I cannot overstate my delight, gratitude and pride at how well the Eidolon Gallery opening went. The gallery was graced with esteemed guests and all engaged in curious and compelling conversations about the art itself, some who found it provocative, others who thought it weird. That it inspired such diverse responses pleases me so deeply, the discussions which come from viewing such works are the entire purpose for putting them on display.
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with me, to everyone who participated in the raffle, to everyone who risked unsettled sleep to take in the strange and wonderful works of some of Arvum's finest artists.
The gallery will remain open now; all are welcome to come visit at their leisure. Artists interested in having their work--whatever form it takes--shown in the gallery, whether as part of a brief exhibition or the permanent collection, are encouraged to contact me.
I am grateful to have the opportunity to share this art with Arx, and I hope it inspires a great many more conversations.

Relationship Note on Sabella
As beautiful, brave and gracious a companion as I could have asked for in exploring the wonders of the shadow carnival.
At another of these large Lycene affairs a couple years back, I met one of my dearest friends while in the company of another who was there with me tonight as well. I think that might bode well for bonds forged amid such fantasy and frivolity. I hope that it does.

Master Oswyn's skepticism may be the finest thing I have read in the whites in an age.

An addendum to Master Oswyn's notes:
Though some spirits cast a reflection, none seem to understand the concept of mirrors and reflections as we do, unable to answer when asked if they have mirrored counterparts of their own.

Relationship Note on Dominique
I take no issue with the critiques and questions levied against the Press Secretary. I have no opinion on her accusation or joke, whichever it might truly be.
I only ask after the weight of her position, if she does, as others have said, speak with the authority of the Crown, as a voice of the Crown.
I only wonder why her white journals are leant that weight while other agents of the Crown are seen, in this venue, as speaking for themselves alone.

Perhaps I misunderstand the role of Press Secretary to the Crown. I had thought it was a specific function, not unlike a Minster or Commoners' Councilor. Is there something about this specific position which grants Princess Saoirse the full weight and authority of Voice of the Crown, particularly outside of the particular purview of her responsibilities? Do we hold the bearer of this specific position to a higher degree of scrutiny than we do others of similar function?

Today, for the first time, I am no longer Pravus by name. I didn't imagine the day would come, averse as I am to marriage, secure as I am in my loyalties. Yet, to best serve those loyalties, to serve my families, old and new, and my march, I must move forward. Too long, Nilanza has stood without an identity of its own. I let it languish without a banner beyond what its betrayers once raised. I am glad to facilitate that change, to help my march move forward from a tragedy already two years old.
Still, it feels so strange to call myself anything but Pravus. It will take some getting used to.

The Compact is far too lax in its handling of punsters to hold you responsible for your decision. It is a failure of justice.

Relationship Note on Estil
The expectation of ease and lightness becomes a burden in and of itself. How simple it is to feel as if we are failing if we do not maintain perfect grace and appreciation through all things.
Life is often difficult, and not always in dire and dramatic ways. You are not lesser for feeling that weight.

The right to question is inherent in our society, at the heart of our Faith.
It is present in the teachings of Vellichor, urging us toward understanding of our world, toward a foundation of wisdom in our daily lives. It is present in the teachings of the Thirteenth, encouraging us to hone our humanity through constant questioning, that we might know our own motivations and strive toward constant betterment.
Debate tone. Debate intention. Debate all the details until there's nothing left to pick apart.
Our right to question, however, ought never be a point of debate itself.

Relationship Note on Venturo
I maintain that poker is still more a game of skill than chance. It is not only about which cards you have been dealt, but the statistical probability of your hand outmatching the other players' and, further, how well you can convince them of your assured victory. I am yet a student of that particular skill and learned a great deal from everyone who joined us at the table that night.
That said, I may be willing to concede that it was by chance that our paths crossed and coincidence that presented so fine an opportunity for our debate to play out.

Such a strange and delightful distraction to undertake significant business agreements while waiting for assurances that my family and friends and home and Compact are safe from yet another unthinkable threat. The news which trickles up from Setarco has been intermittently troubling, to put it politely.
I have been glad for Master Venturo Thayne who has been kind enough to offer my restless energy some focus in aiding with the establishment Raconteur Brewing Company, who has been bold enough to accept my continued patronage. May what has begun as chance and comfort bloom into a bright future for the storyteller and brewer. May the capital soon know the warmth of his stories and the brilliance of his craft.
