Relationship Note on Zhayla
It happened so quickly. One moment the man was confronting Zhayla and the next releasing the dogs. I drew my sword and attacked one of the zealots. My diamond-plate sword did little to no damage. She fell to the dogs' claws and teeth within seconds. My efforts to get to her, to kill the dogs were in vain. My only recourse was to try to draw their attention, to use my martial skill to show myself as their biggest threat so the others could get away. I guess I did my job a little too well.
I am still here. I have no idea why the Gods spared me and not Zhayla. I am not more noble, more deserving. We both have roots as shavs. We both have served our houses well. I know by all rights I should have died that day. But I am still here and Zhayla is not. While I mourn for her loss, I am grateful to be alive. For those that were not there that day, she fought well. Celebrate the sheer martial skill and bravery that this prodigal carried when you attend her funeral. I may not be well enough to attend her wake but I will be there in spirit.
Please give prayers for Aksel Nygard who also fell that day and is recovering at the House of Solace. I do not wish any flowers or gifts to be sent. If you desire to offer anything, please send any donations to the House of Solace who's timely efforts saved my life.

Relationship Note on Edain
Hush! Hush, Baby!
Someday you'll be a knight,
You'll guard over the Oathlands
And keep it day and night!
Sleep now, Baby!
Find strength and courage, too.
Be loyal and have honor
For many trust in you.

I have many feelings I want to dedicate to Vellichor but I don't know how to sort them all out. All I know clearly is that I love this man, I have for a long time, and I want to carve that into my soul with vows to Limerance.
None of us know how much life we have. If there is any lesson I take from Gloria outside the battlefield, it is to live boldly and never shrink from doing something with a full heart, even if it's terrifying. Love is terrifying, but also amazing. I am thankful for the journey I've had with it, and eager for the rest of the adventure.

Relationship Note on Killian
If having been well loved in life eases the movement beyond, then it seems the Paladin will be ushered well into the next stages of being.
Love is more powerful than I give it credit for, if also far more complicated than many like to acknowledge.

In particular, I studied the ones of Paladins gone, passed on through the Wheel.
I hope I did well in preserving the life and achievements of them, I hope people rest their eyes upon each necklace and see the details of these brave, unique, wondrous souls.
Is it blasphemous to say I uttered prayers? That my shrine can be anything of Jayus may seem so, and forgive me, Archlectors and Disciples, if I toe a line I feel but cannot see. But I said fervent wishes to them that have gone on, and prayers of guidance and protection to those still with us.
Grant me clarity, Jayus. My fingers itch to do more than just make.

To the people of the Compact:
In the past few days, we have gotten news of many deaths. Loyal members of the Compact have fallen including a noble Dame Zhayla of Old Oak, Sword of Deepwood, and Lord Killian Ashford, Paladin of Ideals. We all mourn the loss of these men and women that have died protecting our lives and our land.
It has become apparent that these deaths are different. They happened in and near Arx. We've lost some of the Compact's finest fighters. I wish I could write to you that we need not be afraid, but I cannot. I do not want to unduly scare anyone, but these are scary times. There will be more deaths.
The people that have attacked us belong to a deranged cult, bent on bringing harm to the Compact. They are allied with the Shav'arani pirates that terrorize the Mourning Isles. They worship the Abyss and believe by sacrificing young women they will be able to defeat us. The Inquisition, the Iron Guard, the Crown, and all the Fealties are working to combat these maniacs. Their forces in Arx were slain, but it would be unwise to think they are gone for good.
All citizens of the Compact should be on the lookout for anyone - citizen, prodigal, shav, or otherwise - that is seeking out particular young women. If anyone sees or hears such things, they should contact Lord Commander Silas or Master of Questions Laric ASAP. Citizens should also be aware that security around Arx, and around the docks in particular, will be increasing in the coming days. Please be patient. Please be kind.

Notation: Though 'For One More Day" is not mentioned in the song, that is what those listening to it suggested for a title.
In memory of those who died 1007 AR - Composed by Lady Lucita Igniseri
Beneath the branches of an olden tree
Sat a lonely friend on its rooty knee.
By them an upended basket had spilled.
Their sad eyes with tears were filled.
When I knelt beside them to gently ask
Will saying what's wrong be a hard task?
Their sorrowful voice was husky, broken
As word by word their reply was spoken.
"I wanted more chances to say 'goodbye.'
"They're gone now." Came a soulful sigh.
"All that remains is there in the grass
"Letters from friends, messages passed,
"An old pet's toy, a sketch of a grouch,
"Some event tokens, a gift in a pouch.
"And beside them though you can not see
"Is my broken heart 'neath this olden tree.
