I've had these two random pieces of crimson seasilk for nearly a year. I should probably have something made out of them, eventually. But what?

I didn't really get to talk to Legate Orazio much but he was a very good sport during the game that we were both a part of. It was a good first impression of him to be sure!

Relationship Note on Barric
One thing that can be said about Barri, he certainly knows when to cut loose and do fierce battle when needed. Always a pleasure to know he's looking out for Ribbons back on the field so I don't have to worry so much.

Those big green fuckers went down hard, but alaericite hurts them near as much as bringers. Hopefully they'll fall just as hard as the other demon spawn did against us if we should face more of them.

Since I became an adult, I led men in battle. Shortly after arriving in Arx, I became a Voice of my House. Now I get to add one more title to the list: Game Master. Although running the games at the Spring Soiree does not compare in terms of importance or difficulty, it ranks closer than one might imagine on first impression. Our competitors were spirited, and it took all of my faculties to keep up.
I am delighted by the attendance and response to the Spring Soiree. In dark times, the rebirth offered by Petrichor each new season is something to be celebrated. And as with all great events, there were so many behind its success. I hope you will bear with me as I list a few:
* First and foremost is my fantastic co-host, Lady Monique Greenmarch. She was not only the quintessential hostess, visiting each blanket and socializing with our guests, but the entire event was her brainchild. Her weeks of tireless planning and arrangement made the night run as smoothly as it did.
* His Majesty, the King, both for attending and for gifting the prize of a portrait to the winner of musical chairs.
* Marquessa Quenia and Lady Lucita Igniseri, who arranged for the wine from their vineyards.
* Atelier Joscelin Arterius, who crafted the stunning dragonweep ring.
* Artist Jayanthi Hawkeye, who blended the one-of-a-kind perfumes as a raffle prize.
* Magpie and Mae Grayhope, who created trophies and figurines for our Battle of the Sexes winners.
* Our game and raffle winners Mae Grayhope (Musical Chairs), the women (Battle of the Sexes), Legate Orazio (the perfume and aftershave set), and Count Kael Keaton (the dragonweep ring).
* Duke Arn Telmar, for his contribution of funds.
* Marquis Marius Greenmarch, for opening his Lodge to the revelers and for his contribution of funds.
* And finally, to all of our fine guests and friends without whom it would not have been a night at all. We could not have done it without you.
Now I will sleep and not do it again for quite a while.

I am reminded that sometimes one's mistakes are the best thing to ever happen, despite the resulting, and hopefully temporary, embarrassment or angst.
I am grateful for this little reminder and even more grateful to those who have taken such and used it to build a bridge rather than to burn it.
Feeling so very blessed.

The Spring Soiree hosted by Lady Monique and Lord Corban was an excellent end to a wonderful celebration of the return to spring.
I partook in their games - though I think maybe next year one should get bonus points for being sat on during musical chairs. I'm pretty sure that would have clinched my victory. As it is, I will try to be gracious, and offer my congratulations to mistress Mae Grayhope.
There was also a women verses men game of throwing inflated pig's bladder balls at one another. I'm glad I didn't get hit - it looked painful. And I hope both the church and the gods will forgive me for targeting the Heart of the Faith Legate Orazio and Blessed Aleksei. It's tactically sound to target the leader-types, after all.
I also got to spend time with Lady Neve and Mistress Joslyn, and we had good food and good conversation with many people. I'm not sure if it was the wine or the constant hum of so many people talking that had my head spinning at the end of the night.
All in all, a wonderful experience.

My flower crown, Master Saedrus, is something I will cherish always. I am inspired by the best.
(That's you, by the way)
Also, may I just say, you and Blessed Aleksei? I could just die. I really could. It makes my heart happy to see you two together.

It was an effort made by so many but it all came together rather well, and I was delighted by the results. The Lodge looked magnificent -- and I got my snowfall of flowers. My poor attendants looked at the roof in horror when I first told them, but they pulled it together, bless them. I was rather happy to see each guest, even those that might never agree to it, donning the flower crowns.
The food, provided by the Lodge, was phenomenal and I could not fault a single piece.
Oh, I do love a party. Especially if there are flower petals falling from above.

The hunts all went off without too much of a hitch. At the very least no one was horribly injured during the boar hunt, and no rider came off while chasing down the stags. I am to understand there was some upset in regards to the pheasant hunt; those that stayed showed great skill and I think all hunters and huntresses enjoyed themselves.
I was certainly impressed by the quantity and quality of beasts brought in, and for no selfish cause but to bring to the larders of the city. This was not a senseless murder of any creature, nor cruel, not a single animal killed suffered -- as Khinn informed me, each kill was quick, proficient and respectful of the magnificent animals that will go in aid of the mouths of this city we all call home. The day was a great honour to domain and Petrichor.
I am grateful for everyone who attended, since without them the result could not be the same. Congratulations go to:
Master Calaudrin Estardes, who won the archery hunt with such skill
Princess Tikva Grayson, who felled a truly incredible stag in the mounted hunt, and;
Dame Esoka Greenblood, who battled one of the greatest boar’s Khinn had ever seen
Congratulations also go to Dame Leola Allenatore for all of the work she and the Lodge of Petrichor put into this wonderful event, and all the work they continue to do for the city, Faith and Compact.

It feels so rare to be a guest to a soiree rather than hosting and organizing it myself. Truly though, Lord Telmar and Lady Greenmarch did an exceptional job of the night.
The games looked like such fun, though some are more competitive than others, everyone wore smiles through them. The wine, company, it was a simply perfect night.
Congratulations to Lord Corban and Lady Monique to the event of the season. Simply wonderful.

I was forced due to my wife's pregnancy to represent Stonewood at a Social Gathering, which is hardly fair. Will she address the accounts in my absence? Still, it was a fine event hosted by Telmar and Greenmarch, and I do not regret attending. Spring is a fine thing and worth celebrating. I even did me duty to represent the men in a game of pig bladders against the women. We were quite handily trounced, but I will take it as something that I was the last man eliminated. What that something is, I do not know.

I had just met Lord Kaldur on our scouting mission. When we faced a creature which was giving us a brutal beating, I ordered him to protect someone and he did so without any hesitation, in spite of the great danger it presented.
He's an incredibly brave man, at the very least.

By the three triads, thank you. The first hunt went well.
I admit, when certain folk seemed determined to disrupt it, I was on edge for some time, but people were generous and understanding, and the moment of tension passed.
The party went well, though I maintain Saedrus picked the decor and such solely to find a reason to make me wear a flower crown. I owe him dearly. That said, I am far too nervous to remember what I actually said and what happened there.
The hunts were better. The sheer skill of those in the Compact continues to amaze me. Our tokens were given to those who took part, as well as prizes for those who came first. I do hope they find them of use.
