I spent some time with the lovely Marquessa Reigna and Lady Shae today, discussing matters of etiquette and diplomacy. It was a lot of fun, and Keaton Hall is a very welcoming place.

Relationship Note on Fortunato
An educational wish, to be sure. But you'd have to choose your subject wisely. Not everyone is capable of staring into their greatest fear and coming through unscathed. I'm not sure I could do it! Maybe if I knew my own greatest fear...

I've never been someone's muse before. It's exhilarating, I must say! To be muse for someone with Jayus' blessing, to see what I've inspired take shape and live by simply being. Such a gift.

Relationship Note on Simone
I could not be prouder of my cousin, Marquessa Simone, whom the Faith holds in such high regard. Many believed she sacrificed much to join the Greenmarchers and to bring peace between the Telmarch and the Greenhaven. But the truth is that she has worked since that day in the way I have long known her to: To bring peace, build bridges, and further the gods' virtues on Aion. Time and again, she has given of her personal time and resources to further good works on behalf of the Faith.
Marquessa Simone is thus proof that one need not be a disciple or godsworn to do right by the gods. Each of us can venerate them in our works and ways in our lives. The favor she has received is well-earned and well-deserved. But most of all, I know she did it and would do it again, even if no rise in her esteem was her reward.

Relationship Note on Vanora
I am blessed that my father had the foresight to suggest the match with my wife, and the tenacity to see the arrangement through. Without Vanora at my side, the recent loss and turmoil would have been much more difficult to bear. I'd have found a way to press on, but she has been just what house Grimhall, and I, needed in troubled times, easing our way forward. I have no regrets my dear, and I know that you will continue to support me and our family, as we will you.

When I interview potential proteges, I let them know that I am more than likely to drag them off on adventure. It's my promise for anyone that I decide to be patron to. Jordan took that to heart. It was his dream that we go to see Whitepeak, and it was one that I wholeheartedly encouraged. Together, we spent hours upon hours researching the mythical mountain, and then right before we needed to take action for the Lodge, we found the final piece we needed to make our inaugural trip to discover the long forgotten mountain.
He died saving Duke Harlan's life during the Lodge crisis. And, though he is gone, his dream is still quite alive. I've spent the better part of the last month talking to people, gauging interest and their credentials, and now I have a team of would be adventurers. This team includes my husband Mason, Lady Delilah Whitehawk, Sir Jeffeth Bayweather, and my protégé Lord Eddard Clement. (Though I really, truly, sincerely hope that Eddard leaves me out of any songs he writes for the Bardic College for this adventure.)
What started as a trip between a patron and a protege will now be a journey to honor Sir Jordan Ober and all the work he's put into seeing this through. I cannot know if we will be successful in discovering the path to the fabled mountain, but we will give it our very best in trying. Now, we need to spend the next few weeks gathering together the supplies and other items that we'll need to make this journey as successful as possible.

He sent me a pair of earrings today. The very idea that he is thinking of me makes me smile and distracts me from the building of lists of medicine that need to be change to taste better. The list is coming along but I fear I still have months of work.

I had a better time than expected at the archery display (and lessons) put on by Duke Aiden. Thankfully, I did not make a fool of myself for what little skill I have and he was gracious in providing insight on where I can improve and where my stance and draw was lacking. I was even able, with his guidance, to make a bullseye on the nearest of the targets setup for the occasion!
Really, it would have been a grand time if not for the fool who showed up and opted to fling a spear at one of the targets, destroying it.
What possesses someone to do such a thing?

It has been a time for learning and gaining knowledge.
My dear cousin Michael has taught me more about the arts of leadership; I hope to one day be as good as him. We spoke of what skills I hoped to hone and develop; and among them archery was mentioned.
He arranged for me to meet with our Rubino cousin Aiden; so I could learn, from him, and give birth to my path as a future Bisland archer.
It was so exciting! I even managed to get a BULLSEYE!!!

Relationship Note on Eleanor
With the Hundred now temporarily down to Ninety-Nine, the search for the next Silver Sword begins. Already, I have received letters from this commander or that, saying that I "might want to take a look at" some knight or soldier. Tales of heroism from Setarco, Stormwall, and the Lodge are mentioned. Some, no doubt, are exaggerated. Others are truthful. But the King's Own is not just about deeds, but also character and determination.
We face much. Those who stand with us must be ready for any danger.
The Lord Commander and I have our work cut out for us.
