Relationship Note on Reigna

In either case, noble or commoner, these are titles of duties. The only difference is where on the spectrum of servitude you are placed. Whether your scope of personal impact is large, or perhaps your impact is on a smaller, but equally important scope. It is my opinion that all of the subjects of the Compact, from commoner up to the King himself have a responsibility to the greater good of the Compact itself. Nobles who stray from their duties, or commoners who stray from the law threaten to betray that duty and violate this responsibility.

As for your latter question posed, it is my perception that this is indeed the case. From my view point, Commoner and Noble alike have become closer in relation than they naturally would in their home domains.

Relationship Note on Agatha

Princess Elgana Redrain doing bear impressions... Now that is a sight I would certainly find joy in seeing.

I shall have to make a note to request as such the next time I find myself with the pleasure of her company.

Relationship Note on Caith

I can indeed confirm the quality of those hugs being of a premium level. In fact, I should think there are none in the entire Compact that hugs quite like my dearest cousin.

Relationship Note on Lavinia

So then if I am to understand this correctly, the duel from your perspective is something Prince Barric is devising for his own purposes, unendorsed by yourself. From my own observations, this action is unendorsed by Marquessa Dominique as well.

Then it simply is his own offense he has taken, and is not in support of anyone else. Thank you for the clarity.

Relationship Note on Thena

You pose a good point, Dame Thena.

Please allow me to rectify the situation by identifying a lack of understanding of the entire situation. Clarity from all sides interests me.

Relationship Note on Samantha

I think what I find most interesting about the entire situation is, not only how the Prince stands in defense of these Ladies (whether with their consent or not, I'm uncertain), but also how he has edged onto the possibility of insulting our tradition of calling for champions to fight in our stead by implying that Prince Ardoin would possess any less honor for not standing in the ring himself.

It is all very curious, and to sate my own curiosity, please allow me to humbly request that Prince Barric clarify the situation further for the record.

Relationship Note on Caith

Me? Instead of Tomwell?

I'm certain I would fetch a fine price, but clearly you have very poor taste.

Relationship Note on Caith

Behave, dearest cousin. Next thing you know you'll be offering Tomwell up for trade.

Though if you do that, can we make sure to get someone who is charming and not a complete pain in the rear?

Relationship Note on Bianca

In retrospect, I really must give praise to Archscholar Bianca for her punctuality, invaluable insight and patience. We met earlier to discuss at the Tea Shop in the Valardin Ward to discuss business and I was rather delighted to share in her company and absolutely thrilled for the information she provided me with at the meeting.

Are we really going to provide our valiant defenders with offensive and aggressive questioning before they have even had a chance to return home from war? The Compact is in danger and yet here we have a handful of 'brilliant minds' questioning every move they have made, and are currently making. If your love of the enemy is so great, raise your banner for them instead so we may know your name and cut you down just the same. Proper record of historical events is highly significant to me, but it is a courtesy to provide our heroes, the Defenders of the Compact, at least enough time to conclude the battle, so their wounds may be mended. So their hearts, for watching those who bleed and die around them, has time to recover.

It absolutely confuses me how frequently a Scholar of Vellichor records something to be put into a white journal that is clearly not what the person transcribing their memories intended to have written. What are we teaching these Scholars? Why are they recording the current conversation they are having... About what they are recording? I am at a lose.

Relationship Note on Bethany

The Mercier Tea Shop has always been my favorite drinking establishment in this city, as I have a distinct appreciation for high quality tea. With Mistress Bethany Mercier returning to Arx, it is the humble opinion of the writer that the Tea Shop will only continue to grow in it's elegance. I look forward to making your acquaintance and seeing what you will do with the shop in the future.

In this, I concur. You will never see such an advertisement coming from House Leary about Leaholdt lumber.

The duel of champions between Princess Caith Thrax and Princess Saoirse Velenosa will simply be far more interesting if they share a champion. Will he have to battle himself, I wonder?

Relationship Note on Derovai

Also is the Duke to be faulted for finding women attractive? If this is the case, then I think many men and women in the city are also at fault for this crime.

Relationship Note on Mae

I said nothing of your intellectual capabilities.

You have failed to quote the Duke in this instance.

"It is interesting how many unmarried noble women there are in the city at this time. I seem to find one around every corner, almost. I'm not complaining -- they're almost all beautiful and pleasant. It's akin to walking into a field and seeing an abundance of beautiful flowers of every type surrounding you. It's enough to take one's breath away, almost.

Of course, I have to remember that no matter how beautiful or aromatic a flower might be, it has to fit the need -- I was reminded of that last night. Thank you for that."

The Duke compared the beauty of women to flowers, and attested that there are plenty of beautiful women in the city, as you can see in the first paragraph. In the second, he identified that the woman which he should marry should benefit House Ashford. However, if you could perhaps identify where he commented that women are to be used and plucked for his whim in his journal entry, that would be most helpful in clarifying your opinion on the subject.

Relationship Note on Mae

So the Duke commented that there were a lot of beautiful women in the city, but that he must not be distracted by these and instead select a woman that suits his House the best. Is this an accurate understanding of the written works you wish to be remembered?

Relationship Note on Mae

You are certainly helping to come to the realization that an education reform is necessary, along with Master Magpie Grayhope.

There was nothing identified in the Duke's journal about flowers. If there was some confusion about the intention of his statement, it would not be difficult for you to ask for clarification.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
