To err is human, to forgive is divine.
I have personally witnessed the mistake of human's hubris. If there is going to be any success, learning humility and asking for forgiveness is the first step.
I already know what I am, and I know that I don't like it all much. The evidence of that was made physical upon a gift from my grandfather and again in the shrine.
Knowing what I have to do seems easy. Achieving it will be the hard part. Such are things when your eyes are uncovered.

We did what we had to do but it never makes it easier.

Thanks to the amazing generosity of Princess Tikva Grayson (one of my adoring fans!), I have shoes to go with my most perfect dress. And perhaps even more importantly, I have selected a date for the event (don't cry other applicants, there will be other events!). His eyes match my dress!
Everything is utterly perfect.
Oh yes.
And now onto other things. Planning, planning, more planning for future and further events!
Most Splendiferously,
Lady Tessa Moore of Highfield

The loss of life saddens me, as it doesn't have to be. And those beasts didn't ask to be tainted like that. It was done to them, and that is not right. And who or whom ever is doing it must be stopped. And I wish we didn't have to have killed some of Abandon tribe either, but that too was unavoidable. They were a danger, I... I could feel it, or knew it...
Or my knee... It's weird... it only started up after my injury healed. But since then it hurts, throbs, aches, itches at times when... ehh, it's probably nothing, just my mind making things up, over what is likely just coincidences. And my blood pumping in the heat of the moment.

Probably one of the only other Swords in the city that I've spent a good amount of time with, both on the training field and off.
All boots should be watched when Fluffy is around, though. I only have the one pair, and if that dog chews them....I don't know what I might do.
Buy new boots, probably.

I want to hit something. I want to kill something. But I don't have a target.
So instead....I shop.
It might just be an excuse, a rationalization, for something I enjoy doing anyways. But right now, somehow supporting the creation of someone else's art somehow soothes me. A little.
Plus, I really am vain.
I need new clothes, too.

I do not feel qualified to comment on the horrible death in the harbor beyond to acknowledge that it was, indeed, horrible. And I hope the person who caused it is made to be very very sorry.
BUT, not all is tears in my world. I have met... Prince Edain Valardin, our glorious and brooding leader. He is very handsome and he let me pet his horse. He told me if I like I may pick a foal from the stables in the spring. I will need to have a stable by then!
Also dearest darlings, I have received the PERFECT dress as a gift from most Gracious Princess Alarissa. Now all I have to do is find some slippers and all my problems will be solved. Oh maybe a tiara... or something.
If any of you dearests knows where a girl may find such things do let me know.
The Most Splendiferous One,

It was an old Thrax captain that taught me how to sail. In a lot of ways I'm just as Thraxian as anyone else that loves the sea.

We had great support from the Redrain High Lord, who helped fund the event on behalf of the fealty, and many others helped as well. It felt good to bring us all together, even those who could not be in attendance. Thank you all! And thank you Magpie, my protege, for your help too!
And to everyone who was able to attend, thank you! I hope you had at least half of the enjoyment from the evening as I did! (And if anyone wishes to still purchase any of the items, let me know) - I meant what I said at the end. I feel it is very important to keep balance in life. Joys balance sorrows and help us weather the storms. And man, are we, as a Compact, ever facing some storms. Storms full of black ichor and... things. My heart goes out to the Thrax and what they are now having to endure. I have every faith in them that they will meet this head on and overcome.
I, for one, plan to help them as much as I am able. I have already reached out to those I am in contact with on occasion to offer my assistance. I urge everyone who is able to do so as well. Whether it be helping with the economic hardship of having to rebuild a fleet, shipping in goods from your lands that they will need, or doing the physical down and dirty labor of rebuilding what needs rebuilt.
As a Compact, we may not all always see eye to eye on matters important to our various Great Houses, but we are all still in this together. This too, is a balance. Help those who need aide, and they will be more apt to help you when you find yourself in darker times.
So to those who attended tonight, thank you for celebrating the beauty of winter as we in the north know it. And to those who had more serious matters to attend to this eve, know you have the support out there to help should you need.
