Relationship Note on Thena
In advance of my standing around and looking pretty, I request that all send me the nicknames they've used for our dear Thena. You can make up some too! Think of it as an exercise of creativity that I am sure Jayus will look fondly upon.

Don't listen to her, she's secretly pleased and is looking forward to hearing it said by any and all.

Thena parade, everyone. Thena parade. Don't ask why, or how, just add it to the ever growing list of assorted nicknames our favourite Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace collects!

Relationship Note on Thena
Once again, I find myself commending the actions of Dame Thena Grayhope -- now Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace -- though not for her elevation to such a station. Nor is it for her bravery on the battlefield.
No, it is for the simple act of tending the wounded, which was how I came to know her a year ago, as I watched her tend my husband. And now she has tended me. Were it not for her, I doubt I would have returned from Stormwall.
Riven will not forget the debts it owes.

I've seen Thena Grayhope take on the vows of knight and godsworn with as much strength and dedication as any woman in Arvum. I've no doubt she'll shoulder the duties of Grandmaster of the Solace with honor. More than that, I'm proud to call her my friend.

Thank you for your perspective. I was simply referring to all things I have seen in the whites as of late. It was simply a perspective of all the back and forth I have seen.

Relationship Note on Thena
In times past, when the future Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace and the Knight Marshall of the Templars stood and said 'This man fought with honour' it would have been the end of such a matter. I wonder at the change in society that now means this is not the case, but more that people argue with the future Grandmaster on the point like she is some opining milk sop who has not ever lifted a sword or commanded people in battle. Brother Driskell would, I am sure, say this is a great celebration of Tehom as the questioner. I cannot say I care for it.
I tease and taunt my dear Little Sister as much as any, because she is a great warrior and a fine commander, and it would be easy without obstinant asses like myself for her to lose her humility and be thus distanced from the Gods for thinking herself closer to them. What I do not do is question her judgement, as a Sworn Knight and as a leader of the Faith, quite so directly. Her judgement has been better than most, and her companionship within the Faith drives each of us to be better. Which is not to say after contemplation I always agree with her, or reach the same conclusions, but she forces us to think and in so doing be more sure of our actions or to reconsider those we cannot justify, and so do better.

Nor am I seeing why it matters to you, either, but there it is.
Are the journals of Vellichor only for some people to write their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and accounts of their daily lives in?
More seriously, my concern is that reacting with emotion does not aid anyone's case. Given that the debate is about something I do not believe anyone would not consider a grave matter, I found that it wounded the defense to essentially shout down another because the way in which he questioned things did not contain the supposed correct quantity of respect.

It would probably get me in trouble if I were to call you a silk. Can I just call you good to have on our side in times of trouble?
Gotohoositot for short?
No, no big letters today scholar. They will come back, though. It's not okay yet, but it will be okay again for many of us. And we just have to help the people it won't be okay for for a while.

But you aren't a noble. Nor did I name you, specifically. In fact, your journals do not read quite so emotionally as another's. Looking at yours again, I see you write "I can only say what I saw..." So there's that.
I could accuse you of being a Godsworn attack dog for nobles too afraid to sully their own public image, though. Note, could.
I am not, nor do I believe it.
It would be hilarious though if a third-party then started to question the validity of such an accusation, and ask that factual evidence be provided so as to stop the unsavory members of our society from dragging another person's name through the mud, only for yet another person or persons to jump in and start muddying the waters further.
Mood lightened, yet?

I guess the question to ask then, Thena, is whether His Highness' actions were warranted to the extent that he left command (which Marquis Acheron assures us they were), and whether, indeed, those actions were necessary. What required impact did he make? That, I think, is the fulcrum on which this matter can be rested. If indeed he did not make an impact that any others would not have made, then I must ask whether his actions were really the best course and the best usage of his abilities.
Let's get a factual account of the whole of the matter and see whether his role was critical to the extent that others could not have done the same. That's all I ask.

....you named your warhorse 'Cuddles'? I guess we should be thankful you normally run naming competitions for the boats you seem to like (All that wood could make a fine trebuchet, you know). Or our enemies would be sitting in fear of you on the prow of your new galley 'Floaty' and its sister ship 'Snuggles The Wondership'.
