Relationship Note on Ryhalt

*there is a sketch of a man, long hair around his shoulders, and with a tall figure, towering over another, smaller figure. The shorter person is a woman, slight of build with a bow and arrow slung over her shoulder, her hair left white, a brightness to her build. The pair are both gazing at each other, smiles upon their lips and it is set upon a sun at the horizon.*

Relationship Note on Audric

I don't think I can laugh at you for having to do paper work anymore. I've never seen so many stacks of papyrus in my life.

I've just gotten back from a hunting trip, conveniently timed to the ascension of my wife, whereupon it has grown exponentially.

Fuuuuuuuuu--

Relationship Note on Isabetta

Your return to the city is hard to miss. Welcome home, Isabetta Gilden.

PS, I should thank you, Eleyna's spiked coffee made for a very invigorating morning for me.

I think it's important to remember sometimes that the white journals can be a useful tool for displaying opinions and broadcasting them to Arvum, especially if you're one that has the platform to have an opinion that matters. With all that is going on, I have to wonder sometimes if people take those little messages perhaps a little too seriously. A joke that starts a war between houses, a sardonic remark taken as the wound of deepest honor. Do people take things too seriously? Or do I perhaps not take such things seriously enough? It's something to think about.

I am of course thrilled that I was able to lead the Grayson Crew Team to victory in the compact race that was run this week. Honor should not come to me before it it given to the strong rowers, Barric, Esoka, and Thesarin, as they pulled hard and true to carry us forward. I've always been something of a reserved man, and while I long for me sweet wife to resume her social duties for the house, I'll admit to a growing fondness for these competitions. Perhaps I'll organize something for my fellow academics?

The north is my home. The mountains call to me, much like those sailors say that the sea calls to them. To see the majestic peaks rising in the background. To sit in there shadows as the sun starts to peak over the horizon. To see the home once again. I wish my stay could have been longer, but unfortunately that is not the case.

The mountain know to the locals as Bighill was red as they come. The soil was a composition of clays and copper likely, and probably a little bit of iron. But she reached to the sky and the view from the side of her was nothing short of breathtaking.

I wish I could have stayed there up there for longer, but rumors of forces possibly marching on Farhaven left us little time for sight seeing.

I will not speak of the battle against to the lied to shavs. But the horror that the HornedAss committed should stand as a testament to all of just how dangerous he is. To turn those who he lied to swarms of wasps at just a drop of a hat? That is terrifying.

Even so, we will defend the north to our last breaths.

Relationship Note on Isabetta

If it's brandy you're after, in say, the completely innocent pursuit of knowledge so that you can say what it pairs well with, and what it does not...

Let's just has I have a steady supply. If you want a cask? It's yours for the asking.

As a word of friendly advice, do not attempt to steal into my manor. I just do not believe we know one another at all well enough for that sort of thing.

It was my honor to represent the Grayson team in the Compact Crew Race, as one of the rowers. It had been far too long since I competed alongside my Count Thesarin in this way, and it was most invigorating. In Prince Barric, one would ask for no greater rowing partner, and Lord Malesh the Marquis of Stonewood led us to good and direct victory.

I'm proud we won, but also hope we paid good homage to Mangata in a celebration of her waters. I would thank my fellow competitors from Valardin, Redrain, Velenosa, the Crownsworn and - most especially - Thrax for a spirited competition. I hope to row again next year, currents willing.

Relationship Note on Edward

But for the record, of course there is. Abandoned don't come in armies, they come in tribes, clans, villages. The wilds are a lot larger than I suspect most people around here realize. There are people out there. Thousands of people. They've been there forever, living and dying. The Horned One has been building his army for decades and more. Longer than Brand. Just because he's only been known to you for a few years doesn't mean he hasn't been out there making their lives miserable for generations. And just because you don't see or think about them until they're on your doorstep (or you theirs) doesn't mean they don't exist until they're drawing weapons to fight you across a battlefield.

Sometimes I wonder how aware people are of things. The risks that come with their words and actions. i, generally, don't care. I will offend someone before I hide what I am thinking.

I'm wondering what you think the moral problem would be for the Compact in that scenario. I'm damned curious, actually.

Today I begin my first mission in attempts to successfully adhere to the wishes of His Grace, the glorious, the magnanimous, incredible Prince Talen Velenosa.

He has instructed me that I should be causing trouble as to avoid being ready at his call and thus I intend to do just that. I solemnly accept my sacred duty that the prince has given to me.

Tomorrow morning I steal into the kitchens, hoping that my actions are not discovered. The coffee is my target. This elixir of the gods, this sacred drink, to which even I admit a deep love, shall be the site of the nefarious deed.

In my other hand.. Brandy. It was all I could get that would work in coffee, wine would just make it undrinkable. One would not say I am proficient in the art of the drink mixing, so I may of added too much. We shall know soon enough. Who is the unfortunate soul who will be given this brew I do not know. Actually, I do not care. I just hope the servants are not brewing coffee for themselves.

Actually I better add brandy to a few more things.

I loathe to write so much, but if this act is not recorded for future generations than who shall know of my sacrifice. This was fine brandy.

Relationship Note on Thena

Your advice should be your own. Luca was not commenting on the creatures of the Abyss and otherwise that a Herald and its Archfiend can command. He was speaking on specifically the Abandoned. To which I specifically commented. If he made mention of the other I may have commented on the other.

Roland, Shadow, Karri, Timmons. My room is turning into a small menagerie. I should have my niece Serah come and keep them preoccupied. I love our animals dearly, but I think I understand why Edain looked horrified when I suggested letting Semiramis sleep inside with us during winter, there wouldn't be room for our horses. I believe we are at animal capacity.

If you think an Archfiend and his Herald can only build an army with Abandoned, you...just...I don't know, pay more attention or something.

I've always kept bug repellant as part of my kit, because dealing with angry bugs is miserable. Yet somehow the first time it comes up, I'm positioned elsewhere. Not sure if I'm thankful or not for being spared that.

Someone wishes me to write that charity is not just a thing that you do. You either are of a charitable nature or you are not. And if you are not, you can embrace it or you can rail against it, but the latter proves the nature very well.

She also says that she's not, uhm, surprised that the nobles of the city haven't learned. And that we'd all be better off without the noble airs that are put on.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have written those words, but she wouldn't stop. Just, I'm sorry.

Relationship Note on Luca

I do not know if it is surprising or worrisome to hear that there are still enough Shav out there to build a large army for horny after the last army was counted at over one-hundred thousand Shav and they were slaughtered nearly to a man.

If they chose to organize without the design of something evil behind it there might actually be a true moral problem for the Compact.
