Run off with a traveling....My word, you really don't get the whole 'I'm here until we die or kick me out' thing, do you?
Love you, you little frigid thing.

I'm not a writer or a scholar or a poet, or whatever. But there are times when I need to throw some words at the whites, and this is one of them.
Thank you, Commandant Violet Marjawn, for being a skilled teacher, an inspiring leader and a great friend to me. Without you, I don't think I would have managed to find my feet here. I extend these thanks to all my fellow Blades, and of course to Lord General Tobias Telmar, wherever he may be.
House Keaton, thank you for giving me another place to call home. I'd name you all, but you know that I regard you all in the same vein. Suffice to say your generosity is endless, both towards myself and others like me who live in your lands. I've never felt as though I'm just a commoner in your household, nor just a servant. I consider myself lucky to be a friend to your family, and also to others who maintain close ties to the house, including Sir Norwood Clement.
Of note in this, Lady Tessa Moore, thank you for your constant support and kindness. Acorn Hill rules, even if I chose not to stay. Cheese rolling, ferret-legging and pumpkins forever.
To my husband, Jonathan, thank you especially. I'm not a easy person to deal with. I hope we live long enough to see our grandchildren born, if you haven't run off with a traveling merchant by then, or some such. I would not blame you. For now, I'm happy to be a Fieldstone, and I look forward to getting to know your family.
I've probably forgotten someone. If so, apologies. I'll send you a gift or something. Anyway, gone on too long, so I'll end it here.

What a day. So many revelations. I sit here now with this bottle of wine and a glass that constantly needs refilling, not knowing what to make of all of them but to repeat:
What a day.

Is apathy getting the better of me? Another day, week, month in the city. There aren't enough trees. It's too warm. I find it hard to summon the will to be productive. I long for winter.

... you doing it? You writing down every word like I told you to, Jared? Every single one? Jared? Jared, you writing this down?
Good.
You're writing this, right?
Good.
Okay, so here's what I want you to bring to the Scholars. Write up - write up something talking about how great tonight was. You were there, you know how much fun we had. With Ailith. For Ailith. And the King. And the pub crawl - pub run? - pub crawl that we were all doing. With the singing, and the dancing, and the storytelling.
Yeah.
And tell them that if people read this and want to have a fun night on the town, they should ... they should hire me.
Good night, Jared.
Write that down.

It's glorious. Even more beautiful than I'd ever dreamed. Master Jayeth Black is a master of his craft and anyone who wishes to know it need only seek the center of the hedgemaze outside Greenmarch Lodge to witness his mastery.

For any venturing to Stormwall, particularly those beginning the reconstruction - be warned that there are packs of starving dogs roaming the city. Regular dogs. Nothing demonic or tainted, save by the ferocity granted them by extreme hunger. I don't know if they were pets or if they have always run wild, but they are dangerous.
Consider yourselves forewarned.

Spread figs? That doesn't even make sense.
You use it to spread the runny cheese, then you add the figs and pour on the honey.
If you have a proper blue cheese you can pair that was honey and some walnuts.
Both go excellently with the Ostrian brandy I wisely thought to bring along.
Next time do feel free to ask for a crostini or two. I had plenty of the cured ham I was eating left over.

Our patrol was successful. We were able to rescue a disciple that was being used as a lure. My brother is making progress on restoring the residences here in Arx. I have been thinking on ways we can stimulate more economic growth. It isn't something anyone has taught me explicitly, so I find it difficult and slow going. I know our trades well enough though, and I think I can figure out the right deal to make. Meanwhile, marriage has taken a backseat. I suppose in the wake of all the mess before, no one wants to press the idea upon me. A brief reprieve for sure.

I have said before that the blood we spilled fighting the Gyre was bitter indeed because those we faced were clearly not fighting for something that they believed in. Rather, they were pressed into service by a tyrant who took their sacred choices from them on pain of death or the harm of their loved ones. I have met a woman from one of those families. She has lost everything, but forges onward. Her strength is an inspiration. The spark of her will, a reminder that even in darkness there is hope.
