Congratulations, but remember, what I said holds true.
Don't fuck it up.
And I expect a lot of babies to spoil.

For our future records, as the great God Vellichor inspires us:
Many have strong opinions about the Inquisition, and at the time of this writing their reputation is improving from what it has been in the past. Still, truths must be recorded and so to that end It should be documented that the current Master of Questions, Prince Laric Grayson, continues to hold property that I gifted to my brother some seven months ago.
I've done well for myself, I was able to leave the life of the sellsword and find a craft, thanks to Kenemir's tutoring. Being one of the best lederers in the biggest city in the land has offered me a comfortable life. And so in my comfort I sought to help my brother who is not blessed with my talents or my luck. He's still a sellsword and, love him as I do, that is all he may ever be. So at great expense I invested in his future and he was gifted a very fine ax. The kind of ax that gets a man work and gets him paid well.
He's a rough man, and he's been in some fights and things, that's no secret. The Master of Questions suspects him for a crime committed over a year ago. So the Master of Questions (But apparently not answers) is holding this ax as evidence. This ax, that wasn't forged or gifted until half a year after the crime that they want to pin on my brother.
My brother is many things, but he can not, as far as I know, travel through time. No one can. Therefore, I have to wonder what reason Prince Laric Grayson really has for holding on to that ax, when it is clear to any man with any level of mastery over questions, that it can't be related to the crime.
Are we taking a step backwards now? Is this how corruption starts? Will my goods and wealth be safe from the Inquisition's reach?
Will yours?

What is good for the Arts is good for Bravura and good for Arvum, after all!
The artisans and artists of the Crafters Guild of Jayus are the visionaries that dream our future and imbue our culture with life and beauty.
I count it as a privilege to be able to help the Guildmaster in any way I can.

When the Crossroads Casino was built, Lord Amadeo and I discussed the Crafters Guild renting out a portion of space to showcase one-of-a-kind items and objects-of-art. As the rental agreement is indefinite, he's helping me break in the space with a fashion show to celebrate some of the greatest Crafters in the city, as well as some budding hopefuls eager to showcase their beautiful designs and growing talent.
I'm excited to see how it turns out! It'll be a chance for prospective patrons to look at potential proteges and for existing proteges to strut their stuff and stretch the talents.

The Guildmaster has put in that she is willing to donate to the Masquerade ball too! GOSH! This is going to be an event you /don't/ want to miss. Though I'm certainly not surprised to get a message from Joscelin about the Ball, she's a kind charitable soul that is always look to help a good cause. I look forward to see what sort of gift she's presenting for the Masquerade!

While I've never met the man, the caliber of his character shows in that he offered to donate items or his time to the Menagerie Masquerade Ball. That speaks well for this craftsman and I am looking forward to seeing a sample of his work at the Ball!! How thrilling!

I look back at all the events I've attended and hosted, and realized my favorite of all them was the Menagerie Masquerade. It was just a lot of fun, raised funds for a good purpose - which was to revitalize the Menagerie - and I could be whoever I wanted to be underneath the mask. It opened doors to new friendships and new relationships that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
Though this year, I'm hosting it for an entirely different reason than to rebuild the Menagerie. It's for the gardeners who lost their lives doing what they loved and how they lost their lives is a mystery that we will not let go unquestioned. Also, the Lodge of Petrichor has come under attack recently, a project I assisted with was trying to fortify it and build it stronger and safer for those who use it. The funds will go into ensuring we can continue that work.
Hopefully people will have as much fun with it as the first time we ran the masquerade. It's in a different location of the Menagerie this year, though we're prepared with canvas walled tents, lots of hot coca, and plenty of firepits to keep people warm throughout the event! That or the guests should need to use the dance floor to keep themselves warm. I recommend finding a superb dance partner for the evening too!
Most of all, I'm excited to see the masks and the gowns! So exciting.

You realize, after having a child, that despite having been a child yourself, that you knew nothing of motherhood, the mad miracle of finding your interior drawn from you, clinging and bawling and giggling and learning everything there is to learn anew.

Where's that spear you had? Seems to me, maybe - just maybe - that you'll need it now. If anyone deserves the profound contentment and constant headache of marriage to someone that makes you so happy that it's irritating to passerby - it's you.

Hah! My mother is a portly woman from the Chains, three inches shorter than me and I favor her greatly.
I can't imagine what it would have been like if my Lycene blood had called as strong. Would I be taller? My mother tells me I favor him in spirit, though. That resemblance I can't tell you too much of, but I'd like to think she's a little right.

My timing could have been better. I could have done this on your birthday. Perhaps that would have taken your birthday from simply 'good' to 'the best birthday ever'? But it is difficult to arrange schedules, and I would not be doing this if I hadn't talked to Ida and Morrighan first.
I suppose you can assume that those conversations went well. Not only am I alive (and not suffering from even a single stab wound, although many threats were made), but you'll soon wake up and find the gifts I've left you, sitting on the kitchen table.
You will know where to find me. Please don't make me wait too terribly long. It is still cold outside.

How happy I am to have seen my cousin! And on her *coughing fit* birthday, too.
What do you mean, you don't see the resemblance? Rude. Two peas in a pod, we are. It's just.. one end of the pod has skinny legs and the other a delightfully shapely rear.

Relationship Note on Sameera
You did not know me when you bought my debt. You heard my story and that was enough for you. We had never met until I found my way to Arx, and then you welcomed me as though I was your brother. You gave me a room and you offered me silver. You said I owed you nothing. But you were wrong. I owed you a life debt.
I can never repay it now. You are gone. I did not get to say goodbye. You were not an affectionate woman, but if you were here now, I would hug you and tell you thank you. Because if it were not for you, I would not have the future that I do.
The banker told me that you saved thousands of economic writs for the Coldrains. It is in your memory that I offered them to Lady Carita to assist in the rebuilding of Darkwater. I hope that they are used to help people like you and me - former Thralls, who did not ask for their chains, but are trying to make a better life for themselves now that those bounds are broken. It is the least I can do, for the life you gave me, to give the same to others.
I loved you as a sister, Sameera. Thank you for everything.
