The doors shut tight, the hearthfire's roar
Within the quiet of a happy home.
They settle to sleep, young ones snore,
Ghosts of children gone no longer roam.
A father, dutiful and grim,
No longer lets in that pain.
One year, one son, one daughter, no hymn
The losses will come again
These men born to seek the 'good death'
To fall in battle brave and in their prime.
To outlive one's children, to see a last breath,
It is to lose the very game of time.
Dirge of the Happy Home. V. Grimhall 9/24/1009

I think I'm supposed to feel excitement or happiness, what I feel is a tightening of anxiety in my chest. My father used to tell me, "That's responsibility, son. Get used to it."
I don't know if you're supposed to get used to it, but he was always such a solid man. He seemed like a rock to me, even being as old as he was at the end. I don't think I could have ever figured out if he was acclimated to all of his responsibility or just good at faking his way through the worry.
I hope that I can do right by House Valardin, House Laurent and all of the rest of the Oathlands. The Laurents have stood as your protectors since the time the house first came to be and I'll try not to tarnish the good record of our people.
Even if it means I have to go to the High Lord's meetings.

A huge thank you to Thrax for donating the won ship to East Light, it has now become the flagship for the Order and a very fine ship she is too.
Speaking of which, she really needs a name. Perhaps a contest is in order for the discovery of what she should be called.

It matters not if you may have wilted in another moment or two.
What counts is that he conceded!

I wept at his feet tears of gold.
But still I remained alone.
I gave him all I could hold.
But he was still not flesh and bone.
And he left me cold.

I had heard of the Compact's luxuries through story only. Now that I have experienced it, I could not fathom just how far decadence could truly reach. It's intoxicating to say the least.
