Causing trouble with my cousin-in-law is bound to bring on more adventures, not sure if Arx is ready for the pair of us.

Everyone is discussing the added danger to the Champions of a first blood archery duel, but it also seems to me that this would be a real disaster in the making for the audience. Every missed shot is a potential first blood in the throat of some fool who just came to see a good fight in Gloria's name and sat in the wrong seat.

I wanted to believe the rumors about Prince Anze's death were just rumors...
It makes me quite sad.
He was one of the first people to actually see me and talk with me...

Oh, and on the subject of archery champions duels....first blood tends to be rather permanent if it goes in the eye. Or the nose. Or the throat. And it is amazing how well an arrow can punch right through metal. Though I suppose with a sword you can also hit those places, but it somehow seems safer. I guess because the more armour you are wearing, the worse you are going to shoot if it is metal. So.
Still, it should be entertaining - and /that/ is the important thing about duels. Solving the dispute, entertaining the people. It would be kind of dull if they just safely tickled each other.

Thank you to all for the messengers of congratulation - I hope equal numbers of condolences were sent to Lady Amari for being lumbered with me.
Marriage is a duty, it forms bonds of alliance between houses - in our case bonds between Keaton and Tyde, between Oathlands and Thrax. But. Sometimes duty can be pleasurable and gentle, and in Amari I have certainly a friend, but I hope in time more.
I am glad that we have this period of courtship, an old tradition that seems to not be in fashion at the moment. I'm glad that a marriage deal was reached. And I'm glad that Tyde has new friends.
We fall. We rise.

There will be a lot of times when you will have to make sacrifices. The battles you have won and its rewards are ultimately worth nothing if the survival of your house is not ensured. Those interested in the business of Blanchard's stables, my sacrifices are my own to make and I can ensure that business will continue as usual if not better considering the accomplishments we have reached in such a short time.

I'm planning the First Annual Gilded Page Literary Competition!
The categories will be Fiction and Non-Fiction and of course there will be prizes! Spectacular prizes!
One submission per author and pre-published books are acceptable for submission. There will be no mystery authors allowed in this particular competition, though authors' names will be kept a secret (at least by me) until the competition concludes.
The judging will be done by popular vote. Anyone may come into the Gilded Page and cast their vote for their favorite tome when the competition official starts, until its conclusion!
Copies of ALL books submitted to the competition will be available for purchase during the contest, with all proceeds donated to the Faith, as per the Gilded Page's usual policy.
WRITE ON!

I liked my silly life the way it was, but spirits sometimes speak through the appropriation of strange substances and in one such, I saw a change neither sought nor desired. Safe in harbor and now half-restored, I can't say that I've any better understanding... but I have caught sight of at least a gradual liking for this new life, too.
Plus, I love my new bow! It came with almost no strings attached at all!

Honestly, though -- I know those philosophical meetings are just reasons to chit-chat, shoot the shit around, and get dee-light-fully drunk -- but. But. HUGE But. The nature of truth? In this city? REALLY. That's a knee-slapper. Thank you, Guildmaster.

Audric says we are the dogs of Velenosa, we are who you meet when you have moved past the point of the subtle games played within the Lyceum.
Suggests a lack of subtlety on our part doesn’t it?
I could say more but... just imagine my laughter instead; loud, braying, and perhaps a hint barking.
I’m not laughing with you.

Relationship Note on Anze
When I first came to this city I met, then a Prince, Anze. We drank. We trained. And in the strange that is this city, I felt something akin to the normalcy of the North. He helped me adjust to proper city life, but also helped remind me that the North is where ever I go.
Our paths crossed several times since those first days, but never long enough for my liking. I will always remember drinking and the laughs shared. I will always remember the thumpings in the training center. And I will always remember him being there during that blasted battle of those damn wasps, where if he wasn't there I would have likely gotten my arm severed off.
To The Last, Anze, I will never forget you.

On the subject of duels and good ideas: please do consider making sure you have a healer or physician on hand before you begin a duel taking place somewhere without staff on hand. Seconds are important when someone is in danger of bleeding out.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
