Please enjoy what you enjoy without worrying about what others see as in or not. Love colors. Love fabrics. Love art.

Trends may come and go, but classic style is classic and by no means boring. I favour classic designs that can be worn to multiple occasions. The key to building a wardrobe is versatility. While I would love to wear a new gown every day, that simply isn't feasible. Accessories make the outfit: build a collection of basic but beautiful jewelry that you can swap around and you cannot go wrong. And be sure to have appropriate clothing for the location you're going. Like many Whispers, I am often in upscale surroundings, though as a bard, I can find myself in rowdy taverns, too. Do not wear your ballgown to sing drinking songs unless it would be amusingly subversive. When in the Redrain ward, for example, leathers and fur are quite a bit more fashionable than seasilk and aeterna. And feathers. I do love feathers.
My outfits for grander performances tend to be more unusual and not necessarily appropriate for day-to-day wear. These are my statement pieces, meant to stand out, but even then, I try to purchase garments I can wear more than once. They are part of the performance.
Regardless, clothing can be considered an investment. Strive for quality over quantity, versatility over fads. I will also admit to liking silk very much, as it is readily available, relatively easy to work with, and makes for some absolutely stunning garments. Even yellow ones.

Relationship Note on Jayden
To say this is fortuitous is quite the understatement.
The interest and support in the College is phenomenal, and it moves with such speed as to make me breathless. I thought it would be a much more difficult path. The city is eager to fill a curious void.

Relationship Note on Violet
We're excited for the idea that within her, a little seed has taken root.
We cannot let the world dictate what we do with our lives.
Found ourselves last night discussing names before bed - and realizing how different Redrain and Valardin names are. There may yet be a compromise somewhere.
And no, 'Beech' in any form is not an option.

Relationship Note on Felicia
It is breath-taking and gorgeous.
I hope that Princess Reese enjoys it as much as she did her victory in the endurance test.
Felicia perfectly captured the cold of the water, while also holding the beauty of it. I am glad that she was willing to do this commission for me. If you ever have the chance to purchase one of her stained glass projects, I would highly recommend it.

All that we were has led us to where we are, but tells little of where we are going.

But before I was a Sword, a knight, a warrior, I was a follower of the gods of the Pantheon. The stories of Gloria my grandfather told me still sing in my heart when times are darkest. My faith was the foundation of my life after I bent the knee, when all else seemed uncertain. In my youth I considered becoming godsworn, but I could never reconcile my commitment to my tribe and want of a family with the demands of the priesthood. I have sought other ways to serve, especially as a disciple of Gloria. My appointment as disciple leader a few months past was one of the proudest moments of my life. But it also made me think long on my commitments, and my calling at this time in my life.
And so, I've decided to put aside the Sword, to focus on my work with the Faith. There are many fine knights in the Twainfort, and I'm sure one of them will serve Countess Mia and Count Thesarin admirably. While I shall perhaps never be able to make the full commitment those brothers and sisters of the godsworn do, I will be dedicating myself to my discipleship on a full-time basis. There is only so much a lay worshipper can do, but I can do more and want to do more. I hope this focus will aid the Templars as they rebuild after the grave losses at Stormwall, and aid my own soul as I explore my connection to Gloria and try to live up to her virtues.
In the coming months I intend to undertake pilgrimages throughout Arvum and get to know the people in the various Templar parishes throughout the Five Kingdoms. To understand how those of different paths and backgrounds embrace their faith, and to use my knightly service in aid of the common folk, regardless of fealty. I shall still work primarily in Arx, of course, with Sir Preston and Archlector Cassandra, as they would have me. And I can't leave my husband alone for very long. So, I shall be around. I pray I find good service with the realm and the goddess of war, so well as I can.
