The acknowledgement of valor and triumph on the field of battle is always a bittersweet affair, for it must include those who can no longer be present to receive their accolades, for whom bravery demanded the ultimate cost - their lives - which they paid without reservation or hesitation.
For those souls who fought to the last drop of their heart's blood in both the north and the south, you have already been welcomed into the arms of the gods, and the Faith celebrates your lives, even as we mourn your loss for this world. Among the fallen, we particularly stand to recognize Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, who gave her life giving the wounded and those who heal them time to escape a foul enemy assault, and Grandmaster Armel Godsworn, of the Silver Order of the Knights of Solace, who - along with many other Silver Order Knights - aided in covering the withdrawal from the shores of Stormwall. The gods know these hearts, and may they find them to be pure. In addition, let us honor the dead who fought under the banner of the Church - at the end of this entry, you will find recorded for history the name of each fallen, Disciple or Godsworn, who answered the Faith's banner call. Letters of notification to their families or their superiors in the Church have already been dispatched.
But it is not just the dead that we honor, and as Gloria demands, we raise up those who have survived the trials of war, who have shed blood for a righteous cause an emerged triumphant and unbowed. I wish to take this time to praise those who fought under the banners of the Faith and stood fast against terrible foes. For the Templars, I wish to particularly acknowledge the deeds of heroism of: Princess Terese Valardin, who commanded the mounted knights of the Templars with valor and unyielding honor at Stormwall; Sir Preston of the Templars who fought and led with strategy and courage; Dame Thena Grayhope, who led the Knights of Solace and who showed unflinching skill in the work of a warrior and a general; Sir Jeffeth Bayweather, who fearlessly risked life and limb to pull the injured from the melee, blending Gloria's courage with Lagoma's mercy; Sir Daemon Dracone, who fought with the strength of ten to defend the wounded and the healers; and Sir Rand Pirran, who fought among the Templars with valor and fury.
Last - but never least, let us praise the Mercies of Lagoma, and the members of the Physician's Guild, who took to their battlefields not to take lives, but to save them. May no one ever forget the strength it takes to heal, and the Faith praises all of the Mercies and medics who saved lives and souls in both north and south. Each of these are heroes as valiant and strong as any who took up sword, bow, or glaive in the defense of the Compact. May the gods see how many of their people are willing to risk their lives to uphold virtue, and rejoice.
<<A list of names follows - a catalogue of dead godsworn and Disciples in the fighting, as well as a brief note of where they fell, and any deeds which were known in the battle. It is a long, long list.>>

Princess Lark, Princess of Bastion, High Lady of the Crownlands
As the Commander of the Grayson Army at Stormwall, working alongside Princess Marian and Marquis Mydas, I had first hand reports of what happened upon the field at Crovane, upon the beaches and within the city of Stormwall. The decisions we made as commanders brought our forces to act in certain regard, but in the end, the city we sent up in flame, to the cry of those who had always called it home. But within that city, we probably seen over 80,000 of the enemy aflame, so that they would not proceed south and come at another. Let us hope that the sacrifices made in Stormwall, are not in vain.
From the ashes, come the stories of the Grayson effort, of which I have scoured all reports that have been sent to me since, and after my walk through the camp of the wounded, I have hoped to collect them all. I acknowledge and honor those of our men and women, who risked their lives in acts of valor for the efforts at Stormwall. I can not cover all of these stories, but would like to recognize these shining examples of heroism:
Duke Harlan Ashford lead the combined archery forces upon the beaches, accounting for last minute changes without hesitation, ensuring that all forces on the beach knew the signals and worked together. He was precise with carrying out his directives and ensured that the retreating forces had significant cover. His efforts also helped to hold the lines that stood against the siege ladders and fought wounded among his soldiers upon the organized withdrawal into the city. His efforts continued to aid our success in sundering the city of all.
Marquis Malesh Stonewood, though he was injured in the first volley of our enemy, that did not take the fire out of his heart. He bellowed encouragement to those upon the pass, calling to soldiers under his banner to never give up, for the whole of the world and their families depended on not losing this battle. Even wounded, he showed the mettle of a leader.
Count Thesarin Riven is recognized for the steadfast leadership upon the field and never once losing control of his men, in fact, he gained support of citizens that would have otherwise been in a panic, seeing that every man and woman aided the efforts of defending and fighting in Stormwall. His ROAR upon the battlefield was highly motivating and his personal efforts to fight alongside his men will not be forgotten!
Countess Mia Riven showed bravery in the face of the insurmountable challenges, in ensuring morale kept with the soldiers. She was paramount in organizing medical aid and overseeing their withdrawal. She stood without hesitation and was unyielding against the enemy that came at the retreating wounded, suffering injuries for her courage in protecting the defenseless.
Count Gailin Fireviper, stood resolute, supporting the efforts of Michael Bisland to ensure the armies worked together and held the beaches and the walls! He was personally seen fighting alongside his men on the beaches and in the city of Stormwall.
Lady Olivia Ashford is recognized for her unwavering determination to heal the wounded, as well as her selflessness in trying to see the last of the wounded evacuation before the coming of the enemy. She never once hesitated to do her duty as assigned to her and saw many of our soldiers find solace in her healing.
Lady Emily Deepwood personally manned trebuchet with great success, capsizing a ship that was full of pitch, while setting many other ships ablaze through all her efforts. She also was charged with the task of leading archers upon the wall and within the city. Her bravery stands out as her voice heralded direction to ensure archers aimed true and made every shot count!
Lord Michael Bisland took charge of trebuchet teams upon the beaches to target the incoming ships with siege weapons upon their decking, while leading Bisland troops. He showed incredible talent at spreading morale to ensure the troops were inspired to fight on, leading a significant push to drive the ladders off the walls that gave the allies a moment of reprieve so that tactics could be changed before the final surge of the enemy. His dedication should not be forgotten.
Dame Esoka is awarded for her commendable valor in the field of battle, as she took charge of the Marinites at the mountain passes. While she was targeted personally by a great evil, she remained steadfast and held her ground and fought on proudly, as a shining example of Gloria.
Rickard Corsetina by all reports, never balked at the enemy he was faced with and fought with valiant selflessness, destroying many enemy upon the field, personally saving the lives of Princess Terese and Marcas Aodh when the beaches were overrun.
Prince Ainsley Grayson found the strength of Gloria in the field of battle upon the passes and was a beacon of hope to rally against an unmeasured foe of darkness.
Of significant note, while there may be many more great tales of men and women not of our house, one must be recognized for his courage that speaks fully of being one of us. Sir Jeffeth Bayweather braved the field of battle to find Marquis Malesh and pull him from it, personally carrying him from the battlefield. House Grayson thanks you, Sir Jeffeth, for showing such little regard to your own personal safety to find the Marquis and carry him from the city.
To all those who aided our success in Stormwall, I thank you for showing courage under such odds and against such horrific foes. We will not let the fall of this great city be in vain. We will continue to fight and together, we will win.

I have made mistakes in my life, plenty of them... some worse than others. There are brief moments in which I think I regret them, but think what you will... I do not, not truly. Mistakes made are learning lessons, opportunities for growth, to recognize ones own weaknesses or places where they falter. Some of my worst mistakes have brought these lessons and required me to focus on myself, and some of these lessons have proven to be tests. Tests that not only I must strive to pass, but involves others as well. Some of those closest to me know what I speak of. I faced a test.... we faced a test... and we are passing with flying colors.... in my ever-so-humble opinion.
What I do regret though.... is time lost with far too many because of some of these mistakes. My time in Stormwall, what I saw, what I watched others sacrifice, what so many of us endured... has deepened my drive to never lose time unnecessarily ever again. I know there is never enough of it for all we must do, all we wish to do. Never enough time in a say, a week, a year.... ever. But, I am going to strive harder to not let moments slip between my fingers.... and to fight for moments that are so important.
No more time wasted. No more looking back with regret at time lost. I will fight for those I care about. I will fight for those I love. I will do my best to ensure that every single one of those I do love and care for, know it, whether it be the occasional acquaintance, or the holder of my heart.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
Eirlys... this one is a hard one to write. So much time was lost, with so many, and you among them. I am fortunate that we were recently able to speak after so many years. It was awkward at first, for certain, but throughout the course of that conversation... steps were made, hands extended, and a bridge created, the beginning of steps forward.
What you said to me, mere moments before your passing, will always be carried in my heart, Eirlys. Thank you for the trust, and the sentiment. I will keep my promise to keep them safe, do all I can to ensure it for as long as I draw breath.
May your journey to the Wheel be a peaceful one, my friend. I feel confident in calling you that, because in the end, I do believe it is what we had once more. And when you are ready, when the time is right, may your return to the living lands bring you to a life where you are able to inspire anew with all that you are.

I do not know if this will reach you on the island, but let it not be said that Pravus is found lacking as a host.
Seek out Orathy Culler while you stay in my beloved city. He can show you the best places where you can be yourself. Setarco is not just for the rich and noble, you merely need to know where to look. I can do nothing for the heat except suggest you trade your furs for linens while you are there. It will help. Not much, but a little.

Forwarded from Setarco
Seen so damn many surprised faces when those massive red bears on the sails come into view. Can't say I don't enjoy it just a bit. Though I need to make clear, my people have been sailing and fighting forever, and even in this damned heat, I'd put any of my sailors against any other fealties'.
Which isn't to say there's any reason to fight. We've all been working so close together, and I've quickly learned to trust the other admirals. Truly, the Compact's fleet is an incredible power to behold.
As for the rest of it: Setarco is hot and expensive, and I can't say I've grown to appreciate the city itself, but these Lycene nobles sure do know how to have a good time. I think it helps that a Northern Prodigal is exotic and mysterious and that's a good thing, here. Whatever the case, there's a lot of work still to do, and while I wish like hell I could be back home, this is far from the worst place I've been stuck.

I had heard the suggestion to set Stormwall ablaze if the battle could not be won, but I never imagined we would have followed through with it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. My only worry is that it was all for naught, because a portion of their fleet detached and went somewhere else. Where did that fleet go? I fear this war will be long and with many hard sacrifices and lost friends and loved ones. Let us hope that all this sacrifice and loss will not be in vain.

Prince Darren Redrain, Highlord to the Northlands,
There are some that may consider the Battle of Stormwall a loss. I would not argue that indeed, we did lose the city and surrounding town to the flame of our torches. However, in burning of Stormwall, we managed to destroy every single Marinite that touched their foot on Crovane soil. While we lost many brave soldiers to take these zealots to the ground, it was a necessary step to ensure that our enemy does not take control of a stronghold in the North.
There are many stories of valor from the brave Redrain warriors who fought to secure Crovane's borders against the invading Marinites. I can not cover all of these stories, but would like to recognize these shining examples of heroism:
- Marquis Mydas Acheron worked tirelessly, side by side with me in the command tent to ensure our battle plan was executed, making hard decisions and deploying men to fight the enemy. He was my voice of reason through the chaos.
- Princess Gwenna Redrain who evacuated our non-combatants, those that were willing to leave before the battle to mitigate losses on Crovane's side. She can speak more of those that fought to protect the innocent on their journey to safety.
- Princess Ann Redrain who managed to turnover every stone to get us allies for the coming battle. You are a master tactician when it comes to gathering support.
- Lady Khanne Halfshav who called upon the spirits to bring the fury of nature upon our enemies.
- Lord Sigurd Nightgold who watched our backs to ensure the passes were kept open so when Stormwall had to be abandoned, we were able to leave safely.
- Duke Vercyn Halfshav who led the Redrain forces on the beaches, retreating into the city when the enemy forces overran the beaches.
- Princess Echo Redrain who fought on the beaches and in the port city without fear or hesitation.
- Marquis Cirroch Sanna who brought his mighty axe to the battlefield to dispatch our enemies.
- Lord Arik Halfshav and Lord Brogan Nightgold for overseeing to the shamans' protection.
- Dame Morrighan who protected my back through the raging battle.
- Marcas Aodh charged in with full force of his rage to beat back the enemy. He watched the back of Princess Echo and other warriors on the beaches and in the port city.
- Eilonwy Thunderoak who led the healers of Redrain to make sure that our soldiers' wounds were tended to.
- Petal Penrose who put down her sewing needle to nurse those injured in the war.
- Valery Frost who made the incendiary devices that allowed us to bring Stormwall down around our enemy.
- Behtuk of House Sanna who crafted night and day to see that our soldiers had the arms necessary to fight the Battle of Stormwall.
My apologies if anyone was overlooked. There were so acts of courage and valor. Too many to count. At the end of the day, every single Redrain warrior that came to the field fought to the Last! Captain Kaede and other brave Redrain sailors still fight for our allied Compact forces to the South. I will send word when I know more of their fate.

I am increasingly glad the papers of engagement for the Few specify double rates for active combat, triple when there's a supernatural threat, and if there's something larger than twenty feet tall, six times. And people ask why I enjoy fighting so much: it's the money, obviously! ...well, and the fact that fighting terribly dangerous things is really just the sort of fun you don't get anywhere else.

Our task was not glorious. But our duty is not glory. What small contingent of the King's Own went to Stormwall did their duty to the best of their ability. They guarded the shamans and the healers. We did what was needful.
Sir Tovell Telmar took wound, and has recuperated as we returned home. Among our dozen there were no casualties.
But the city was lost. Untold tens of thousands died, and one of those that we were charged to protect among the fallen. There is much work to be done, and lessons to be taken from Stormwall. Gods willing they can be learned in time.

She was a pleasure to work with, and her skills were demonstrably greater than in just healing. She turned the tide of the fighting. She's a fantastic healer. Without her, I do not think I would necessarily have made it home. Thank you. For everything.

I am still alive. What I tell myself after every fight. I am still alive.
To those who care: Rivenshari ships still sail, we did our part. Not much else to be said.

Relationship Note on Hadrian
You can win even when you lose. Because, even in losing, you might still succeed in making your point. In saying you refuse the way they want it.

My sister came home to me and that makes me the happiest.
But other people lost their sister, their lover, their brother, their father, their mother.
Lost someone, or someones, important to them.
Having her come home to me is bittersweet with so much loss that others have faced.
I will not forget the sacrifices that so many made, the lives that were taken from us.
I will honor these heroes always, and their families and loved ones.
Always.

Addendum from the High Lord:
Oh shit and before I forgot. Hey, 'Rissa. Go visit Donella sometime. Girl is probably pregnant as fuck and might be frozen by now. Help her out with that whole spitting out babies thing, would ya'? Least we can do.
Also I made a will awhile back, it's recorded in the blacks. Make sure to release that if I croak.
Alright, done now, bye.
