Congratulations to Marquis Orvyn, Lady Liliana and all of House Harthall for their festive and surprise birthday party for my lovely cousin Lisebet. It was a moment of joy and happiness, in this cruel world.

As some know I am deeply connected with the Lodge and am a Prodigal. I hold no anger toward the faith for their recent decree. Although the situation with the lodge is complicated and delicate right now to say the least. We are closely connected with the land, including the spirits of the land. I am myself not actively a shaman, but maybe I am passively a shaman. I have not seen or spoke with the spirits, but they were worshiped by my family who is no longer living and I find myself unable to fully renounce them. I realize that price of such might be leaving the lodge. I was not god sworn or vowed, so it shouldn't be too complicated a process on the surface. That being said I have great love for the Lodge. For the help the have given me. For the work they do. For the path they represent. For their kindness to prodigals such as myself. For the land they keep. They have given me a home of true rest. A place for me to garden. They have given me healing. I gave them treehouses, swings, beds and flowers. Legate Orazio has given me official permission to still garden there and I do appreciate such greatly. I also appreciate Dame Leola greatly and I hope that with whatever happens she is allowed to stay in the Lodge. I believe in the gods and felt a god. I believe in spirits. I came to Arx not believing in the gods and following the spirits, but never on the level of a shaman. I was never a priest of the spirits or the of the gods nor I do attend to. Although I do plead for the Lodge that it be allowed to exist as it is and if I must leave, I will still love the lodge and I still give them benches and flowers.

We need artwork to display, and perhaps a memorable performance as well for the opening of Bold Espressions. Decisions, decisions.

I don't know quite what to write or what to say. I am sad and a bit confused. But - things happen as people make the best choices they can, at any given time. I believe that firmly, and hopefully over time I can refine my beliefs, with the help of those who are more knowledgeable than I am.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

You never had to be a paragon.

You just needed to be you. You’re /you/ and you stand for such amazing things.

Honestly? My eyes will probably be burning from crying tomorrow. I do understand, though.

People had best be glad I am married, or I am fairly certain the two of us would rule the merchant world.

We still might.

I thank the Gods my wife is fairly good with remedies, otherwise I might have ordered someone killed with this headache. I would have regretted it, but it would have happened.

Possibly

Relationship Note on Fredrik

I think that I have found another great conversationalist today, in the midst of conversing of all this mess with the Pantheon in the city. Fredrik is very knowledgeable, and had brought up many points that I didn't really think about myself. Still. it's difficult to say what so many I deal with think. But, the ability to have a level discussion with someone about difficult topics without defensiveness is a thing that I enjoy immensely.

When Godsworn become Godsworn, we vow to let nothing come between us and the Gods. This is why we are denied marriage, dependent children, titles and families. If we were allowed these things, in order to do right by them, our bond with the Gods would suffer. If we were to do right by the Gods, our bonds with our families, children, vassals would suffer. Neither option is acceptable for a Godsworn. That's why the Faith makes us choose.

Aleksei made a difficult choice. I am saddened to lose him in the Faith. I am disappointed to see another set of vows broken. But I am proud of him for taking up the responsibility of his child, and giving up so much to do it.

I have tried to live my life so that I do not find my oaths in conflict. I cannot imagine what it must be to encounter such a difficulty. Sir Morgan's recent conflict should be a lesson to all.

We had visitors come through Grihem's Point, and I was there with my Brother to greet them. The party accompanying Prince Victus took quite a bit of interest in our amphitheater, though I was struck particularly by how unsociable they were, I don't think any of them had any inclination of speaking with my Brother, my Sister, or myself.

I would ask how much you want, but thankfully family accounts are not mine to control. So I believe I shall instead thank you for your words, and promise to continue to prove worthy of such praise.

The religious shift regarding shamanism has been an interesting one and, I suppose, one that makes sense. It does give those affected a difficult choice, one that should have been made when their families bent the knee. My main concern, however, is that those who wished for discipleships are the ones more willing, if that's the correct term, to embrace the Pantheon and this may have soured that experience.

I am curious to see where things will go from here, but I put my faith in the Dominus' decision.

Business at the Corsetina Merchantile is starting to pick up, I think, I've had some fine sales, and interesting commissions, though I've been terribly lax keeping the shelves stocked. That I think will be a priority over the winter months, to make sure the shelves are full!

I had a rather interesting discussion with Jeffeth the other day, it was nice to catch up on old times with him, and hear some of his thoughts on what is going on. I'm not entirely sure his concerns are founded, though I suppose it can't hurt to keep my eyes open.

It is about time I decided on who of those that approached me I should agree to become Protege to, there are many good options however, and it will likely still take me a bit of time to parse through what they all offer, regardless I do not think I can keep these Princes, Princesses, lords and ladies waiting much longer. It will be a difficult choice.
