I, too, have a Silas original from back in the day: a stunning dragon themed chest that is a showpiece of my shop. As valuable as my actually-commissioned painting by Master Fortunato. I feel pretty blessed to have such amazing pieces, along with the first pair of earrings Guildmaster Joscelin gifted me with. They are little bits of history that recall to mind mayhap simpler times, or what we thought were, and I treasure them immeasurably.

I'll forever and continually be impressed by our Champion Softest. She practically radiates the heart of a leader no matter her place, with the conviction and sense of purpose to spare.

High Lord Valardin and Thrax are right, of course. You can hire anyone you wish, and anyone can accept.
You really shouldn't, though, and I will say this every time it needs to be said. Read back through my Whites if you must, I've laid this all out before.
I've called for Champions, let's be done with it until Baron de Lire responds to the challenge.

Okay, trying to wrap my head around the most recent influx of anger.
Somebody picked their champion, but it wasn't from the champion's guild? I dunno, didn't seem like the duel was being fought over that serious of a matter, and it's not like anyone is representing themselves for a serious duel in the first place.
Eh, what do I know. I'm too sober right now to make intelligent comment.

The ability to hold to duty and function despite fussy twins, constant messenger distractions, physical discomfort and nausea, and the shadow of grief and feeling of loss and worry that conversations have persistently brought to mind shows me your lessons in strengthening willpower worked. Thank you.

On challenges.
I am a big believer in the Champion's Guild the fill a great service and do so upholding the highest standards of honor. You really should be using them.
That said, Duels have existed long before there was a Champion's Guild. It rose out of filling a need for many that were not fighters themselves to answer to challenges more easily. There may be someone you wish to represent you for a variety of reasons. You may wish to represent yourself. Now you really shouldn't, especially if it is over a relatively trial matter of pride, but if that is what you think your honor demands it is your right.
Basically we all have the inalienable right to make I'll advised decisions.

Let us not judge Baron de Lire too harshly for the misstep that he has made. He is yet new to his place in the peerage and likely paid little attention to matters of etiquette that we "Silks" engaged in prior to the acquisition of his title.

The first wave of new instruments have arrived at the College. The harp, the chitarrone, and the clavichord are now set up and placed where I want them. At least until work restoring the mosaic on the floor is finished, anyway, but that will take some time. All three are properly tuned. I wonder if it would have been smarter to wait until after the mosaic was finished to move them in. Archlector Wylla stopped by for her promised tour and approved of the place.
My guide to musical instruments has been submitted to the Academy and is now among the Cultural collection. The second copy is housed on the bookcase where the College will keep its music collection. The display cases for the instruments are slowly filling. A massive table has been installed.
Seeing everything coming together is greatly satisfying.

It's been years since I've seen that desk. Perhaps I'll make The Desk II to replace it within the Crafters Hall, so you can keep the original version.

I'm oddly curious if anyone would help me...
I have protégés... but, I'm certain it would be quite useful to have a patron to assist my education in social graces now that I'm a Duke of Rubino...
I could certainly use the benefit of a patron, even for the short term...

Greetings good people,
I've recently returned from my trip south, I'm looking to see if anyone would have any interest in historical architecture. It'll likely be a long term project and there may be some travel associated if details aren't discovered easily from the archives. If anyone has spare time in the coming weeks to aid me, I would be grateful for the help. I can compensate for time as well, certainly, if that is an issue.

I've been thinking about taking courses at the Tor College. I probably won't become a full student because of my many duties already, however it might be interesting to learn a little about gardening and alchemy from those that do work there full time. I'll likely try and find a tutor. I would suggest that people consider the college for their needs, it has some pretty wonderful teachings, and I've learned a lot about gardening and it really helps calm me.

I'm renovating the Crafters Hall to prepare for a larger project. I took The Desk. For safekeeping. All that construction, you know.
It's in my house now. I can't stop staring at it and touching it. All mine. I love this desk, it has your maker's mark on it from before you were Lord Commander. It's a collector's item at this point, has to be. It's all mine! And when I die I'll have it set up in the Gallery of Jayus so it may be marveled at as the piece of art it is.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I spoke with my sister-in-law today. She is part of the family now, we shared a few stories. Afterward, the High Lord managed to start a bit of a drinking cheer at the Spirits, then I saw a family reunion of sorts. So I thought, family.
I am almost six years my sisters elder. We were both born in Whitehold and I feel as if we never really met until Arx. I know many families, many people talk about their childhood with their family members. My childhood from the age of fourteen to the day of my majority was hunting and scouting and war. It was glorious and it was honorable and it was full of companionship. It was not full of family, not my kin anyway. No, my sister vanished into the woods and expanse of the North. Some might think I was close to Brianna, but we weren't as children. My cousin Seax, to young to have joined me in my early years. Even my distant cousin Wylla had run off for love of Jayus. My Father the Sword of Whitehold watched from afar, much like my Uncle.
It may sound bleak, but it wasn't. I had a family, I have a family today. We met, we ate, we learned... Well, Khanne and I learned, the elders they taught and they suffered our youthful troublemaking. If you asked me I could recount a dozen tales of times with my sister, but they were not any more special to me than time with a friend. Not then, not now.
I was named Sword of Whitehold and entrusted to protect my family, my people, and safeguard their honor. I was chosen by my father before he died and I remember very well what he told me. The secret to being a Sword. Love of family. In my youth, I saw it as loyalty to family, honor to the family, strength to the family. I took his words and I applied every virtue but love to the meaning he meant to impart.
As the years passed I stayed in Whitehold. Khanne came south, Brianna came south then north then south again, and my Uncle traveled to and fro. I stayed in Whitehold. I stayed for the people. I stayed because I had little interest in southern politics. I stayed because of loyalty and honor and strength to the family. Four years ago I broke with that tradition and came to Arx. I met my sister, a passionate young shaman. I write this truly it was not until four years ago that I stood a Sword of Whitehold for love of family and it was my sister's spirit and dedication to the people of the Compact that did it.
Should you ever see her, think well of her reader. Should you ever see me looking for her, have sympathy. I do but seek the sister I love but never knew.
