The current ever dreaded, never-ending to-do list.
1. Avoid sniffing, plucking, nibbling or touching the unknown plants now sprouting in the plant beds.
2. Figure out what the unknown plants are sometime, preferably soon before falling into them accidentally.
3. Relocate the hammock so not to fall out if it into the unknown plants
4. Try, again, to figure out how to get, not fall, out of the hammock
5. Locate sample bottles of wine for Lady Melissa to evaluate-re possible trade negotiations between she and Quenia.
6. Find lost childhood workbook, practice inept song written in it when 12 just in case King Alaric really meant it when he said he wanted to hear it and was not just being charmingly polite.

Two turns of the sun since I arrived in Maelstorm. It is quite an interesting place, the architecture seeming to reflect Thrax fashion. They have a statue of Mangata that is a beauty to behold, and the Fortress is majestic. The docks also quite extravagant in their own way. It seems many people look haunted, I can only assume that the battle against dark forces here has not been going well. I hope I'm able to assist in some way. I brought a few crates of supplies with me. Not much, but I sacrificed personal income of my household since I'm not using it while I'm away, and instead decided to place that out into some food and drink. Not much, but I hope it makes a few happy.

Relationship Note on Edward

I will be happy to educate the public on what I know of the subject of that knowledge which is no longer forbidden.

My rates as an instructor on many topics are quite reasonable.

Facetious though your remarks seem to be, any halfway educated occultist can tell you that magic comes in kinds, however, and that not all of them are inherently evil. This is a great step forward against the forces of ignorance.

So how does one identify magic that is not aligned with the Abyss? Does Abyssal magic and non-Abyssal magic have a flavor? Spicy vs savory perhaps? Or do we just take the mage's word for it?

Someone says that slavery is bad:

The Archive explodes in a riot of paper over the controversy!

The Faith of the Pantheon updates the Laws of Limerance to no longer outlaw magic that is not aligned with the Abyss:

One or two people write vaguely approving journals. Business continues as usual.

I love this city, I really do. I was born here, you know.

I would incorporate the name into a fancy title to have people call you.

Do you need me to make up a fancy title for you incorporating the new name you like? I like formal titles!

What do you do when someone has given you a name you like more than your own?

Relationship Note on Sebastian

*A sketch of a dark haired man with pale blue eyes; those eyes are done with azure watercolor and are the only color on the page. He's got a broad smile, and he appears bent over a large chunk of clay, working it into a sculpture.*

Relationship Note on Barric

*A sketch of a tall man with dark hair, bright blue eyes done in oceanic watercolor the only color on the page. His strong features are lip up with an amused smile as he spars against another with a what appears to be a blunted sword. He appears dressed in leather pants, and a simple leather jerkin.*

I attended Countess Navegant's birthday party earlier in the week. She asked not for presents, but for donations to a cause I find right and just. Therefore, House Mazetti will be putting its silver towards a project that will not only venerate the gods, but benefit people from all walks of life across the Compact.

I also met with, by chance, the Duke of Grimhall. A man of few words, he nevertheless offered some sage advice. I shall thank him for it only after I have implemented it.

By the way, I'd like to announce that I'm boycotting all jewels.

Do not send me any jewels.

No jewels.

Definitely don't.

... especially not shiny ones.

Relationship Note on Valerio

My uncle is a man of great personal strength and moral integrity. He may say this was not always so, and that may be true, but it is not true now. He has faced down more things than I can imagine, many of them terrible, some few of them more wonderful than words. I believe fatherhood is the one thing he'd claim without reservation saved him from despair when in a very dark time of his life. What I hope is, with recent events, the Marshal of Ostria can finally lay those old ghosts to rest; not to forget them, but to cut their ties upon his spirit.

As an aside, Vitalis, as soon as you finish with whatever adventure you've embarked upon, I demand you come to Arx post-haste. There is a serious matter that requires your attention, and I already have several viable candidates lined up.

I have been ordered to go to Maelstrom to fight. This seems like the simplest way to tell those I know in Arx.

If I write something in here instead of saying it to your face, chances are good I just haven't had access to your face.

For my part, I'm quite happy to repeat anything I write on some piece of paper to someone's face. It's entirely possible that in the delay I've thought up something extra to add on.

Words are words. If anything, putting them down in a journal that everyone can read should make them mean more, not less. It means I don't give a shit if absolutely everyone knows what I think on something. People can argue over whether that's wise, but it's strange to say it's cowardly.

Apparently, my worth is better kept in Arx and not going off to dangerous places... where I could die.

I understand the sentiment and then I don't.

How do you judge a person's worth if he does not act?

While I'm sad that Aureth won't be supporting me in The Great Breakfast Sandwich Boycott of 1007, I'm nevertheless moved by his concern for my wellbeing.

You got it, Princess.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
