The Southern-leaning taverns are absolutely INSUFFERABLE today, and doing business with my Lycene contacts isn't exactly a barrel of laughs, either. Or, well, I guess it is. For THEM. Doesn't matter that I'm now sworn to the Crown, I've gotten asked five times today if oathbreaking is the new Oathlands fashion. Whoever one supports in this mess, it's still a serious matter of honor! Laughing is not appropriate.
And don't think I don't see you making those jokes about coveting other people's 'swords', too. I SEE YOU AND IT'S NOT AS FUNNY AS YOU THINK IT IS.

Drunkedness: An even level, meaning, I have been consistently drunk most evenings.
Robbed: Not at all! And I even spent a night in the Lowers winning money in a card game but nobody robbed me on the way out even if I was drunk. I feel faintly insulted that nobody even tried.
Losing clothes: Apart from a button on my new coat, all clothes still on my body. The button was given to a being of pure light, so that's fine.
Business: Sold our wares, made money, immediately spent it most on a coat. Need to find more work now. Crew is paid and happy to have some time off.
Trouble: The being of pure light is trouble. Maybe best if I stay away.

Wilhelm, I need you to collect more information on the man who made himself sick drinking that paint. I'm trying to figure out if he was trying to hurt himself or legitimately so daft as to think it was something else, and if the first, get him in proper care. Unsuprpisingly, we need to order more blue paint. I had to include a lake and some streams in a map this morning and dilluted the remaining paint so much to make it last they ended up looking purple.

Relationship Note on Bliss
In no way are Whispers required to forgo the defense of themselves or their own honor for the sake of impartiality. Such practice would be a recipe for victimization that I could not in good conscience uphold.
Bliss has most certainly cast this house of courtiers into an unflattering light, but she has previously done a great deal pulling it up out of stagnation and back into relevancy with that very same unorthodox approach. As the situation stands currently, I have no intention of calling for Bliss's resignation as Softest nor shall I invite her to leave our esteemed order.

Relationship Note on Cassandra
I was very impressed with this grand melee like I never have never been with a grand melee before, for how honorable it was. Everyone yielded before they were near death, which I think is the honorable thing to do and nobody was dog piled the way I have sometimes seen in the past. I credit much of this with those fighting who were honorable and very skilled, but also with Legate's Cassandra's leadership of such.
Often I will give away prizes when I win, because I have so much, but I plan to wear this ring with pride.
Let Gloria be with us in the coming battles and my thanks goes out to Legate Cassandra for leading us in celebrations of Gloria before the battles.

Relationship Note on Jyri
For clarity to Vellichor, I had the honor of taking Guard Jyri Tersk through some paces in the honing of athleticism. And I got to meet his dogs! They were lovely and made me want another pet, though I think we'd do better with a cat. They're supposed to be lucky, and good at catching rodents, which is always handy in the Lowers.

It is with both great pride and heartache that I bring this to the attention of the citizenry of Arx. Though many and most of you do not know me, I am a man of many talents. The least of which is not dueling. Since entering this hive of gossip, accusations, and frivolity I have won a number of things in wagers. ALL have been paid up with haste except the house swords I have been promised. The wagers are made with swagger and bravado and much nose pointing at the sky and yet......After the win there is only excuses and promises of payments.
THIS IS NOTICE YE HOUSES THAT KNOW WHO YOU ARE! Send me what is mine or I will continue to cry!
Unlike the woman whom I can't seem to hear very well, I am generous and understanding. I will happily accept an actual boat loaded with Silver at the collective houses' convenience. Except Faruq! From Faruq I will accept only the sword or the most winning of apologies. Seriously, it better be fucking good.
Taking Everything,

My thanks go to Princess Coraline and the Order of East Light, to House Pravus and our beloved Duchess, who has returned to us, for lending her most able Sword. To the Baroness Blackshore and her sublime Lady Iseulet, who is like blood of our own here in Ischia, we are grateful. For the Lady Miranda and the Duchess Grazia for her cooperation and support of this campaign. To the people of House Seraceni for giving us the strength, tenacity, privilege, and power to make this possibility a reality. Finally, to the Siren of Redwater Cove for the challenge and opportunity to show Gloria our mettle, our honor and our strength.
We will succeed at any cost but none of us believe the cost is too high for freedom and justice. For the morality of the Houses, organizations, and supportive people who continue pouring into Ischian waters with their flotillas, their armies and their courage -- thank you.

As stated this journal entry is a simple thought experimentation on the lessons of the 13th and I like to reflect on these things and admit my failings, I am most certainly not to insinuate anything at all about the Whisper House or it's establishment and anyone who walks away from this particular historical curiosity with anything more has missed the point entirely. I should be educated on this, but I happen not to be and I am okay acknowledging this.

Relationship Note on Arik
If you bet your sister's life before a crowd of people prior to performing a rite to Gloria and lost, and no one attempted to stop you, when you then lost, what is the victor to think? What if they were a foreigner with no knowledge of our customs?
But the example you put forward obfuscates the core of this issue, just as my answer just as easily does the same. We could endlessly debate semantics, but I have no desire to do so, as I believe we are both in accord when it comes to the fact that a wrong was done, one that is intricately bound in matters all members of the Compact hold dear - honor, the validity of ones word, and trust to name a few. To see the matter set right is what everyone hopes for. That the Faith is now mediating the issue shows that both parties understand this, and the seriousness of the regretful event.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
