To say that the Compact does not need any protection is a folly. Twice we have been utterly destroyed from assaulting forces much stronger than ours. Even in those days, if the stories and legends are to be believed, our ranks were filled with miraculous men and women, capable of arcane feats unlike many of us could even fathom. Do not let arrogance cloud your judgement, and then call it resolve. We have recovered from two near annihilations. Do you presume we can survive a third?

These are particularly 'interesting' times we find ourselves in. Keep these words in mind as both history and future unravels itself to us.

Our daughters first birthday is approaching faster than I care to admit. By the Gods how quickly she has grown. I swear she has picked up more of your sass than my own.

Is this to say that you believe House Telmar thinks so little of claims against their honor that they will not entertain them in the least bit?
I simply would like to make clear your understanding of House Telmar, and how little they seem to value their honor, based on your written words.

I have always enjoyed Nox'alfar witticism. There was an entire conversation I shared with someone about what sort of book they would make, based on Nox'alfar humor.

From the observations that I have held, you are the only one who has spent any time focusing on Champion Bliss Whisper's popularity. Master Aleksei Morgan, former Godsworn and current expert on theological matters, is focused on the subject of Honor and the concepts there in.

A new name has been pegged for the House Weapon belonging to House Telmar. Empty Promise.
The humor some Lycene can possess is entertaining in the least. I'll have to collect a list of these new names for myself.

My daughter is learning how to crawl, and is doing so at an exceptional rate. Last night, the little bugger crawled under our bed and made a game of trying to escape my hands. Meanwhile, my wife had a great laugh, watching me try to get her out from under there.

An expensive mistake, I am certain. Still, I admire your work and appreciate the skill you bring to your craft.
That aside, please leave your lovely dog out of this. I have never met the little critter, but I bet your dog is absolutely wonderful.

It has been my findings that Lady Delilah Whitehawk possesses one of the most keenly intellectual and brilliant minds I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Each time I share in her company I am never disappointed for the eloquent conversation she brings.

Relationship Note on Tomwell
I recall a time when Tomwell threw my favorite book at me and told me I needed to go out and make friends. He informed me that books do not count as friends, contrary to the countless adventures I share within the pages. I still disagree with him, but that's a conversation for another time, I suppose.

It was my perception of the topic presented by Lord Faruq that it was on the nature of philosophy on a definition. Though clearly this has been proven not to be the case. My new perspective of the topic is that Lord Faruq was providing some arbitrary statement of an opinion he was unwilling to defend by providing further commentary as to what has drawn him to his stance. If this is indeed the case, I will humbly rescind my own observations of what I suspected was to be philosophy. Lord Faruq has my apologies, if I have caused him any grief over this subject.
I will conclude then, by performing my duty as a Scholar of Vellichor by informing Lard Faruq of the proper definition of what a soldier is, so he may form an informed opinion.
sol·dier
noun
1.a person who serves in an army.
synonyms: fighter, trooper, serviceman, servicewoman; More
2.ENTOMOLOGY
a wingless caste of ant or termite with a large specially modified head and jaws, involved chiefly in defense.
verb
1.serve as a soldier.
"soldiering was what the colonel understood"

Relationship Note on Faruq
Any time a system of philosophy is based only in 'opinion' and that is the only method of defending your observations and your musings, you immediately devalue the construction of your writings. There is no question about how permissible it is to provide your opinion, and judging both on the tone and context of your literature, you have done very little than provide some ambiguous definition of something without the possibility to defend your stance.
There is no doubt in my mind that you have lived your life differently, experienced things that are unique to yourself and done things in ways that no one else may have done so. Though you have not identified which experiences it is that has brought you to your conclusion on this definition. You are not entitled to your opinion, so much as you are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is ever entitled to ignorance.

I am of a similar opinion as Count Fredrik here.
You statement is too simplistic, and does not address what personally I consider to be the primary aspect of what a 'soldier' is. By definition, a soldier is someone who serves in an Army. But if we're to consider the topic philosophically, then we can define a soldier as someone who fights some form of battle. In your definition, orders are being delivered from some source, though in my considerations that is exactly necessarily the case when considered in this light. Typically, yes. But not always. In my view, annotating that a soldier fights some form of battle is more accurate to define the aspect of a soldier.
The battle does not have to be a physical one, though the lines as they have been presented in my argument are far more obscure than I would like them. A philosopher who fights a battle of wits with a colleague is not someone I would consider to be a soldier unless the topic of discussion was impactful and potentially powerful enough to change the way the world is viewed at large. I would consider a person battling with madness of the mind, who struggles to present themselves appropriately to society to be a soldier, especially if the struggle was to never touch a blade, or alcoholic beverage.
It could be argued that the source of commands is coming from the Gods, or from society itself, but in my view, again, that isn't necessarily accurate.
