Relationship Note on Noah
Your visits are a source of excitement among the apprentices, and I couldn't rob them of that without feeling bad. Sometimes I like to give others in the city a chance to buy a dagger if they happen by the shop, especially since I stock it without any fanfare these days. I suppose I could start sending a preview item to consider, but an Archduke at the shop brings in a lot of business.

Relationship Note on Ida
I don't know why we play these games with each other. I have forgiven you for not having me as a patron. I am still thinking if I forgive Tikva about it. However, you should really just send me a price and your daggers. Why must you make me walk all the way to your shop?

Newest Nightmare fuel: Thanks to the final push at Sungreet where we captured (and killed) Waldo, I now know what it looks like to have all the humours sucked out of a body and injected into another one like with a fucking turkey baster.

Relationship Note on Atria
The lady sought information on a topic I felt I had enough knowledge to get her started. I come to discover I actually know a lot more I assumed. We had an enlightening afternoon and I was delighted to host Lady Atria at the Villa and spend time in one of my favorite spaces. I look forward to the next time our paths cross and perhaps I can persuade her to visit the shops with me for some inspiration on the designs of new gowns.

With all that storming going on, there wasn't much sense in going out. Certainly not to the marketplace since that would have been fruitless. Often I'll spend bad weather days coming up with new designs or reading old Oathlands tales. As the days dragged on, though, I kinda got bored with that stuff and pulled out some of my old sketch books. Like, really old. Old like when I first mastered the Oathlands style with steel. Gods, those were the days. Anyhow, I came across one that I remember being really proud of, so I worked on making some new ones in that style. Simple things, but looking over them brought back a bunch of memories that almost no one will see, but that wasn't really the point anyhow.

The bounds of fidelity, devotion and family seem soft things until they are called upon. It's only then, on those difficult days, that you remember just how great a weight they can be. They are the foundation of my life though and everything that makes it worthwhile. And so today I bow to Limerance again, in thanks for all I've been blessed with, and in prayer I've the strength to bear it and the road it takes me on.

My return to the city of Arx has been with very little fanfare. I have found myself somewhat changed after spending so much time in the city of my birth, my beloved city of Tor. My intentions to settle the children in preparation for formal schooling took a bit of a turn. I cannot say I consider myself very maternal, but I found it difficult to leave them behind. They have become little people with their own personalities and for the first time I felt a deep bond with each of them. I could not allow the opportunity to spend this priceless time pass me by. Especially since I was robbed of such a time with my own mother.
Not even a full day back to the capitol and I found myself in excellent company at the Black Fox. The messengers have been working double time, and meetings have been scheduled for at least the next couple of days. The endless work of ensuring the upkeep and success of Tor will keep me busy.
But for now, I am off to the markets and shops where I will no doubt purchase more presents to spoil the children. It is a foreign feeling. I believe they call it guilt.

Hope. It is something we all cling do. However, when it fades, it leaves a hole in our lives. My own sense of hope has been steadily fading. The more and more I look around myself, I see sadness and pain. I see destitution and ruin. It is getting harder and harder to see the light. It is becoming more difficult to hold the torch and keep fighting. I often feel as if the gods have all turned their eyes from me. They have more important things to worry about than some abandoned street urchin struggling to find her way in this world. But, what brings me that hope and light are some rather good people in my life. They lift me by the chin when I allow myself to get mopey. They refill my empty cup so to speak. They remind me that when the shadows come crushing inwards, then I have something to hold onto. But, I still can't help but to feel this continuous nagging in the back of my head reminding me that it's all worthless. This life only gives difficult, painful choices. You just have to choose the one that stinks the least. Still, I am eternally thankful for those in my life that help keep my head above the water of utter despair, keep me gasping for air, keep me fighting on.

General Pasquale Malespero,
My friend. My mentor. Words fail me for what you are experiencing right now. I wish I had more to offer you.
Sometimes, life is unfair. I know this. But this kind of thing? It's the hardest thing and the most unfair thing. The unknowing.
I hope you get clearer answers soon. I will always be a listening ear if you find it sufficient.

I know scholar this reads more like a letter then an entry but I am entitled to my thoughts

As always, the Faith of the Pantheon continues to offer open doors to the community at large for those in need, in any weather, including the heartbreaking aftermath of these difficult storms. We commend those noble houses who are stepping up their devotion to Gild in times of need, though I feel no particular need to call the heralds to do so.
For myself and the Church, I will be performing dawn services at the Shrine to Mangata and at the Shrine of Petrichor in the evenings for the next few days and look forward. I hope that the faithful of Arx will join me for morning beer and evening bread.

The rain and storm is gone, though there is much damage and we seek to help those that need it to repair and find temporary shelter in the process of rebuilding the city. There were a few moments within the storm which I will hold onto with a smile and happy heart.
To be able to watch family pull together and friends alike all while the seas upended into the clouds to be left to pour down upon us. Where winds shook trees and let bells find their song throughout the storm was a keen reminder of what life once was before we found life upon land.
The children also took to taking the storms to allow them to raid the kitchens in droves and make away with many cookies.

Storms aren't uncommon in the Mourning Sea, nor on the Isles themselves. We have enough families named storm-something or something-storm if you needed proof. So it means something when I say, this rain is something to be feared.
I don't know what caused it or who, but something just doesn't feel right.

And just like that..my stockpile of drinks is gone. And that bastard sun is blazing far too early for my tastes.
Now I need two things, More liquor and less sunlight. Maybe also some thicker curtains in my room for mornings like this.
Why must the sun punish me for having a good night of drink.
