Oh, no, I think not. It's what helps me avoid attempts at elevation.

My word. The bed of a Velenosa princess really seems to be a ready path to the peerage. Maybe their noble breeding stock is running thin.

If people consider the Paper Fleet childish, they clearly weren't in attendance at the Wake of Lights.

To any who consider the Paper Fleet childish, I would remind them that to create a prayer boat is an act of faith. Faith in Mangata, faith in Vellichor, faith in all our Gods, faith in the men and women who will stand against the Eastern threat, faith in ourselves. Do not take it lightly.
Any agent of the Knights of Solace working in Solace Square will be glad to take your prayer, or help you compose one.

Relationship Note on Edain
I have continued to work on the song for the High Lord's child. Those I've shared my progress with have referred to the first part as "The Valardin Lullaby." I feel proud that people are having such a strong response to it. I think the first two verses were stronger, but I think these make for a good finish to it.
Quiet, Baby!
Keep Faith always in mind.
Power can be fragile,
But less so if you're kind.
Sleepy, Baby!
A lady or a lord!
Nobility defined:
Your hand will hold the sword!

Relationship Note on Shard
I have to disagree, Shard.
Heroes most definitely do exist. They have, since the beginning, if you ask me.
They are heroes for a reason, and that reason may vary. Some might say that a person saving another person's life is a hero. Even if that person did so out of a sense of responsibility or duty (or even pay). Some... might say that, Shard.
...someone, might be saying that now.
But. Being a hero does not make a person infallible. Heroes have faults, just like anyone else, so in that, yes, expecting a person, even a hero, to be flawless not only leads to problems, but is foolish.
People are People in the end... but some people are heroes.

I have gotten mixed responses for my paper fleet idea. I'm aware it is childish, but that isn't always a condemnation of something. I'm hoping we can come together for so simple of a thing.

I had occasion to catch up with cousins I have not seen in what feels a lifetime, as well as meet the famed Dame Morrighan and a Valardin prince.
It is both wonderful and maddening to know Prince Kieran has not changed a bit from childhood, though I swear appropriately horrible revenge if I ever see one frog in the villa. I had half a mind to bribe the staff into keeping him away from my room, but it’d be pointless; he’d charm them to his whim despite it. Princess Echo I don’t think I’ve seen since the wedding but get the feeling we could truly be quick and close friends beyond our family ties.
Just when those tinges of homesickness start to settle over me, the fates somehow conspire to send me reminders that Arx, too, has many joys to offer and make me glad to be here.

Relationship Note on Aislin
Our paths didn't cross until recently. She was busy adventuring, I was busy with the Hundred. But when we did meet, and when we first got a good look at each other it was - she was - well. She was my friend. My confidante. Someone I could laugh with, someone I could be myself around. She knew me, knew my struggles, and had good advice for them more often than not. The last time I saw her she came to grieve for Killian. We shared drinks and memories. We talked. We planned - an adventure and some evenings together, quietly talking under the stars.
I hope she is not dead. I hope she is on another adventure. I hope to see her again - ideally on this side of the Wheel.
I miss her already.

I just think it's funny that these big bad boys with their -ten whole years- of experience of the -horrors of war- are so willing to spout off about it to people they've never met. He never even asked my name, just called me 'Dear' and patronized me. He never even asked my name. He just assumed. And you know what happens when you assume.
Does that mean he wants to play? Maybe I'll show him the real horrors of war.

Excerpt from the Warriors of the Lyceum, a book in progress by I, Aerandir Elensar of Southport.
From childhood on, we hear tales of heroes in times of war. Their bravery and prowess become shining examples of the strength and glory that the Compact can achieve. Then, as childhood disappears, so do our dreams. How can battle prowess be any example to the life of a merchant?
We forget that these heroes live their life the same way as they fight their battle. As we can learn from them in battle, so can we learn from them to live and brave our challenges in life with all our heart. This book describes the ways of the warriors of Lyceum so they may be an example to us in life.
How is this to be interpreted, then? It may be in two ways; there is the literal sense, where warriors of the Lyceum are trained by similar principles for their warfare, but there is also the metaphorical sense, in which battles are challenges in life; where enemies are our own doubts and fears, and the path is the road to enlightenment and following our dreams.
The book is considered a work in progress. Not because it is incomplete, but simply because the path it describes is infinite and the wisdom of the path of the Lycene is endless.
