Relationship Note on Edain
Prince Edain Valardin, Highlord of the Oathlands,
You were there on the beaches. You saw what we faced. But never did you or your cavalry hesitate to come to House Redrain's defense. While the honorable Princess Alis Valardin led your knights to Setarco, you personally took it upon yourself to lead the Valardin cavalry to the North. Please accept my thanks for your efforts. Without your Valardin knights working side by side the Faith and Redrain armies more lives would have been lost at the Battle of Stormwall.
While the valor of your knights and brave healers are vast and many, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize a few that stood out against the others. Lady Eirlys Greenmarch who gave her life in the Battle of Stormwall. She stepped in front of a deadly attack and fell to save Dame Esoka Greenblood. Her sacrifice will be honored among the Redrain warriors as we raise our swords to her. Prince Jericho Valardin who sherpard the infantry away from danger so they were not felled by boulders. Who lost his precious Lady Eirlys cutting down the enemy who were escaping from the burning of Stormwall while she was taken on the passes. Princess Terese Valardin who took blow after blow on the beaches and kept fighting. Marquis Jacque Lyonesse accepted the mantle of knighthood, rallied the knights with his heartfelt speech and then rode into battle determined to take ten for every one of the cavalry that fell under the enemy. Lord Alban Farshaw fought with ferocity but never lost his compassion as he made sure that the wounded were safely taken to the healers. Sir Holden Morgan watched the back of his fellow cavalry and cut a path through the enemy line. Sir Daemon Dracone who fought along side other Knights of Solace to protect the healers and keep the passes free. Countess Reigna Keaton led the physicians into the battlefield, seeing to the wounded even though the enemy sought to attack the healers' tents.
If I have forgotten any of the brave and honorable, please forgive me. The contributions of the Valardin knights are too many to count.

Relationship Note on Jericho
Highness,
I am sorry for your loss, which I know rends at your heart and soul. While I did not know Lady Eirlys, I saw in our one meeting the sort of woman she was, and we are all worse off at her parting.
If I or the Shrine of the Thirteenth can be of assistance in this time - if a balm can be offered - please do not hesitate to send word.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
I met the Lady Eirlys exactly once, when she was discussing plans to marry Prince Jericho. She impressed me then, with the grandness of her heart.
I heard about her passing. That she died protecting another is unsurprising to me.
I regret I did not have the chance to know her better. She seemed like a woman of rare quality.

Please accept the thanks of House Redrain for the assistance of the Mercies at the Battle of Stormwall. Mother Mercy, Princess Sophie Valardin, sent Cybele with a contingent of Mercies from the Arx chapter, as well as other chapters sent their Faithful healers to see to our soldiers. Lady Rey Laveer stood out amongst the Mercies of Lagoma as being dedicated to her cause. She saved many of the wounded that were put under her care. Please recognize her for the compassion and care that she showed on the battlefield till the Last soldier was taken to safety.

Relationship Note on Orazio
Legate Orazio, the Heart of Solace and Shield of the Faith,
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for sending the Knights of Solace to Stormwall to keep our passes free, so that none of our warriors would be trapped within the city. Redrain would have lost more people at the Battle of Stormwall, if these passes had become overrun with the enemy. Dame Thena Grayhope proved her mettle on the battlefield and in the command tent by providing keen strategy and compassionate service to all that were in need of Solace. Combined with the timely efforts of Sir Daemon Dracone and Sir Jeffeth Bayweather many of the fallen were protected and taken to the Mercies for healing.
All three of these Knights should be recognized for their Faithful efforts and dedication to their duty. They protected their charges to the Last!

Relationship Note on Cassandra
Archlector Cassandra Laurent of Gloria,
Please know that the Sir Preston led the Templars with clear purpose and concise decision making both in the command tent and on the field, leading the cavalry. It was his timely actions combined with Prince Edain Valardin that ensured that no Marinites escaped from the burning of Stormwall. His strong Faith carried him and his men through this battle. Without the defense of the Faithful, Redrain would have lost more people at the Battle of Stormwall.
Other Templars that paid key roles in the success of this campaign were Dame Esoka Greenblood who faced the darkness without fear and almost lost her life for it. Lord Alban Farshaw who met the Marinites on the beach with his sword, and his quick thinking assisted other soldiers that were damaged by the burning pitch. Princess Terese Valardin who took a flaming arrow while taking the enemy on the beach. Princess Echo Redrain who was one of the last to leave the beaches to make sure her fellow Templars and allied forces were able to withdrawal back to the city. Their bravery and faithful efforts turned the tide on the beaches and later protected the passes from being overrun by the enemy. When their limbs were tired and the soot filled their vision they rode to the Last to make sure none of the Marinites escaped.
Please recognize these Templars for their duty, honor and glory.

It is hard to focus on anything considering I am constantly fearful for the lives of the ones that I love who are facing the horrors of war as this is written. It is hard to keep smiling, though I am trying, because someone needs to try to keep those who remain here cheered. As much as possible, which sometimes seems...I hope it is not taken in a terrible way, that I do not understands the risks and the hardship, I do, but for those of us in the city there is nothing but anxiety and worry and fear and it is not helpful. Especially when so many left behind are expecting new babies in the future. The strain is too much. So, I will try to lighten what I can and keep the subject from being too heavily on things we cannot know or change.
It is hard to ignore the information coming in. I want to know everything as it happens, but the anxiety of it! Waiting for the next release. I could not stay at the Vigil to bear it. Best to find out all in one go as the light dawns the full extent of what has happened. And it's not over yet.
I worry constantly for my sisters. For Aiden and Harlan and Luca and Michael and Theron and my friends and family all of whom are too numerous to fully list here. You are in my thoughts and prayers every minute of the day and night. Even if I am not speaking on the war, I am thinking of you.
Please come home.

Supply Commander's Log, for the archives:
We're out at sea. I don't usually write this shit but I thought it'd be fun.
Once all the ships were pointed in the directions they were meant to go, we had a ship-wide drinking contest on The Magpie, with the winners getting pick of their duties for the next day. This really wasn't much of a contest though because I wasn't giving up my place as Captain and Dan wasn't going to let anyone else be first mate. Mostly we all just drank.
After the drinking contest, there was a ship-wide pissing contest which involved aim, distance, and power metrics. Except for Fort. He was belowdeck being broody and artsy. Surprisingly, Zavi won that contest.
Then we came into some sand bars and reef areas we're fond of and did some fishing so we didn't have to dip into the war supplies. In honor of Dean, (We miss you buddy!), we had fried squid for dinner. Sooo good when caught fresh that afternoon.
After dinner we had our nightly flotilla with the Crow's Nest. We practiced rope maneuvers of swinging from ship to ship like raiders.
.....
It's been a few days. More supplies. More cargo. Same old same old. The waters are fantastic though and I couldn't be happier, finally out at sea after so much time cooped up in the city. Mayir and I have gotten our rope maneuvers down to a respectable time. Not that either of us plan to take up raiding, but you never know when you might have to swing wildly on a rope while screaming like an idiot.
......
Supplies, supplies, back and forth. Then I ran into Lord Wash and his fleet. Convinced him to let me practice boarding via rope-swinging with his marines. Good times. Good times. Also met Mercy Victoria.
.......
WOW. What a storm. Fucking spread the supply fleet everywhere and I'm just taking a few minutes breather before I go deal with the thick fog we're stuck in. Gotta find The Crow's Nest. Mayir crashed here on the Magpie last night and now his ship is off away somewhere.
....
Okay, that was a shit pit. Sending this back to the city to be archived. Need to track down Victus and get word to him. Supply fleet mostly found, Crow's Nest is gone. This shit just gets worse and worse. Stay away from Darkwater Watch unless you're someone I don't like.

We ran into some scary stuff last night out on the seas, the supply convoy. A bad storm came up.
We all made it though. Me, Magpie, Fortunato, and all the crew.
We lost the Crow's Nest, though. My ship. My cog. She was brand new. This was her first time out on a real mission on the seas.
We never even had a formal christening for her. Maybe that's why she got taken. If I get a new ship, I'm going to make sure Thena says some words, right away. A Knight of Solace offering blessings to Mangata is like twice the blessing. Gild and Mangata, you know?
I guess I should be glad the crew made it. Boats can be replaced; sailors can't.
But I'm not wearing my captain's hat anymore. You can't wear the hat if you're not a captain. That's just the rules.

Princess Lark Grayson, High Lady of the Crownlands,
I want to thank you for the service the warriors of Grayson provided to House Redrain. Without the defense of our allied forces, Redrain would have lost more people at the Battle of Stormwall. Please consider giving Prince Aiden Grayson a commendation for his brilliant strategy on the battlefield. When his brother last minute gave him the mantle to lead so he could seek personal glory in the battlefield, Prince Aiden stood strong and did his best. My only regret is the time and effort that was spent training Prince Ainsley in matters of Northern warfare that could have been better spent on one who didn't abandon his command of the entire Grayson contingent that went to Stormwall. Prince Aiden did not have that benefit and aided the allied Compact forces showing the mettle of Grayson's might by leveraging the reports that Duke Harlan Ashford was sending from the field.
Lady Emily Deepwood stood on the beaches and provided excellent shots with her trebuchet that capsized many boats, preventing many of the enemy from reaching shore. Marquis Malesh Stonewood was badly injured by burning pitch that was launched from enemy ships at sea, but he still lives to fight another day. Count Thesarin Riven calmed panicked non-combatants who had foolishly not evacuated and stopped the crush from injuring our soldiers. Lord Michael Bisland led the defenders on the wall to push off those trying to invade the city. His quick thinking on the field saved many lives. Dame Esoka Greenblood took on a commander of the Marinites, avenging the death of my cousin, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, who took the attack intended for Dame Esoka, giving her life. So much bravery, so much effort. Lady Rey Laveer put her healing talents to the test and saved many lives on the battlefield. Countess Mia Riven not only healed those in need but when the healing tents were taken by the enemy, she defended them with the ferocity of a warrior, almost losing her life in the process. Even craftsmen like, Rickard Corsetina, lended his hand in the battlefield to defend my people.
Reports are still coming in on how the troops are doing post battle, I will send more updates so that you are aware of the welfare of your people.
To the Last!

In case this gets back before my big armored rump, please someone tell Elgana to stop worrying. Her handkerchief is fine and it only has a little blood on it and I will wash it a lot when I get back to the city.
People were tremendously brave, sometimes when it meant helping the ones that were most afraid. We walk a world that may have weird stuff in it, but it we walk it with heroes, little sister. Heroes that protect us, heroes that sacrifice for us, heroes that inspire us.
Honor them.
I will go sleep in a wagon now. Okay.

Prince Aiden Grayson stepped up when his brother took to the field, and provided a brilliant strategy for the allied Compact forces. Our victory would not have been assured without their contributions. Prince Edain Valardin and Sir Preston of the Templars assisted our commanders on the beaches to first take those landing and second to cut down those Marinites that tried to escape our trap in Stormwall.
Our money was well spent on Lord Tobias Telmar and the Crimson Blades. Violet Marjawn down many targets, those leading the Marinites into battle with her bow. My recommendation is to provide a pension to his men, as we will do with our own, since they died trying to protect what is ours. Lord Sigurd and Dame Thena held the passes open and fought the enemy when they tried to trap us. I am deeply grateful to the Gods and the spirits who heard the cries of the Faithful and the shamans led by Lady Khanne Halfshav, sinking many of the ships by storm. This could have been so much worse. This Pirate King was not dispatched by our efforts, only turned away. Eilonwy Thunderoak and Lady Reigna Keaton organized the healers to mitigate some of the damage done on the field.
I am running out of parchment...there are too many stories of bravery done by those on the field for me to contain it in this letter. My apologies for the soot and ash that stains these words. We lost many in our efforts to keep back the Marinites. I can not end this letter without calling for a wail for my cousin, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, who sacrificed her life for another on the field. She was the Sword of Greenmarch, a woman I trained by my own hand. I hope that she knows that I am proud of her actions. Her sacrifice will not be forgotten.
We fought to the Last!

On another note, when I get back to the city I need to have a visit with Mistress Hana to repair my crossbow. A bolt got stuck and would not dislodge during the battle. And, I may have damaged it a bit further in hitting it against several sacks near to the end of the battle. What can I say? I was frustrated. I expect if the marinites had boarded our ship, I might have used it, instead, as a club because then I would be certain that something would be getting hit somewhere.
Mason will be glad to know that I did not yet get a chance to blood my new diamondplate sword that he got me for my birthday. But it is so, so very pretty!
