But for the record, of course there is. Abandoned don't come in armies, they come in tribes, clans, villages. The wilds are a lot larger than I suspect most people around here realize. There are people out there. Thousands of people. They've been there forever, living and dying. The Horned One has been building his army for decades and more. Longer than Brand. Just because he's only been known to you for a few years doesn't mean he hasn't been out there making their lives miserable for generations. And just because you don't see or think about them until they're on your doorstep (or you theirs) doesn't mean they don't exist until they're drawing weapons to fight you across a battlefield.

It is well that you distracted me with tasks before I realized what dangers you were going into. My Duke is difficult.

Sometimes I wonder how aware people are of things. The risks that come with their words and actions. i, generally, don't care. I will offend someone before I hide what I am thinking.

I'm wondering what you think the moral problem would be for the Compact in that scenario. I'm damned curious, actually.

Today I begin my first mission in attempts to successfully adhere to the wishes of His Grace, the glorious, the magnanimous, incredible Prince Talen Velenosa.
He has instructed me that I should be causing trouble as to avoid being ready at his call and thus I intend to do just that. I solemnly accept my sacred duty that the prince has given to me.
Tomorrow morning I steal into the kitchens, hoping that my actions are not discovered. The coffee is my target. This elixir of the gods, this sacred drink, to which even I admit a deep love, shall be the site of the nefarious deed.
In my other hand.. Brandy. It was all I could get that would work in coffee, wine would just make it undrinkable. One would not say I am proficient in the art of the drink mixing, so I may of added too much. We shall know soon enough. Who is the unfortunate soul who will be given this brew I do not know. Actually, I do not care. I just hope the servants are not brewing coffee for themselves.
Actually I better add brandy to a few more things.
I loathe to write so much, but if this act is not recorded for future generations than who shall know of my sacrifice. This was fine brandy.

Your advice should be your own. Luca was not commenting on the creatures of the Abyss and otherwise that a Herald and its Archfiend can command. He was speaking on specifically the Abandoned. To which I specifically commented. If he made mention of the other I may have commented on the other.

Roland, Shadow, Karri, Timmons. My room is turning into a small menagerie. I should have my niece Serah come and keep them preoccupied. I love our animals dearly, but I think I understand why Edain looked horrified when I suggested letting Semiramis sleep inside with us during winter, there wouldn't be room for our horses. I believe we are at animal capacity.

If you think an Archfiend and his Herald can only build an army with Abandoned, you...just...I don't know, pay more attention or something.

I've always kept bug repellant as part of my kit, because dealing with angry bugs is miserable. Yet somehow the first time it comes up, I'm positioned elsewhere. Not sure if I'm thankful or not for being spared that.

Someone wishes me to write that charity is not just a thing that you do. You either are of a charitable nature or you are not. And if you are not, you can embrace it or you can rail against it, but the latter proves the nature very well.
She also says that she's not, uhm, surprised that the nobles of the city haven't learned. And that we'd all be better off without the noble airs that are put on.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have written those words, but she wouldn't stop. Just, I'm sorry.

I do not know if it is surprising or worrisome to hear that there are still enough Shav out there to build a large army for horny after the last army was counted at over one-hundred thousand Shav and they were slaughtered nearly to a man.
If they chose to organize without the design of something evil behind it there might actually be a true moral problem for the Compact.

For all the shavs we face and are forced to kill, I wonder there is a soul left in the wilds. Horny will pay for it all someday I can only hope. It was a brutal battle and no man deserves to be turned into wasps for his trouble.

My dear friend, I can not speak for all women but as one that has recently faced the birth's of one's child and came up on the other side, I can tell you a few things. First, yes, it will hurt. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a bill of goods. Second, women do die from childbirth, which I hope in my hearts is not your fate. Third, when you see the face of your child, all of that doesn't matter.

When I read these excepts of journals it reminds me that there are layers upon layers of happenings and stories being told in this city.
I suspect most of these interactions and events will never cause pause or reach the light. Some lost by eclipse of other tales. Some are hidden away in dark dens never to be spoken of even in whispers and kept close by those who lived them. Others are the smallest flutter of butterfly wings that grow to cause terrible tempests that changes the landscape forever, but the origin of the story are not so widely known. And some are just the silent break of daily life, a page between one tale and the next.
But the glimpses here and there by word or on journal pages make me curious and hungry to know more. To do more. To be more. And perhaps make my own beautiful, meaningful mark upon a page or two. Though to be true, as immodest and vain as it is, I'd rather be the tempest than a butterfly's wing.

I have discovered that my propensity for seasickness extends to small boats. In spite of it, Princess Katarina, Marquis Gaston Blackram, and Lord Armand Farshaw performed admirably in the first Annual Compact Crew Race. Next year, I will see myself properly medicated before taking the helm. That, or I shall see myself cheering from the sidelines.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
