Relationship Note on Wash
I hardly write here but....I feel i need to.
You are the man that chased me down in a sense. You were stubborn from day one. You risked yourself to see me again after we first met. You were relentless. We were a whirlwind of an affair...the talk of the capital. I can happily say I am honored that you chose me to be your wife. And not only that....but to be the mother of your children.
You are the best thing that happened to me, Washburn and I don't know what I would do without you in my life. You keep me sane in this crazy world.
Cerilla will be looking for your ship....I will be looking for your ship...and our unborn child will still need a name so you better come back on that ship. You be safe. You come home.

Relationship Note on Wash
Lord Washburn,
There are paragraphs in my Blacks where I discuss in detail how deeply you irritate me, where the pages grow worn because of how ferociously I hold my quill.
I've changed my mind. Temporarily perhaps, but maybe not.
Be brave. Be safe. Come home and I'll buy you another cog.

Prayers before Battle, a poem that may also be sung
Gods of Arvum, we say this prayer
Of the thanks and respect you're due.
And then our simple hopes we'll share.
And humbly ask a blessing of you.
Aion whose complex dream we live
We strive to keep your dream strong.
We thank you for the world you give
And hope that we will do no wrong.
Gild, sweet Gild, caring and true
You watch over travelers each day
We think it'll aid get them through
If we help fend the enemies away.
Gloria, when the battle draws near
Let us not view the enemy in dismay
But to meet the enemy without fear
And honor you if we fight today.
Jayus you inspire to greater heights
To create things of essential beauty.
Weapons and armor in the coming fights
Will help soldiers perform their duty.
Lagoma, Lagoma, our Lady of Change
Battles reshape from start to end.
And as far and wide they'll range
Our tactics must change to defend.
Limerance our God of vows and trust,
We honor the words that were spoken,
To seek to counter the enemy's thrust,
And try our best so our words unbroken.
Mangata, Strong Lady of Water and Wind
Your brave struggle we take to heart
As you resist your foe, prayers we send.
Your example inspires as battles start.
Petrichor, it is on your beaches and land
That brave men have summoned their courage.
There our soldiers gather to make a stand
And ready to face our foes, our scourge.
Queen of Endings, it is a comfort to know
You'll be there if an ally's cycle may end.
And that a return to life you might bestow.
To let those brave hero's new story begin.
Sentinel, you see and don't forget
It is the righteous that you guard
When they fall under an enemy threat.
To see your fair justice is not hard.
Skald, God of sweet freedoms and choice
An end to freedom enemies seek to bring.
Thus did we decide to raise our voice
It's freedom and hope to which we cling.
Tehom, helps us understand and face
Our inner self, who we've come to be.
Overcoming our flaws with good grace
To withstand an enemy, not bend a knee.
Vellichor, God of knowledge and histories
Without you we would all become lost
You have facts to help solve mysteries
So our battles are fought with less cost.
To all the Gods we pray today
Please guide us along our path
Bless our efforts along the way
To withstand our enemy's wrath.

Aye,
A fine blade, a fine axe, and a fine gift from a splendid Nephew and Dear Friend.
I'll use it to make sure he, and I get back home. Safe to our loved ones and dear friends, and to protect those I travel with to the best of my ability.
Thank you, Sigurd.

There was a song I heard sung once in a fishing village by the women washing. It was haunting and beautiful and I remember every word...
I wait all day for my sailor
And sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me like the nightingale
"Oh, fair maiden, I see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy, your eyes haunt me
(OOC: Lyrics by Tori Amos, Song for Eric)

There are those that lead and then there are those that lead by example. The Marquis has given me more than just instruction but something to strive for. The Compact is better for having him and Deepwood made stronger for his alliance by marriage to my cousin. We could not have asked for a more tested and true lord.

Relationship Note on Caith
Reality is what we make of it. Sometimes it's ugly and brutal and muddy and harsh. Sometimes it's beautiful and gentle and kind and wonderful. Other times it manages to be both fantastic and bloody, lovely and disgusting, all at the same time. We just have to realize what things are and work to change them. Some of that is in preparation. You don't wear dancing slippers if you're wading through mud.
I'm here for you when you need me. We will shape reality to the truth.

[ From the desk of B. Mercier, scatterbrain: ]
How peculiar, to be present to for the second time in my journal since my exit of the city. Although, it's not really an oddity any longer, is it? I'm here. Really and truly here. The twins are at home, in the Vale, which is really the safest place I can think of. Oh -- yes! Hannah and Isaiah. (I feel so old!) I'm arriving while others are leaving with their various formations and fleets. Off to war. War's difficult on the soldiers and sailors and warriors and knights and mercenaries and nobles fighting. Very difficult. It's difficult for us, at home, as well. We worry about the safety of anyone that we have kissed, hugged, given favors to, and demanded they not die --
Please, none of you, don't die.
If you have to, take some of the bad guys with you.

Relationship Note on Esoka
I've known Dame Esoka of the Greenwoods all her days. From our times in the woods, to when we walked into civilization together, when she was made a knight of the Compact, and when she took the Swords of House Riven to carry.
Stood by her at the walls in the Siege of Arx, fought with her in the Forests.
And now I've seen her married, to a man who makes her happy.
Dark days coming, but this is a good one.

Book,
To my siblings...You each mean the world to me, and I love each of you more than you know...And Valerius, probably more than you deserve! I jest.
I'm going to war, for each of you, for Thrax, for the Compact. If I don't make it back and Sorrel does, I expect each of you to swear to me that you will help her, that you will see your niece or nephew born and you will tell them of me and our relationships.
Valerius, you, my baby brother are a man of whom I am very proud, even if you may think it is foolish of me to say such. I know your heart, I know the man you truly are, and if I don't get to see you again I will be very angry!
Leona and Jaenelle, words don't do justice how proud of you both I am! Each of you is so strong, beautiful and cunning. Both of you have been sounding boards for me, both of you have listened to your older brother and his tales of things you cared not know! And both of you will forever be my favorite sister.

There's not a whole lot more that needs to be said. I've been given a job by my King and my peers to safeguard what is theirs and what is mine.
I'll carry your standards and I'll show them the respect they deserve when they follow mine.
We'll win. Or we'll die. Either way it goes, we ain't gonna back down.
'Til our souls come back for another go.

And you see your life's crossroads and you know which path to tread and what paths are closed to you. They say the destination doesn't matter, that it's the journey, but I'd argue that only applies if you know the destination leads to happiness.
Lucky for me, I know that my paths do.
