Relationship Note on Jennyva

Lady Jennyva Shepherd. The Diplomat of Graypeak and our Minister of Concerns. Really, she's another valued part of the House. She makes sure that everything's going fine. She also does a lot. She should slow down - but she wouldn't listen to me even if I asked.

Relationship Note on Wyatt

Lord Wyatt Shepherd. Cousin. Maybe my ninth cousin, eh, I'm still not too sure. He's the Voice of Graypeak and our Minister of Coin. He also really likes to write about a variety of intensely intellectual subjects that go right over my head. That's fine. Even if it makes me want to drink to forget everything I've learned about livestock trading.

Spent an evening with the Blackrams, invited over for dinner. What a great family, made me feel right at home. Good food, good company, good drinks.

I was looking forward to being in a snow sculpter competition. Show you southerners how it's done. Oh well, perhaps next time.

Relationship Note on Silas

How dare you, my child is a -delight-. She sleeps and coos and she has the most beautiful black curls.


If you were talking about -me-, good luck with that. Also I'll be coming by to terrify your whole barracks with cake or something.

Relationship Note on Belladonna

There is no other under whose command I would ride so willingly into a tickle battle. Slew the opposition we did. This side of the Hall of Tutelage is ours!

Relationship Note on Rinel

I have been continuing my lessons with Scholar Rinel (the loveliest of the scholars). She has displayed amazing acumen as an instructor. She has a lot of patience and is always poised. (Your experiences may vary)

Relationship Note on Fiora

So my cousin, or 'distant cousin' as she prefers to be called has returned to Arx. This is an interesting and welcome development. I've seen her in action with the bow and am mightily impressed by her skill. No wonder she is our archer commander. I must coordinate with her some sort of training exercise to see if we can maximise the effectiveness of archers in sea battles.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I am pleased to report that my finger bones have entirely recovered from the trauma they suffered while I aided one of my oldest friends in welcoming her ferocious daughter, Ianthe Myrinda, into the world. Ianthe M is every bit as fierce as her mother and as her namesake and I am certain she is blessed with a soul that either has or could wrestle wild tigers into submission with her bare hands.

Well, I reckon my name's in the running for the Commoner's Council, too. Been seeing a few folks I know saying they're running to. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

I reckon I've been fighting to protect the Boroughs for a long time now, especially the Lowers. I've lived there all my life and there's still an awful lot of folks down there that are forgotten and need help. This would just be a new way of doing that.

Gotta admit that I hadn't really thought about doing it. I'm no politician, but I've had a few ask. So I'll give it a go if folks want me to do it. At the very least, I'm real happy to see it happening and I hope it helps. Good luck to all those trying for it!

Ahh, the things people come up with to entertain themselves when the weather is cold and the driving snow is unrelenting. I have to give the greatest of praises to Princess Katarina Valardin and her social games that she has been testing! Not only are they fun, but they are learning experiences as well. The social implications and the diplomatic overtures involved in both games, as well as the need for keen creativity in finding resolutions, make them stimulating as well as enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more of these games in the future!

This has been a very busy, and rewarding, week. I hope to make a special announcement during today's Journal Day Feast, and I think it will be well-received. There are so many projects that I have my hands in, I'm not sure how I find the time to manage them all! But I have to admit, I've never felt more fulfilled in my entire life.

I am most proud of both Kaia and Neilda in regards to their combat training. Kaia quickly picked up the necessary skills to hold and swing a sword with competence and Neilda both demonstrated continued improvements in her skills as well as passing on further ones to Kaia. Well done to both of them.

It has been sometime since I've hosted a dinner. I think I needed this, to be surrounded by the people I love or care for the most and just have an evening of unmitigated fun. Plots were hashed, and there was much wine. My darling cousin Yelana has also made her way back to Arx. Count Duarte brought with him tales of bovine antics. Duchess Grazia brought her little heir to be introduced, a darling that one. Baroness Lucita is always a delight to host, as well as my cousin Lady Ennettia. Lady Miranda made a brief appearance. Princess Alarissa brought with her knowledge of coming events, and her ability to brainstorm other things we could do. I believe the idea we came up with will be quite the delight, and much desired in the winter cold.

It was a wonderful evening spent in the cozy seats by the fire. I truly should have more like them.

I threw my hat in on the commoner council. Why the hell not? I care about the Lowers, even more so now than before. Arx is my home city now, my base of operations. I grew up in the Lowers and I don't see myself moving away from there anytime soon.

The Lowers is a part of Arx and it's not going anywhere either. It should be raised up and prosper and that goal should be at the forefront of the city's goals.

I am absolutely delighted to see that Lady Fiora has resurfaced once more. I have missed the steadiness of her quiet company. I look forward to delving into secrets and adventuring with her in the future.
