The recent naval maneuvers have concluded to satisfaction. Some key lessons were learned by varied folk of many fealties; many of whom are talented but inexperienced. It is best that such lessons are learned now, at the cost of brused and broken teeth, rather than learned in earnest on the tides of war.

Whether or not such will be enough...
We shall sea.

Relationship Note on Antonio

"I wasn't aware there was anything other -than- sailing and flirting. Oh yes, drinking. And swimming."

IRON PENTATHLON 1006 AR

Iron Cup Winner: House Grayson

5000 Metre Race:
Gold = Duke Cristoph Laurent
Silver = Princess Reese Grayson
Bronze = Princess Marian Redrain

400 Metre Swim:
Gold = Princess Reese Grayson
Silver = Dame Esoka Greenblood

Bronze = Prince Aiden Grayson

Archery:
Gold = Prince Fiachra Valardin

Duel Tournament:
Gold = Prince Luca Grayson

Princess Reese accumulated the most medals out of any participant -- one of each -- while Dame Alexis Wyrmfang had the second most (Silver and Bronze).

House Valardin contributed the most resources to the Iron Guard and filled their roster completely! Their ability to rally together and contribute to a cause is very admirable.

Thank you, everyone. It was a pleasure to run and I will likely do it again.

I've always done some sketch work, in a pad that I kept tucked away from the sight of prying eyes. I liked that more than writing in journals, even this one. Sorry, Vellichor. It wasn't until we opened up the shop that I decided to bother trying to sell any of it. I've been pleasantly surprised to see that people actually want to buy the crap that I'm able to produce. Even if I'm mildly concerned with this city's obsession with animals. If there's a market for painting kittens and puppies and other adorable things, then I'm fine with making some extra cash that way. I'm sure Gild doesn't mind.

I also find that working art can be relaxing and quite contrary to other aspects of my life. That said I've spent an undue amount of time tonight painting detailed images of spiders at a wedding and I think it's ruined me for sleep tonight. I'm going to scrub my eyes and return home.

It has been quite the Year, and battle has worn me down. However, I am happy that I still do have friends. I've come to terms with some things in life, things that took a lot of Faith to get through, but still much I have to consider, before I can be happy, perhaps. Battle leaves one quite weary. The siege took a lot from many.

Relationship Note on Skapti

They did not get me doing it. I just did not do it. I rather enjoy puns. I wrote a whole poem of puns to someone. I found it quite entertaining.

The next person to publish a White Reflection containing an ocean pun will receive a pecuniary reward from Archlector Aureth Grayhope, of either 20 economic or 50 social writs. At your preference. Limited time offer.

I'm just here to sea the wash of puns come into the journals.

The Archlector is offering rewards for sea puns. I wonder if he realizes that those jokes are kind of all washed up and that we should all just seas and desist.

I like Lady Eirene.
She's nice, despite being a bit harsh.
And each time I see her I learn something.

Relationship Note on Pietro

Pietro was one of my older brothers, and then got himself killed doing heroic things. He went into a beserker rage while fighting the Bringers of SIlence and helped save countless lives. I'm beyond angry that he got himself killed, but -- who can argue that his sacrifice saved so many people. I miss him quite dearly. We didn't have enough time together.

So titles. Radiant. Call her that. She almost fucking -glows-. Keeper of Light was something I read somewhere, Queen, King's protector, blah blittly blah...
Greets. I'm head of Mini Health, Physicians, can we please meet so we can talk about the King, I study medicine and weird shit so I want to better understand how you help him. Hopefully we can get along and I can actually ease my mind over some things - uh don't put the last part. Sign it with every fucking title you can remember I have so it looks formal and shit. I hope she doesn't think I'm a stuffy prick though.

I saw the strangest thing out on a hunt this week. A family of boar correlated to the bodies in a shallow grave. It really gives one a moment of pause to think how we are all connected. Spirits and bodies, an endless cycle. The concept of a soul is such a strange thing to ponder.

I loved the royal wedding. Of course, I pretty much love all weddings that I attend ... as there is little that delights me more as the public celebration and embrace of pure oaths of loyalty. Yet I am delighted to see a little spectacle in our spectacle.

At the reception, I watched King Alaric IV and Queen Symonesse greeting their guests and was charmed and delighted by the warmth both showed to each individual they greeted. I'm sure I even witnessed a _group hug_! It gives me new hope for the future, just the joy and kindness and good feelings that I feel like I witnessed, and I'm sure I saw smiles on faces from every House in the Compact.

Yes, all right, the spiders were a little creepy and unsettling, but if they really did weave that glorious wedding gown, sign me up for a set of my own please!
