On a side note, the mirror thing at the Invocation? That was really creepy.

I doubt anyone expected a strong showing from the Redrains at the Princess Isolde's invocation; there's still so much insinuation that we're nothing but vicious savages. But came we went, me and Lady Lydia and Duchess Nadia as well, sitting in the front pews to bear witness and hope for the King to be returned to good health.
In all honesty, I felt a great bit of unease with how strongly the Acolyte spoke of the Thirteenth. I'm surprised there weren't more asses shifting on those damn uncomfortable pews. But there was something undeniably powerful in the way the Acolyte stood up there, so comfortable and content in her Faith, so adament about it all. I don't know if prayer can heal the King, but I know she thinks it can.
I took the blessing. I can only hope it does some good.

Relationship Note on Fawkuhl
The closest to the gods. This has a different weight than many imagine, who are most familiar with a liege of secular power; to be Dominus is bear not just power and responsibility, but the prayers of many thousands in your hands. A careless man or woman can crush them without a thought. Thankfully, Dominus Fawkuhl is not a careless man.

Vidar's pet. I owe her a trip into the woods to gather herbs. Once I determine what will work best for her request I'll get that on the calendar.

1 gram sea salts
5 drops oil of starfish
3 windstones, ground fine
2 vials of manticore poison
Maybe an ambergris base? Sea lion might work too if I can get it.

It has been an eventful week. I have not yet met with Lady Dawn or Princess Isolde regarding the medical conference from last week, nor have I been provided samples to study. That may be a lost cause, either a bit of political necessity in offering to help or the Highborn have found a more promising route. I cannot say.
The week hasn't entirely been a loss. There's at least some interest, in the form of Mistress Joscelin, for a new Guildmaster. I have not heard anyone object to her interest, and I've provided her my feedback, certainly. I doubt it was what she wanted to hear. If we can get the Silks to push for her, at least the Guild might have some voice to speak for us.
Benjamin and I were able to get the Saving Grace opened. I want to expand it when we can, adding in a proper wing for convalescence, and perhaps some personal rooms so I need to traipse half the city to get to my work. I can see the Temple of Lagoma from the front door and that brings me some peace.
And then there are the Nightgolds. They have made me feel quite welcome lately, and the Duchess has taken me as her protégé. I'll have to find a way to repay them for that kindness. I suspect it'll come in the form of patching up soldiers after Shav raids.

Tell me, scholar:
Do you think 'Lagoma's labia' a suitable replacement for 'Tehom's tits'?
Perhaps, 'Gild's gonads!' then.
Or 'Petrichor's pecker!'
'Mangata's magnanimous mammaries!
-oh, no worries, scholar, I can do this all day.
'Sentinel's scapulae!'
'Gloria's gall bladder!'
'Limerance's legs!'
'Vellichor's vagina!'
...well -of course- I'm going to keep Jayus out of that bit. I'm not a -complete- heathen, thank you.

I write this as the Acolyte, Favored of the Thirteenth.
Glory unto the Completed Pantheon, revered by all Faithful. May the Divine Thirteen bless our people, and may we restore the Compact to Faith.
The Invocation humbled even I, and opened my eyes to just how blind I had been. The people are hungry, from High Lords to low born, hungry for hope and Faith, and I am to reflect the Light into the Darkness to guide their way. The Thirteenth has been invoked, and no longer shall he remain outside his place amongst the Pantheon. Blessed be his Name, which we are not worthy to speak.
Through the Strength given to me, by the Triads and the Reflection, I offered blessing, in the sight of the Most Holy, Voice of the Pantheon, illuminated in divine light, amplified by reflections in mirrors. I weep in the memory, for never before have I seen anything so beautiful. Most came forth, proud and reluctant, bold and shy, and all received a blessing, guided from divine inspiriation. May the Invoked lend strength.
It is through Faith, and the Inspiration of the Completed Pantheon that our King may be healed. May Glory be to thee, oh Pantheon of Thirteen, and may the Compact and its people know greatness through you.
I am humbled to serve in such a capacity, and may I be a shepherd to the flock of the lost, that they may know Faith.
And so it is.

Relationship Note on Prospero
Having only spoken to the man via messenger, I didn't recognize Litigator Fidante until he introduced himself in person.
Eloquent, polite, gentile, but not pretentious, which I greatly appreciate. Our conversation was pleasant, I was actually disappointed to see him leave so soon.

Jayus seems to have smited me today. I noticed many tiny flaws in my ship figurines I hadn't noticed before, and my later attempts were only marginally better. I've picked the four best out of the bunch to send to Admiral Alrec; I can only pray they are sufficient for whatever purpose he intends to use them for. I confess they're designed in a uniform manner with only a few differences between each.
I need a drink.

Relationship Note on Darren
Another Prince thrust too soon into the role, and the circumstances of Prince Darren's raising grieve me still. When we first met, to my shame, I wasn't certain of him and I let him know it. Since then he has done everything and more to prove to me the weight of his worth both as High Lord and friend. I pray that he might one day forgive me for my early caution. Redrain is safe in his keeping, as it was in his father's; I hold him in high esteem.

Relationship Note on Edain
Prince Edain is a light in this world. Tragedy has led him to his place as it has led me to mine; he provides a constant example for how to shoulder the many burdens that come with responsibility. Too many feel that the strict honor of Valardin make them brittle as iron. In their High Lord, we see that it tempers them as with steel.
I trust him with my life but pray the day never comes when he must be responsible for that trust. He is a friend, and I want only good things for him.

Many have raised their eyebrows at the Prodigal brought into the Grayson fold by Princess Lou. I confess I was one of them. But he has proven himself to be an intelligent and perceptive man, highly attuned to those around him. My respect is not so easily won, my trust even less so, but this fellow has begun to achieve both through his actions.

While having an early evening drink and overseeing, from a comfortable distance, the last few hours in Arx of another crew set to sail in the morning, I met briefly with Lord Victus Thrax. He was taking a short respite from fleet business, and left soon thereafter on other business entirely. We discussed the practice of taking on crew from Arx, among other things, and he suggested one or two other routes to look into procuring more warm bodies from. It could prove to be helpful, so I make note of it here, publicly.

A regal and surprising noble woman who seems to welcome me to House Grayson. She is wary yet seems more than fair unto me thus far. A woman like her makes me wish to prove myself to her that I can be a valuable man, though I be by their standards lowest base born. She took me to a fancy supper at House Velenosa and I hope that I comported myself acceptably, though I was well out of my element.

Lady Calista Fidante, the Rose of Tor. Sister to the Duke Leo Fidante. While undeniably beautiful and alluring, as I've gotten to know her more over the weeks and months, I am even more impressed by her kindness and heart.

It's a genuine surprise that I didn't put two and two together when it was mentioned that a surgeon joined the illustrious ranks of the Champions. Suppose I forgot the name and didn't remember the face, which can happen.
Either way, pleased that the man who probably saved my sense of vanity and several important internal organs, is now in my circle. He's a gifted surgeon, or he was ten years ago or so, and his hands look as steady now as they were then.
