The gate is shattered. So many people died in that place, in the homes near it, and in the carnage that ensued in the battle. I found thralls, the elderly, and children among the dead. None of them deserved what happened.

It is a terrible injustice that Tolamar Brand inflicted upon our people, and one death is not enough punishment. I can only hope that the fate he finds at the hands of the gods is agonizing enough to pay for the innocents who died in the city.

We sustain losses. We rebuild.

We lose brothers. We remember.

I'm sorry... I really don't know what to say in rememberance.

I'm sorry Kasim.

I'm sorry Castor.

I won't cry for the loss, because we all know that it was for the right reasons.

The blood still runs in the street and the dust is beginning to settle. People are howling their victory to the gods and the sky and it's a good day. And still, my head strays to those nearest to me, my heart hopes everyone is alright. Even then, I search for my hammer and a pocket of nails, a tall person with broad shoulders to help with the lifting.

Our work of rebuilding has just begun, but for now, it's a good night to breathe.

Relationship Note on Darren

Sherrod would be so very proud of his son for his success in this battle against Brand's Silent army. Things looked grim for a while up in the Redrain Ward, but we prevailed and we were victorious. There's something admirable and awe inspiring about a leader that out of nowhere starts singing. In the middle of war, surrounded by carnage and bloodshed with allies and foes falling left and right, he just..starts singing. Songs of glory and war. What's more? Many of the soldiers joined, including myself. It was hard not to. It was one of those moments that sends chills down your spine and gives you goosebumps by how fucking amazing it is. I'll gladly fight beside Darren any day.

Tonight, victory goes to the Compact.

We stand united, we stand together - Bears, Serpents, Griffins, Foxes and Dragons. We fought as one, we defeated our enemy as one. Tomorrow will bring new challenges, but I will never forget: we are stronger united, then we ever will be apart.

I hope that everyone I love knows it. I hope that if I don't come back, each of you still knows and remembers that. Because I do. I love each and every stupid, brave idiot in my life.

My family's not limited to blood. No one's is. Never forget that.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

And so it begins. Today we make our final stand. If I'm to go, I'll go fighting with the bears, killing as many of our enemies as I can. To the last, Redrain, you're the best adopted tribe I could ever have asked for. I'll give everything to ensure your survival.

If I live? I'm drinking. A lot. Those fuckers better get off my fucking beach. I want to go swimming.

I hear them.... outside the walls of our ward. I hear the towers moving, nothing else. No sound. The Silent Army comes. It is time for me to go up to the ramparts, to wield my bow. I will shoot every arrow to the best of my ability. I will admit, there is fear.. I am not a warrior. I am not made to fight, but I will.

I do it for the Compact. I do it for the people. I do it for the Spirits.

Hopefully, I will come out of this battle with stories to tell and offerings of thanks to give. I feel their energy within me. My soul is strong, may it help guide me true on this day.

A jeering song for the walls:

Break yourselves upon our gates
Our arrows' heads shall be your fates
We stand tall and strong before your hate
With gods behind us, five and eight.

This is our City, these are our lives
This is our army, see how it strives,
This is our might and we'll crush you betimes
Face our wrath for your Abyssal crimes!

Cora came to the Reach, with her children and my brothers children... and Demi brought my little girl from the Inn.

We're staying here, the safest place that we could be, I told her.

We prayed for our brothers. Every one that is fighting for us in the city. At least, if any of them die for the cause it will be as free men...

Be well. Each and every one.

I've completed my prayers in the shrines throughout the city. I can only hope that the gods will watch over us as we go into this impending battle. I know not when the enemy will make their advance. They've been on the move with much more activity of late, so it will be soon. I will be prepared to face them.

The waiting is the worst part of it all. I am fearful. It would be a fool who does not recognize that fear can be hone courage. My greatest fear is for those within the walls who are unable to fight. The elderly, children, and others who would be a greater obstacle in a pitched battle than a boon. Since I've come to call Deepwood Manor my home and mingled with the many refugees there, I've come to understand that wars and battles are more than the warriors on the front lines. There are a great many left unaccounted for in the risks of warfare.

I will not go into this titanic battle for myself, Deepwood, or even my respective lieges. I will go into it for the people who are counting on every sword and spear that will fight in the streets on their behalf. Arvum needs us, so the righteous must answer that call.

Relationship Note on Calarian

...written in her own scratchy, near-illegible hand...

Calarian. Maybe I am bad for you exs--except for the swords I bring. Maybe there is no baby yet. Maybe I think you need to laf--laugh more. I think I am not a good city wife. But I am glad we married. You give me some smiles. If I live maybe there will be more.

If I die I tell the Gold Feathers to stay. To learn the city path. To help you learn ours.

Do not forget to feed Quork.

...as dictated to a priest of Vellichor...

Gold Feathers are ready. It is good, this. To see the enemy come finally after much time spent waiting. Waiting is bad for people in fighting times. It is like mice who eat away at the crust of bread. They would eat and eat until nothing is left for the children.

We will be at the gate. A thousand of us to move quickly after those that come through.

We are ready. It is good.

We move to fight once again and once again I will stand and I will defend Arx and my family and loved ones. But this time I do so with opened eyes with a new out look, we will take down the evil and fight back the darkness and I will do so till my last breath is taken.

Tomorrow the sun will shine on an Arx that either has new leadership or far fewer people than it should. The walls are lined with those who look forward if only to protect those that are behind them. I do not know if Brand believes the siege of the city has been a success. The attack might indicate he believes so. It does not change that the landscape of faces in Arx will change by the end of it all.


Long live the fighters.
