He offered to punch someone for me. It's an offer I'm keeping in the bank, for sure.

Prince Edain is the *nicest* high lord! There is no high lord nicer than the Prince of Sanctum.

Relationship Note on Edain
Prince of Sanctum, and sweetest of men who I have been blessed to encounter and call a friend. He welcomed me without hesitation, heard my story, and did not turn me away when I was at my lowest. It is because of him and the Valardin family that I am alive and well, so to him and Alis I owe him my loyalty and friendship unquestioned.

Relationship Note on Edain
In the time that I have been in this city I have seen a lot, acts of kindness and completely horrible things for no other reason than rank or status.
There are so many reasons that Prince Edain stands out. Many of those reasons are easy to see. He cares about his people, all of his people regardless of the differences between them. Sometimes those differences make us stronger. He is kind, strong, a good leader and so many other things that it's hard to figure how how to write this without it sounding trite. He has had my loyalty from the day I met him and he continues to show me all the reasons why giving him that loyalty was such a good choice. Today was kindness and understanding. Caring about something he didn't have to care about. For seeing someone having a moment where they falter because they are human and not thinking less of them for it.
I am proud to fight by his side and to help wherever I am needed.

Relationship Note on Edain
About a month ago, I struck up a conversation with Prince Edain about his owl and expressed my interest in raptors. I've built a mews on my property and intend to house more than one bird within it, as the hawkling Lady Aislin has promised me should be ready for training any day now. There are also plans for an indoor bird, but more on that another time.
Prince Edain kindly gifted me with one of his own Sir Roland's offspring, a female owlet I've named Couquette. I've placed stands in a few of my more commonly frequented rooms for her to perch on when I'm not keeping her on my arm or shoulder, per his instructions so that she bonds to me properly.
A few people have had an opportunity to meet her, and while she is thoroughly charming, I am confused by some of the reactions. People - well, men, mostly - seem quite puzzled by the idea that His Highness would grace me with such a gift without there being some other intent to it. While the Prince is kind, handsome, pious, and valorous, it is ludicrous to think he would take to courting anyone so soon after the Archduchess' passing, and I imagine the standard of comparison even if he was would be far higher than myself. How hard is it for people to understand that sometimes, a gift is just a gift, meant in graciousness and appreciation for a shared interest and casual friendship?

Relationship Note on Edain
Owning one's fealty and earning it are different things. Let it never be said that Prince Edain does the former without the latter. In all interactions, he seems to value my input, as a man, a vassal, and a Prodigal. I believe he truly does see the difference between my family and his as a strength, which makes him something of a rarity. He is honourable and brave, even bold - you will find few characteristics than those more admired by Greenmarchers. While I am his vassal by law because of my father, I would choose to follow him myself tomorrow if I had to make the decision. He, almost on his own, has made bending the knee a positive thing, in my mind.

Relationship Note on Edain
I cannot say I have ever really had an opportunity to speak to Prince Edain in anything other than polite passing and when addressed in Assembly. I knew what all others know, that he is a devout man, a compassionate man, a man who has recently suffered great loss, and is dedicated to serving his people.
But having the fortune of spending some time with him just a few days ago, I am not surprised to find that we are like-minded in many opinions and that he is highly enjoyable to talk to. Sincerity and empathy have power that so few people understand. We've been corresponding about my gradually growing menagerie, which for the most part presently consists of birds. Sir Roland's mate had hatched some owlets, and he gifted me with a little beauty I have named Coquette.

Relationship Note on Edain
A brave and honest man, very sincere in his honour and somebody I would trust absolutely. Perhaps I wonder if he is being assertive enough in pressing the cause of the Oathlands but then this is hardly the moment to seek personal aggrandisement and he would not be who he is if he sought it.

Relationship Note on Edain
I've known the man for some years now. My house has been sworn to the Valardin as their liege for longer than I've been alive. When my brother died, I became the Marquis of Lyonesse. Prince Edain, High Lord of Valardin, and councilor of the Regency Council still treats me with dignity and respect despite the fact that I passed my title to my younger sister. No longer am I Marquis Lyonesse, now I am simply Sir Rymarr in service to the King's Own's mandate.
Despite these facts, the prince seems not to acknowledge that fact. When I stand by in silence, waiting for attention to be called to me, he reminds me to speak rather than wait to be heard. Something which he does not have to do, but he does. That is worthy of respect.
He and I truly need to catch up some time. It is not often that I have the opportunity to sit and speak with many from home.

Relationship Note on Edain
Prince Edain and I have come a long way since the days of the Redrain Reception. He's been the most kind-hearted, trustworthy soul I know. There aren't many other men who are so mild-mannered and incredibly polite, even when they're offering critical commentary on things that absolutely make no sense. He's honorific, and not afraid to stand up for what he cherishes and believes in. I'm proud to call him my good friend, as well as Alis.

Relationship Note on Edain
I did not expect to be impressed with the Compact when I showed up in Arx, and as a whole, on the whole, that has proven true. The individuals have been impressive, but the whole is a tangled knot.
I did not expect to be impressed with the Valardin High Lord, and that has proven to be quite wrong. We couldn't be much more different in manner. We walk two different paths in belief. But those are trappings. When it comes to his actions, to the core and the values, to who he is, I see a man worthy of respect.

You came to me, when I first arrived in Arx, and you asked me to rebuild the burnt bridges between the Lyceum and the Oathlands. I thought you were naive. I thought you were a fool. So much hate, I thought, could not be undone.
Now I am the one undone, my world changed. Now, anything seems possible. I do not know if we can build those bridges, Edain, but we will try. For the the sake of our people, and the Compact we all serve, we will try.
You are my Light. You are probably also still a fool.

Prince Edain of House Valardin is becoming a fond friend and a good drinking partner. Sure, he drinks brandy rather than whiskey - but I found something he drinks! So I consider that a success.

Edain was a knight-errant in the last two years of my travels; a proud man who loved boar hunting and falconry. We got along well enough on the road, and I hope it'll work out just as well now that he rules the family.

Not at all what I was expecting of the Valardin Prince. He seems earnest, especially in his desire to embrace even the newest members of the Compact. It remains to be seen if what I have observed so far is indeed the truth, but I am willing to take the time needed to be certain.

The Prince of Sanctum. High Lord Valardin. And rather swiftly becoming one of my favorite sparing companions and conversation companions.
We shared a spar this afternoon that could have lasted for hours if exhaustion hadn't caught up to us. Each blow parried or matched. Ferocity, in all of its passion, kept us on our toes as we traded blows. It was a beautiful thing. Respectable.
