Relationship Note on Edain
The story that is told in Suj'abbat is of the fool, the thief, and the wise man. The three sought to travel together from Suj'abbat, and went southwest, crossing three horizons, and found themselves lost in the Munas Eb'cis.
The three men heard the song of the Munas Eb'cis, coming from a distant dune. The fool leapt to his feet and cried out: "Aha! This way!" The other two did not follow, and eventually, the sound of the fool's excitement faded from their ears.
Night fell. The thief awoke in the night to the sound of the song of the Munas Eb'cis, pitched differently than before, and coming from a different direction. Quietly, he stole the wise man's food and water and set off to follow the song.
The wise man awoke in the morning. He found that he had no food, and no water. He found that he had no fellow travelers left to rely upon. The landscape had changed completely from the previous day, and he did not know where he was.
The wise man did not wander. He sat, and waited, and listened. The Munas Eb'cis sang to him from one direction, in the same tone as the one followed by the fool. The wise man did not rise. The Munas Eb'cis sang to him again, from another direction, the same tone that had lured the thief. The wise man did not rise. The Munas Eb'cis became quiet. When the sands sang again, it was in a tone that the wise man could not only hear, but feel -- vibrating, in his heart. The wise man rose, and unhurriedly followed this song. Every step was like the bowing of a string, and the song continued for as long as he walked, and so he walked cautiously.
As the wise man walked, he passed the fool, who had been buried in a sand dune the wind shifted onto him as he ran, and suffocated. Some time later, he passed the remains of the thief, who had loaded himself up with everyone's food, and thus found himself prey to the predators of the night. The wise man continued, and it was only when a trading village was in sight that the song of the Munas Eb'cis began to fade from his ears.
There are romantic souls who insist that the song of the Munas Eb'cis was the wise man's husband, singing in their home, with a love so heartfelt that it carried across the dunes and protected him. The saying is that if the song of the Munas Eb'cis strikes you as though you were hearing the song of one who loves you, then it is the song that will lead you on your way.
I do not know that this journal entry will reach you, my brother Edain. However, if I sing, I pray that it will guide you through the Munas Eb'cis.

Relationship Note on Edain
Here he is again, going down a path I doubt he saw coming, and part of me wishes I could follow him there as well. Maybe in time, that's where my journey will lead. Instead, for now, I will remember the words he told me his sister, Princess Tabitha, once told him: "In politics everyone is looking to get what they want and will turn on you to get it. Once you realize that, you realize there is never a reason to do anything other than what you believe to be right."
I promise to keep doing what I believe to be right and uphold the oaths I made to you and House Valardin, even if you aren't here to make sure that I do.

My sympathy to whomever has to clean up the mess in the Unkindness. That was a pretty bad wrecking. Oh, and the Fox. I hope that place gets cleaned up since it's one of my usual haunts.

Relationship Note on Mihaly
You say, quite adroitly, that gleaning wisdom from contemplation of war is akin to asking how the wind blows. I could not agree more. For many warriors, knowing how the wind blows is pointless. The wind does little to deflect the thrust of a spear or the slash of a blade from horseback. It does even less to drown out the screams of the dying and the dirges for the dead.
I will note, in closing, only that I am an archer.

But. I will say this.
Seems like you're desperately seeking answers to something.The answers you seek to the questions you ask to the empty world. I can tell you this much from over twenty years of soldiering. And twenty years in and out of various wars. Losing them. Winning them.
There isn't an answer to them.
The nature of war simply is. You exist within it, or you play the smart choice and contend outside. To develop a philosophy around to gleam some kind wisdom around it is asking how the wind blows. An exercise in determining the nature of the human mind. Some single facet to a greater whole that'll reveal itself in some grand revelation.
It's war. It just is.
Keep doing this long enough, you'll find your own answers. One that'll suit you. Don't pay no mind to the words of an old knight staring down the blade at the twilight.

Since then I've heard many a call of "Death to slavers". And I wonder how many of those truly know what they're saying. How true their commitment to their destruction. Will you stay true to these words when their children watch you execute these slavers, children too young or unable to comprehend the evilness of their parents' actions? Will you put to the sword those who might have spoken of reform? Will you put to the sword those whose fear blinded them to the choice before them? Those whose priests have spent the last decades and centuries telling them how to think, what was right and wrong?
I have tried to understand and forgive. Yet there remains that dark core of hate and anger that would be all too happy to see them all drown by angry seas and their world brought down to ash. The same core that agrees whenever one takes up the cry of "Death to slavers". The core that knows their deaths will never replace what was lost, but does not care.
I know where I stand. I know where I should be. I know they are two different places. When you next take up that cry, consider that it places you in a dark place that cares little for attenuating circumstances and excuses. Consider that when your words are tested, this righteousness of yours will be soaked in blood and that the people you've freed will see not hero but monster who took their loved ones away.
Unless your words are hollow and you repeat them simply because it's what you've heard others do.
