He seems like a man of depth.

Relationship Note on Erik
It is not a lie nor is it an unknown fact that I am struggling this winter. I find it absolutely beautiful. It is a wonder every where I look at the white flakes. The beauty. How it transforms but...
I am freezing.
I haven't left Tor in all my years for a winter yet. I find myself completely unprepared for how my teeth chatter or how quickly my love of fire has grown. I think my lips turned blue too. I'm not sure if that's not some Northern magic trick (in the most proper of meanings), but I'm horridly cold. It makes me move just a bit closer to people too.
He had this wonderful cloak but not a cloak. It was a blanket. Warm. Amazing. I wanted to keep it, but theft is unkind. I strive not to be unkind. So he sent me my own!! I have never been so happy. Okay, that's a lie, I'm always so happy. However, this is so warm and I am wearing it everywhere. No matter what I am wearing.
We have decided to call it a Cloaket for women. Fashionable, yes? The version suited for masculine dimensions is 'Bloak'. I am more than happy with this. Oh and with semi-secret names that came from the pajama party.
Thank you Lord Erik, it is much appreciated this winter.

Diary Readers,
I am a Devotion of Limerance, and I adore that. I adore the God that gave me direction. It means that sometimes people come to me about advice or thoughts on the matter of this God. I am not the voice of Limerance. So I think I might offer a few ideas on what to pray to the Gods for on your future spouse, or even your current one. Please though, take this as you will. Everyone's path is their own.
This first one is that your future spouse, be a commoner love match or a honor-bound duty match, is that they follow the Gods. You need to have equal footing. They don't have to follow your patron God of choice, but they should understand faith. If you are strong in the faith, you might feel the temptation to slide back if they are not on equal footing with you. If you are weak in the faith, they will not be able to hold you up when you doubt.
You will doubt. We all doubt. So when you are looking for a potential match, think first of the Gods. Pray to them that they bring you to the one that shares your devotion to your level; whatever that may be. Speak to the clergy to find what your level might be if you are not sure. The Gods should be a front part of your household. You should honor them as is right.
Now, this is just my thoughts as a Devotion. It is not speaking for the Faith on whole. You must as always follow your true path, whatever it might be. There is only one you and you are the only one that must walk the path before you. When you set down your feet, decisions are made. Even inaction, is in fact, an action. Travel well on that path. Love one another and be kind.

Snow.
I am caught up in both finding it horridly freezing. It is definitely not Tor. This is not at all Tor weather. However, I am finding my excitement in everything I can do in it. I have found that I much prefer to soon find a blazing fire and warmed food or drink after, but it could perhaps grow on me.
What do you all do in the winter, please send messages of suggestions?

Love and duty are not always bed partners; in many ways.
There is the duty we have to our families, but there is also the duty we have to remaining true to ourselves. Some times I think the greatest love that can be found is between friends. Sometimes, those friends come about it from less than ideal situations. It is good to be loved and to love; even if it is not a romantic love.
I have always said and will always say, that I wish for happiness in all that I meet. I do not say this as lip service, but as an ideal of truth. I have courted a notion of my future and it was not one I was expecting to court, but I agreed to let it play out as it will. It has played out and I am so thankful for it. I wish I could express my thankfulness that I feel, but words are not quite the right ones.
I am thankful for the distraction of romance when I needed it.
I am thankful to see a person realize their true self and above all to honor it.
I am thankful that when the tides turned, hearts did not move from love - they moved the love.
I am thankful that romance left a great friendship.
I am thankful for that person and I hope there is a bit of this time of chaos that he finds thankful for me.
May you all be blessed by Limerance and know the power of glorious love and honor in duty.

All those that happen upon this,
You are enough. You are wonderful and you are loved. I know that sometimes life just doesn't happen how you want it to or how you thought it would, but that doesn't mean it's not how it's meant to. It will get better and pain does go away. Hearts do mend. You will find that all out there if you just remember to breathe. We are more than our steps on the path, we are the journey and the life we live. We are everything we touch, for we leave just a little of ourselves and we are given that from others.
I want you all to know that Limerance is love. That love we are inspired to have, but that love is not just romantic. It's the love of a parent or a child. It's the love of friends. There are so many definitions of love and you are loved. There is someone out there that loves you right now. For who you are. Without question. Imagine how wonderful things would be if we could let go of the dark and live in the light. The beauty and transformation that comes with truly loving without need or greed. The ability to give fully and to be fully receptive.
I want you all to know that in Limerance you are loved and as his Devotion; I care.

When there is turmoil, we must hold fast to our oaths and our vows. Limerance is amazing and is the God of love, but love has two sides. While love is forgiving and understanding, it is also punishing. It is an act of love to discipline one's child when they are walking away from the path or becoming lost. It is an act of love to remind people of their oaths and vows and let them decide their actions.
If their actions and choices are to break an oath or a vow, we must remember what that says to the person. It is not lightly that the Gods hear of oaths and vows and it is not lightly that they view them being torn asunder. We must not look at that lightly either. However, all actions are not without hope. For love also births hope and compassion.
An oath of fealty is no less important than an oath of fidelity. They are one and the same of altering levels within Limerance. We know these oaths have been broken before and the God of love still loves those people around him. I would urge all of you to remember that even an oathbreaker is a person. We error because we are human. We stumble in our paths when we think we are walking correctly. It is not an issue to make light of. It is an issue to have compassion and help to charter a course that brings them back to the path.
That is not to say there are actions and times that an oath is no longer valid or not crafted in good faith. If this is the case, then it should be brought up before the Godsworn in Limerance and the Assembly of Peers. This should be an investigation, not an accusation. Not an act of rebellion. We have seen what rebellion has brought us before. It brings change yes, but also bloodshed when that change is not properly followed. I ask each of you in these times to act with patience. Wait. Wait for the answers that are forth-coming. Wait for the Gods to act. Wait for your trust in the oaths you have taken to right themselves. In these times that we wait, I ask that you do so in love. Do not do it in judgment. Do not do it in jest. Do not hold down your fellow man when he stumbles. Do not allow the dark murmurs of pride cloud the judgments of love.
I ask that all that read this remember we have all fallen short in our lives and decisions. We are not without things we too must atone. Do not mock a break in oath. Do not forget that we are also all connected in our Godly devotions. We help each other as we fall. When others stumble we should correct, but we should correct with love and compassion.

I hate to admit failure. It is a horrid thing, even if it happens to everyone out there. This week, it feels as if I have said all the wrong things. Done all the wrong things. My words not coming out like they have in my mind. It's been broken. I don't know I was struggling so hard for what I needed last night. I went to the Hart with lovely people, but still, I could not feel that release that I normally do. I could not feel the rightness in my spirit. I am not sure any of you know this feeling and I'm sorry to drone on if you come across this entry.
This morning. I still felt lost. It was a humbling experience to say the least. Things were not as they were. Deceptions offered, but yet perhaps there was something good that came from it. I struggled so hard when my honor and my words were questioned. How does one prove innocence in a matter, even if one is truly innocent? It caused much frustrations. In my frustrations, I then vented to another. I vented like there has not been a vent known. I wanted to look at it from all the angles to see where I mis-stepped. Where did I error in action. In that discourse, it seems things went a little sideways again. I smoothed them over, but that means it was with my words. Twice. I am the common thread. The lesson was a painful one to have on both counts. However, it is finished. It is done. It is time to move past.
I went out for a bit today, but still was so restless. It was as if my spirit would not stop moving. I could not feel that calm that I always felt. So I found myself wandering. Questioning. Watching. I found myself at the shrine of Limerance, asking for what I'm supposed to be doing. What was the right way to go? Was it act? Was it halt? What was it? The answer came to me as a lightning bolt of knowledge. I was to wait. It was not the answer I wanted, but it was the answer I humbly received.
Things are not on our time. They are on the time of Gods. I lost a person but another came home safely. My heart broke, but it was healed in the calm. It is like that, our paths, we walk them and we hope we step well. Sometimes we tread off the path and lose our way, but we are always welcomed back. If anyone is feeling lost, know there is always hope. There is always a way back. People are put in our lives for reasons. It might be a smile at a time of need or a shoulder for tears. They make sow the seeds of love that will last forever. They may make you release your strengths, or your weaknesses. They are important. You are important. Love wins out. You just need to breathe and know it is not the end while you still have breath.
Thank you to those that have enriched my life in Arx. I give thanks for each of you that I have spoken to, spent time with, and I pray for those that I am yet to meet. May we do it with open hearts and open minds.

Deception.
The word seems horrible to even write on a journal entry. It just is the opposite of everything I try to be. Perhaps I am unwise to just take people mainly for what they seem. Then I question. It starts down a path of twisted thorns that I sometimes forget are with the petals. There are always paths lain before us. They radiate our wants, our needs, and our oaths. We have to decide which to take. Do we trust one over another? Do we deny what our heads say to follow our hearts? Do we silence our hearts to heed our minds? Which is the foolish path?
I find myself musing this, perhaps it is because the winds grow colder and the spring of love is fading ever fast. Maybe it the city and the awe that it has struck in me. I am not upset nor do I feel fully deceived. It is just a question that was poised and one I am not sure how to answer. How does one know if another is truthful? Which is better to see the shadows, or to dance in the warmth of the sun?

Oh Arx…
This city is just lovely and the people are lovely within it. I finally tried Kindness out for the first time. While I gave my opponent a run for his silver, I fear that he won in the end. I should look into training more to get better at this. I cannot help but find beauty and rapture in every corner of this city. I know that we are touched with sadness, but there is so much happiness around that dark. The light has always come after the night and it always shall.
Although, I have found myself musing my dedication to Limerance. I am in no way questioning it! I am fully entranced by the God of Love, Fidelity, and Oaths. I am just curious if I am living out the expectations well. I do hope that I am. I have been most interested in seeing the opinions of those around me. We are all to love each other. It is as important as breathing. We have all been created by the Gods to be the person we are now. Our destinies and our paths are lined with those Gods and the decisions. We are to love each other and love the difference of opinions.
Have I mentioned how much I adore this city and everyone in it?
OH! Did I write about Salty?
I got my goat, that weirdly everyone keeps trying to eat.
So far she has eaten one of the rugs at Fidante estate. She has head-butted one of the cats. She's tried to eat Happiness, who was less than happy about that situation. Now, she's discovered that she may be feline. She's just reclining with the other cats around the home. Every so often she will bleet as if asking a servant to bring her food. If they do, she just looks at them. If they do not, she LOOKS at them. Have you ever seen a person wither from a goat's look? She's a bit... grumpy, but she's so small. She's so cute. I love her so much.

Relationship Note on Artur
You were a dashingly amazing escort, even though I have a feeling you did not truly wish to escort me. I told you it would be fun and it was. You saved Mistress Petal from the pink chalk arrows and then you literally.. literally swung in to save me out of no where from falling in the mud and just falling in general.
Oh it was amazing. You were amazing. Everything was amazing. You got a goat too. Then you walked me home before duties called you away. Thank you for being a Princely escort. Thank you for getting us through the maze.

I feel like I haven't really caught my breath. Everything is so amazing in this city. The people. The people are by far and large the best part. I am just so captivated by them. I also got a certain person to send me an apology gift; two actually. I hate to admit that I cannot really remember what I was vexed about, but still. It is a good start. They were... odd gifts, but still it is the thought that counts. My messenger pal and I continue to trade messages. I enjoy that so much. OH! I should see to Narcissa too. Perhaps she needs jokes, in fact, if any of you read this, please send her a joke.

Oh Journal,
Arx is more amazing every day. I met with a woman tonight. That doesn't sound close to the interesting talk that we had. I am just so excited to meet all the people in this lovely city. I can only hope that I am doing right by the Gods and by my family. OH! And someone sent me a cupcake. I'm rather excited about that too. I was talking about sweets and there is one delivered to me. It was a sign, surely, that the Gods think my path is right.

Being Arx I have found so many things to find delight in. I have also made a friend to share correspondence with. It is quite wonderful really. I also find that I'm starting to see how more of the world works. While I am not ignorant of it, I have spent a great many years in Tor. It's good to be around other people from other lands than my own. I'm enjoying seeing how we all connect and yet have our differences. If you are reading this, I would love to hear about your cultural differences if any. Please send word.
Whereas a knight in this captivating city, I am trying to suss out just how the trends turn with public opinion. I'm not saying any opinion is right or wrong, just I am learning to watch the debate. To see how sides form their ideas and sway the world to their thoughts. It is important though to remember that people are behind those thoughts and opinions. We must act in honor and love always.
To all that have met me or even wrote about me(!!!), I am everso pleased that you are in my life. This could be for a breath of time or the remainder of my time. I am honored that you have given me any time of your own. Thank you.

I do not feel as anyone might read my journals, they are just for me and thoughts I might share with the world. Ramblings. Musings. I am alright with this. There has been so much talk about the wrongs and the rights of public decisions and declarations. I am not one to speak for my faith on a whole, but I may speak on my faith on a personal wit.
Oh my beloved reader who might find this. I pray only that the darkness of your heart is lifted up to Limerance and that you let his love flow through you. There are times that feel dark, but please remember that they are most darkest to you; when your dawn is upon the horizon. There is always hope. There is always change. I have read some of the journals and I am excited for everyone's passion in their faith. It is a glorious thing! It is breath-taking in the beauty that it is created and fills us. That we choose our steps, not just by our desires, but by our callings and how we hear and feel that call.
I do not believe it is meant that one knows the true heart of the faithful. We must do what we can to love each other and to be loved by each other. We may choose to bestow charity if our heart believes we are following our calling. We may choose to deny it as well, if we feel it might crumble the path or enshrine our walk with barbs instead of petals.
Love is the cornerstone. Love is the importance, but there is a duty that comes with love.
We must honor our oaths, even if they are not the popular ones. We must stand devoted in our sacred trust. Part of that trust and oath, is to look over those that we shepard. This could be our family. Our friends. Our church. Those that have entrusted their walk to our leadership. We must believe that every oath out there is one of morality and honor. We are to be creatures of honor. If one of us mis-steps in our guidance or our choices, we must believe that the Gods will alter our path to steer us.
I will not speak to what path a person should walk, because that is not mine to decide. I will just say that we must act in love and we must act with justice, faith, devotion, and honor.
It is my solemn prayer to all that reads this - that you feel your soul uplifted. That you feel your heart expand in knowing you are loved by the Gods and that you are crafted to love. I pray that your dark moments are dimmed beneath the brilliance of your hope and your faith. I desire you to know you are not alone and that you are the perfect being that you can be; because you are the only you that exists. I pray that we may focus on the good in life, even when presented with things that threaten to break our hearts.
If you wander across my journal and read it. I pray only that you are left better by it.

Relationship Note on Bree
I everso am excited to meet you. We should arrange this soon. I shall bring my sword and you shall bring yours. I am just excited to meet another that has the same sword name. Perhaps we should start a club?
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
