Relationship Note on Alis
Even if no one else says it, it makes me happy that someone as esteemed as you sees how hard my Guild works, as best as they are able, with repairs and defenses in the city. I know what it's like to feel useless while the word around you picks up and takes care of things, if I've alleviated any of that for the Crafters with the purpose put before us by Calypso, I'll take that small success. With pleasure.
Don't you forget to take care of yourself as well, my friend. Does no good if we're the last ones we see to, yes?

Relationship Note on Rymarr
It's my understanding that Marquis Rymarr is attempting to spread false rumors that he was not, in fact, giddy at his wedding.
As the man standing closest to him while he gave his vows, I will stake my honor on his giddiness.
But he's welcome to call for a champion if he likes.

It is easy to feel powerless. It is easy to feel that our enemies have all of the weapons.
But we consigned an Abyssal enemy to Lagoma's fire tonight. We are not powerless.

I've heard tales that recently I was giddy. I was not. Do not believe the propaganda. I smiled once or twice. My cheeks still hurt from the effort. It was a thoroughly exhausting endeavor.
It was an enjoyable wedding ceremony although and I appreciate Brother Aleksei of the Faith for officiating it. It did not seem prudent to hold such an affair in the midst of a siege, but one must find their hope where they are able. Or provide hope in what ways they are able. What began in the planning stages as a small, intimate ordeal apparently became something far greater judging by the number of individuals who made an appearance at the ceremony. Or we simply sent more invitations that I recalled there being to begin with. Regardless, I was humbled by those who attended, from High Lords to commoners who wished to be present to see my wife, be married. She looked marvelous, of course. I'd be remiss not to mention that fact.
There were also knights present to act as an honor guard. There were banners. My wife convinced Judge to wear a flower garland without eating it. There was armor. There were no horns though. Overall it was a successful ceremony to make the Oathlander in me proud.
So now I begin my new path as the Marquis of Deepwood. The wood is deep, thus it leaves one serene.

Officiated my first wedding! Only threw up before the service, in private and behind closed doors, and didn't get anything on my robes. Also didn't forget any words, so overall a success. Let's not even mention that a certain someone had to idly threaten to write the Dominus and Father Orazio to inform them I was incapable of performing the ceremony. What a cruel motivator. Who would even do that? (You know who you are.)
Marquessa and now-Marquis Rymarr were ridiculously giddy about the whole thing, so that gets added to the success column.
I look a little silly in robes. Still not used to that bit.

Relationship Note on Niamh
The Order of the Golden Dragon.
I don't really know how I feel about this.
There's part of me that's so proud, that feels /full/, at seeing someone I love step up to try to push back the darkness. Gods know, once there were dozens of Orders out there, each with their own goals -- some seeking knowledge, some seeking power, yes, but many of them seeking just to keep the world from ending. Seeking to keep humanity alive.
We could use that again, with the darkness rising.
But I've lost so many people, too. My father dead. Vincere and Pietro dead. Dawn missing. The list goes on.
The idea of the woman I love putting herself in harm's way like that... it makes me uneasy. Selfish as that is, it does.
But I'll put that aside, and cheer as loudly as any others.
(Though this is, I imagine, how people feel about Ashfords much of the time; I can't imagine my own adventuring leaves Nia sleeping entirely easily, either...)

I have been up and around Arx for a while now. Much has changed since my arrival. Rumors from around the countryside had made rounds to me, but when I came here, it was all a crazy mix of magic and divine talk. So much has been uncovered within one Year, than I think has been my whole life. We are entering a new era, and even if this siege is won, this is far from over. The new world which awaits us is one that has much change in it. Lagoma guide us through it, and I think we might find that many things we couldn't comprehend, that didn't matter then, will matter now, perhaps.

Your armor was heard all the way to Farhaven and back again.
Still, looks good on you.
By the by, I owe you tremendously for the swords you pledged. When we get through this mess you get a whiskey or twelve and a few tales on me.
Fuck it.
I'm buying you and Aleksei a barrel.

I fervently hope that everyone realizes the hard work you put in to keeping the merchants able to stay afloat during the siege. I know it must be a thankless job at times, while those in armor and swinging the swords get so much of the glory. But I promise we do not forget your hard work! Or the work of all the people who bring supplies despite the danger.
And on top of that, to remain inspired do Jayus work. You have my admiration.

On flash:
As my mother's son, I will tell you this: clothing is a language and that outfits are a message.
I could think of no better design for my armor than this to wear to shout "fuck you" to Tolamar Brand on behalf of the Queen of Endings and Beginnings.

As I lay here, my back ten kinds of messed up, I sit back and think about this latest night of terror and pain and misery and hope and revenge. A tangled mess, to be sure. And while I have given my praise to the Gods while I am recumbent for the most part, I have decided to let the scribes record the thanks I owe to each of those who stood alongside me, and me with them, in that holy place:
Gisele - You didn't falter, even when the demon announced he was coming for you. You kept the ritual going, and gave everything you have against a creature who has hurt you so much. We all owe you and the other ritual-speakers our lives.
Aureth - I will admit, I was skeptical of the new armor. It is flashy, and flashy means 'dead' in most situations. But you held true, held to the Gods, and spoke the words that ended in the demon's weakening and death. You have my thanks from here to the grave.
Fortunato - I think I hit you during the ritual in all the confusion. Apologies for that. You were a true and stalwart soul that stood your ground well. And you helped to teach this old knight how to express himself. Thank you. Also, you lit the bastard on fire, and I can't overstate how much that pleased me.
Aleksei - Brash, forward, excitable aleksei. I was a bit worried about your entry into our ranks, but your prayers that night, along with your blade, may have been unconventional, but they were also effective and forceful. Shattering that reflection will stand in my memory forever.
Freja - I could fill pages with all the opinions I have on the Princess, but despite being outmatched, outarmored, and left in a horrible situation against an implacable foe? She held her own and managed to summon her own spirits to assist in destroying this monster. You are a treasured soul, I hope you realize that.
I truly believe that without any one of these people, we would have failed that night, and the demon that we faced would have been left free to kill and maim and terrify more innocents of Arx and beyond. But it is dead. We won. Even if winning was painful, an horrible, and sometimes feels like no victory at all? It is over. The Pale Man is no more. And I can sleep again at last.

She is a Thrax, Just when I was begining to fear that the Thrax might only see those to be put under foot or blade when they look at the abandoned or us prodigals she makes me think different. She treated me as a person and with great kindness, and has been very helpful around the shop. And it would seem she will be my new neighbor, The smell of incense already taking to the air in a most wonderful way..

The wedding I was invited to draws closer, And I am stuck between feeling sadness and joy. Sadness because I fear this will change much between me and the Princess I call Pink Ribbon. But Joy because I truly wish to see her happy, Wish to see her smile more. I can only hope that with this new change and path she will find herself on she will still have time to visit.
I am not sure I am ready for this wedding, I am not sure it is ready for me. But we shall see. Now to find the one marrying her so I can have a talk and make sure they know not to hurt her.. Not to make her cry in sadness.

Lady Kennex is a nice woman, a bit different than what one would expect. I spoke to her about the Court, and I'm hoping we will be working together in the future. She seems to be quite fond of the law.
