Relationship Note on Marian

That is not my list of just worthy opponents, It is my list of people that specifically hit with near mountain crushing force. Prince Marian you are on an entirely different list entirely.

Best Warrior I have ever fought:

Princess Marian

You are the only one on that list.

As I look back over my journal entries in recent times, I realize that.... I have been somewhat.... guarded in my entries. A quip here a bit of random commentary there, but it's been some time since I have truly shared my inner thoughts about much of anything. And so much has happened I feel like I have been lax in committing my thoughts into these page. Yet there is so much I feel I should have spoken off that I am not even sure were to begin.

So I guess it is ironic that today, I came upon an entry my sister Princess Tabitha made in her own journal so many years ago when she was explaining why your white journal is so important.

"I told Eddy that his journal is important because it creates a record of knowledge. Even if it is about something that seems unimportant. It is a record of you. The white journal that we share is an amazing thing, because it lets people that have never met you, know you. That's a powerful and an important thing. What you stand for, what makes you laugh, what makes you sad, what makes you angry. These are all things that will build a bond with the people we've given our Oath to. Many will tell you be careful in what you share, and while I certainly understand you can't share everything, be honest in what you do, be thoughtful, and be critical of what you /do/ share and you'll be a richer person for it."

When I first came to Sanctum after becoming the High Lord of Oathlands, I had a copy of Tabitha's journal transcribed and sent to me, because her's was the wisdom that always guided me when I didn't know what was right or what was wrong.

I am sorry I have not been good at sharing lately Tabby. I will do better. Maybe if you return to use someday, you'll read my words and even though, you won't be the same you.... maybe some part of you will take comfort inn our story after we lost you.

The Spring Soiree was enjoyable, even if there were people there throwing -pig bladders- at one another. When a game called 'Battle of the Sexes' was proposed, I thought perhaps to enjoy a clashing of wits. Not throwing inflated animal organs at one another.

Despite that, I quite enjoyed myself thanks to sparkling company and too much very good wine. I also made a tidy sum betting against my husband with Duchess Belladonna Pravus. I'll probably donate the money to charity.

My heart is sadden for I did not make the High Lord of Valardin's list of worthy opponents.

The hunt was glorious. I may not have place first in any of the events but it was wonderful to ride, to shoot and bring down my prey. I am impressed by all who participated. My special thanks go out to Dame Leola Allenatore and Saedrus Whisper for hosting the event.

Relationship Note on Stefano

The thought passed through my head to have a giant plush bear commissioned for you, to keep you from being lonely.

I still might.

I've seen many things in my time traveling Arvum, but I can genuinely say that very few approach the sight of an entire island frozen in an instant of summer, encased in ice. You could see flowers still in bloom, trees frozen in a single instant forever, everything painted in chill colors.

It was bleak, but beautiful too. And strange to think it was an instant hundreds of years old. A breath held forever and never exhaled. Like looking into the past.

Someday, I'll go back again.

Relationship Note on Audric

I have heard many things about this man. Some I even believed. But now I realize I was mistaken.

He's clearly a hero.

I had the honor of attending a beautiful event last night hosted by Lady Monique Greenmarch and Lord Corban Telmar. It was beyond beautiful, flawlessly executed, and something that shall be the talk of those that attended for some time. I am humbled to be the winner of the game of luck that resulted in my acquisition of a priceless dragonweep ring. It now sits beautifully on my wife's finger, and, hopefully, shall be in the Keaton family for many generations. When asked of the piece, we shall certainly tell the tale of its origin.

I enjoyed myself quite thoroughly at the Spring Soiree hosted by Telmar and Greenmarch. Both the wine and the company were excellent, and I enjoyed watching the games that were played. It was highly entertaining, though I believe I may have had too much wine. It seemed to be a problem shared by many; the Granato we were served was excellent. I do believe I may have to speak with them regarding it.

When someone asks 'may I...?', they ought be prepared for 'no'. If you are going to do it anyway, if 'no' is not acceptable, perhaps do not bother asking.

Relationship Note on Alaric

A message to scholars and to his Kingshipness:

I assure the things that terrify me are without limit. Having the Royal Attention upon me is one of the things that I find very alarming. Failing to inspire a work worthy of such an artist's brush is one of the things that I find very alarming.

I'm a rubbish guest and a worse muse. And hopefully this journal is read, and I can lower the Royal Expectations appropriately, so as to be slightly less disappointing.

I've been using leathers instead of the standard issue steel for a few months now. I don't miss feeling like I was going to have heat stroke at midday, or the weight of it. On the other hand, I don't really feel protected as I was. Going back is unwelcoming, but I certainly felt my scrapes and bruises a lot less. I wonder if Valardin worry about things like this?

Arx. It's even better than I thought it would be. Anything I can think of is for sale somewhere in walking distance. I still need to buy some new clothes but I can't decide on a style or color. I just know they're going to be silk and soft leathers now that I don't need to worry about snagging them on branches or thorns. And bright.

It seems to be an undeniable and fundamental quality of man, that when faced with extinction, every alternative becomes preferable - justifiable, even at the cost of one's humanity. In those times, whether in the name of the divine or the demonic, it makes monsters of us in the end.

I met with Mistress Mirari this morning to talk about wines, which possibly wasn't the most well thought plan I cooked up. But, I'm still new to this being a Marquessa thing, and while she did not walk away buying some of our wines, she did walk away with some of our other commodities: olives. She is now selling our herbed olive oils in her family's shop. I hope that she does well with them, and that perhaps others will want our olive products as much as they've contacted us for our wine products.

Vincere, Pietro - wherever you might exist now - I am trying to do my best, I promise. I miss you both so terribly, terribly much. One day, I might even forgive you for dying and leaving me alone to deal with running a house.
