Relationship Note on Ariella
I have noted a considerable lack of Cullen Greenmarch on that roster. Surely an oversight. I distinctly remember you not saying I would be...whatever second in command of a boat happens to be. However, I shall bring a lot of rum.

The surprise shower for Princess Sorrel was fun. I was surprised to win the game that was played, though I am certain it is only because it was a doll's nappy being changed. Had it been a real child, I would have had completely different results! And considering that was some time ago, it is obvious I have not been updating my journal so regularly. I will endeavour to correct this failing going forward.

It seems prudent to write a will. Everyone else is doing it. Unfortunately I have nothing of any great worth, I don't believe, to share specifically with anyone. There are Blacks noted to be released upon my death.
My possessions are to be distributed among House Kennex at Ford's discretion.

Relationship Note on Amari
I admit that I haven't thought much of what Amari's vocation as a lawyer means, but today I saw it in action at the Holy Feast of Courtkeep. Both my cousin and Prince Alessandro did admirably on both sides of the mock-trial case of Princess Alarissa's "crime against fashion", which is meant to be an introduction and display of how the court process works. But I find myself wondering: with the Crown Court of Arx rendering judgement on crimes, and talented lawyers presenting the cases, what does it say about the ancient practice of Trial by Combat? What if the outcomes of the latter do not agree with the judgement of the Court? Does it not undermine the authority of the Court?
I am a Sword. My duty is to bring the guilty in for judgement, but I am no judge. I suppose this is not a question I often consider, but today it makes me think.

Master Grayhope is quite correct, and I can personally vouch that should anyone avail themselves of his services, they will find him knowledgeable and thorough. Do not put off going to see him -- as we know, our time here is generally shorter than we imagine.

Relationship Note on Mae
To see my name and my efforts at the State of the Compact was a very nice surprise but I believe I should speak a little bit more about Melaeris; there is no thralldom in Astarrea. House Melaeris has raised banners against House Thrax and House Tyde, many times before, in the name of abolishment of thralldom and while I greatly appreciate the peace we have found with our lady Duchess of Tyde, Lady Margot and the highlord of Thrax, Victus, we are opponents with very polarizing views, but not all battles need to be bloody and not all battles need to take place in the field. To resolve your differences in court, under the judgement of your peers and in a civil matter is a honorable and efficient compromise. Praise be to Gloria but if history is a lesson in life, our best option and only option has to be through diplomacy with respect towards the laws of the land.
I do not need to convince my niece for the end of thralldom because it's very abolishment is the purpose of our house. To light a flame in those who've had injustice done to them, to give them the tools they need to fight and to carry and pass on their flames so that those who see it become inspire to do the same.

Let me just say that when it comes to wills, it's a good thing to be prepared. So why leave it as an entry in a journal amongst thousand others?
You have collected fine things, you have worked your sweat and brow to earn what you have. Why would you let it languish, with simply a throw-away remark written down in your spare time to safeguard it all? That's no way to handle business. No, what you need is an honest-to-goodness Last Will and Testament.
After all, if you are going to die, do it on your terms! Leave your survivors with the comfort and ease that is a properly prepared will. They are already dealing with heartache, who would be so cruel that they'd leave them with a headache as well?
Handmade, crafted to your specification and without loopholes. Signed and witnessed, with copies safely stored so that there can be no arguments. A document made to make you rest easy in that final rest. A will you can be proud of for the remainder of your days.
It can be yours, for a modest fee.

When I was a younger man, my birthday was a great time to get fucking drunk, eat way too much food, and find someone to have sex with, preferably someone good at it.
I'm celebrating my birthday this year by donating large sums of money to the development of our common humanity.
I'm forty years old. Every day is a new beginning.
Cheers, Arvum.

I made my way to the Redrain estates the other day so I might have a chance to formally introduce myself to the Prince and Princess. Met several people. Listened in on a lot of discussions. Perhaps next time I might have more a clue as to what half of what they discussed meant.
Went home and changed, then explored a little. Made at least one friend.
All in all, a very good day.

This new venture idea is truly appealing, and I am wondering more and more how we will go about getting it all set up. I know that first, we must find a suitable place for the shop and go from there. I'm too excited about it all. Just think of the pastries!

I believe all the previous people writing wills, until this latest spurt, were those going on the maiden voyage of the Carlotta. I mean, it's smart. It's a boat. It /could/ sink, but I hope it doesn't. Because, for personal reasons, I really, really want to see the maiden voyage of the Carlotta to be successful. I mean, really, what explorer /wouldn't/ want an OCEAN VOYAGING VESSAL be successful?
I have the Eventide to sail to again, and the cogs just can't cut it. I know this from experience. I've tried. They don't hack the storms, and don't have enough storage for supplies. We lost a ship and barely made it home. There's a hidden continent to find people. HIDDEN CONTINENT!
So, I'm glad people are setting wills, but please be safe, and don't sink!
Fervently praying to Mangatta the boat and the people in it make it.

Is Arx set on doing the "last will and testament" thing again? Really?
Okay, here we go...
I wrote a very long letter, to my friends, to my loved ones, to my family. I listed out, item by item, everything I owned, and to whom it should go to. I submitted it to the blacks. But now as I see talk of wills reappearing in the whites, and as I asked the scholars to pull my own from the archives, I have to wonder what I was doing. What was the point of all that? To make myself cry? To make others cry? I don't know. I don't really understand.
So, I want to make things simple. Should I die, everything goes to Itzal. There's a safe place I put stuff - Magpie has a key. There's some letters in there, along with a lot of junk. Do as you wish with all of it, baby brother (though my recommendation is to burn it, especially the artwork).
Signed and made official,

PS, Sorry, Itzal!

I read your latest journal entry and my heart skipped a beat -- but, not in a good way.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
