Jimbo and I made a song.

It goes:

La la la, my duck and me!

La la la, oh god he bit me.

We're still working on it, actually.

Hm.

Possible warrants for arrest.

I have now enlisted the services of a new clerk to be my trusted courier. I picked up off from the riverside dockyards and blackmai -- hired, right -- him into my employ. Please, if you should see Cypriano delivering a message to you -- please, do NOT bribe him with dried fish jerky. He has a terrible allergy to seafood. Also, I ought to note: please do not flash coin or jewelry in his field of view. He's reaaaaally not THAT trustworthy.

Absent friends and family are on my mind, which should come as no surprise. No use listing them, this space would be one long name-drop. It is funny how they remain active in one's dreams. Especially just before dawn and the wake-up call. The dreams most recently are exceptionally vivid. To be fair, the night before I sat beneath one of the old trees in the garden and had a wine that most Lycene would pay hundreds of silver for, and then some. I may have gotten very, very tipsy before finding myself next to a handsome man I presumed to be of greet breeding and style and flirted outrageously until the sun had almost risen, whereupon I discovered his stoic reserve was due in large part because he was hewn of marble.

Never mind. No one is perfect, and there are worse things than amusing oneself. Like minding other people's business and trying to tell them how to think and live.

The Gold Order held its first Trial of Reflection, and I served as host and subject. Explaining my deeds and how I felt they had served the gods in various ways. Reflecting on what could be done differently - what I had learned of myself.

In the end, it was a good night, with good food and people I am proud to call friends and peers. And I can now proudly wear the ring of the Order, knowing I have earned it.

I look forward to hearing the tales of my knights, and share in their reflections.

I need people to make me look pretty. Some people drink to forget their troubles, and some fight. I think I would like to try shopping!

Been a while since I wrote. In fact I think the last time I was still in the Tragedy. I'm glad to see none of those writings can be found any more, though it's a bit odd. I thought those things were kept forever. Oh well.

Wine and whiskey don't usually go well together in one evening, but I think I was saved by having much less of the former than I did the latter. Proper ratio, that.

I guess I'm writing because it seems like a good time - feels like a new start. I rather liked the notion of being a smith but I think I'll put that idea back into my pocket. I'm still in the field of smashing things into shape, after all.

I hit someone with a chair!

They started it, they deserved it, and they're FINE. I promise. Very hard head on some folks.

It was very exciting, although I have certainly lost some upper body strength with all this city living. Maybe I ought to start practicing my spear forms again, before going out into the wilderness again.

Speaking of, I should go grape hunting, soon. That might be a fun little adventure!

It's been too long since I felt the pull to explore something on my own. Now that I have, I can't get out of the city fast enough. I've started plotting who to bring with me; Mason, of course as he's my husband and we first met when I was out on an expedition, though he'll hate the potential cold we might find, Elloise, for I promised to bring my proteges on grand adventures, and Calaudrin, because I know I can trust him when push comes to shove.

I've posted to the Society of Explorers today that I'm looking to take someone new to expeditions with our group. Mason, Calaudrin, and I are all experienced, and also explorers, but I sometimes feel we neglect our newer members. I will be interviewing for this last candidate.

There is a mountain range to the west that I've passed a number of times, and now I'm itching to finally move along its ridges and through its caves. With all of the ruins I've discovered, nearly 10 or more for every holding I've visited in the compact, I can only imagine the wonders that I shall find there. I expect it might even take more than one trip to explore it all - so never fear, my explorers, you will get your turn. I promise.

It will be nice to be out of the city, working on something that I want to do, for a change. Adventure Awaits!

I do not have the time or patience required to convince someone that something is real or not. If someone comes to me with a problem, I genuinely try to help them with it, with whatever resources I can find. Sometimes, it's easy to help them, sometimes it's more difficult. I do a lot of research, I do even more exploration. You could not begin to imagine some of the things that I have personally seen.

Petrichor's Grove in Black Woods, where the trees still have skeletons on them from where they skewered the enemies with the sharpened spikes of their own still attached branches in aid of Pena Stormryder in the Battle of Blackwoods.

Footprints leading south coming from the far, far north in Everwinter where no human or creature should have be able to live and should have been untouched for millenia because of the extreme cold of that particular region. Those tracks led into a sheer wall of ice in the mountains.

Sharing a cave with large wolves in the Northlands during a dark and stormy night, keeping warm from the cold wet rain - where the wolves didn't attack us, nor we them. We simply shared the cave for an evening, sleeping in a dry, warm place for the night. It was a beautiful, awe inspiring sight.

An Elven Princess marrying my cousin, the King, before all the eyes of those in Arx - with thousands upon thousands of spiders carrying the train of her dress and clapping at the appropriate moments during the wedding. This may not have been an expedition, but it was still quite the sight to witness.

I'm confident enough in my own experiences that I do not need others to believe in them. I've lived them. I believe. People know I'll believe them when they come to me for aid. That's all that matters. My time is better spent on helping those that need aid and are willing to accept it, and helping to keep the Compact safe from those threats we continue to face.

Bested me in the tie breaker.

Thick wool of the scratchiest kind if I have to sail all the known ports in the world to find it! That is when I am able to get out of this locked room Clover has put me in. How does one pick locks.

The work being done on this township around the Shrine to Mangata is to be commended. The dedication and effort being put into this project helps show how close the spirits and Faith are in our lands and how far Halfshav has come.

Relationship Note on Nuala

A friendship in the making, perhaps. Princess Nuala knows much of the whispered secrets and half-told tales from the area I call home, both as Marquis and in my wandering days before it. A land of mystery, of beautiful and forbidding terrain. Our interests overlap, our knowledge intersects. A fellow explorer, this one I shall call friend sooner rather than later.

I am more than pleased that the escalation between Princess Marian and the Duke and Duchess Crovane came to an end with the assistance of Juniper Whisper. It seems that while a Rite to Gloria was not done, much honor and humility shall be paid to the Faith, as is right and proper, by the Crovanes.

Let us hope this is the last we'll hear of the matter, and that Princess Marian, devoted to Gloria and the rest of the Gods, has found satisfaction in the terms worked out.

Let this be a lesson that while some in the Compact may not practice the Faith, not a single one are outside of it.
