My daughter, Nia, had the funniest reaction to seeing her twin baby brothers. She pointed at them and said, "Bye!" As if to say that I should remove these little beings from her life immediately. When I made it clear that babies are staying, she pouted and then insisted in joining us on the bed. She looked at both of them as I told her that she had two little ones to watch out for. Nia crossed her arms and told me, "No!"
So if any parents have any suggestions on how to get my stubborn minx to accept her brothers into the fold, I would appreciate it.

What would the Legate of Concepts do
If he were here right now
He's make a decision
Based on the tenets of Faith
That's what the Legate of Concepts do.
When matters of scripture need interpreting
The Legate is always there.
To make sure humanity doesn't stray
To darkness and despair.
When the Dominus of the Faith needs advice
The Legate is at his side.
No worries about the day-to-day prayers.
The Faithful come prepared.
So what would the Legate of Concepts do
If he were here today
I'm sure he'd kick some blasphemy or two
Cause that's what Legate of Concepts do.
<<After a few chuckles, Marian lets the Scholars that they should open the floor for other wordsmiths to add to the song that the Legate of Concepts asked for.>>

I've never asked for silver for training others in warfare and combat. For me, teaching the way of the Sword is just my way of honoring Gloria. It allows me to show the next generation the hard won wisdom I've gained. Hopefully, mitigate mistakes I had to learn the hard way. From commoner to princes, I've never restricted my training based on birth or circumstance. If you want to serve the Crown and Compact with honor. I will show you the way.
My only regret is that I don't have enough time to teach more. Once I get back on my feet, I encourage any to approach me in the training center. I'll be happy to train you, if my schedule allows. Please know, I don't do appointments. It's strictly on a first come, first serve basis.

I would urge anyone that foolishly brought tainted material from Stormwall's battlefield back to Arx as trophies to turn them into the The Inquisition, the Physicians' Guild, the Knights of Solace or the Knights of the Temple. These shards and chunks of light absorbent black glass are poisonous waste left behind by one of the Gyre's weapons. It makes no sense to keep them when doing so endangers our people.
There will be no repercussions for those individuals cooperating with Master of Questions, Prince Laric Grayson's order. However, if you are found hiding this contraband in the Redrain Ward, there will not just be consequences from the Crown.

He's grown so much from the last time I saw him. It's good seeing how he's stepping up to help the family. I look forward to sparring with him once my babies are born, and my body has recovered.

I have many stories that I could tell of my sister. However, I do love her too much to air such things in the whites. However, the next time we sit down, remind me to tell you of her more wicked activities when we were growing up.

My dear sister, it is interesting how you are rewriting history to suit your own purposes. I do distinctly remember making my way down to the river where a commander of the Valardin knights was bathing. While I did not know his name, let's for purposes of this narrative use Sir Davin. It was not to stare upon his person rather to gain an advantage. However, my rather vexing sister decided to make noise and spoil my trap. I remember your punishment as a result of putting me in danger. Now, I do not now or later will confirm that his state of dress affected the color of my cheeks. Clearly, I will deny such a thing even as my sister insists that I did. However, I will point out that my telling is much more believable for those that know me.
May the scholar please note this event occurred before Greenmarch joined the Compact. No Valardin knights were injured by my hand during the activities of this tale. A few of the rocks my sister threw into the river may or may not have hit said knight.

Shard is absolutely correct. You should be selecting your team based on the areas that you're traveling. I speak Northlands and Oathlands shav so while I'd be an excellent companion for visiting the Abandoned tribes in those locations, I wouldn't be able to communicate with those in other regions.

I hope everyone had fun at the Festivals of Colors. I certainly had fun co-hosting it with Archlector Wylla. Even though I tried very hard not to get my whites colored, Prince Luca was 'kind' enough to hug me after it was all over. I certainly hope in the coming year that the Northlands Development Council can co-sponsor more fun events like this one.
Special thanks goes out to Valery and all the other alchemists that assisted in creating these wonderful powdered eggs. Without your efforts, the event would not have been possible. We were able to raise a sizable donation for the Soup Kitchen.

Just like beauty, humor is in the eye of the beholder. And Master Magpie may not always have politically correct humor but he is a man not to be underestimated or discounted.
Consider your words before attacking another. Discuss your vehement dislike of a prank but avoid insulting a man until you visit his home and break bread with him.

It's not weird, it's harassment. May I suggest the following:
1) Tell him under no uncertain terms that you are not interested.
2) Slap him across the face if he persists in a public fashion.
3) A well timed dagger in a sensitive place.
Worst case scream like a damsel in distress and get a few men to beat him senseless.
