Relationship Note on Benjamin

Not going to lie, I was surprised at how organized Master Carver seem to be. I was not sure if I wanted to follow through and join the Physicians' Guild, but spending some time with him at the hospital convinced me this was the right step. Man has that head of his on his shoulders from the looks of it. And I get my own office. See this Lord Commander? I get my own office and damned right I do. Granted, I have absolutely no coin to furnish it.

Relationship Note on Driskell

He may not be the hero my tastebuds deserve, but he is the hero they need.

Of course he is also a man of great wisdon, faith, passion, and strength. But that zucchini bread.

I've perfected a delicious recipe for Zucchini and Cheddar Loaf at Darkwater Reach. You're welcome, tastebuds.

2 cups of flour, any will do
2 teaspoons baking powder, see alchemist
half teaspoon baking soda, see alchemist.
quarter teaspoon finest Thraxan sea salt, other salt is poor
quarter teaspoon fresh ground black pepper. Get from Thraxan traders.
eighth teaspoon ground cayenne pepper. Rare hot delight you can get from Thraxan traders.
2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary, chopped), best from the Sanctum of Genesis gardens. Probably not good to be caught by the gardeners.
2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated. I prefer Grayson butter, the cows are fatter.
2 eggs
quarter cup of olive oil, best from Lyceum groves.
half a cup of milk
1 cup of zucchini, shredded or extremely finely grated. Get these in the City Center market.


1. Combine the dry ingredients, herbs, shallots and cheese; stir to mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, add the oil and milk, mix it well.
3. Stir in the zucchini.
4. Add liquid ingredients with zucchini to flour mixture and stir just until all the ingredients are moistened; don't over mix this.
4. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured loaf pan or even better, pour in mini-loaf pans.
5. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes, I use a toothpick to check that it comes out clean.
6. Stand for 15 minutes in the pan, turn out onto a wire rack afterwards to cool completely. Don't be stupid and impatient here, taking it out of the pan before it cooled will wreck it, trust me. Patience is a virtue.

I prefer the small loaves then slice them in triangle halves, warming the sliced side until it is golden then serve with fresh salted batter and salt flakes.

I found myself caught in a momentary sadness today. A pointt in time where a memory flashed through my thoughts and dragged me to the past. It was like walking into a place and suddenly smelling something similar to the herbal tea often brewed over the fire when you were small. Only, it wasn't quite close to that scent, was it? It was something small, one herb, perhaps, that stood out and took your mind on a trip to bygone times. It was like that, but different. Not all hauntings are unpleasant or ghostly in nature.

Relationship Note on Rymarr

Fought with the skilful Sir Lyonesse at the gates- he lent me Calamity, which I brought to the Shav'arvani. And through it - my first engagement with a Bringer - which ended poorly for it.

Relationship Note on Calarian

A Grayson prince who has recently arrived within Arx. Reportedly brought a substantial number of Abandoned with him. I assume of course that they chose to bend the knee and become Prodigal. He informed me that his arrival preceded the siege by only a short period of time. I hope that he remains safe at the very least. Arx is a wonderful place this time of year, but it currently has a few uncouth visitors who should rightly be summarily sent back northward. Preferably in some nice sealed jars with a politely worded note to inform those far, far to the north bring closure to their aggression. Ideally these sealed jars bearing the Bringer ashes would be militarized in some manner.

I digress, of course. The prince showed ample respect for my service to the Crown, which I of course appreciate it. It was a sacrifice made. Even if it was a necessary sacrifice. Time moves forward though and here we are now. I'll say a prayer to the gods on the prince's behalf and encourage them to ensure his safety. Or at least put appropriate parties in place at the right time to ensure that he remains safe.

Drinking won't help.
I don't know why people drink. Even worse, why I do it.

I know I'm forgetting something but I don't know what...

I want the siege to end.

And I want him to be himself again.

I don't talk about this much because I know that in the end? I am one person. However I am still so in awe of something that happened to me. Something that made my faith deeper and my spirits lift. I didn't know what I wanted to say and I am still not entirely sure I have the right words.

I wrote a prayer down because I meant it, because before every fight, every battle. I pray. I pray for the safety of our people, for the hope that people will come home to their loved ones. All of those things. I wrote this prayer in my journal because I wanted people to see that maybe I am shamanistic and maybe I am a heathen but I care. That I fully believe that The Gods of The Faith exist. I have seen proof of it. I have seen a blessing. I know that people have gotten visions.

Well I wrote a prayer. I got a vision, a reassurance that the Old Gods and Spirits would lend us aid, that Arx would not fall. I heard them the night of the siege. I heard their voice and I knew they had come. I saw them. They came, they helped as they promised they would. I prayed for their safety while they were there. I heard them again telling me not to worry.

So for that Thank you, Gods of Old, Spirits and the Gods of The Faith. Thank you for all that you give, for all that you bless. Thank you for hearing my prayer and blessing us with your presence. I for one will forever be grateful for all that you do for us. Thank you for everything, for listening to me. For hearing my words and caring for us.

I know I put all the Gods in there but now is not the time to shun someone for being different. Now is the time we band together and fight.

Relationship Note on Anze

I'm glad you and Calypso both could be present. And, will be able to travel to Sanctum once we kick Bringer ass.

Also, giver of red wool hats. Yes I will wear the brightly dyed hat if we travel north. I would not want to get lost in a random snowdrift. It matches absolutely nothing I own, so it will be like a bright, shining, out of place beacon.

This certainly isn't my first siege, though I have to admit I much more prefer to be on the other side of the bloody fucking gates or harbor. Bloody fucking mess this entire damned thing.

Once the Shamans gathered and called together a great thunderborn, Brought to fight the darkness. But now paths are lost, People are lost. The old beliefs slowly dwindling like the last light of a fire in the early hours of the morning. Is the strong belief of a few enough? Or like before are many needed with true belief.. and two selves.

Relationship Note on Karadoc

As a young girl I enjoyed being around Karadoc a lot, we were close. I could keep up with him and he let me play with him even though I was several years younger. When he disappeared I was quite sad but as it tends to, life went on. Now he is in Arx with me again and I am finding that even though it has been many years and we are different people now we are growing close again. I have missed him more than I would have thought, it is nice to have him back in my life.

It would seem my efforts to use the outlaws, rogues and pirates seemed to help. Not that I had my doubts, I know others wouldn't hear me on my thoughts.. But perhaps showing them spoke louder than words ever will. The fight though is far from over, More enemies lay in wait just beyond the horizon. Fucking bastards are gonna bleed, The seas made to flow red once more.
