As Arx endures, we shall remember. We lose four shining examples of the best of us from the city, but I would trust few others.

The heart and soul combine to make a cauldron
Little can resist being melted down in the heat they contain
Not even our own selves.

I'm excited to be both a patron and a protege now. I'd mostly given up on the idea so it's a wonderful surprise. I hope these new associations will be fruitful ones.

Boldy stride forth looking to the chains that hold your path true.
Learn to love these chains.
They hold others in joy. They hold you.

Relationship Note on Arcadia
A northerner's beard is a special thing and when it is threatened it causes a unique pain that no one can understand.
Having your head smacked by the Bull of Solace himself in a sparring match, nothing compared to a beard pulling.
Having twins on the hottest day of the year in the Hundred cities, nothing compared to a beard pulling.
Being subject to the scorn of the White journals in the Capital, nothing compared to a beard pulling.
The Gods and Spirits bless that it wasn't ripped from my chin for then surely my soul would have left my body and been claimed by the Queen of Endings.

I do weep today, but not tears of regret.
I could not be prouder to hold you in my heart.
And I still have commemorative whiskey from your wedding and I'm going to keep it forever, until it's dust. Bless you, my friends.

I do not recognize myself in the glimpses I catch in windows and stream.
I am not the woman I was even six months ago, destitute and desperate. My hair grows longer, the list of those I trust grows longer, and with it all comes a yawning unease.
I no longer recognize this woman.
She no longer resembles me.

I miss you, though we never met.
I wonder how many were touched by your hand, an act of kindness or protection, and never knew.
I remember, and doubt that one flame held up against the stifling weight of history will be enough. Hardly worthy, at any rate.
A sorrow of paper-thin years fanned across the weight of ages.

I'm leaving and for the first time in over twenty-five years, will live outside of Arx. I go with the people I love the most. I know that everyone here will endure just fine in my absence.
But if the nobles could not slum around in the lowers and get themselves murdered I'm sure everyone would be happier.
Thanks.

The Midnight Ball of Death is in a few days and I'm quite excited - I will be co-hosting together with Princess Berenice and that alone is enough to make me walk through the city in a near dance - she is, after all THE socialite of the city.
Only the best for Death.
Additionally, we've secured no less than four vouchers from some of the city's best crafters; Apollo Oakwood, Talia Baseborn, Mailys Corsetina and Felix Meadson - my heartfelt thanks to them. Fifty thousand worth each as prizes in the various fun competitions throughout the night.

Lord Arik said I hit like a small child.
So I got him where it'd hurt the most. His Beard.
Lord Arik may drink me under the table, but I can make him cry like a little baby.

I split all the colors that were in my head onto a page. Now I have no more colors. All of the colors are gone.
My head is heavy as a stone,
I am empty and alone.

Sometimes, when things are very quiet and dark, and I'm lying awake but not thinking about things that worry or frustrate or anger me, I think instead about how ridiculously naive I was that first day I came south. I had exactly one dream and a thousand fears, and not one of any of those prepared me in the slightest. Not a single one.

Very much looking forward to co-hosting an event with my extraordinary protege, and getting to know the people of Arx better in the process! And giving out gifts. I think that will likely be my favorite part. So many shiny, shiny gifts.

I have spent the last six years of my life in the city of Arx. I fought and bled for it of it during the Siege against the Silence's armies. I wielded the Twain and carried House Riven's honor while serving that House within its walls. And I have discovered new wellsprings of my faith and devotion in my work as a lay disciple for the Templars, in higher service to Gloria. I have made many friends whom I shall hold in my heart always. And I have known love, and bore a child to continue my line within my tribe. I have lived what feel like a half-dozen lifetimes here, in those years, and I am a better knight and better woman for all of them.
I prepare now for a journey which shall take me far beyond these walls. I am not sure when I will return. I have put my affairs in order as best I can and know this is a step I must take for service toward honor and duty. I shall hold tight the things I love. And yet, I leave much behind I have loved, too. I hope t to look upon it again someday, if I am fortunate enough to see another half-dozen years.
Gods keep.
