Thank you so much for your hospitality as always. Your serious countenance doesn't hide the compassion and kindness that live in the core of you, nor do I believe that they should. I am grateful for the opportunity to linger here with you in Grihem's Point a while longer yet, for I know it will be too long until there is a chance again.
I have taken in all of your suggestions, spoken and unspoken, for the years ahead. Saved all of the letters with advice about marriage, motherhood, Father Harald, Valdemar, all of the rest of your kin. I've asked the questions I wished to about your life in Grihem's Point, the dreams you had as a girl that have all come true and the sadness that you never expected to face.
My relationship with my own mother is complicated at best...and thus I've grown up without one, the love of extended family suiting my needs. Yet to have someone to discuss this strange new world with, the problems we face...the ways we can surmount them...it means a very great deal.
Thank you.
Your daughter Vanora

In my time with Thrax, I have come to know the Duke of Grihem's point. A man who is complex in heart as he is in mind. Whose actions at time run from expected, to ones that bring puzzlement. His land, his home is no different. No different than he. The sweet softness behind the sterness of his land and his people were in full show.
Song has never been hear that is so sweet as what was played within the amphitheater. No doubt, there were sorrow that the Duchess Consort was not well enough to show us that. Nor that the Duke was busy tending to her. His son is a suitable stand in, though is not the same.
it is one of the portions of the tour that I remember well, and I close my eyes and can hear the singing. I shall have to return when the Duke is at hand. Or at least, the Duchess Consort is well enough to receive us.

I have nothing to say about the Inquisition doing its job. I've got my own job to do, and I'm sure that whatever happened to that man in life, and whatever choices he made, Death will take him back all the same.

I am very proud of the men and women whose hard work and contributions led to this revelation. The Inquisition applauds House Valardin's humility and wisdom in requesting our aid and guidance, and we applaud their conviction in facing such an unpleasant truth as their ancestors would. Honor holds.
As a completely unrelated aside, citizens, do keep in mind the loud braying of an ass is most often driven by a guilty conscience. A donkey is a donkey and does not care to hear reason. They may come around in their own time.

Marquis Cirroch Sanna, Lord of Giant's Reach and myself have returned from the further mountain of the Everwinter. There we found a castle, Bonespire that is clearly built long ago. Workmanship that I have not seen the like of. My Lord Cirroch was less impressed but then he does live in a mountain himself and is more astute in assessing such things. The people there are not my people. Some who know me know I have a strong opinion on those people and lands that fall under Halfshav's demense.
No these people are of the mountain, they are far from Whitehold's territory and in truth they are to small a people to warrant the Liege Lord of my Uncle Duke Vercyn Halfshav, Lord of Whitehold. Thus it was my decision to defer their fate to our first and oldest vassal whom we trust in all things. My Lord Cirroch Sanna has mas his decision but he has not placed his faith. As all lieges stand in elevated position to their vassals so to does Sanna stand above Stahlben. Faith is not eternal, trust is not a given, in the Northlands one must continually earn one's place.
House Halfshav supports House Sanna in giving House Stahlben that chance. Whatever their actions, we wait and judge.

Relationship Note on Orathy
In my youth, I was married. It was turbulent on the best days and on the worst, we would spend weeks apart. It was during one of these times that my wife and young daughter were slaughtered by pirates in the Eventide Vast. Several months ago, I was delivered a message that suggested that my daughter may have survived this attack and is now known as the Sea Dancer of the Eventide Vast. In my heart, I want to believe that she is alive. I want to believe that she is still my blood.
Precaution and this recent lesson have taught me to consider otherwise. I would advise caution when you toss accusations on paper - for once they see that opening, darkness will try to take root in that doubt.

You are gone now, and I knew you were gone the moment I saw the stone fall. I ran to lift it, pregnant as I was, holding on to that little bit of hope that Marquis Ford and I could get you free in time. It was for naught. We wanted you to live but we knew you were gone.
I'm glad you enjoyed borrowing my leather armor, bright aubergine and lurid green, covered in musical notes. I know you loved music, just as I did. I sing prayers in your memory. May the Queen of Endings and Beginnings give you a new and harmonious beginning when your turn on the Wheel comes.

Or if ya were told yer best mate, lover, spouse, kid.. or whatever would be killed if ya didn't kill someone else... you'd do nothing 'n let yer family 'n friends die?
It all ain't so black 'n white as callin it merely choices.

That said? That was then, this is now, and people have died /recently/ because of him, apparently. We all have our choices. We all make our decisions. We all choose our sides. I don't know why he did what he did, or why he thought he should, or who put him up to it, but in the end, if that's the road he walked, that's the one he walked, and no amount of stupid bluster or assumed background changes that. Saying otherwise does everyone a disservice, him included.
