I had to go to the masquerade, even though I am told I am ready to give birth at any time. Still, I had to go see, and I am very glad I did. Everyone - whoever they were - was spectacular in their costumes. The designers, tailors and seamstresses did themselves proud.
I only wish I could have stayed until the end.

I may have had a series of strange confluences that ultimately lead to me being appointed admiral. If anyone out there reading this would like to build some connections by becoming something of a mentor on the seas to get me up to snuff there, please reach out. I intend to make my family quite proud.

I am somewhat baffled that anyone would be surprised that the Grandmaster of the Holy Knights of the Temple would opine on Gloria and her wants and desires, her opinion on events, on the demands of the Gods. It is quite literally the job of the Godsworn to guide our people on this, and the Faith are the representatives of the Gods here on Arvum. The Most Holy is the Voice of the Gods. It is perhaps more worrying if disciples of the Faith fail to understand this.
These reasons are why Godsworn do not duel often, and never on matters of the Faith - because it is so serious. It is why the Godsworn are inviolate. It is why the Faith is inviolate. To raise your hand against the Faith and its Godsworn is to raise your hand in rebellion to the Gods.

So much deadly beauty in such a colorful array at the flower ball. The rain of petals was...
Aha, I have decided to keep those thoughts for myself! If someone was not there to see some of the spectacular things, to leave some things unsaid will perhaps encourage them to attend another time even if to be a simple wall flower.

Hindsight is many things. Clarity. Retrospect. Reflection.
Hindsight does not banish crippling embarrassment, merely replays it again and again and again and again...

There is a certain amount of discussion in regards to champions, trials by combat, and on the differences between the peerage and the commoner. On that, here is what I will say.
Champions may take up whatever cause they feel is just. There is no shame in asking them, nor in them performing their duty.
I am no expert of law, but I see no reason why in a trial by combat one could not find someone to fight for them. Not all are fit for combat, nor should they be. But they should be allowed to call to Gloria to determine their guilt or innocence.
There should be a level of respect between commoner and Peer. I have seen several instances describing that a commoner should not strike a peer. Indeed. a Peer should also not strike a commoner. Though at times violence does have a habit of breaking out. But if you strike out at someone, perhaps it is best not to rely on the moral principles of your station. It seems you have already taken matters into your own hands.

We all dance to music throughout our lives. It flows through us with each breath and beat of heart. We may not hear it or feel it, but it is so.
We never know when our song will end. So let us enjoy this dance while the music plays.

Relationship Note on Rinel
It is concerning to me that Goodwoman Rinel questions Lord Alessandro Greenmarch's qualifications as a magistrate over something so very pedantic in such a public manner. It is not a stretch to associate the Sentinel with a trial of any sort and it distresses me to see such a contrived attempt to sully the reputation of a man who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice. Shame on you, Goodwoman.

I've found myself longing for the sea once more, to feel the rock and sway of a boat beneath my feet. To smell the salt air and see the horizon stretch limitlessly before me. Watch as the waters both swallow down the sun with the fall of dusk and births it anew in its fiery radiance come dawn. To tread distant shores and revel in discovery and reacquaintance.
It is an itch that will not abate and soon, so very soon, I will have to satisfy it. Even if I've only just returned.

Who knew that the truth could come in so many varieties, all spread by the same mouth, and such waves these many stories create. Such talent-- or inspiration-- in manipulation surely hasn't gone unnoticed or unappreciated by those who inclined to watch for such things.

Champions are not beholden to stand for anyone who will ask them. And when it comes to trial by combat, we usually have a higher standard for how strongly we need to believe in a person's cause. And for good reason: there's a difference between petty slights and actual crimes, even if they're the small sorts that Champions might still be asked for. (Once the crime is a serious, capital offense, it's no longer our place.)
If a Champion doesn't believe a person innocent of a crime, then, morally, they shouldn't stand on their behalf in trial by combat. These are not duels of entertainment.
