I won a gauntlet race scholar. No not THAT one. There was no fucking ROPE! Otherwise the outcome may have been different. It was an enjoyable time, as I was able to train and drink at the same time. And the coral is beautiful as well...

Relationship Note on Graziella
Princess Graziella has become a beacon for the most faithful among us. On these difficult days before the fleets sail, her devotions to the Pantheon give House Pravus strength and focus. Today I needed that reminder, and her prayers were there at the ready.
May the gods sail with us, and may Graziella be remembered by them for her faith.

Relationship Note on Duarte
Count Duarte Amadeo is, to my outsider's eyes, the full promise and potential of the Lycene. I will admit I misunderstood him. I may still. In his way Count Duarte fills his role with the boldness and devotion of an Oathlands knight. His mind is his own - independent, perceptive, challenging. A lesser man would choose the easy path.
"Loyalty knows no bounds" are House Amadeo's words. I believe it and am grateful for it.

It is an incomparable pleasure to meet with brilliant individuals, discuss difficult topics and walk away with a workable solution. I am genuinely blessed to have such remarkable people in my life, and I am eager to see the work we've begun put into practice.

I have long been away from Arx, tending to my people and my lands as a Marquis should do. Especially in times of strife. But with war fast approaching I had best return to the city. I wonder what things have changed

Worry not - this abyssal cat has her claws if she has need of them.
Certainly an enjoyable spar, Lord Teague.

This afternoon, I had the great pleasure of hosting the Prodigal Games on the beach with Marquessa Norah Eswynd. There was a mast carry, a warrior gauntlet, and oar running! Of course, there was also plenty of stout to go around and prizes for the winners! I'm especially excited about the prizes because the three winners are the first people outside of Eswyndol to own our island's rare and gorgeous Deeplight Coral. The winners were Dame Felicia Harrow (mast carry), Lady Thea Malvici (warrior gauntlet), and Samira Culler (oar running). Congratulations are in store for all three if you see them around. I'd also like to thank and congratulate the other participants: Lord Wash Kennex, Lord Drake Wyvernheart, Lady Maya Redreef, Duke Ryhalt Farshaw, and Yrsa.

Suddenly, the next day seems a little brighter, even if I need to wait and see what happens next.
I should have left that statement well enough alone, shouldn't I, Scholar? It's positive and light-hearted and the most optimistic I've been in -- months? Months, I think. I should know myself to add to this, not leave well enough alone, and finish this entry with a dose more realism. So --
Tomorrow may not be better. But it's still tomorrow. A tomorrow in a world where we're not always given that chance. If that's not a bright spot -- don't know what is.

I wonder if anyone else means to send something to someone, like say a cake, and find by the time they send the cake there seems to be a peice..or two missing, and they have crumbs all over their dress? There is something to be said for dresses that cover your chest. Much easier to brush off. Not that..I would know. Or anything.
I should go buy a cake...

Perhaps they sent you soap because they made it and they wanted you to have something they'd personally made? They liked the scent or it made them think of you?
I've sent people map cases, care packages, 'stop hurting yourself' gift baskets... things that I could make with relative ease, or design and have made to my specifications. Come to think of it, I think the Beards & Brews championship belt I made one year is still floating around....

Relationship Note on Sydney
She fights like a hellcat, quick, barefisted with passion and speed. It was one of my longer spars, in the end she got me. But it was a good fight. I see why she is champion now, to out drink her next. Even if I lose there it will be a good night, I feel.

Relationship Note on Porter
He is a good man. Hits like a runaway cart. Laughs loudly, enjoys the world around him. This Knight is a good sort. I hope to get him more in my time here, maybe even call him a friend. I have few of those, that I allow myself to have.

Do I smell? Someone left me soap. A few bars, at the door to my forge. I gave myself a sniff and I think... I'm fine. I think. I need to ask others. It's nice soap though.

Mother,
I am to study at the Apothecary College. No, I know it is not a properly boastful occasion, but it is one I am proud of all the same. I am putting myself out there, scars and all.
And you know what, mother? I am being welcomed. The people of Arx are so very unlike those of my childhood. They let me in their games.

I've been on a quest looking for the oddest paintings, and it has yielded some excellent results thus far. A few more and it ought to be enough. Though can you ever really have enough?

Relationship Note on Kenjay
To be a Liberator, one must also swear themselves to the whole of the pantheon. It isn't, from what I have been advised, just about liking Skald and standing for Freedom. It is standing for the whole of the pantheon as well. I will gladly put the whole of my being and my skills to further the cause of Freedom in this world... But I am not so much a liar to claim that I am pious enough to swear to uphold the whole of the pantheon's ideals.
Perhaps that is why there aren't more Liberators.

Romari Corsetina,
How is it that I miss you, when you haven't even been born yet? Lately, things have been difficult. I feel as if I run into one roadblock after another. I feel like this are one frustration after another. As if they are one heart break after another. I feel as if I have only half a heart to give you. You are the dream I wish for at night when I look up at the stars. You are the future I am waiting for. I have so much to do to prepare for you. I hope that I will be a good mother. I hope that this half heart will be enough for you.
Your... someday mother,
Mirari

I don't have anything clever to say. You were always better at that.
Knowing little of you, I at first reviled you, but the more I saw of you, the taller an order that became. We stood shoulder to shoulder when the Cathedral came under attack. Did you overexert yourself, or was it simply your time?
Death has a sense of humor.
I suppose you taught me that, even if I hate the lesson.

Dearest Sister,
You have grown so much in your time away even more in your time back. You have picked a path, I'm proud of it. I think you will become an amazing healer, someone this city will be proud to know. Your heart is kind. We will support you, guide you if need, and protect you. But for now, you have proven you can stand on your own. No longer my baby sister, that mother brought home when I was grown. You are now a woman that will make her mark on this world. Go out there, make the world your oyster, and if it snaps back, I'll destroy it.
