We called the banners to war, the King has called the Generals and the Generals have called the Ministers. It's coming. The building anticipation of war has finally reached it's peak, and it will not be long before all hell breaks loose.

Again.

Relationship Note on Xander

Thank you old Seargent. The opportunity to cross blades with you was both exhilarating and constructive. It was a pleasure and an admonishment to be reminded that war is not as simple, nor as elegant as a duel can often be. Your steadfastness and tenacity throughout our entire match was nothing short of praiseworthy and made me realize that even my youth will not be a line by which to cling to for safety in the coming days.

The whispers and worries continue to come from all fronts, and yet I find myself surrounded by those who still carry the banner of hope. I shall continuously pray that their hope is not misplaced and that we shall come out upon the other side of this darkness, both alive and stronger for it.

Relationship Note on Lucita

And there it is, my sister is married, Baroness Lucita Saik now, and off to your tower. You are already missed, dear sister. I hope that you are enjoying your new position and family there with your betrothed. You will always have a place with us, so please do visit when you can.

Relationship Note on Ariella

Ah, dark haired twin, you are back and there is no end to your tales of adventure. I do believe there will be several late nights of simply hearing all that has gone on in your absence, though I am quite pleased with your ready willingness to help us properly plan for... events as it were at our dear sister's coming wedding and reception. The committee for shenanigans has been growing rapidly and I know you will be welcomed with your brilliant bawdiness and wit.

With the arrival of more family, I find myself more deeply intrigued by the current events within the city. It would seem that there is a draw to bring those who were away back to Arx, and those whom we have trusted to guide us for so long are slowly disappearing, or are drawn away to circumstances outside of the city. Each event on its own is not something to be alarmed about, but there are patterns, patterns in the greater picture and these must be examined for their significance.

I swear I had written more this week, however it would appear that time moves swifter than I often realize. In the last few days I have been delighted to encounter several Northerners who have shown great insight and hospitality, I think I finally am seeing the things that drew my cousins North.

Songs of lament and mourning have filled our halls of late, I may not have known many of those whom we have lost, but Lucita's songs have left me feeling their loss in ways I cannot explain.

My cousins, the twins have arrived, and while I realize they have been here for a while, I am excited to note that I have finally had the opportunity to speak with them again! They are here and they have already found all sorts of trouble to get themselves into. I do hope that the one whom has become a Princess does find what she is seeking and as for the other, I have yet to hear her sing since she's been home. I do hope to rectify this lack, very soon.

Again the nights spin on in Arx and I find myself more amused rather than not as of late. There are things afoot, dangerous things, things that must be distinguished and dissected and examined to the point of revelation prior to the climax of the great flux that tugs against all of our lives. For now, I do hope that those whom seek to disrupt the functionality of the various aspects within our great city would instead put aside their boredom and frivolous activities, lest they be trampled underfoot by those whom have far more important and vital things to accomplish.

It has been far too long since I've seen the scribes and shared with them words that I feel are worthy of being recorded. For now I think I shall keep it short. For the past months I have I set my feet in places where I have never walked before and finally, just now, do I feel like I belong. I shall continue to walk where the path opens before me, though I shall finally take steps with a sureness that did not previously exist.

Salut Arx, I am Lord Luis Igniseri.

Relationship Note on Tikva

Met the lovely Lady Tikva in the Grotto. Unbeknownst to me, she witnessed my duel with Michael some months previously and immortalized the deed in song!

She named me Lord Valiant. I rather like it.

Relationship Note on Antonio

My arrival in Arx was soured by a vicious attack of Bringers, right in the heart of the city! Lord Antonio was with me, and with his help we kept a young family safe. The Knights fought valiantly, and I must confess I am slightly envious; songs only focus on those that throw themselves into battle, rather than those that protect innocents. Then again, the mother's tearful thanks once we had taken them home warmed me.

Sneaking aboard Prince Antonio's ship did not go quite as planned. Now he wants to come to some sort of agreement in how to repay him.

He didn't appreciate my offer of several crates of olive oil.

Rats terrify me.
I am not the only one, though.
Be magnanimous.

Well, that's that.

Perusing some of these journals--it's been a little too long.

It seems like one of the Bislands died. Hopefully I can find out who and send my friend my condolences.

Death seems to be happening more and more these days.

You never can use the fruit of the vine as an excuse, though it might make you do silly things.

Or it just makes you tell the truth.

I can't tell which is which, but I better start sharpening up that sword.

The wine from Granato, especially from 26 years ago, is a particular blend. It's conflicted in its tastes, just like the twins. I like that.

Relationship Note on Pietro

My dear cousin

I cannot believe you and your brother are gone.

On your grave I will kill every shav I see from now until the end of my days.

May your soul get the rest those bastards don't deserve.
