When I arrived in Arx, I was uncertain as how to feel about Lady Vanora, Valdemar's new bride. She comes from a place so different from the Mourning Isles. From what I have seen, however, she is warm and generous and has done what she could to ensure that I felt comfortable with my move here. I am very grateful for that.

I find myself with so much to do and with very little idea on where to begin. I'm sure that some time spent reading at the Academy will help set my mind at ease.

I'm finding that my current clothing is a little worn and ragged, at least by the standards of those in the city here now that I have arrived. I suppose I shall have to head to the market soon and find a tailor that can craft suitable fashions for a Lord of Grimhall, something leather, I think, and black. Perhaps a quilted tunic to add to it, with winter coming on.

Arx is as I've remembered it from when I was last here, studying Economics. It's large. It's vibrant. There certainly is a lot to get used to, but I know that in the end, it will be all worth it.

I met two Thraxian Princesses at The Grotto last night, both of them advocating Thraxian women being allowed to take up arms, both having done so!
One of them even boasted about going to war while pregnant, I cannot think of anything more reckless, risking one's own child just to fulfill some sort of blood lust?
Fight because you have to, not because you want to.

I had only just arrived in the city when my sister Ingrid hauled me off to the Explorer's society to meet the so called Pathfinder in charge of the group. I admit the idea of joining does appeal to the explorer in me, and I think I have much to offer to the society, so perhaps I shall look into taking the test in the near future to join their ranks.

Lips of blue
turning blush the shade of sky

As people ran the Gauntlet today, there were some who came away injured, and some who breezed through it easily. It's not uncommon to see that spectrum of ability. But it lifts my spirits each time, to see those who struggle, try anyway. It shows their spirit and their mettle, and that they are not afraid to do something that isn't within their current strength. That is something we should all strive to do, to broaden our horizons.
Plus, if the Gauntlet ever appears to be too easy, the sadists who designed it (looking at you, Ansel!) will only make it harder.

My thoughts are heavy, restless things.
While I can't speak to all the wills in the whites recently, Calaudrin Estardes, he who is my husband, updated his because he sailed out with many others on the grand ship Carlotta, to parts unknown and strange. I wish I could've gone with him, but duty holds me to this city right now. I pray that Gloria grants courage to him and his companions, so that they may protect each other and come home soon. He goes with a knighthood, a title I’ve always carried mixed feelings on the politics of (including about my own), but he's as honorable and deserving a man as can wear it. Maybe it will strengthen his heart on this journey.
My House faces many dangers of which I must be watchful as Sword and knight. Riven has ever been both my blood and heart, for it is what remains of the Greenwoods. I'll love it always, but I confess the heaviness now, as other parts of my life begin to change and shift. We shall see what is to come. I’ll stay the course for now and serve as I must, and pray to Gloria and Limerance for guidance on what the road ahead may look like.
It is in the Templars I find pure solace and joy more and more of late, I'll confess. Sir Preston has honored me with the title of Champion of Gloria, and appointed me a disciple leader. It is also an important duty, but in a way that lifts my heart and makes me feel stronger and more fully myself. I hope I can uphold it in a way that furthers the Sword of the Faith in this time of rebuilding. The work makes me think on many things in my life, on roads not taken. They are not regrets, for I’d have no life but my own, but reminders that I am not rooted to the ground like a tree. My blood is of the rivers, flowing along a course to different places. But Gloria has always been a compass in it, a guide when I am lost, and She remains so to me now. I’ll see to finding new ways to give that compass to others, so well as I can.

I understand there may be some confusion and perhaps a modicum of concern when one notices the House of Solace's new duck companion wandering about.
I assure the populace that I have personally vetted this creature and it is fully hygienically sensible for a place of healing. You need not fear anything save for perhaps the tips of your fingers. I have not yet found what his favored diet entails and he is prone to nibble when upset. Until then, please ensure you give Jimbo I the space they need to sort out their emotional trauma.

These journals are giving me so many mixed signals. He's your *good* friend or your good friend? *Good* friend implies a certain extra special 'friendliness' that you seem to be trying to dispute. Please make your drama a little easier to follow! The plot twists are getting a little too twisty. That's a thing!
