, the Harlequins. They stand ready and able to assist with any of your needs related to our Shrine and our ministry. If you have questions for me or any of them, please ask.
The Harlequins study to assist as midwives in welcoming new souls into the world. And because as all things must end so that they may begin anew, they are also available to be on hand to assist families dealing with loss, at the end of life. The Shrine stands ready to assist with funeral rites, but the Harlequins are also ready to help you with remains, and ensuring that they are tended with care and respect. Please don't be afraid to ask for help as you and your family face your losses together. We know that dying is a necessary part of living, but we understand that doesn't make it easier, and we are here to reach out.
Copies of our doctrine are available at the Shrine of the Queen of Endings in the prayer basket if you want more information about Death and about our ministry.

Dame Thena of the Knights of Solace has offered her time and resources to help the Crow Soup Kitchen. I have asked that she might see to the Knights of Solace helping get those in need to and from the Soup Kitchen, and she has gladly agreed.

Donations for the Crow Soup Kitchen are coming in! I'm so very happy. We should be opening, officially, soon. And I will be planning an event to celebrate (and continue to raise funds).
So far...
Prince Victus has paid for all Thraxian citizens, and a sizeable donation above that.
Archduchess Eleyna has paid for all Velenosa citizens, and a sizable donation above that.
Princess Donella and Princess Marian have both donated on behalf of Redrain, and together doubled the silver needed to offer food to Redrain citizens in need.
Princess Donella has also offered supplies to help finish the construction of the kitchen, and Princess Tikva has offered the same.
Marquessa Samantha will be supplying wood and furniture, and is also working as a Crown Minister to secure funding from the Crown. Prince Rook, Minister of Coin, is working on a Crown grant to make sure the kitchen stays funded.
Did I miss anyone?
Thank you all for your support.

For a mountain girl, I've been out to sea an awful lot these last few months. it is strange to think that I feel as comfortable there as I do in the north now. So much so, I feel sad when it is time to return to Arx. of course, I try to sit, or kneel on the deck of the ship as much as possible. Standing makes me feel far too wobbly.... and let's not talk about laying down. No, if sleep must be had, I will do so sitting up and leaning against something sturdy, thank you.
I have returned from another voyage. One, thankfully, in which I did not have to fight tainted things, abyssal things, or even see the darkness that plagues so much of the world. It was not a trip for leisure, necessarily, but for learning.
And for sketching... I have so much sketching and painting to do... Next time I see fit to lock myself in my room for days on end, I should do so with charcoals and paints on hand....
Or, just sit in the Grove. I might do that... perhaps the spiritual inspiration will boost the artistic. It is the place I feel most at home within the city, after all.
Though, perhaps I should visit the beach more often....
