People often make allusions to poetic turns of phrase when faced with unfathomable realities. Poetry is the language of love, of fear, and of death - it gives voice both to epiphanies and to catastrophes. When prosaic speech cannot do justice to reality, the more malleable bounds of the poetic form take over.

Why do people keep trying to send my second in command on errands?

I am heartened by the welcome shown after talking to Lady Arianna about my grandmother's being a Pravus. I should like to spend more time in the Ward of the Lyceum.

I should investigate happenings before assuming.
The only problem is... I dread deeply what happens if my theory is right.
Because I have zero intentions of changing my path. And that could kill me.

Relationship Note on Avary
All of my gratitude to Archlector Avary for organizing Courtkeep this year. Even if it's the most boring festival, it's still important, and I hope it was somewhat exciting this year.

It's certainly going to be a boon to me to have five new magistrates on the court, and I believe a boon to the city as well. I hope they serve Arx well, and if reports are to be believed, some of them already are.

A conversation with a new friend the night previous reminded me of the disparity between my own values and that of everyone else. I spent the remainder of my evening pondering the nature of importance.
Importance is not a natural quality, such as weight or density. There is no measurement one can take to prove something is more important than something else. There are some that say there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so; and while I am reluctant to accept this, for I find such relativism very dangerous, the same might be said of importance, that nothing is important or unimportant, but thinking makes it so.

To war, my banner flys below my Count's. Should dust be as diabolic as I am told, perhaps it is a fit casus belli. I take up the executioner's mantle once again.

As I meet more people around the city who did not have the opportunity to attend my original concert series, I am considering putting on a second one for those who could not make them the first time around. It would be at a different time to try to reach a different audience, because I am amazed at how much interest there seems to be for such things. The first set of concerts were very well attended, but I think a second set might also be well attended just due to different people being interested. I shall have to consider this.

Relationship Note on Madeleine
Madeleine, Archlector of Magnata has helped make me feel closer to the Goddess of the Sea and Sky than I have for a long time. She is a credit to her position and the Goddess and answered some questions I have had for some time. The fact that the answers have given rise to more questions is a moot point.

Relationship Note on Madeleine
Archlector Madeleine and I have known each other for a few years and spent many a day walking along the beach, sitting at the koi pond and talking for hours on end. She has a sense of humor I enjoy, an ease of manner, gentle on the surface yet steel hard in her faith. She is wise and supportive. Friendship has grown and I am thankful for it. Next time I loan her armor, will have to get the leather craftsman to adjust the top to fit a fuller form than mine.

Pierced buttocks?! How did that happen! I sense some hilarious stories.
I'll make a donation to the Physicians in thanks for your good work. I've had reason to benefit from it myself a time or two.
Also, you people that jump off roofs, try to outrun angry bulls or stand up on your horse to see if you can balance while it moves ahead?
Why aren't you inviting me to come watch?!

Potential - that's what I see so much of in this city. Unrefined like a gem that has yet to be cut or polished, wealthy in ways both obvious and hidden, both perceptive in ways that only a half million pairs of eyes can be and yet...
There are many times I find myself wondering how things came to be this way. The answers are there, of course, but it still feels like there is some part missing. Some key element.
Maybe it's part of the nature of humanity. A particular thing which I am blind to. I suppose everyone has their flaws.

It was not my intention to be as stern with the lady as I was. I just had no desire to see her lose her pet. When a bird of prey is hunting, a canary is just a small snack before the meal.

28 cases of wine head,
16 twisted ankles,
9 loosened teeth,
5 black eyes,
4 punctured buttocks,
3 bruised brains,
2 half severed thumbs,
and 1 broken femur.
And a catchy song that echoes far too frequently in my hospital.
If I catch you on the street I'll minor incident you!
...It occurs to me that I should emphasize this is a joke. I intend no harm to Master Arterius.
