An exceptionally entertaining evening at the Keaton's autumn festival! That maze was a thrill, and congratulations to my partner in crime, Lord Sebastian Pravus, for placing second. I've been given the pleasure of naming the pup he won. I am open to suggestions and bribes.

Relationship Note on Artur
You were a dashingly amazing escort, even though I have a feeling you did not truly wish to escort me. I told you it would be fun and it was. You saved Mistress Petal from the pink chalk arrows and then you literally.. literally swung in to save me out of no where from falling in the mud and just falling in general.
Oh it was amazing. You were amazing. Everything was amazing. You got a goat too. Then you walked me home before duties called you away. Thank you for being a Princely escort. Thank you for getting us through the maze.

Tonight was aaa-maize-ing. That's right. I won a goat! Not a puppy (looking at you Sebastian). However, I am going to have a kid. I mean sure it will have four feet and bleet, but still, it will be mine. It was a wonderful event which leads me to...

My thanks to the Keatons for holding their fest, and their games.
It's a night needed.

They were not at all what I expected. I write this while pleasantly surprised. Not that I'd tell anyone at all. I think I'll enjoy the time in my forge in the future.

Relationship Note on Lycoris
My condolences, Marquessa Lycoris. Although the pain never quite fades, I am sure House Hawkmour will keep thriving, and continue to grow under your leadership, now needed more than ever. Remember you are not alone.

I am continually amazed at how deeply the people in this city and beyond care about each other. So many people have such vast and wonderful ideas as to how to help those less fortunate and I am incredibly moved each and every time one of them reaches out to me for help. Especially during times when the news seems so dire and dark, it helps to be reminded that there are these incredible forces for good in our world who are just normal, every day people doing their best to help!

I've received several invitations over the past few days. What a festive time! Perhaps everyone is excited for winter being right around the corner. I will need to procure some seatouched wool and get something new made.

Now that I have some free time, I realize just how in dire need I've desired it. After spending so much time in the Oathlands, I have returned to Arx to concentrate and centralize my affairs and duties in the city. I also realized I have not had a day off in what feels like months. I will hope that Gloria will understand a moment of respite.
I found myself at the Keaton's Autumn festival. Not the place where I expected to be, but it was a surprisingly enjoyable time. Feels like a different life since the last time I felt myself smiling for the trivial fun.
I should make a note to do that more when the free time allows itself.

This was too much of a theater production to suit my tastes. I don't see how anyone's honor was assuaged by the performance. I was not the only one who thought there was not enough blood, but was probably the only one that voiced it. This is why I am not champion knight.
Those at odds were satisfied, so I guess it worked out.

Book,
I find myself spending lots of time in my office right now, to the neglect of over aspects of my life. I am reviewing training materials, issues orders for maneuvers to be conducted and reviewing all manner of requests and reports from the military. My entire focus is on getting the most recently released Thralls up to speed, increasing their skill and improving their overall efficiency while I address the social issues among our men as well. This is a trying time for us all and now unity is more important than ever.
Should anyone stumble upon this journal that spends a good deal of time in prayer, I would never turn down an extra word in my favor.

It would not be a good week if I did not engage in at least one scandal.
I laid across my Duchess' desk and heard the words I have longed to hear since I fled a decade ago. It is worth my undying loyalty. It may yet be worth my heart.
If that was not scandalous enough for you, how I plan to celebrate my birthday will be. I will get what I want on land every bit as much as I do when on sea. I will not forget any who try to stand in my way, who scorn or look down upon me. Wanton hasn't been washed in blood in far too long, we are hungry.
Final note: Jumping off the Duchess' balcony is painful, for the morbidly curious. If you heard her screaming last night, yes I did it, but that isn't why I jumped.

Each day brings newness. And oldness, but also newness. That which was continues to be, but changes, ever so slightly.
It reminds me of the old philosophical question.
I have a ship. One of the planks along the bow becomes damaged and as a result needs to be replaced. Is it then the same ship as before? If not, is anything ever the same as it was? If yes, at what point does it become something new? How many planks must be replaced until that threshold is reached.
There is change in the Compact, yet it is still the same. The same struggles, but on a different scale.
I fear that the scale will soon be known by more than just a few.

Since the day our father was murdered we have not seen each other, but it is a sorrow to hear murder has taken another loved one from her. I think that our family is not lucky. I hope she finds strength in the days to come and does not wither beneath this blow. I should send her some trinket or another from the horde for condolences.

The level of determination and drive in the Lyceum is awe inspiring. I doubt there is anything a Lycene could not do should they wish it so.

A new project looms -- not a play from my own quill this time, but an old one that tells a tale of a hero that has somehow slipped through the pages of our history. There are many challenges to staging it, but I am sure they will be overcome, for it is a tale that is worth telling. She is a person worth remembering.
I embrace the challenge. For Axia.
