Relationship Note on Audric

I would say that Audric deserves his barony for many, many reasons.

But as I'm oft accused of letting commoners bed me in exchange for titles--I'll simply say that he is and always will be my favorite sellsword.

And honestly? Those people deserved much, much worse.

I feel sick.

All my dreams are filled with image of insects. Crawling, writhing chitin covered bodies feasting on rotten blood and gore.

I can't even stand the sight of Eleyna's pet.

Relationship Note on Apollis

Everyday, I too, am gravely disappointed that you aren't your sister Astraea.

She wouldn't get in trouble at my father's bar, would she?

Emergency Javelin?

Part of being a Mirrormask and a worshipper of Tehom is confronting one's flaws.

And while objective, outside opinions due assist in that process-- it's earnest self reflection that results in the most progress.

Not to mention, it's hardly objective when you're paying a complete stranger for it.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

You are not poison. You never were poison.

I am honored to call you my sister-in-law. My Archduchess.

You do House Velenosa proud. You do all of the Lycuem proud.

Arienne for a boy. Arabella for a girl.

I pray to be passed by this plaque of twins. One child is already a stretch.

The things we do for duty. Or for love.

I leave soon for Setarco--with brother Driskell and Blessed Vayne at my side.

I am no solider. I am not unafraid. But I have faith in the Gods and in the brave men and woman who will take to the fields.

I am paying handsomely for books. All books. Even the ones on Economics or flowery romance.

Or a romance about economics and diplomacy eloping.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

You are a tough bidder.

But a kind women. I'm not sure whether to respect you more or be jealous that you've acquired such a cute plush toy.

As the wedding reception and raffle nears it's start, I'd like to clarify that you can still buy tickets. While some people did pre-buy via messenger, they will be for sale during the event itself. The drawing will be held at the reception's close and the winner need not be in attendance to claim their prize.

As the hours tick down towards the wedding reception raffle, I am pleased to announce the full line up of prizes, finally.

I am lurking in the archives to help ease my mind while Talen drags my poor husband to be out hunting.

And I wanted to congratulate Prince Aiden Grayson and Princess Cadenza Velenosa for their appointments to First Seekers in the Society Of Explorers.

We all mourn those that held the position before them--but I fully believe they will do their predecessors justice.

I have been humbled by the positive response to this charity raffle. So many of you have reached out to wish this endeavor well or to donate prizes.

Thank you to Prince Aiden Grayson--who donated a lovely quiver.

Thank you to Countess Titania Fireviper--who donated an obsidian dagger.

Thank you to Baron Estaban Saik--who donated a high quality bow.

Thank you to Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa--who donated an expensive and handmade bottle of perfume.

Thank you to Lord Samael Bisland--who offered to match up to the first 150 writs in ticket sales.

Additionally, I offer my thanks to all those who pledged to spread word of the raffle on my behalf. All of you have my gratitude and appreciation.

If I have missed listing your name here, it is not meant as a slight. I've simply not yet received your messenger.

Children are precious.

They may be foul-smelling, mischievous, little creatures at times--but they are precious.

I have been asked to help mentor and protect two of them. Tiny reflections of their parents, born into this world on such a strange and wonderful night. Already I love them. It’s hard not to fall in love with those wide little eyes and grasping hands.

I’d give my life to protect them.

But I know that not every child is born so lucky. Not every child is surrounded by guards, knights, and any number of people willing to lay their life on the line for them. Not every child goes to sleep on a full stomach, knowing that breakfast waits in the morning. Not every child has parents left to love and care for them.

In the wake of the vandalism commit at the Scholar’s academy, I cannot help but feel compelled to act.

So on the night of my wedding--I ask that you bring no gifts. Not for us. Instead I ask that my friends and family bring only open hearts and hands. That any silver you wished to spend on my husband and I, go to those in need.

A charity raffle will be held at the reception. Prizes will include stuffed toys, figurines, other collectable items--with tickets priced at 10 economic writs each or 3,000 silver each.

The proceeds generated will be donated to help Velenosa’s children in the wake of the war.

A more detailed list of prizes will be released tonight, please keep an eye out! Contact me via messenger if you wish to donate additional prizes or help in some shape or form.

Relationship Note on Norwood

If you're looking for a place to quietly reflect and mediate, I'd suggest visiting the shrine of the thirteenth.

Although anyone might still wander in--they will largely be respectful of your space, as they're visiting for the same reason.

I hope this helps. In such trying times, I believe everyone needs a silent moment to introspect.

I had come to pen a white journal on the subject of two children I dearly love.

Yet, after taking a passing glance at the recent whites? I fear it'd be an inappropriate time.

Well said.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.

Leave blank if this journal is not a relationship
