Relationship Note on Sparte

Sparte is new to the guards. He has great potential. He is eager to help, intelligent and self-controlled.

Relationship Note on Agnarr

The giant!

I defeated him once in a spar, but only because I had Sigurd fighting with me.

I wasn't at my most mature when I danced around him going we defeated The Giant of Compact.

He took that pretty well.

And then in our next spar with just us two he won by a landslide and left me pretty bruised.

Still I stood up him longer and I will take longer.

If I can withstand the giant's blows a little longer each day, it is a victory.

He finally came out of the rectory! Someone told me his name is Fawkuhl. He was accused of pushing someone named Esera off a bridge during something important that I must've missed while on duty. He didn't act like a man who'd been caught red handed though, kept going on and on about his innocence. I don't really know how someone would fool people like that, unless he was really far away? Maybe someone in a disguise?

I heard a story about something like that once, but it was a magic fox. Do they have magic foxes in the city?

Spent the afternoon picking at old, healed wounds and writing terrible, awful poetry with Aureth. Ah. Just like old times.

Relationship Note on Esera

Gods of the Pantheon, I beg of thee,

Mangata -- Embrace her, for she burned bright as the sun, captivated tides with her smile.
Petrichor -- Keep her, for she bloomed as vividly as you paint the world in the colors of nature.
Lagoma -- Cherish her, for her fire magnifies, and change cometh.

Vellichor -- Remember her, that the world may never forget her.
Gloria -- Honor her, for her honor saved us all.
Jayus -- Sing of her, for her dreams were those of a whole people, her beauty a wonder.

Limerance -- Love her, for she so loved the world, she gave of herself.
Sentinel -- Judge her rightly, for no mortal finds perfection, but her soul is fire and light for the good of us all.
Gild -- Treasure her, for we are poorer for her absence.

The Thirteenth, my heart, my soul, she belongs to you now, and you have all of me in your keeping. Let her light and darkness fill our world, and we know strength through her.

Gods above, below, beyond, I beg of thee, hear a sister's prayer, and embrace her once more, accepted into your arms. May the gift of her service honor you and inspire your people to greatness.

I find myself at a loss. I'm not really sure what I can do now. I was sick for a great deal of time, and now it simply feels like the world has passed me by. So I don't really know where to go from here. I sit and I think and I ponder, and I wonder where to go from here.

And maybe it's a bit of trepidation that perhaps I have learned too much. Or I've fallen out of certain circles and suddenly been lost at the wayside.

Some guidance would sincerely help at this point, because I don't know what to do now.

Two days in this town and things are going...not terrible.

That is until my servant brought me back 60 pelts rather than 6. This is apparently what I get for sending a servant with a tongue too thick to be understood properly.

I sincerely hope that people don't get sick of getting these as gifts for the next forever.

So I ran the damn gauntlet in the Telmar Tower.

It's -obviously- meant for tall people. Those high hurdles are -murder- on my thighs, I have bruises in places a person should not have bruises-

-I mean. Well. Bruises from hurdles! Ugh!

The baths seem to lay bare moments of unusual insight, and perhaps, even moments of strange earnest. While lingering in the waters today, and enjoying what respite they provided, those present brought to light the strangeness of what can be. While thoughts drifted to the unpleasant things going on, the waters strips away even the most unsettling concerns.

Relationship Note on Gabriel

Duke Gabriel Bisland, an honorable man who was Regent for ten long years of peace. And when a Regent was no longer needed, he stepped down peacefully as well. He is a hard man but a good one, and I cannot imagine who would be better suited to the Regency now. With all the threats to the Compact, both internal and external, he is a man I would trust to look after the interests of the Crown. The King's Own could work with him. I sincerely hope the Council sees reason and appoints him sooner rather than later.

Relationship Note on Sparte

One of the Iron Guards' new recruits. Have it on good authority he can take a real pounding.

We've been guarding the Rectory forever it feels like. People are calm, so that is good and all? But all of us are pretty bored. I offered to send a chocolate bar in to the Rectory for the guy if he'd just come out already. People didn't like that idea.

I'm also told I shouldn't come to the Training Grounds for a few days. The mercies are annoyed with me, said I get hit in the head too much. I told them that is why I had a helmet, they said that was what I told them yesterday. I... I didn't remember talking to them yesterday. I agreed to take some time off from full contact training.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

** As reported by Eirene's aide Carissa**
Send a message to Aldwin would you? Blah blah, Dominus whatever new title he has... I've seen what blessed shit can do to fuck up demons and bringers, so I want to keep working with the Church to be sure we can get what we need to keep our people safe from this insane magic bullshit. Good fucking luck with the shit you got ahead of you...


Most Holy Dominus - as someone who has seen the power of the Gods first-hand in defeating our enemies, I wish to continue to work as closely as I can with the Faith to ensure our soldiers and common-folk have the protection of the Gods they need against supernatural threats. May the Gods grant you patience and wisdom in your trials ahead - Scribed by my dictation -- Lady Eirene Malvici

Relationship Note on Aldwin

The Archscholar -- now Dominus -- has been a valued friend and teacher to me for some time. He's one of the handful outside of family who are all but family. The handful I'd defend with my life as readily as I would my own brother or sister, my cousins and kin. He's been one of the handful of voices I'll always stop and at least listen to, both in the troubles we're facing and in my own philosophical questions.

I trust he'll be an excellent Dominus.

I'm not certain if I should offer him my congratulations or my condolences, however.

Relationship Note on Orazio

I'm glad Aldwin was chosen to be Dominus instead of Orazio.

Imagine the trouble I could cause with stories of that man before his entry into the priesthood...

Not that I'd do that to a dear friend.

With everything else going on, it's so easy to forget little unimportant dates. The only reason I remembered my own birthday was that my cousin Killian and Prince Ainsley sent me a gift... a tiny fox kit, ears bigger than its own head, left sleeping on my bed.

Perhaps I need to pay a little more attention to the mundane world than I have felt I've had time to, lately.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

I didn't know Fawkuhl at all. I'd never met him nor spoken to to him. Because of his position and the dark forces we're constantly being attacked and manipulated by, I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I've met Dominus Aldwin. He's a wise and learned scholar. His very first official words to us all as Dominus are encouraging. I have great hopes that he can mend the rift between the Faith and the Houses. Divided and at odds, we can only fall to the demons and the forces arrayed against us.
