To find out one is going to be an aunt through whites is not exactly the way one wishes to hear such joyous news. To find out through that same entry that there is a cake shortage is even more worrisome!
I forgive all of you, and expect to be informed in person as soon as possible Galen and Sorrel.
I am not angry, just disappointed.

I've been meaning to inquire into that very matter myself, but knowing I am not alone in this perplexing matter is a comfort!

I did not think I would need to state this again.
"Let the most studious amongst you take sacred vow to forever guard the knowledge of the world, and allow all among you from the greatest to the least to chronicle their lives in journals so their knowledge may never be lost."
That is the stance of the Scholars of Vellichor and that is the decree we have shed blood for generations to uphold. We will continue to do so.

The debate last night was enjoyable, everyone worked to keep spirits high and cattiness was kept to a minimum. There were some well-made points all around, though like Princess Saoirse, I remain unconvinced that a good 'subterfuge' cannot solve most problems. If all the rumors and history lessons are to be believed, it is a time honored tradition of the Lyceum that is considered a valid political tactic when successful. My own House has its very own opera on the subject, as example.

The Faith can't have it both ways.
Does the Pantheon want the truth of the world from /everyone/, or just those the Archlectors like?

It is funny how your world can at the same time be filled with great joy and great sorrow. For most of my life I have only known great sorrow and I know how to deal with that. The combination has me flustered and at a loss. Arx has certainly made things much more complicated.

Relationship Note on Jeffeth
Sir Jeffeth puts it well. What the orphans need is opportunity for a life beyond their childhood years. The Faith can, will and does provide for their needs, but what the Faith cannot do is provide options /beyond/ the Faith. We cannot tell you to open your homes, we cannot tell you to take them on, so I am glad Jeffeth highlights there are - beyond the bickering - real orphans in need. I was lucky, I was raised in the Rectory - the archlectors, the legates, they were all parents to me in some way, even if they didn't know. My path was marked out for me before I could walk and talk, a purpose divined for me by one of the then legates. I cannot think of the difficulty of being without that, and if others can provide that for the children, provide certainty and opportunity, then I would urge people to listen to Sir Jeffeth. But. Do not think of what the orphans might do for you. Think of what it might do for the orphan. And in turn know that your soul will be lifted by that act.

There's nothing wrong with a damned good argument.
Bad arguments aren't that terrible either, aside from being generally obnoxious and/or a waste of time, but Arvani make an /art/ out of finding ways to best waste time, so it's not exactly something that should really be all that concerning to anyone.

The bay is cast in darkness by swooping wings of midnight sky.
There is destruction in the wake of flame
and terror abounds from what does fly.
My heart is haunted.

It absolutely confuses me how frequently a Scholar of Vellichor records something to be put into a white journal that is clearly not what the person transcribing their memories intended to have written. What are we teaching these Scholars? Why are they recording the current conversation they are having... About what they are recording? I am at a lose.

UGH!
Yes, just the three letters then the exclamation point. Do you think more than one would be too much? Yes, just one is fine. Why are you still writing?

I understand my brother and my patron met for the first time tonight.
I understand that it did not go well.
I'm not sure what could have happened to cause things to fall apart the way they did, but I do know that anyone interested in experiencing my huge talent can come by Kennex Kay whenever.

This feels like a subtle scolding of everyone for their bickering over the whites. If it is, then I love it. If the future generations are to learn from the past, then gods help them if they are forced to use our white journals as historical records. And gods help the scholars who have to shift through thousands of pages of utter bullshit to find the one kernel of knowledge contained within.

Relationship Note on Orazio
I'd forgotten how much I like Orazio, it had been such a long time since we were last in one another's lives.
I remember now however. In fact I think I like him even more than I did then. I'm just as vain as ever I was, but can focus on things beyond my own beauty, such as extremely amusing conversational partners such as he.

I think that Salon debate was success--hic!--ful. Except for Sir Jeffeth, who apparently stole a wine glass and sent poor Vlad into a panic attack. VLAD. RELAX. NOBODY'S GONNA FIRE YOU.
So - the debate. I drank a lot, obviously, but I think the conversation steered in quite an invigorating direction, which is all I can ask for. Princess Roxana is delightful and not a dummy; Duchess Belladonna is as well. Orazio seemed to think that the murder of people via military means is less sinful than assassinations, but I remain unconvinced.
There was absolutely no conclusion, which I suppose is part of the point of debate, and I was honestly disappointed that no one in House Thrax showed up to argue for their military might!

I've only just met her but Princess Saoirse Velenosa is likely the most charming, engaging, and interesting woman that I've come across in weeks. Months? Years?
I've decided that we are going to be fast friends. In fact I will declare it so now in order to save time: We are the very best of friends.

The Salon debate hosted by Saoirse Velenosa was an utter delight. I met some fabulous people and enjoyed the robust conversation as well. I really must start hosting for The Salon myself, it has been such a pleasure to witness this revival.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
