Relationship Note on Aldwin
That I can call the Dominus of the Faith a friend is a blessing itself. That Aldwin is such a caring, concerned man who treats me with warmth and equity is far beyond a blessing. I do not know of any who could speak ill of him, not rightfully so. Those that do, do not know the true man. It is easy to allow our eyes to be clouded by selfishness, as I learned myself just recently. I am sorry.

I am not sure what I was expecting to hear from my scouts, but another army of Abandoned moving from the Oathlands was not it. There is relief on one hand, they are not menacing my home and my people, but we are already sorely outnumbered here in the east.
The congratulations for having somehow sent away the local shavs is at best darkly amusing. I suppose this is the other side of the coin from being blamed for poor harvests.

The voices from on-high take risk to warn us that Princess Dawn, the King’s Own, and Countess Nekarris’s actions in the interest of our defense will soon be made undone not hours after once again, it was suggested to me that their terrible sacrifice did nothing -- a sacrifice which I myself have suffered for and have never fully recovered from. There remains such derision and fostered distrust between and even within our sects, where a helping hand is met with a dubious eye and saving our world is made into competitive sport. Not all those who fight will have their name held up for all to see or even have a seat at the table. The conquering hero will not always return home to be hailed as such. We will do our part, glory and gratitude bedamned, or… well, we have all seen now, haven’t we?

Relationship Note on Selene
A very alluring and distracting woman that I am happy to have join Wavehowler Wearh with an apprentice status. I look forward to her helping me keep my commissions and sketches of work in order and filed away properly, but also to help me take commissions as well. She is a blessing in beautiful package and I hope she finds the process profitable and enjoyable work.

Relationship Note on Calliope
A woman of esteem and good taste. I am proud I could supply the Lady of Grimhall with such beautiful hairpins to remind her of her family and the deadly power of the Thraxian people.

I attended my first High Lords council this week. I was asked to join and advise on military matters. It was about as I expected, but I do have this to say:
Anyone who questions the dedication, integrity or good intentions of our High Lords is sorely mistaken or misinformed. Never have I seen such a cohesive body of government. Clearly we are all working towards the same goals and the alignment is apparent.

Relationship Note on Artorius
My cousin Artorius has heeded the call to come to Arx recently. His sister Caelis arrived not long ago. It's nice to have so many siblings together again. His daughter Serah is delightful, if a touch clingy. Truth be told I've never spent much time around children. Having one in the house is going to be something TK get used to.
Regardless of the 5-year-old, I am glad to see my cousin again. We took a turn in the training center last night and just as he always does, he sent me flying. I really have no idea how he grew to be so tall. But I am greatful To have such a warrior in House Malvici.

Relationship Note on Fortunato
There's a shine about some people, a substance and a quality. I have only met Master Fortunato a couple of times, but I have come away from each meeting with a respect and an intrigue, and a sense of time well spent. I don't believe the artist has a wasted breath to be had.

An eagle, a cat, and a wild sow shared a tall tree for their home. The eagle kept her next in the highest bows, the cat in a hollow at its heart, and the sow amongst the roots.
The eagle and the sow had few occasions to encounter each other, and carried on life without concern for the other. The cat watched them both and spoke with them both about the other.
To the eagle, the cat asked, 'Have you seen the sow? The way she digs in the earth around the roots? She must mean to fall our tree to reach us and set upon our young.'
To the wild sow, she asked, 'Have you seen the eagle? The way she plucks young hares right out of their nest? Our little ones would be just as easy.'
When the cat went out into the world, having built up her own fears of her neighbors, she snuck about and hid herself and her kittens. The eagle and the wild sow, watching the cat, found her words even more worrisome. The eagle and the sow both resolved themselves not to leave their homes, lest the other make a go at setting upon their young.
Both the sow and the eagle, and their families, perished for hunger, and the cat made fine opportunity of their demise to provide for her own family on the meat of her neighbors' follies.

Plan and plot all you like, Castiel Thrax. The future is a wildfire swirling in the wind; the pieces you so cautiously place on boards, the models you so meticulously run on your papers and the relationships you are so carefully cultivating are jokes made in a fucking drunken stupor.
Every time I open my eyes I see the future mocking me. The evidence is on my finger.

Relationship Note on Khanne
Khanne Halfshav has wedged herself in like a spear thrust against a tree with great strength. Try as you might, she seems impossible to dislodge. Which is probably a good thing since she'll need that fierce determination for what she's planning to do. Spirits and Gods watch over her. I'm growing too fond of the woman to want anything to happen to her.

The actions of Brother Fawkuhl, still missing, left a deep wound between the Faith and the Shamans to the north. This is a wound that needs not exist, and one that I am pleased to say many have been willing to help heal. Prince Darren and Princess Drea have both reached out; Princess Freja has been delightful in her own offers. Yet it is the efforts of Lord Rowan and Lady Khanne that have touched my own heart the most on the matter. The two of them recently sent the Faith a massive working of their own in order to honor the traditions of the Faith and the Compact.
I am quite pleased with the totem that has been delivered to the rectory and accept this donation for the Faith in the spirit it was given. Donations are never about the monetary value, dear readers. It is about the effort, the time, the sincerity behind the donation and how much it means to the giver. We accept this totem and recognize the craftsmanship, the effort, the sweat and labor that went into it.
Lord Rowan and Lady Khanne have my thanks for it.
I just need to determine where to put this thing.

Relationship Note on Edain
In the time that I have been in this city I have seen a lot, acts of kindness and completely horrible things for no other reason than rank or status.
There are so many reasons that Prince Edain stands out. Many of those reasons are easy to see. He cares about his people, all of his people regardless of the differences between them. Sometimes those differences make us stronger. He is kind, strong, a good leader and so many other things that it's hard to figure how how to write this without it sounding trite. He has had my loyalty from the day I met him and he continues to show me all the reasons why giving him that loyalty was such a good choice. Today was kindness and understanding. Caring about something he didn't have to care about. For seeing someone having a moment where they falter because they are human and not thinking less of them for it.
I am proud to fight by his side and to help wherever I am needed.

Relationship Note on Arcelia
My dear sister what can I say, I have been your guardian since you were a small baby and now I wish to do nothing but protect you to keep you safe. It pains me inside to know that someday soon I will not be able to do so anymore and I fear that day, if you only knew how much it scares me to know you will be spreading your wings and fly away. You have become such a beautiful woman, a noble Lady just know that no matter what no one is good enough for you and that I will be there to catch you if you fall.

So the other day I saw Prism again. How other people don't just stare at her, I can't imagine. She embodies what it means to hope, I think; if there were a person representing hope...but she herself would say we *all* represent hope. So I'm going to redouble my efforts to provide and inspire hope for everyone.
