Personally, I admire the archlector for even being able to READ those journal entries to decide that the man is blasphemous.

Relationship Note on Aureth
The Legate answered promptly, and very thoroughly, when I sent word to him with my personal inquiries regarding the embargo. His reasons struck me as both following the will and virtues of the Gods, as well as taking into account the necessities of our world and our place in it.
Should others have such questions, or even concerns, I would imagine he would respond with the same ability and care to enlighten.

Relationship Note on Aureth
Your blessedness, I understand your reasoning and I do not disagree with the overall aim of this embargo.
But I would like to humbly request that in the future you either give the compact some advance warning so we merchants don't get blindsided by this, or fair compensation for the harms inflicted by being blindsided by this.

Relationship Note on Aureth
As a member of the Faith, a master crafter and member of the Crafters Guild, I show my support with the Faith's embargo against Eurus and will no longer be creating pieces of art with any material that is imported from there such as Pyran fireweave. The Pins and Needles at Arx and my shops elsewhere will no longer offer any designs with these embargoed materials. Those asking will be politely turned away towards other materials that aren't affront to the Faith. Any and all Pyran fireweave that I might have had is destroyed so no one can profit from it, and I'll take the financial hit.
It's painful to me as an artist to hinder my creativity, but sometimes sacrifices are needed to show solidarity.
In the future, embargoes might be even better if the Crafters Guild and our Guildmaster are engaged so we can work out logistics. We're honorable folk, many are disciples devoted to the Faith and pursuit of bettering our Art. We work together to make the world more beautiful and better.

The Legate is most wise - as he ever is. I just hope more of the children of the Faith understand, and do not allow fascination or a desire for understanding to morph into holding mistaken trust in these foreign emissaries.

I confess! I left money at the Shrine of the Queen of Endings.
I was in a panic that day over worry for the safety of my friend. I went to all the shrines that day to pray for him, but at the shrines of Mangata and the Queen of Endings I left offerings. I left a necklace at the Shrine of Mangata and money at the Shrine of the Queen of Endings.
My friend and I are sailors and travel on Mangata's waters. Her waters wash the sands of many shores. I have heard of the black sand in the lowers and thought perhaps she would protect him from it. I left a necklace I cherish in hopes she might protect my friend whom many cherish.
As my friend is also beloved of the Queen of Endings, I left coin with the thought of how ephemeral possessions are and how much chance is involved in life. I thought perhaps the Queen would like that I left it in her hands who would stumble upon that coin.
It was some time later that a friend explained more of gods and the pantheon to me. I was foolish in my ignorance, but I do not regret the offerings if they did not offend the gods.
And I also do not regret them even more now - for they have amused people.

Relationship Note on Aureth
I had never wanted to write journals before, not until I met this man, and came to learn the meaning of a white journal. It was strange, there was so much I was prompted to want to tell him, but I couldn't. The words, wouldn't dare take the leap of faith out of my chest.
He was vulgar. His demeanor was coarse, at best- he chafed with every ingrained virtue beset upon me by my betters, masters and quartermasters alike. And yet, in that freedom of lexicon; in that loosening of thought, and carelessness to the judgement eye of others he manifested, I sampled perhaps for the first time what life entails for us all, beyond its hardships. A freedom of self, notwithstanding life's hardships, they're meant to be taken as part of the package, and one only hints at the clarity of such fact when in the company of such a man; of the Legate. Aureth, he said his name was.
I pray to no God in particular that come time - next time - in his presence, I am more than a jumble of insecurity, weakness and hesitation. I wish prayers were answered.

Birthdays are meant to be joyous, is there anything more joyous than dedication to your work in service of the Gods, Father Aureth?
There is a pious answer for all problems, yet sometimes they seem unhelpful.
But whatever you do, know that you are loved by untold thousands who I am sure all wish you a happy birthday.

Relationship Note on Aureth
A open letter to Aureth,
My cousin, that I love.
I was laying around thinking to myself about the sky and the stars and the moon and the clouds and all that. I really got to thinking, and then I felt my head sort of peel apart into two halves in a peaceful but possibly adversarial sort of separation. One mind was still thinking about the clouds and the blue sky and where the clouds come from. I mean, really. What is a cloud? -- I'm digressing. The other mind is the 'here and now' mind. It's saying, 'hey, stop floating in the clouds and focus on what you're doing.'
----
I think you know the state of mind I'm in right now. Continuing, I got to thinking about the two halves of my brain. The mirrors. How we have ourselves and then that mirror self. The goooood self and the daaaark reflection that always seems to be the evil half of the story. What if the person on this side of the mirror is the fucked up weirdo and the one behind the mirror is the good one?
What if?... What if I stood in front of a mirror? What would it shine back at me? Someone that's a better person than me? The reverse of my dark aspects and the unpleasant bits of myself. The bits that insult customers and kick nobility out of the tavern. The bits that hate and scorn and resent and despise --- you get where I'm going with this. So would Mirror Magpie be someone that upholds the law and stops smugglers? Would that version of me be the sort to donate money? The kind to always sit back politely and never run his mouth? Would he be pious?
It's a weird thought and does anyone really ever step back and think about all those little pieces that came together to make them who they are? Really step back from yourself and study each piece. The piece that loves. The bit that torments. The chip that fears. So many little parts that make a person. Then you realize that Death ! -- maybe when she makes a new soul she's having a bad day and spits a little bit of rage into that soul, and hundred other droplets. We're all meant to be a hodgepodge of good and bad, light and dark. You can't see your reflection if you're blinded.
Wow... Where was I going with this? See, this is the logical, focused, here and now part of me taking over. It really is like your mind splitting into pieces. But, I thought to myself 'I will write you a letter cousin', because it has been far too long and that Grayhope still loves you and holds you close.
I think letter is at a good ending point, and will serve as an example to all. The strength of family and the individual tapestry of each person within. Each patch perhaps taken from a piece shared with another. The connections you have to everyone around you. I've seen it. I've seen how we're all made of hundreds and hundreds of threads silvery and blinding. Everything interconnected. Everything truly alive and not the dismal gray of the world we normally see. Others who have seen it know what I'm talking about.
Love ya, Aureth (And Binky!)

Spent a very good afternoon with Legate Aureth discussing all manner of things.
Though with the amount of information he has given me, I feel that my head might explode.
The soup was excellent, however.

I hate to disagree with the clergy on anything, and especially with a Legate! But since this isn't really a matter of THEOLOGY, I think it's okay. I'm pretty sure you're allowed to disagree with priests on whether, say, apples are best when baked and rolled in spices (true!) or whether one should use a carrot for the horn of a snow unicorn (of course not - it's just too heavy! You should roll up and glue parchment into an appropriately horny shape). So I'm going to have to stand firm!
Always expect the impossible of yourself! Go not just for the gold, but for the platinum! But recognize that it won't happen all at once, so value each step closer, and when you fail, pick yourself up and hurl yourself back into the world, preferably while singing some sort of happy little tune. Even if you can't sing!
A creature's reach should exceed its grasp, or what is there left to strive for?

All things being equal Legate, I'd wager there has at least once been a war started over someone being served a flavor of pudding they did not prefer.
I should offer a reward to a scholar that could find evidence of such a war. Now I am curious.
