The only thing I will say on the matter of the Abandoned is this: I have gone out and spoken with more than a few tribes, and they were wary, but welcoming. They lived differently than we do, but the ones I've been in contact with were more terrified than anything.

But I also know how very many people of the Compact have been killed by Abandoned, and how many tribes are simply terrifying and in league with our enemies. Even the ones that I've spoken with have raided the Compact before.

Humans are complex. It is part of Skald's gift to us. But at the very least, let's not fuck with the Teindpayers, hm?

Relationship Note on Jeffeth

Thank you, my fellow Knight of Solace, for making sure I was well armored for the Lodge defense. I am very sure this actually saved me from what would have probably been an unfortunate end. I will never forget what you did for me.

Relationship Note on Valerius

So my baby brother has finally gotten betrothed. I look forward to having him closer to me, in the same ward once more. I can not really express how much I have missed him, how much I have missed all my siblings with everything going on. While I can never again be my brother's protector as Leona and I once were I am still very much willing to make lives miserable on his behalf should they mistreat him.

Relationship Note on Irisa

On the subject of things I'm proud of, I shall take a moment to put down my affection for my fellow knight, my comrade-in-arms in Riven, and my dear friend, Irisa Wainryte. All accounts of her conduct in the fight to preserve the Lodge of Petrichor tell nothing less than a proper display of honor and bravery, and it is her steadfast service to our people that made me comfortable in taking my leave to pursue contemplation of my Faith, for I know she shall protect the folk of Riven with her blood and life. She's come so far from the girl she was once, and she shall ever remain dear to my heart.

Relationship Note on Josephine

A sizable order was placed for signets. Time to delivery lasted a reasonable amount of time. The work itself was beyond adequate. Josephine Arcuri is an industrious individual and has a family to aid in supporting. Funds well spent on an important household project.

I'll need to have a gift basket sent to her or some such.

You've jinxed it. Now it'll be a boy. If that's the case I'm naming him after you.

Relationship Note on Belladonna

Duchess Pravus has become an ongoing benefactor to the Isles Canines, marking the beginning of what I believe will be a formidable alliance. Naturally, the Pravus have many concerns with pirates, and though their fleets are also substansial, we shall collectively make the waters surrounding Setarco a quite inhospitable place for the enemies of the Compact.

The twins that I hired on left all of a sudden. Honestly, I wasn't even surprised -- nor disappointed to see them _go_ -- they were too quiet, too eerie. One of them left behind some code message that essentially broke down to: "We went North. Back to family farm." Which is all well and good by me. It's not all been bad either. When I told Cypriano, that slouch, that I was thinking about sending HIM away to a nice family farm -- he started improving. Coral says it's because of something that I MAY have implied, but. I meant what I said. It's not MY fault if he chose to interpret it the wrong way.

Once, you know, I wasn't awful with a bow. Now? Can't even hit the broad side of a wooden wall with a large target painted on it saying: "FIRE ARROW HERE."

That's not necessarily bad thing.

But, maybe I need a hobby.

I have learned that I have a strong dislike for large gatherings. The ball was so wonderful, but I find myself awkward and have little connections such as the ones others in my Family have.

Add to that that I am a Wall tree instead of a wallflower due to my bulk and it is well, a bit overwhelming. I think I need to have some lessons in Courtly gatherings. Funny, I know since I am a Lord, but still. Grazia handles all that sort of thing.

Relationship Note on Josephine

If one's status in society was determined by the quality of craftsmanship and passion one had for their profession, she would be far above my station. I am humbled by dedication to her craft.

It's a strange feeling, having your eyes opened to some of the truths of the world. Whenever I think about it too much, it's almost dizzying. Those truths, though, mean nothing but opportunity.

For now, I have the shop and some good friends to keep me firmly grounded. There's a lot of really exciting projects in the works, as well, that I can't wait to see the results of. Some of them might even make it into the shop!

A fun time at the ball last night - I got to catch up with Princess Donella and Prince Victus. Who apparently has exciting plans I will enjoy. And the night before that i got to spend some time with Amari. All in all, a good few days.

I have also finally put out word for those who might be interested in engaging in ranging within Thrax, tending to our forests and learning skills suited to forestcraft. With Harlan injured, Killian and Aislin gone, and now Sir Jordan too.....it is something I will have to do without some of the advice I might have used.

Each day, each year, I feel more Thrax. I worry at some point it will be as though my time at Ashford never happened - I just stepped through some foggy doorway aged 6, and emerged in Arx a grown man. But, perhaps I over worry.

My nails are bitten somewhat bloody, the ink supplies run out, and the callouses gone soft these past few weeks hardened right back up. My skin is chafed and chapped from the cold. These boots are a blessing, and I once again silently thank Lady Monique for enabling me to enjoy the winter better than I have.

Stacks of books completed are set to the side. Countless folios copied await attention and indexed.

Now I think it's time to go on an adventure.

I'm not trying to shame anyone for what they like to do in private... or public. Or privately public? Whatever. But pick up your gods damned underwear afterwards. That is so unsanitary

I think that every Knight dreams of riding into battle with the thunder of hooves and fellows at his side. We truly need to find you a proper steed, Toste. We'll make a day of it!

Relationship Note on Artur

After a long discussion with you, I put some things together. In case you don't know it, Artur, you are an incredible inspiration. I'm moved to be a better Knight and a better Lord. I suppose when you spend a majority of your time with Princes and Princesses, some of that wisdom and experience is bound to take hold.

Thank you, Artur.

Horse? Check. Knotty is a fine steed.

Proper Armor for a light cavalry type night? Check. Apollo did right by me for sure. Artur is in full agreement. A very good find.

Proper weapon for the part? Check. Rubicund, embellished. Beautiful.

Looking the part is half the struggle.

Yes of course you amble with great dignity.

Either or, I can not wait to meet that little girl.
