The sound of several pounds of steel armor crashing into the ground after being dropped off the balcony is amazingly satisfying. The only thing that might be more satisfying is if the owner of said armor was still wearing it while it was totally accidentally dropped over the side of the balcony.

Relationship Note on Stefano

House Caith has stood behind House Velenosa without question for a long time and I have grown up with Gildens in our nurseries for as long as I can remember, too.

Baron Gilden is new to his role, just as I am mine, or any of this generation are their new duties. That doesn't mean he's any less trustworthy, however.

Talen Velenosa requires the services of a smith, or carpenter, or whoever it is that makes wheelbarrows. It should have shiny rimmed wheels and ivory handles but large enough to fit a heavily laden princess for mobility purposes. In theory.

Relationship Note on Christine

She seems new in the city. She's with Thrax. I made her a blade, and she seems to be just trying to make her way around. It's good to see new nobility in the city coming in. It really helps to stabalize things in these recent times, having these folk sitting at the seat of power where it's easier to defer information from Arx to other areas.

Relationship Note on Arianna

I met this woman once or twice, then at my shoppe. She seems to be fond of wine and Lycene culture, and she also is quite kind and fun-loving as well. I'm hoping we can be friends!

Two men fell to fighting over a gambling debt today. One lies in the chirurgeon's office with brainbleed. The other will be hung from the yardarm come nightfall. His body fed to the fish. If the other opens his eyes, he may hang as well. None can agree which started the row.

Obviously I didn't kill myself last night. I was drunk. I'm not responsible for what is written while I'm drunk. That's why I write in the black book when I am drunk, not the white.

Two days at sea, the Coast is well, the men are well. Ghenti fell overboard. Passed out while shitting himself is the word. According to the chirurgeon he's had bowel issues since before departure. Good splicer of lines. Not much else positive to say of the sailor. Obviously his family will receive his pay from this voyage, dead or not. Good time to die though, we may be in Arx months, even years. That's a goodly sum for a family that can begin seeking a new breadwinner in less than a month.

More to focus on. Dragon, incredible creature, shame to kill but necessary. Perhaps corpse can be used to create new kinds of armor, medicine? Must salvage good from death, even if Dragon is malicious. Especially if malicious. I feel more at home researching these things, these days. Good or bad? Unknown. Stranger in normal land.

Well now. Quite the tasks I have before me. Especially with preparing our manor in Arx for proper formal occupation. Time for recruitment! Also time to start building some relationships up in this place. Seems attending the Tournament of Roses Grand Melee one way or another is in order. I bet an old eye eyed man could surprise some of them…

Red and Alarissa throw a good party, but fuck me, holding onto a bunch of steel silk all night was fucking nerve racking and I ain't gonna be parleyed into that again anytime soon.

Relationship Note on Alexis

You're welcome. I hadn't planned to run the Gauntlet that night, but there was incentive given in the form of the Duke of Telmar himself showing up at midnight to give his opinion on the nighttime runs. How could I not, when his encouragement was so hearty and vociferous? I will forever remember him in his nightclothes, face flushed with the exertion of sharing his outlook so vigorously.

I was happy to be able to attend the wedding for a short period of time.....but the spiders that were with the Queen..admittedly freaked me out. I couldn't stay long, but I was happy to show up for at least a small amount of time.

So many spiders....

I ended up attending the wedding between King Alaric and Queen Symonesse and it was quite the spectacle....first time I ever attended a wedding of such a caliber, and even moreso the first time I've met our monarchs.

Both of which are rather splendid.

A marvelous night indeed that I feel was celebrated for longer than a day in Arx.

Ah, the Royal Wedding was this week and it was the most wondrous thing, every bit like something out of a storybook. Oh, the Queen was so beautiful, and her husband so very handsome as well. It was just all too perfect, with none of the small worries that had circulated in the prior weeks amounting to anything. Afterwards, the party was magnificent, as one might have expected. In total, it is one great doubt lifted from all of us and a great moment for our people going forward.

Oh, and the Queen gave me her spider-woven veil as a gift later! I thought I might have exploded in joy.

Many may know that for quite some time, I was followed around by a very large bear named Fuzzy Wuzzy.

Unfortunately, I recently had to return him to Farhaven for a few reasons. You see, Fuzzy Wuzzy.. was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had quite a lot of hair. And apparently certain women frown upon sharing the bed with a large and intimidating companion that is as handsome as he is dangerous.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was very fuzzy, yes he was.

Remember my companion.

The King's wedding was very well done. The Queen looked stunning and the King looked very much alive and well.

Of course, I was lucky enough to have the most beautiful woman in all of Arvum on my arm. So I call the entire thing a huge success.

When I was younger, i used to sit and watched my mother bend steel to her will. Her face covered in sweat, her muscles moving in a hypnotic motion as she through her hammer down. She bent a little bit of the world to her will ever day, It was a beautiful thing to watched. She took less funds from clients, so I could be trained in different weapons. She realized that I didn't have the dexterity to do what she did, or maybe she thought I didn't have the strength to bend the world to my will. On days like this, I hope it is is the former.

Relationship Note on Reigna

SURPRISE!

Happy birthday, Reigna.

I cannot put into words how much this day has meant to me. I cannot thank those that have come out to celebrate with us enough. It means more than you shall ever know.
