I mean, really. Kidnapping the King? How did they expect that to work... and for what? A pat on the back from someone who wants to unmake them?
These are the days you need to remind yourself that an Inquisitor is on the front line against the worst the Compact has to offer.

I can't say that I had the best life before bending the knee to Redrain, it was the worst Abyss most anyone could ever imagine. Yet, despite the worst of it, through the odds, I came out breathing. I'm still here, standing. Living. Surviving. It didn't come without a price. Once you come out of a place like that, it changes you. The ghosts of it still haunt, still torment, and while I'm still here, it leaves wounds that have yet to fully heal. The bitter resentment and hate still rears its head, deeply rooted, and sometimes it takes a firm hand to have the strength to pull such thoroughly entrenched ideas out. Sometimes it takes very real threats of more change to make you pause, to make you think and to give incentive to try and clear away debris left by scars and poignant memories that still cut deep - all so you can see the world around you with absolute clarity. So you can see the bigger picture without anything else clouding it.
Though while I stand, a survivor, I'm still not free. I'm still bound, and I've done it to myself by holding onto a past that has ended up hurting people I never intended to hurt. Change can be a frightening thing at times, especially when the outcome is uncertain, but if you don't pull out the weeds, other things won't grow properly, and left unattended, they'll overtake everything, resulting in destruction. So, here I am on this edge. Do I stay and keep looking back over my shoulder to what was, long since passed, and let it chain me further, unable to progress, leading to my eventual self destruction? Or do I look forward into that unknown below, take that leap and hope for the best? Not much of a question, really, it's clear what I have to do - but a little at a time.
Change can shape you, mold you into something better, but if you don't rip out the unsavory pieces, it means nothing.
I'll tear it all out, one piece at a time. I won't let it weaken me or threaten the things I care most about.
I've survived some of the worst things imaginable, and I'll survive this.

Already made a new enemy. It is my most hated foe, and tho
I cannot readily dispatch it with my blade. Oooooh the trouble.
How it taunts me and makes me feel a fool. How it has injured
those closest to me. What manner of beast would do such a
thing but one created by our own hands. That's right. One
day I will conquer thee oh mighty Gauntlet. Your days are
numbered!

In Eurus, the ability to read and write is a considered something of a luxury reserved for those of status and higher birth. The lower castes, it's far more common that they didn't possess the knowledge than did because the keeping of journals is not so integral to daily lives and worship.
It's a startling contrast amidst many, but yet one more difference that I adore about Arvum and it's culture.

I wonder if some kind of society could be formed who are interested in such matters; not explorers per se, but rather naturalists who find flora and fauna fascinating, whether they are mere dilettantes such as myself, or those with greater expertise.
