I was very proud to attend the ceremonial launching of the Carlotta today. The Lyceum's effort in bringing this naval technology to the Compact is deserving of every plaudit and appreciation they receive. I am tasking the Ministry of War to see about spreading these designs and knowledge across every House and working with all the navies of the Compact to refine and develop these ships further. Our great alliance should see the benefits in improved trade and security from these new Lenosia-class caravels in the coming years.
The afterparty in the map room was rather enjoyable, too.

Ah, emerging after a painting retreat.
I never get anything done. This should surprise no one. It's studies and discarded sketches, dragons and foxes, trees and fires, banal, really.
The purpose is to clean the canvas. Metaphorically speaking. Blanken the mind. Enough to come out refreshed.
Enough to come out missing everything and everyone that you take for granted.

That kid is a delight and the party was just amazing, they really deserve all the países.

The dedication was well attended, including the king and a few high lords. A fitting crowd for an exceptional ship named for an exceptional woman. I'm sure Carlotta would rather be here - I know I'd rather she were here - but I think she'd approve of this tribute.

The cutest little blond, with big brown eyes. I am so very much in love-- I just wish he would stop chewing the dining table legs. Or the couch cushions.
He is still the most loving little puppy in the world. I adore him.

I have spent my life staring into the mirror of the ocean, watching my reflection and waiting for a monster to look back at me.
Since my first days in Arx city, I stared at the statue of Koraj Marin, seeking inspiration. I sought truth, as the Sentinel wills, but the Thirteenth shows us two truths. If I knew that underneath the stony facade lay a lie, a traitor, would I still derive inspiration?
He fell striking out at the dark of the world, and has spent a millennia chained, with only the abyssal for company.
It on many days feels as if I wish for nothing more than to rend at everything the World holds black...
...and to have the darkness strike me back.

Relationship Note on Corban
This lord of the Telmarch is capable. Impressive.
I've not been brought so close to my knees by a single human for a long time. I was tested, to the point of exhaustion, to my very limits.
I'm going to endeavor to break them - I have not done enough.

I had heard it talked about, but I feel like I understand now what people mean when they say that it's easy to lose sight of your home when spending so much time in Arx. My recent trip back to Westrock Reach was a bit eye-opening. Thankfully that's settled.

I may have partied a little hard last night. Apparently I, in front of his wife no less, rode Count Keaton. Specifically rode him "hard, furiously, and victoriously." As a result, he in turn made sure I was able to make sure my shaft thrust true... Thrust true and deep... Thrust true, deep, and accurately. So onward, to victory upon such a strong hairy noble steed. Unfortunately I spurred him too hard causing him shortage of breath. Unfortunately, there are too many witnesses to eliminate, setting aside the fact that many of them are dear to me.
Once more, Happy Birthday Lady Khanne Halfshav! It was a pleasure to be of service and keep you entertained.

This has been a good week. Have had excellent times and company, and was able to horrify my Niece and her Husband. I think I'm feeling.. smug. I think the word is smug.

It has only been a week since I was told what killed my cousin.
Something ancient, a legend. Something I can scarcely believe exists.
A dragon.
The untold terror it would have caused to the Blackshore...the death, the screams.
Yet, wyrm:
In our legends, it is always you who are slain.

It has been almost a week since I put the Liquors of Arx out. I'm surprised nobody has complained I missed this liquor or that, or that I didn't say enough about this house or that merchant. Perhaps it just isn't being used or read, which I suppose is fair. I'm a novice at these things, perhaps will always be. Maybe I should put my efforts elsewhere.

Relationship Note on Nicia
I did not have the opportunity to get to know Nicia when she was a Pravus noblewoman but now that she is married to my cousin, Duke Cristoph Laurent, and is family by marriage, I am truly humbled and blessed to say we are becoming fast friends. She is intelligent and witty; sharp as a tack. It should also go without saying Duchess Laurent is drop dead gorgeous. I am sure Cristoph did not stand a chance against her. Besides, it's oh so good that he's chosen his bride from the Lyceum.

I am grateful.
I am still in a period of mourning over what was, and is over.
But I am surrounded by friends who have held me tight. Who have lifted me up. Who have supported me when my rooms became too empty to stand and my bed felt alien at night.
Thank you.

Relationship Note on Delilah
Lady Joslyn has been kind enough to introduce me to Lady Delilah Whitehawk, who appears a kind and gentle soul. A bit shy, perhaps, but... Well. Who wouldn't be in the company of two vivacious Lycene women. Quite frankly, I'm surprised I wasn't blushing more than I was.
I wouldn't expect her to be a member of the Inquisition, but then - I suppose that's sort of the point. And she's also part of the new Inquisition. The kinder, gentler Inquisition.
Hopefully, our first meeting spells the beginning of a long and wonderful friendship.
