I think I will not play any games that have to do with drinking any kind of mysterious drinks at fancy dinners. Wine is bad enough as it is when you are trying not to stick your foot in your mouth, as they say. I'll just stick to watching other folk drink them, as there's a lot you can learn by doing that. I learned noble folk sent portraits to one another when arranging a marriage, but I suppose that makes sense if they don't all live in Arx.

I've tried gelato, and I find I quite like it, though I reckon I'd like it better in the summer. It was a very interesting Velenosa dinner, but they usually are. And I quite liked the wine as well which was very pleasant and went well with the gelato.

Relationship Note on Valerio

Lord Valerio's probably not a bad man, really. Probably roped into a manipulative plot by Eleyna, even. Still, no chances are being taken. The challenge has been issued and I await the terms.

Relationship Note on Valerio

Lord Valerio Mazetti,
Voeyeur of Ostria,
Purveyor of Portraits,

I challenge you to a duel, on your given terms and against any champion you may name, in response to my offense taken during dinner this night. As guest right insists I leave you unharmed in this homestead, and quite frankly my legs are not the most sturdy, we will settle this outwith these walls as traditon dictates.

Don't ever request or accept another rendition of my wife's likeness ever again. Burn all existing portraits, if any remain.

Prince Talen Velenosa,
Sword of Lenosia

Relationship Note on Morrighan

I am so proud of Dame Morrighan, and regret that I could not attend her knighting ceremony. She has an inner fire that allows her to overcome all obstacles.

So..back in Arx. And the chaos has returned just in time for my arrival, what joy. I had thought that, considering how long I was gone, I might get to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet upon returning..that things might have calmed and normalized somewhat. Guess that's a never going to happen. On the other hand, I suppose that when it's quiet you have to worry just what the other side are up to..

I like their faces when they see something new.
They shine in awe.
Was I like that?

Relationship Note on Khanne

Invaluable co-host for Northerlude. Her coordination of the Northlands Development Council booths and party favors helped a lot. I look forward to doing more Northlands Development Council events with her.

I could not be more proud to be from the Lyceum than I am at this very moment. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to marry a man from House Malvici, nor would I ever have assumed the former Duke Malvici would now be the Marquis of one of my vassal houses. But here we are, Inigo and Hadrian are warmly welcomed into the fold.

Inigo and I had designs for our own rings but I came into the wondrous gift that was to be Leo and Esera's wedding bands so instead of our own rings, we chose to honor them both by using their rings instead. Our wedding was exactly as I thought it would be, quiet, intimate, private. It was just the two of us - and of course the officiant and a witness, but it was just Inigo and I in that moment and I felt the gods bless us that night.

I am looking forward to our reception. It will be a lavish affair as are all Fidante festivities.

I was off visiting the menagerie when there was some kind of mysterious pig making off with carrots. Prince Aiden had it all under control until we heard word of Prince Dominick being lost. That sort of took the fun out of it, for certain. Little pig better watch it. In the mood the city is in now, he'll be bacon soon.

I have told my patron, the Prince of Maelstrom, that he is forbidden from dying. If he dies before I do, I might just see if there is a way to bind his spirit to my shells.

Well, I suppose I would not really do that to him.

No one died, yet! Anyways, come for the poison, stay for the innuendo! Warning: Innuendo may lead to drunken duel demands.

An extravagant dinner in true Lyceum fashion. Really, what more can be said. No one died.

I'm writing here to add more that I didn't before about the Royal Wedding. I'm not one for receptions, but the wedding itself was beautiful, and I hope they don't mind me saying, but the bride was beautiful and the King was handsome. It was certainly quite the event. Lots of spiders.

I am from Velenosa, so it was not at all strange to see such an event. In fact it was interesting to see how things are done in Arx. It's only the second formalized sermon of the Thirteenth I've been to here.

I came, I saw, I remained for only a few minutes. I supported them as I could afterwards, the North has some nice traditions, I just wasn't in the mood for a crowd on that day. I heard it was a success past all that though, and I'm happy for that.

It was an interesting Rite and evening. I remained until the morning, and it was quite enlightening. However it is also quite tiring to remain awake for so much time. I'm hopeful to visit more shrines as they perform more rites. It's always good to learn more about the Faith than I could back at home.

As a belated note: I am not going to try my hand at tournaments again. I am pretty sure I would have Alis, Fia, Shae and possible others sitting on me to keep me from entering if I even thought about it.

I have more scars, that is kind of interesting. The getting hurt really badly wasn't.

About fucking time you smiled for a change.

Even if it was shoving my face into a snow drift.

Worth it.
