Relationship Note on Cirroch
How do you put into words the loss of a friend? A close friend. Cirroch was many things to me. He was definitely someone I ran to when I needed advice, help. He was also a close ally to my family, to Ravenseye. I wasn't there, but I wish I was! I heard you died in glory. I bet I can guess. But I know the most important part was protecting others. Being COMPLETELY YOU! I will miss you, I will try and continue our research. I promise to teach your children how to climb and drink and all the other fighty things!

Relationship Note on Sasha
My heart aches for Sasha's loss. I know all too well how it feels to lose a spouse. He died so bravely, saving the lives of others. He was like my cousin. Note to self... tell Sasha about the cousin when she is ready to hear, in the meantime, just be there for her to listen or with a shoulder and handkie, or a bottle of wine, or just whatever she should need.

I wonder how many days it will be afore some lackwit gets enough other lackwits roused enough to try and burn out the prodigals.
Or mayhap it will be some daft fucker roughing up a prodigal that turns bloody.
Won't take much to spark another riot.

Relationship Note on Cirroch
I don't recall meeting the late Marquis in the flesh. But I heard about him, from time to time. He was by all accounts well-suited to his March, Giant's Reach, and to hear some say it, he was a giant among men, at least metaphorically speaking.
He chose to stand in protection of my House and my Whispers. And for that, he was sent back to the wheel.
I mourn his loss. I mourn that I never did sit down to offer him refreshment and hospitality in person. I mourn for the future he would have had.
I am grateful to the late Marquis, and I am grateful to House Sanna.
And I am grateful to all who have offered support in these times. No Whispers lost their lives, and that is another thing I am grateful for, and I expect, in part, is to Marquis Cirroch's credit.
So may we all celebrate him, amidst mourning. And may the Queen of Endings see how sorely missed he is, and send him along the Wheel with due speed.

Relationship Note on Mason
You were right, love. They do exist. I thought they were the stuff made of story and legend when we first talked about them, so long ago, as we traveled to the north with Laric, Khanne, and Tikva. But they do exist. They are a terrible sight to endure and the world is less brighter for the person who fought them so valiantly and gave his life to protect so many others.

Relationship Note on Cirroch
I am numb in all truth. I don't even quite know what your belief's on death were. Forgive my friend for all that that I did not know, for all that I knew but did not give proper thanks. I thought we had more time I never dreamed what friends we would become when you walked into the archives with that look of bewildement on your face but you listened to me from the very first. , even though you were loud and I was quiet always with a drik in hand while I never touch a drop, the warmth and honesty that radiated from you drew me in. I've always had an attraction for things and people for whom there is more than what lies on the surface and oh what layers to you my friend. Others will remember your strong arms for the axe they weilded in battle and right they should for mighty they are, but I will remember the solace they gave me in moments of grief everyone includeing myself will rember your boisterous laughter but i willl also rember quieter words. you called my friend and teacher, but you had more wisdom than you knew and taught me things i cannot express. You died as you wanted to that much I know in battle, defending others. we spok of fighting together. I must somewhere find the strength to finish what you started. I will not yield

Relationship Note on Cirroch
I both adored and greatly admired Marquis Cirroch. He was one of the best of us all, of the Northlands, and my heart aches at his loss. He was so very welcoming when I first came to the city, and I enjoyed many wonderful dinners with he and his truly amazing family. I learned a lot watching him in those early days of living here. An approachable leader with the love of his people, he was as much their friend and comrade as their Marquis. His events are the things of legends; affairs meant to get people to gather and enjoy something different and yet meaningful, as no few pushed people a bit out of their comfort zone. Mountains never yield. How very honored, blessed, and fortunate I am to have called him friend.

We had an interesting friendship and we had plans to build in Giant's Reach.
Now all I have is grief.
I promise to help your family as you helped the compact in your bravery and in honor of our friendship.

Relationship Note on Jophiel
I'm also of the mind that assisting the underserved to invest in themselves has the added benefit of investing in one's community as a whole, but it must be one's choice to accept or seek out marketable new skills. And too often, unless these opportunities are offered with stipend and boarding, being in a position to accept them takes cunning and intention on the part of the individual, and a system of support they are often without. Does the poor day-laborer not have mouths to feed? Rents to pay? Little ones and old folk to tend to? One must consider who will fill these roles while they are out learning.

I was there when Marquis Sanna felt. Not right there close up, but sitting on a stretcher having been injured in the commotion.
I - was only mildly injured, so that I could stay to pray and hope that my prayers were answered.
I think maybe Marquis Sanna was the answer to the prayers - he is a hero, and protected us all.
We will remember.

I was once told that those who champion the Gods, those who truly embrace their ideals, lead lives that are rarely long. That the enemies of the Gods are many, they are vicious. And I suppose that is true. At some point a blade will find the right gap in my armour, at some point I will take on an enemy too large because that is the right thing to do - following the ideals of the Gods is not a guide for long life, for survival. It does not help you become wealthy. It helps you be /good/. The Gods make us no promises beyond that.
Yet, the threat of death matters if you only consider yourself, if I only think of myself. But when I remember I am but one brother in a family as large as Arvum itself? The Faithful are many more than our foes, and we are honourable and dedicated - and I would match that to their viciousness any day. And that is what makes the difference. That we will know the risk, and step forward anyway. A Templar's duty, to be a part of that bright thin line of light between the darkness and our people.
And the thing is? If I fall, there will be another. And another. And another. Dame Thena, Sir Jeffeth, Dame Esoka, Mother Cassandra, Dame Katryn, Sir Leif, Dame Flora, Dame Ida, Sir Calaudrin, Dame Bree, Dame Reese..... the Gods are served well, and served by many.

I don't usually do this, but here we are.
I was at the Crown district yesterday. I was stabbed through the shoulder while five of us were trying to get Whispers to safety. Nobody in their right mind would mistake the source of that injury for a Prodigal.

(This entry is written in the lady's handwriting, but it is smudged in several places, possibly smeared with a bit of stray blood, and not as neat as usual.)
I started the day off being woken by the sound of my husband returning to our bedroom for the first time in months after being at sea. Was it this day? Perhaps it was yesterday, now. I jumped from the bed and into his arms, so happy I was to see him. It feels safe there. I intend to return there as soon as I have finished this writing.
When the messenger arrived calling for help at the hospital, I ran out of the hall without a second thought. Upon arrival, I relieved the lead physician and found myself in an unfortunately familiar scene. But the news coming in with the injured didn't make sense. It still doesn't, not really. Marquis Sanna is gone? Whisper House breached? I have no words for this.
What I do have is sanctuary. The ability to offer respite and healing. One need only ask.

I appreciate my cousin's arrival in Arx. I even appreciate how he managed to sneak right into his room and just show up to meals without me noticing his arrival. Watch out for this one.
