Relationship Note on Aurelian
It is excellent to know clearly and cleanly when someone is an unmitigated ass.

I do not often put ink to parchment for my own journals, though with the backlash from the latest Assembly of Peers I find it curious there seems to be so much shock in so many of the people. Lady Dawn was clearly a politician, but more than that after speaking with her directly only once and overhearing her words at parties and the like she struck me right away as the time that smiled too easily, flattered to often, and generally carried on like a fool. Yet she clearly had a mind, and that combination is too often a warning sign of someone who will do anything for power, and to give her such only proved that true.
Truly baffling it took so long for so many to see the tyrant hidden beneath the smile. This only further proves to me that she was controlling information to make herself seem more divine while also preventing others from solving the matter. The Nox'alfar included, as if a noble marriage was enough to mend the ancient Treaty then for someone to so often early on go on about how she srves the realm above all else, she should have stepped forward and been the first to attempt to offer herself in marriage to the elves. If accepted this would have fixed the Treaty, and as we were initially told the elves were the ones behind the king's condition, then mending the Treaty would have been reason to restore him to his former state. No surprise a tyrant would never act on this, to do so means she would give up all power and the rightful ruler would have been returned to power.
Fortunately she's been proven for what she is now, and may it be a cautionary tale to others. When a Regent is appointed you want one who has proven themselves loyal to the realm first, one proven to value people over personal goals, and one who lacks all ambition. Granted this is a combination rarely seen but they tend to prove to be the best leaders, along with wisdom and intelligence.
Still this entry is more for my own catharsis as one lacking any ability to take action or speak up on such matters personally. Still I suppose that is the price one pays for seeking to avoid politics where possible, you end up with no voice and no influence for the times it truly matters. May we learn from this and the Pantheon bless us with the wisdom, intellect, judgement, and resolve to find better candidates in the future, and choose the best one.

What a theatrical showing that Assembly was! I almost regret having missed the ending; the headache I was sustaining could've only gotten worse through the bickering of the nobles and constant noise, and this lack of sleep is already maddening. Still, I do hope none were offended by my early departure. Calypso is more than capable of speaking for me amongst my peers and superiors.
Some key things: the Teind. Despite Esera's words at the Ducal Dinner, she called in support of the sacrifices, which was, as I love, surprising! I do not mind having to play the part of the cold duke, but we will see what the others are capable of. Duke Niccolo volunteered immediately thereafter, which nearly stole the show. I respect his call -I agree we must be willing to do what we ask of our people to do. It would've been just gaudy to volunteer after him though. It did not sway his daughter.
He was topped by a woman pretending to be Marquessa, who then was elevated to her station. Truly a thrill! And so bold of her to attempt such, I applaud it. But the real scene stealer was the Regent herself, Dawn. She abdicated her position, and declared she would be the first to the Teind with twelve others. Oh, that was magnificent. I cannot help but wonder if this means Niccolo is one of the other twelve, or if he is to remain among us?
On that note, the damned treaty. Thirteen sacrifices, but why thirteen? I was told because it is the number of gods, but why does it have to be the same? The thirteenth is said to he the father of demons, or I think Juliet told me that. The old Legate- Orazio's predecessor- and twelve others were used as thirteen blood sacrifices to a demon. This number does not seem to bode happy tidings. Perhaps I shall pray to the Thirteenth, because if all these demons and monsters are real, so too must be gods. But I do not suspect He'd answer.
War is coming. I know it. And Malvici, as always, will be ready to answer its call.

I know myself well enough to realize I can sometimes make brash, or hot headed decisions. And there are definitely limits to the extent of my knowledge.
What I do know, is that leadership is a double-edged sword. And there are times when there is no good, or right choice. Either way, people will suffer or die and that is ultimately on your hands and your conscience (Unless you are Prince Donrai). You have power, but you also have responsibility.
So, in those times when a split second decision is not required - most of us ask questions. I know of none that are mind readers yet, so it puzzles me how the Highlords are supposed to assume that the answers to all of their questions have already been answered and, without those answers being shared with them, should simply make a decision on the spot when there is, at least, a marginal amount of time in which to deliberate.
Perhaps our takeaway should not be: Oh no, people disagree with me and the world will end because of it and they suck...! Perhaps it should be a resolve for more open communication in the future between those who are apparently gathering all of these answers, and those who need the information to make informed decisions. With no finger pointing in either direction as to the fault of the past lack thereof.

I have been rather pleased to see Her Highness Sylvie taking up the distinguished mantle of Duchess-Whisper as some of the greatest Lyceans of old have done before. I am confident that she has every capability necessary to make her mark among the most accomplished of the people of the Hundred Cities.
Admittedly, this is somewhat tempered by the apparently falling chances the upcoming social calendar will not be preempted by the onset of general destruction and upheaval, but I prefer to take an optimistic view of things where I can.

I have seen my predecessor show the caution and wisdom to carry on in relative secrecy and I have seen that used to turn hearts and minds against her. So, I will choose to be remembered as reckless if that is the cost I must pay to set before you the truth of your own reality. I would not have this great house carry on in ignorance. I defy ignorance now and forevermore.
The time has come for you to understand that this city has been rooted in a powerful influence. Not that of the Nox'Alfar. A different sort that most our people remain incapable of acknowledging even to this day. It has so seeped into every crack and every crevice so much so that no curse meant to make us forget it can ever hope to truly dissolve it.
The Bringers of Silence were created to corrupt this influence and others. They carry with them a death sentence infection that will not only wipe out the Nox'Alfar but also our soil, our air, our roads and the very bricks we've used to build up our walls.
There are THOUSANDS of Bringers amassing in the Crownlands. /Our lands./ Even if we succeed in pushing them off, which I am determined to do -- our inheritance is withering into a wasteland, into ash and death while others watch and deliberate our descent.
In exchange for thirteen volunteer sacrifices and a pact to fulfill human-elven marriages in adherence with treaties dating back to my ancestor Queen Alarice the Great, the Nox'Alfar have agreed to help us push off our common enemy. Their ways are abhorrent, yes. ...and to her discredit, without consulting anyone Mistress Dawn who-would-be-Regent has attempted to pay that terrible cost with her own life rather than see her people do it. My beloved cousin King Alaric sleeps. Our "advocates" pretend to concern themselves over this slumber's Nox'Alfar-cause while I am made to keep vigil for their assassination attempts. His Queen lies slain -- by some dark servant worshipped NOT by Elves but by men and women within these city walls.
We stand on the thin jagged lip of a cliff-face but griffins do not fall.
We rise in flight, talons and teeth bared.

This is why I prefer horses to people. Because, with people, given half a chance, will hound the best and brightest to death.
I wasn't there. A bunch of nobles bickering sounds like my worst nightmare. But I heard.
For all of those moaning about not trying to wake the king: if you think the Lady Dawn hasn't done her best to bring Alaric back to us, you don't know a single damned thing about her.
I know, because I've been part of this. I'm only a horseman, the son of a groom, largely unskilled in combat and pretty hopeless when it comes to diplomacy, but the Lady Regent involved me because she knew Alaric was my friend. And, make no mistake, Lady Dawn loves her brother, as i love my friend. I somehow think all of you who never cared about the king's plight until last night ever thought of that. It's just politics to you lot, isn't it? Something else to complain about when you feel everything's vaguely unfair. But King Alaric Grayson is a /person/. He is a brother to a sister. He is a friend to a muddy stableboy from Bastion. And we /care/. We've practically torn our hair out in frustration at what we can't fix. No one else seemed to give a toss until last night.
I've met an elf. I've seen their reply. I've sat at Alaric's bedside and talked to him when he could only stare blankly. And all of the 'why didn't we do MORE?' makes me sick to the core of my stomach.
We are in the hands of the Queen of Endings now. I've stood in the Shrine of Lost and pled to her, and I don't even know if enough of her exists to still listen.
And the realm has driven someone who cared--who honestly genuinely /cared/ about people--to believe the only she could continue to care was to die.
It's times like this that make me wish I could get drunk.

* Praise for the Prince of Redrain who stands beside his ideals. We need ask more questions and learn if the consequences are truth. We are basing much of this upon a people that are contrary and cruel for humor and sport -- something may be missing.
* Shame the Prince of Thrax that continues to use Thralls like pawns upon a chessboard.
* Although my thoughts are concerning the Teind are complicated, which I am still picking apart and will detail in the Black Reflections, I will say that those that stood up - willingly - as volunteers deserve a measure of respect.
* For the one that renounced, I do not blame your ill-timing at all. Your reasons are your own. Live well. Thank you for the kindness you extended to my friend - no matter what name she chooses to call herself. She (and you) are still steadfast and loyal and should always act as heart and head dictate.

The Nox'alfar are mad, but they ask no more than what we are honor-bound to give them by the treaty our people signed with them. That our people then broke. That they have given us the chance to repair our own broken honor after those in our midst sought to cause their destruction is a /miracle/.
We had a treaty. We /broke it/. And yet everyone would rather speak as if the demands laid at our door are outrageous and surprising.
The Abandoned have been paying the Teind for centuries. And whether we know it or not, we the nobility have been paying the price of marriage just as long, generation from generation.
Let us not pretend they are making demands on us that our greatest queen did not pledge us too centuries ago.

Not all of you agreed with my decision not to support the Teind. Some of you complained I asked too many questions. Some of you condemned my response as inaction, while praising support of sacrificing ourselves for blood rituals to a group who mercilessly slaughtered our people and laughed about it afterward.
I have no regrets. A leader asks questions. They investigate every avenue. They do not take the words of a few and hold it as gospel. We can take the word of the Nox'alfar that satisfying the Teind will end the supposed plague that is coming, but then we live with the consequences if it does not work. We can live in fear and make decisions by that emotion. Or we can decide that there is another path, and work tirelessly to uncover it. Just because there is no obvious other choice does not mean there isn't one at all.
Let us never forget what the Nox'alfar did. They slaughtered our people. They cast our King's soul away. Now they demand blood in exchange for weapons. They demand we once more enter marriage contracts with them. They have asked for a great many things, for very little in return. They say they cannot save the King - but do not forget, they are the chosen people of the God of Death, this Mother, the Queen of Endings and Beginnings. Their King may not be able to undo his curse, but he is the chosen one of the thing that can do it. The least they can do, is petition the Lady Death and seek to restore the King's soul back to him.
I recall the first Assembly, where we were thought to be foolish for seeking out the Nox'alfar in the first place. The purpose of our letter had always been to meet with King Calithex, or his representatives, and ask these questions. To seek answers. We were to do this as a united front, the five Great Houses in unison. Lady Dawn made the decision she did, but I will continue to push for the five Great Houses to make our next decisions together.
So you may disagree with my vote, the questions I asked. You may call me a fool, claim I have my head stuck in the sand. That is fine. I will take my licks gracefully, explain my position, and encourage all to continue to ask the questions I have. To those of you who disagree with me - who take to their White Journals and cry foul and insult - I encourage you to continue to speak. But remember that we are stronger together, remember that there is enough evidence to suggest that those who want to summon the Silence also intend to break apart the Compact, to set us upon each other, because they know we will be weaker for that.
I will not stand for us all to be used as pawns. And I will stand side by side with my fellow High Lords to continue the work Lady Dawn began, and ensure the Compact's safety.

Relationship Note on Niccolo
While the city-states of the Lyceum may argue and bicker amongst ourselves from time to time about who is in 'charge', it's reassuring to know we have a leader who is willing to make the sacrifice for the good of his people.
A good commander knows when their own loss will provide for the good of their troops and ensure that while the battle is lost (from their perspective) that the war may still be won. He knows that. He sees that. It's reassuring that he won't hesitate to make that hard decision.
We're at war, I've been saying it for a year now. Perhaps now everyone else will wake the fuck up. Perhaps now we can start fighting back.

Seriously, does no one think the Nox'alfar were petitioned for the King's soul? Why have so many people asked this? We have petitioned. /I/ asked, back in winter.
The sad fact is that the elves cannot end the Exsilium Noctis early.
It is like stabbing someone with a knife. You cannot then remove the knife, say you did not mean it, and have the wound suddenly vanish. Even if you might wish to.
Only divine intervention can end it early, and thus far, that avenue has not borne fruit.

No, I do not wish to be Regent and I never have.
My sentiment and belief in the need for a Regent, a single person that can make quick and decisive and intelligent decisions, still stands. While I believe that every man and woman who sits on the council are capable of each of these qualities, the /council/ is not.
