Relationship Note on Asher

Asher and I had the same friends growing up but we did not really know each other until after we were grown up. Never had the chance to work with him but know the guys that do. He's the sort of fella you want on your team. He introduced me to the Grayhopes and got me a part time with them. Very much appreciated.

Relationship Note on Marian

Met the Sword of Sanctum. Quite a nice woman, we talked about swords and past battles a bit, made recommendations for a place to shop as well. Anyone reading this, I really recommend you to shop at Hana's Storied Blade.

It is strange to be so close to making life while surrounded by so much death. I understand the darkness that mires so many of my peers, I have dwelt in that shadow for most of my life myself and yet now, I find myself hopeful, and focused on tomorrows rather than todays.

5/24/1006 AR, during the Siege of Arx, I have completed a segment of my life. I have resigned from the Guild of Champions - and sincerely wish them well. The Champions have been my home for four years, and I have learned much from them during that time. I will always be there if they have need of me, for they are my friends. But that part of my life is done and it is time for the new.

As part of my new life, unburdening myself from the past, I hereby forgive Prince Luca for the slight of not inviting me, his best friend, to his wedding.

Today, on 5/24/1006 AR, the Gold Order of the Dragon is officially founded.

One way or another, it ends soon. This is an enemy that cannot be outrun, and thus I have not left the city. I will stay, and watch as we triumph over this foe, or are brought down into Oblivion.

The stakes could not be higher, our situation more dire. Triumph, or we lose, now and forever, past, future and present devoured into nothingness.

But we shall not despair, for from the depths come courage. We are not sheep meekly accepting our fate. We are cornered animals defending our home, a home that goes beyond merely Arx. We have been backed to a wall, and cannot, will not, take one more step back.

Brand has offered us a choice. Oblivion, now or later. The Compact will not be so generous. We offer him and his ilk the Abyss, now and forever.

People have been asking me what I'm going to do if we survive the siege.
I don't know.

I suppose once we're allowed outside the walls I should go look for Petrae. Or what's left of her, anyway. See if any of my things are still there.
After that?
I don't know.

Relationship Note on Armel

Of the people I expected to run into while carrying a bunny, Sir Armel was not on the list.

Everyone acts like the Knights of Solace are untouchable heroes. Legends even. They act as though Knights are not men but simply actors in a fairy tale.

Everything is always pretty, bright, and no innocents or good men go home harmed.

Sir Armel was a stark reminder that the rumors are far from the truth. He's clearly a capable leader and has done much for Knights of Solace as well as the city. But that same work has left a mark.

I think that I admire him more for that.

Sometimes I am tempted to drink some of the herbal brewed wines we stock. Organizing charity is much more stressful than I ever imagined.

Especially when every hour that passes is an hour I sit here in my shop wondering if any of my warrior friends have fallen in the siege.

I should make Princess Reese a bundle of supplies to carry with her. Something that she could perhaps attach to her steed.

For my uncle, something small enough that the dogs could carry.

Gods, if I start naming people this list will get too long. Why can't my friends have nice, safe hobbies? Like baking.

To the Faithful Reader:

As a general note, from here unto perpetuity, let it be known that my bird is off limits for all manner of bothering, harm, or molestation. If she attempts to pull out your hair to line the rather magnificent nest she has been building, it is permissible to gently (gently!) flick her beak. Otherwise, leave her be, under pain of my most acute disapproval.

I have the last of what is needed gathered so I can give woads to those few who have expressed interest in private to me. Surprising none of them have been from the north. Though perhaps they were all seen to in the large woad ceremony.

Relationship Note on Joslyn

~Written in Northlands Shav~

I am not sure if it is because of my poor skills with the words of the city dwellers and their.. tongue of trades and lies or if it is simply the fact that when she looks to me and my messages and sees nothing but a savage. My help was offered, and dismissed. My request ignored.

I have gathered those I could to help defend the city, Others like me that come from the wilds and have bent knee in the face of the darkness outside the gates. Those who know that it is not simply a fight for the compact and for those within the city but one for our blood far beyond these walls and the spirits of the wilds.

I hope that we are ready for the fight ahead, I am not a man who commands and yet here I have gathered these others to fight with me.. I hope only that I can help see them through the trouble ahead and that I am able to protect those who I call friend when the time comes..

When the need is there and greatest.

If only our first true meeting and discussion could have been under better circumstances. I am sorry not because of what I said about your brother the oath breaker but because of your loss. It is never easy.

Relationship Note on Lark

~Written in Northlands Shav~
She has taken me on as her Protege, From what I understand this can be a very good thing for me. I thought it best to accept given the friendship between us as well as the numerous items she purchases from me and has commissioned. I look forward to seeing where this path leads..

Relationship Note on Aiden

~Written in Northlands Shav~
It isn't the fact that you believed that I would be capable or guilty of murder that makes me question if there is friendship there or can be..
It is the fact that rather than coming to me and asking first you decided to go to those who have much emotion invested in such things.
It is that you did not simply ask me as friends before asking me as Questioning.. as interrogator.
