Duke Asger was a good friend and an astute businessman. The compact is made poorer by his loss.

Scholar Jonathan Grimkin can go throw himself off of sovereign bridge in protest for all I care. Thralldom is an evil insitution and a blight on the soul of The Compact. It is slavery, and we have ignored that fact for too long.

Princess Saoirse has conjured a miracle. She deserves only the highest praise for her accomplishments.

Arrived in Arx just a few days ago and it's nice to be here; nicer than I expected, really. Somehow I've been fortunate enough to meet a number of worthwhile people, some of them of rank and standing, some of them simply interesting. One of them a princess! And of House Grayson, no less. I don't know what I've done for Fortune to suddenly smile on me so, but I'm assuming it's only setting me up for a really crushing disaster later on. That would be just like it. Lady Luck and I haven't ever exactly been fast friends, and far be it from me to trust her enough now to believe she's not going to follow up her smiling with a good stab in the back when I least expect it.

But in any case, from what I can gather it doesn't seem that Arx is simply awash in luthiers, and the people I've met have taken an interest in my craft, so perhaps there really is some hope for me here after all. That would be a first, wouldn't it?

Oh the drawing of autumn upon us as made me rue not bringing more cloaks and coats with me to the City. I perhaps was not planning, at the start, to stay for so long in the City when I first packed and game - but the fine friends, and more, that I have found do more than keep me here. They have me not wish to leave.

It has been a wonderful first couple weeks after getting married. We might not have made it out to as many social gatherings as perhaps we ought to have, but it has been and will continue to be a period of adjustment for us. I expect there will be times like these, indeed. It is nice to have so much going on, it distracts me from other things.

Which reminds me, there are friends I have not seen in far too long. I should do something about that.

Relationship Note on Kaya

Stop telling people we're related, or you're cleaning the barracks with the smallest brush I can find.

You know, it's a waiting game now that the Compact has turned away the envoys, then the quiet. I always hated the quiet as a boy. Reminds of the night Tydehall was sacked, it was quiet then too. I suppose in battle i am always restless before the coming conflict that unease in my stomach that churns, and churns, reminding me of back when I was just a boy. Powerless to stop anyone from getting cut down on that damn night. Having to be saved, that always gets me even though I acknowledge it shouldn't.

I wonder when shit starts being served, how long will I last? I'm not a young man by any actual stretch anymore. I am well aware of the fact of my days being a simple sellsword are numbered. A man only gets so many fights in him and going past my limits always carries a consequence that toils heavier now then when I was a lad. Well, we will see.

There are times when I am looking in the mirror and all I see are the broken pieces. I don’t recognize the person looking back at me. Self-doubt rings in my ears as I wash my face hoping the next time I can recognize myself. I am enough I tell myself as I put on the face I show the world.

Do you ever feel like darkness consumes you and the more you struggle the deeper you sink till you start too loose yourself. It gets so suffocating you want to give in, losing hope that you will see the light again. So you close your eyes and try to quiet your mind. You focus on whatever pieces of light you can still hold onto as the sinking feeling of darkness closing in comes to claim your mind?

Little boy, I see you sitting there in the darkness. It's ok, take my hand. You don't have to understand. Let me guide you to where the light is. Don't be scared, I won't let you fall. Take my hand and we will go there. Far away from the monsters. They can't touch you, where we are going. So hold my hand and don't let go.

When you think of ending it all, Remember you made a mark, A ripple no matter how small...It had an effect. So when you think your existence, Did not matter at all...You should know you matter, More then you will ever know

Relationship Note on Josephine

Never have I seen something so regal. Indeed, it puts anything I have ever worn on my head to shame, and I have worn Triscali's crown, so that is saying something. I am spoiled beyond belief, and grateful beyond measure. I do not know that any other birthday present will top this one, and none could top your friendship.

Relationship Note on Rysen

It was interesting to meet Lord Rysen. He seems to like poetry and appreciates music. Lady Peri and I spent some time shopping and we wound up there looking for ale or mead for some friends from the north who like that better than wine. Didn't find quite what we wanted but it was still a worthwhile, time well spent. He has listened to me play and sing and asked if interested in playing for him to recite his poetry some time. I may just do that if the poem fits some of the music I know.

A whole day without turmoil. That is a rare thing to have had. Makes me wonder if trouble is just holding back and gathering up momentum for a really hard punch.

What's that old saying? Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

I guess one should be well aware who is a friend first.

Ah, how good it is to be back in Arx! Wherever I roam, I'll always miss my family, I think.

If anyone wants to have a good hard think about unity, think about all those tribes we’ve encountered that thought and acted in unison.

Great lost with the death of Lady Tessa. There is no reason one should be attacked by wolves while having a picnic, there has to be some dialog about conservation efforts that include the culling of these wolves. We need this for our safety and for the sustainability of our domains.
