Obviously I didn't kill myself last night. I was drunk. I'm not responsible for what is written while I'm drunk. That's why I write in the black book when I am drunk, not the white.
Two days at sea, the Coast is well, the men are well. Ghenti fell overboard. Passed out while shitting himself is the word. According to the chirurgeon he's had bowel issues since before departure. Good splicer of lines. Not much else positive to say of the sailor. Obviously his family will receive his pay from this voyage, dead or not. Good time to die though, we may be in Arx months, even years. That's a goodly sum for a family that can begin seeking a new breadwinner in less than a month.

More to focus on. Dragon, incredible creature, shame to kill but necessary. Perhaps corpse can be used to create new kinds of armor, medicine? Must salvage good from death, even if Dragon is malicious. Especially if malicious. I feel more at home researching these things, these days. Good or bad? Unknown. Stranger in normal land.

Well now. Quite the tasks I have before me. Especially with preparing our manor in Arx for proper formal occupation. Time for recruitment! Also time to start building some relationships up in this place. Seems attending the Tournament of Roses Grand Melee one way or another is in order. I bet an old eye eyed man could surprise some of them…

Red and Alarissa throw a good party, but fuck me, holding onto a bunch of steel silk all night was fucking nerve racking and I ain't gonna be parleyed into that again anytime soon.

Relationship Note on Alexis
You're welcome. I hadn't planned to run the Gauntlet that night, but there was incentive given in the form of the Duke of Telmar himself showing up at midnight to give his opinion on the nighttime runs. How could I not, when his encouragement was so hearty and vociferous? I will forever remember him in his nightclothes, face flushed with the exertion of sharing his outlook so vigorously.

I was happy to be able to attend the wedding for a short period of time.....but the spiders that were with the Queen..admittedly freaked me out. I couldn't stay long, but I was happy to show up for at least a small amount of time.
So many spiders....
*shiver*

I ended up attending the wedding between King Alaric and Queen Symonesse and it was quite the spectacle....first time I ever attended a wedding of such a caliber, and even moreso the first time I've met our monarchs.
Both of which are rather splendid.
A marvelous night indeed that I feel was celebrated for longer than a day in Arx.

Ah, the Royal Wedding was this week and it was the most wondrous thing, every bit like something out of a storybook. Oh, the Queen was so beautiful, and her husband so very handsome as well. It was just all too perfect, with none of the small worries that had circulated in the prior weeks amounting to anything. Afterwards, the party was magnificent, as one might have expected. In total, it is one great doubt lifted from all of us and a great moment for our people going forward.
Oh, and the Queen gave me her spider-woven veil as a gift later! I thought I might have exploded in joy.

Many may know that for quite some time, I was followed around by a very large bear named Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Unfortunately, I recently had to return him to Farhaven for a few reasons. You see, Fuzzy Wuzzy.. was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had quite a lot of hair. And apparently certain women frown upon sharing the bed with a large and intimidating companion that is as handsome as he is dangerous.
Fuzzy Wuzzy was very fuzzy, yes he was.
Remember my companion.

The King's wedding was very well done. The Queen looked stunning and the King looked very much alive and well.
Of course, I was lucky enough to have the most beautiful woman in all of Arvum on my arm. So I call the entire thing a huge success.

When I was younger, i used to sit and watched my mother bend steel to her will. Her face covered in sweat, her muscles moving in a hypnotic motion as she through her hammer down. She bent a little bit of the world to her will ever day, It was a beautiful thing to watched. She took less funds from clients, so I could be trained in different weapons. She realized that I didn't have the dexterity to do what she did, or maybe she thought I didn't have the strength to bend the world to my will. On days like this, I hope it is is the former.

SURPRISE!
Happy birthday, Reigna.
I cannot put into words how much this day has meant to me. I cannot thank those that have come out to celebrate with us enough. It means more than you shall ever know.

My deepest thanks and gratitude go out to all the people (and spiders) of Arvum who attended the royal wedding of Queen Symonesse and I, but even moreso to those worked so hard behind the scenes to prepare every banner, every bouquet, every decoration and refreshment that made our day so very special and one that will last long in the annals of our great Compact. Your names may not be known to anyone beyond your family and friends, but your King has seen the incredible results of your tireless effort and knows that such fantastic splendor does not simply appear out of nothing.

Winter's flakes herald your entry
For a beauty that shines for all seasons.
Healer's touch and kinder sentry
Are just one of the many valued reasons
Your birth should be celebrated.

Princess Alarissa even managed I think to make it around to all the tables at the party. Considering the sheer number of nobles there, that's quite an accomplishment.

I think the party went brilliantly. Having a bit of spring brought during a time of winter was quite inspired. I love the lantern party favors. Overall my sister, Monique, and Princess Alarissa should be proud of their accomplishment.

I don't know what Lycene woman started the apparent tradition of Lycene women running the Gauntlet in dresses (and heels?), but they have my respect. I may have to try at some point. When I need the extra challenge.
I frequently find the Gauntlet challenging enough on its own.

Relationship Note on Inigo
Perhaps it is a long time coming, but I cannot wait for us to be married. You have showed me what true strength and loyalty are, you have proven yourself to be not only a gentleman, but an absolute beast when you take the field. I look forward to watching you grow in your new role as Duke of Tor and I know in my heart my people will adore you as much as I.
