I almost forgot to write this down, Scholars. Cows eat grass and hay and such things. Folk squeeze the tits on a cow for milk, which can be for drinking or for making cheese and butter. Butter's made mostly by beating the milk a whole lot. Cheese I'm not rightly sure but I think you've got to put some bit of the cow in the milk and wait a while for the milk to dry.

That's about all I know on cows. I don't know if elves got an opinion on them or anything.

It is a new year. It has been for a few days but I haven't written anything in here since. So far it's going well enough, as years can go. Haven't been in any fights this year but I reckon I'll knock the rust off when I fight in the melee, and hopefully knock some folk out too before I get knocked out myself. Other than that, there is not much to tell that will matter for the Archives.

I feel like I should write more but I don't know what. I have a new ring from Mistress Sameera and it's right pretty.

Well, in case in years to come all the cows have vanished, such as what happened to some other beasts, I am writing this down for the Scholars. Cows have got four legs and they come in different colors and some of them got spots and some of them got horns. There's a lot of good eating in all parts of the cow. Also, their skin is good for leather.

I really don't know what to write. All is well.

Relationship Note on Vanora

I met Vanora at the Shrine of the Thirteenth. She is quite an interesting person and has many insights about the Faith. I hope to speak more with her sometime about the faith and such things.

A new year....and spring draws closer each day.

Never before have I been looking so forward to spring. I have begun counting the days.

When you yell at a person for so long you can barely speak the next day.

Seriously, I sound like an old man. A really, really tired old man.

Also, throwing things. When that infuriating person comes over, I'll be sure to put everything away first. I've pried more gems out of Mongoose's mouth than I care to admit. Also stepping on them.

Time to wake up.

Relationship Note on Katarina

Princess Katarina Valardin,

The next time that you come you will need to have some hot tea blended with Laurent honey and Blackram whiskey. Perhaps this can be when we get together to discuss the possibilities for the winter festival. Also, my wife was murmuring to me regarding her desire to try out various pie recipes. I may require your aid in testing those.

The joust at the Tournament of Roses was grand, indeed. I competed and did all right. My first tilt again Silas, Baron of Whitehawk, ended with me the better. I regret that I faced him first, as it would have been fine if both of us had gone farther to represent Riven. But I was honored to ride against him, and against Sir Steve - a rather adorable Valardin knight - in the next match. I think he was a little afraid of me! But now that I've knocked him down and he's gotten back up again, we will be friends. This generally how I make friends.

My final tilt was against Royal Stablemaster Tristan, and I'm proud just to have tested my lance against his, even though I was unhorsed. He was the winner of the whole joust, coming out on top in the finals against a Valardin knight I did not know, Sir Tarrant Moore. Everyone will know Sir Moore's name now, with how he rode.

It was great fun, and I look forward to the coming melee. I pray Gloria and Limerance bless us with as fine a contest there as we had on the jousting field.

I made it into the Semi-Finals of the Joust before being knocked out by Jael, the younger Lady Laurent. It's exciting, actually. I've never jousted before I started to prepare for this tourney. Not so different from a lance in combat - and yet utterly different. The rules felt wrong. And some of those people were tremendous talents. I feel privileged to have made it as far as I did.

Also, I got King Alaric's favor. How great is THAT?

Almost took first place in the Tournament of Roses joust! I should never have given Sir Tarrant Moore my permission to smack the Voice of House Laurent.

In all honesty though it was loads of fun and I enjoyed myself immensely. I am happy to see one of our vassals making a name for himself, even if it's going to take a lot of mead to make me stop feeling like I was run over by a horse.

While I did manage to place for the finals in the Jousting Tournament, I'm afraid that my focus on being on my feet came back to haunt me - I beat my opponent in the first bracket, and then was promptly unhorsed.

Thankfully, I was unhorsed by Sir Tristran Crucible, who went on to win the whole thing, so I can't feel -too- bad about losing.


I saw a lot of impressive bouts today. I am sure Gloria smiled on us all, and Limerance found joy in the many bonds of favour exchanged.

Despite the lack of prowess I possess in horsemanship and especially jousting, I felt the need to represent the Fidante house in the Tournament of Roses. I took one of the fine Fidante mares, paid a carpenter to paint some lances in Fidante colors and entered. I managed to stay horsed, but I still lost after breaking three lances against a man who looked as if his life were spent around horses. In all, I did no better or worse than... say Prince Talen.

I have decided to get a second tattoo. It will be on the opposite side of my first one. I doubt many, if anyone, will see it. I don't exactly create desire in people.

Welcome Prince Donato of House Velenosa. You are so very, very welcome.

I hope your life is full of happiness and that you never feel sorrow or pain. I hope you are kissed by luck and embraced by love for all your days.

I hope you have a quick mind and a brilliant wit. I hope you always have the respect you deserve. I hope your dreams are beautiful and even if adversity finds you that you are able to rise above and overcome with style and grace.

I hope you are well loved and treated kindly, and that you treat others with generous kindness, but not so much you are taken advantage of.

I hope whatever mark you will make on this world will be one that you will be proud of.

I hope you will always know how much you are wanted and loved.

Please be happy little prince.

So, tournament of roses. Kinda a weird name for a grand tournament made to beat the piss out of each other, but if beating the piss is what I'm gonna do, I'm not much for complaining. The leathers are tanned and my axes are polished. Plural that is, I haven't decided which one I wanna use yet.

Anything to get my mind off of all of these fucking ridiculous talking bugs and animal bullshit that's been ringing through the masses. Petrichor has a sick and twisted sense of humor, that much I'm sure of. Or maybe half the damn city is just hallucinating, frankly that would be more believable at this point.

Isles Canines counts on a wardroom of influential members of the compact. They see the vision of this company. It currently also counts with Prince Aiden, its first officer. Whom's skill has turned my beasts into apex predators. Without him, this would not have been possible. With things coming to a lull, I intend to expand our business and provide a wage to my officers, and a return of investment for my wardroom. With that wage, I would like to recruit a quartermaster and a captain for our vessels. The quartermaster to help us expand in the market and the captain to command our ships.

Relationship Note on Fortunato

Fort threw a great party to celebrate Mae and I getting married. It was a blast. I got outrageously drunk, everyone looked amazing, and I didn't get nearly enough time to say hello to all the guests. I don't think the Grayhope Manor has ever had so many crammed into a room...

Many thanks to Fortunato! It was a fantastic time.

If anyone has an extra copy of the song Princess Serafine translated, I'd love to have it.

My deepest congratulations to Count and Countessa Navegant on a fine wedding and a great reception, which I had to miss. But I heard good things.
