Relationship Note on Thena
Now, remember what you said about us making a great team in the journals? You wouldn't want to kill such a winning combination!
Also it's unbecoming for the Grandmaster to threaten anyone, uniThena.

The black rose, exquisite in her mourning.
Swathed in her silks, to look upon her is to weep.

I managed to win something at Prince Ainsley's charity night of fun and games. I am amused and at the same time happy about it. It is interesting how winning something brings a bit more joy to the world, even if it's a delicate perfume and a pair of coral hair pins.

Still getting mail about the Commons Clinic. Perhaps I need to find new depths to my rudeness to make it stop.
Now starting to consider taking payment to publicly insult someone of the payer's choosing. Probably only if it's someone I already want to insult.
Yes, someone should simply pay me to insult people I already don't like.

To Vellichor. And the archives at large, I suppose, though I pity anyone bored enough that reading my white reflections is deemed a way to fill their time.
It's summer. I'm in the grand and glorious city of Arx for the first time in years. I'm alive today. Not bad, all around. New friends, new family, new contacts, dodgy wine recommendations. And work. A mountain of ledgers of work. I find myself with no shortage of challenges as House Malespero establishes itself and I attempt to build up our forces into something worth reckoning with.
Challege is opportunity worth pursuing.
I find myself optimistic. An odd feeling. I'm enjoying the novelty of it. We'll see how it lasts.

Silver's Lament - by Itzal Culler, composed on commission.
Lilah Shay was a Metallic.
Of her the bards still sadly sing,
Champion of a realm fair and free,
Between the winter and the sea.
Aglow but one of many names.
Yet all saw her faith burn like flames,
Its warmth a shield for the bereft,
The rallying call of the blessed.
Her sword was long, her lance was keen.
Her slaying of Galrigor seen,
By all those beneath heaven's field,
Protected by bright Silver's shield.
But long ago she flew away,
And where she dwells now none can say,
For into darkness fell her star,
In Eurus where the shadows are.
((Original song: "The Fall of Gil-galad", by Tolkien. Changed lyrics around to make it more befitting Arx))

One of the things I often try to impart unto those who come to me for advice in regards as to how to live their life more in accordance with the gods is that the answer to their question is not so hard to discern as they may have otherwise suspected. The key is to learn how to pick out fools. That is to say one should be able to easily identify those who think the world is not a complex, living thing with sockets deeper than we can possibly imagine, those who detest uncertainty, and who are incapable of setting aside their flippant judgment over that of which they know little. Above all, be aware of those who always believe those things that are flattering to them. It is from these types that one can begin walking down a path more pleasing to the ideals put forth by the gods. You see, it will be the claims they find the most absurd, or the thoughts and opinions they consider most offensive that will end up being the ones most worthy of paying attention to.
As a final note, I wish to remind any and all who choose to read my public musings that I only said that the answer is easier than one might think. I do not claim that putting it into practice will be easy. In fact, one should expect life to be made more difficult for it.

I've forgotten to come to the journals these last weeks.

I need to prepare more eggs for the children of the school to play...

I return from a two day jaunt at sea to find my wife has presented me with a son. It is untimely, and unexpected, or I should not have been at sea. Once again we are separated when my wife needs me most. But I will not be dismayed by that, instead I rejoice that both are alive, and Gods willing, will remain so.

With sincere affection, Princess Caith, a "Caithcapade" sounds like either you have a terrible lisp or just a sneeze.

Firstly: a most sincere THANK YOU to everyone who offered their congratulations to me for passing my Explorers trial! I think this is the first time I have been sober since the moment I heard that I passed -- I have been celebrating with unrestrained joy! Between this and being allowed to join the Scholars, I feel as if every dream of mine is coming true. Arx feels to me like the city were the impossible becomes possible. It's everything I hoped it would be and more.
Secondly: I have decided that once I start going on adventures, I am going to write up little travel journals afterwards and title them 'Caithcapades'. Because I am Caith and they will be recount my escapades. Get it? Oh, this is going to be amazing. Can't you just see it? 'Caithcapade: Journey into a Dark Forest'. 'Caithcapade: What is That Thing? Let's Poke It'. 'Caithcapade: Ahhh! Run Away!'
Thirdly: I will be getting my own set of armor soon and this is very, very exciting! I imagine it will go a long way in protecting me on my Caithcapades.
Fourthly: YAY!

Pending nuptuals. Congrats man.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
