I've finished moving everything to the Orangery. Harlan's present is just so lovely, and it's all coming in wonderfully, even the dahlias. It seems like the warm environment is quite good for them, which is not surprising.

Ginger cookies, bone dust, fat ass burns, sibling rivalry, gambling and first blood. Just another Rivenshari evening.

Southern Thunder appears to be doing well. I am looking forward to some of the new offerings coming from my brewmaster.
I hope the various new drinks are appropriate for the various palette's. I think the apricot brandy, as well as the various cordials will prove interesting. And of course, the new herbal liquor. I wonder if I should hold contests to name the new beverages.

Day Six,
Found a pub called the Black Fox, good ale, may have to come back to try there other booze. Also met a Prince, well he said he was a Prince but many people say many things. But he seemed a good sort, introduced me to another Smith. This town is looking up as far as business goes, need to go and see the Craftersguild Master soon don't want to be in trouble for not being polite.

For the record, whatever Furen Culler did with this family while I was serving as a guard for hire, I am not Furen. I worked closely with many nobles in my youth and now, as head of the family, I understand very well their place (as well as ours) in this world.
Whatever Furen Culler was, I am a humble leatherwork and teacher. I care for dozens upon dozens of orphans, providing them shelter and an education that will allow them the same possibilities my training offered me.
As for my family, we can't control who you're related to can you? Down here in the lowers we don't have the burden of political marriages and so there's probably three figures worth of Cullers if I had to reckon it. Some of us serve the faith, some the crown. Dozens of us fought at The Pit in the war of silence. I don't have no legal power to force my kin to do nothing, but I can continue to set a good example and do right by our king, who I think is a fine fellow.
Don't think I haven't been asked to swear my oath to another, but I swore to the Crown and I intend to continue to honor our king by doing what I can for the common folk what need help.

Day three.
Finally found house Seliki, it is a nice place though I am kind of glad I don't have to live such a big manor. To many rooms for my taste, need to work on finding a place for my own shop.

I have been accepted into the Apothecary College and look forward to learning what I can under the tutelage of the renowned Mistress Valery and the intriguing Cybele, as well as the other instructors and my fellow students. Time spent in the gardens of the Redrain Ward has inspired me to have part of the grounds around Stonewood Keep re-purposed into a small alchemist's grove where every plant and tree will have its use beyond being decorative.

Relationship Note on Valerius
Book,
For those that read these things and know my brother, he is beloved by me and is a great man. Anyone who sees him should buy him a round and toast the protege of my charming ways, what will Arx do when we are both retired from the game?

Preparations are being made, supplies gathered, soon we will sail for honor and soon we will sail for pride, both of these things are important in their own regards. Both will be successful and bring glory to Thrax. Once these missions are complete, I can focus on strengthening the effectiveness of our command units and thus improve our already mighty military.

Relationship Note on Ignacio
I must give credit where it is due and offer praise when it is deserved. When we were both younger and living in Tor, Ignacio was known for his many, many pranks. Though I was only a few years younger, his mastery of mischief was always to my delight. Who would have thought all those years ago I would be a Duchess and he would be my Voice?
He has gone above and beyond the call for me and for that I am forever grateful.

I don't think I'm the best teacher in anything. Especially not in singing. I just listen to people who are good at it and try to sound like them. But I know of several very good singers, Gianna is one. Maybe she could teach both of us to sing.

With the coming weather comes a return of things to the shop; a lit hearth, a supply of alcohol. Despite all appearances, the shop is open for all to come and share their tales and conversation.

Regarding Master Torian's dilemma about the goat and the commoners - really this is not much of a dilemma. Jurisdiction is by far the most simple part of our law, if such a word could ever be used for matters of law. In each and every case, it is the lord who was wronged by his servant, even if the servant is sworn to another now, who has the right under the Gods to demand justice. As the criminal was sworn to him when the act was committed, his new liege must turn him over for judgement, and may, if he chooses, declare his vow of fealty void. Few lords would risk open war with another house over a goat thief.
As for the reputation of the liege when a vassal commits a crime - I know who the Cullers are and what you're about. Do your actions smear the reputation of our King?

I was ambushed. It wasn't really me, so much, but I was in the group of Mercies that were ambushed. It was very exciting, by which I mean it was terrifying. And exciting. I hit someone in the face with an apple. It didn't do much good, but it slowed them down a little.
Besides me, it was mostly the Knights of Solace who did all the fighting and defending us from the attackers. It was a very strange attack, and I wonder who could have been behind it. I'm very grateful for our escort, even if it was very unpleasant to watch people being killed. Even if they were bad people trying to kill me. I'm glad it was me and not them, but it feels bad. Fortunately I was able to save one, at least.
I have to learn how to defend myself, meaning how to duck and hide and run away from a fight. I already have a lesson planned, so hopefully next time I'll be a little more ready for it.

Courtkeep may not be the most glamorous of the holy feasts, but it is definitely as important. The Just God demands just actions, and sometimes just actions are difficult to accept. Justice often flies in the face of our darker impulses, especially when it demands inaction when we thirst for vengeance. In preparation for Courtkeep, I ask the city simply to meditate on those you feel have wronged you, and how the Faceless God would view how you've treated those people.
Are your actions just, or are they twisted and dark reflections of what they should be?

She felt so betrayed but didn't speak a word.
Afraid what was said might be misheard.
Screaming the pain she felt but no one could hear.
Her insides were dying tear after tear.
She is friendly with anyone, but yet so alone.
The fake smile she wears how could anyone have known.
The pain, hurt, and betrayal that she feels inside.
Feelings she can't deal with so she tries to hide.
Not knowing what to do, how to feel or were to go.
She can't put her guard down, she can't trust a soul.
Everyone thinks she is happy with this act she puts on.
Yet she cries almost every night till the break of dawn.
She is trying to find herself through all this confusion.
As soon as she thinks she found it, its just an illusion.
Trying to understand why people do what they do.
It always ends up she hasn't got a clue.
