The Gold Order has many fine individuals, and Dame Leola must surely be prized at the top of the list.

The wool has been pulled over the eyes of House Keaton. They believe things that are not true.

Today I got my best new dress on and went out to have my first real noble ball experience! It was a little bit scary. If it wasn't for the fact that I met a few people at poetry night I would have been overwhelmed by everything!
At first I thought perhaps I would be totally outclassed, but everyone was so nice and kind. And being able to tell a story does come in handy!

I have signed up to assist house Crovane with transporting refugees back to Stormwall and their lands. It will be nice to be back aboard a ship again and sailing upon the seas. I am hopeful that any troubles we encounter at sea are those that we can easily manage, and find our way out of.

To those who may read this (and I suspect more than a few will, as it is a somewhat grand occasion, as even I'll admit, for once), I apologise. I'm not the best spoken of individuals, and I can write, but don't ask me to write a speech. That's what this requires, though. So. To those who read it now; yell at me. To those who might read it in the future; I'm so sorry, you deserved a better class of farmer.
Perhaps I've given you one.
The Lodge of Petrichor has spread across the land. What was originally a seed of an idea, of a way to help the Compact enjoy the blessings of Petrichor and enforce his word of Dominion, has become a reality in ways I barely ever dreamed was possible. My desk is filling up with missives and reports and requests from half a dozen domains, all across the Compact, and I am smiling as I respond, as my assistants, Lindsey and Innozentia, annotate and reply and bring things to my attention, that I barely had time to write a journal for the future. I was reminded it was my duty to Vellichor, and so, here it is.
For a thousand years, the Compact has been slowly beaten back. I do not apologise for saying this. We have faced terror after terror, threat after threat, and our history is one of remarkable tenacity. I think of all I know of history and I want to weep, but instead, I turn my tears to a better use. We have lost so much of Arvum, as we have been Abandoned by those who once swore oaths with us. We have lost so much of our history. The Lodge of Petrichor, if it does nothing else, will be attempting to reverse this.
We will, of course, offer our aid across the Compact. We do this already. We teach agricultural techniques to farmers. We'll help their animals and breed fine lineages and bloodlines for them, to better feed our people. What might be our most telling achievement, though, is our hunters. We know the woods, and the wild places still are so dark, and so dangerous. Tonight, in many places, they are safer than they've been in many years, many decades, perhaps centuries. We are watching, and we will make the Compact safe. We will protect the people of Arvum.
This is the word of Dominion.

It has been wonderful to have projects to work on, it seems soon we will be heading to the new island we have secured for Navegant. I admit I am curious to find out what all is there on land. The pragmatist in me, knows there will be a lot of work and trouble ahead for us as we work to settle the island.

It's good to adventure with one's best friend. It's been too long and we should do it more often.
Notes for Future Adventures:

* Snorkeling tubes were useless.
* BRING ASHUR.

Relationship Note on Leola
It is a stunning realisation to have, knowing you have been part of creating history.
I shouldn't be surprised, really. Dame Leola Allenatore, Paladin of Groves, Daughter of the Woods, Rider of Whale and Porpoise...
Really, I could go on for hours listing her accomplishments, and still have a ways to go.
Since coming to Arx, we've shared a bond, I'm proud to say. My love for the gods is deep, and working with the Dame was pleasing to me. And it culminated in this. Months of trips, speaking to varied folk. Convincing lieges to allow the use of their land. Watching the construction, hearing the word "Leolan Lodge".
Hearing the speculations.
Dame Leola Allenatore has become immortal, in a way. Her legend and touch on the compact will echo for generations. And all the people who aided her, whose lives she touched and touched her in turn, have my gratitude.
Now I need to start working on a design for a memorial statue commemorating the project.

Forgettable? Me? Harrumph. Well, maybe due to the circumstances that is excusable 'this' time. Too much glitter flecks must have blurred your vision, along with several glasses of rum. All is forgiven though after the kind escort home from the shrines.

My meeting in Tragedy reminded me of the great man that raised me. He may have long left this world, but I will always carry his words with me for as long as I live.
"Some must suffer so that others will not, my girl. Those with privilege, wealth and power have a moral obligation to be the ones to shoulder that burden.
You should never stand by and do nothing.
Even the times where you feel that you can do nothing, you can still suffer. Suffer at the injustice of the world and suffer with others so that they do not feel hopelessly alone.
Suffer loudly, suffer proudly."
When I was younger, I believed his words to be literal, but now that I am older I realise that I was wrong. Leave it to my old man to make the mere act of helping others in need sound so melodramatic.
