A busy and stressful week. It is good that Harlan is back, as the Ashfords are being called, like every house in the compact, to raise our armies in preparation for the coming attacks from the sea. I am out of my element in military meetings, but have set out to rally our people as best I can- I hope it will do some good.

More journaling.
They tell me it is good for us.
How do people focus enough to write more than one of these a month when they are not traveling?
What is there to write about that is worth sharing?
"Went to the inn today for my meals."
Where do we draw the line between worth reading, and worth keeping private?

I must thank my lovely young wife Ariel for permitting me time away from the home and the children to contemplate with the silent reflections.
I don't know how much of my week is really fit for recording here. Some thoughts are private thoughts with good purpose.
still, having been raised with a special place in my prayers for Gild, an having seen the truths that Tehom offers thanks to the influence of my wife, it is interesting to spend much time at the temple.
It teaches us thing about the Scholars as well, and certainly the severity of the punishment given must give us confidence that we can document our lives freely. Without it, how could we trust mere people not to betray our confidences?

For all of Arx, I would strongly recommend the following:
- One evening among family and friends
- One bowls of stew
- Two glasses of wine
- A walnut pastry
- Two brides to tease about their upcoming weddings
- A visit with an adorable toddler
- One corgi
- Absolutely no mentions of doom, or demons, or war
It does wonders for your constitution. And for your spirits.

I feel as though I had not been doing enough recently for my house and my countrymen and women. Not that I had been doing nothing, but it feels like there is more I could be doing. Next week I will take it upon myself to put more effort into this. Prehaps I can try to aid in rallying the banners.

The Riven table was merry tonight. Good food and good company and much talk of weddings and children and whether or not corgis can fly.
There will be much to be done in the coming days. Many dooms to fight. Nights like these remind me what I fight for, though, and I shall hold onto this as the muster begins.

With so many warriors in Arx, it seems that we forget words can cut just as deeply as blades -- and the wounds they leave behind do not heal so well, or so easily. It is a lesson I regret having to have learned myself.

Slowly but steadily, I'm getting somewhere. That is a relief, to be quite honest. And I hope I'll be able to show it in my work.
I'm grateful my clients are patient.

Captain's Log - 12/20/1007
I sailed into port three days back. Already been pulled into a war meeting and told I'd be advising on matters nautical. It's funny watching folks try to understand that Northerner can sail. Not only that, but we also have big, big mountains back home. Not a flat-lander. Not a land-dweller.
So far, I can say that Arx is a whole lot warmer. Considering those icy winds just started back home, it's a relief. Don't let anyone from the North fool you - just because we CAN survive the cold doesn't mean we like the winter up there. Admittedly I'd probaby melt living in Southport, but the point stands.
Now to find myself a new sword and something to do with some free time.

I was pleased to hear that Princess Marian took home the title of Champion of the Gauntlet this year. Though I am sad I managed to miss the event itself.
Next year, I suppose.

I have apparently had a fascinating night. I write this here, lest I anger your husband, but, you need to send my cook that lemon cake recipe. And the other one you shared and I don't mean what was in my wine.
Though that was lovely too.

I've spent a number of nights at a bar with this Kennex Lord, which makes him likely the person whom I've tolerated the most social interaction with in recent times.
Our social interaction consists of us not talking and occasionally drinking.
