Relationship Note on Calarian
A Grayson prince who has recently arrived within Arx. Reportedly brought a substantial number of Abandoned with him. I assume of course that they chose to bend the knee and become Prodigal. He informed me that his arrival preceded the siege by only a short period of time. I hope that he remains safe at the very least. Arx is a wonderful place this time of year, but it currently has a few uncouth visitors who should rightly be summarily sent back northward. Preferably in some nice sealed jars with a politely worded note to inform those far, far to the north bring closure to their aggression. Ideally these sealed jars bearing the Bringer ashes would be militarized in some manner.
I digress, of course. The prince showed ample respect for my service to the Crown, which I of course appreciate it. It was a sacrifice made. Even if it was a necessary sacrifice. Time moves forward though and here we are now. I'll say a prayer to the gods on the prince's behalf and encourage them to ensure his safety. Or at least put appropriate parties in place at the right time to ensure that he remains safe.

Drinking won't help.
I don't know why people drink. Even worse, why I do it.
I know I'm forgetting something but I don't know what...
I want the siege to end.
And I want him to be himself again.

I don't talk about this much because I know that in the end? I am one person. However I am still so in awe of something that happened to me. Something that made my faith deeper and my spirits lift. I didn't know what I wanted to say and I am still not entirely sure I have the right words.
I wrote a prayer down because I meant it, because before every fight, every battle. I pray. I pray for the safety of our people, for the hope that people will come home to their loved ones. All of those things. I wrote this prayer in my journal because I wanted people to see that maybe I am shamanistic and maybe I am a heathen but I care. That I fully believe that The Gods of The Faith exist. I have seen proof of it. I have seen a blessing. I know that people have gotten visions.
Well I wrote a prayer. I got a vision, a reassurance that the Old Gods and Spirits would lend us aid, that Arx would not fall. I heard them the night of the siege. I heard their voice and I knew they had come. I saw them. They came, they helped as they promised they would. I prayed for their safety while they were there. I heard them again telling me not to worry.
So for that Thank you, Gods of Old, Spirits and the Gods of The Faith. Thank you for all that you give, for all that you bless. Thank you for hearing my prayer and blessing us with your presence. I for one will forever be grateful for all that you do for us. Thank you for everything, for listening to me. For hearing my words and caring for us.
I know I put all the Gods in there but now is not the time to shun someone for being different. Now is the time we band together and fight.

Relationship Note on Anze
I'm glad you and Calypso both could be present. And, will be able to travel to Sanctum once we kick Bringer ass.
Also, giver of red wool hats. Yes I will wear the brightly dyed hat if we travel north. I would not want to get lost in a random snowdrift. It matches absolutely nothing I own, so it will be like a bright, shining, out of place beacon.

This certainly isn't my first siege, though I have to admit I much more prefer to be on the other side of the bloody fucking gates or harbor. Bloody fucking mess this entire damned thing.

Once the Shamans gathered and called together a great thunderborn, Brought to fight the darkness. But now paths are lost, People are lost. The old beliefs slowly dwindling like the last light of a fire in the early hours of the morning. Is the strong belief of a few enough? Or like before are many needed with true belief.. and two selves.

Relationship Note on Karadoc
As a young girl I enjoyed being around Karadoc a lot, we were close. I could keep up with him and he let me play with him even though I was several years younger. When he disappeared I was quite sad but as it tends to, life went on. Now he is in Arx with me again and I am finding that even though it has been many years and we are different people now we are growing close again. I have missed him more than I would have thought, it is nice to have him back in my life.

It would seem my efforts to use the outlaws, rogues and pirates seemed to help. Not that I had my doubts, I know others wouldn't hear me on my thoughts.. But perhaps showing them spoke louder than words ever will. The fight though is far from over, More enemies lay in wait just beyond the horizon. Fucking bastards are gonna bleed, The seas made to flow red once more.

I'm happy for you, and it was a pleasant distraction from the darkness of the siege. Its always good to see someone find happiness.
I also hope you actually wear your wedding present, I put a lot of thought into that you know. Its the finest wool and the best dye and a strong guarantee we'll be able to find you when you fall into a snowdrift.

With all that has been going on, so much loss and so much sorrow. All of the fighting and the siege. A reminder of what we fight for, what we are doing all of this for was given to me in the form of being given the gift of being the one to perform the shamanstic ceremony for Fia and Alis. I was the one that was able to give the blessing in front of a small group of family and friends. I know that the ceremony that is for The Faith is the one that will legally bind them but this was something important I think. Not just to them but to all of us. It was a reminder of why we do what we do. It was a happy reminder and that my brother felt I was the right person to stand in front of him and his bride and perform the ceremony meant so much to me. My whole life Fiachra has always been there. Always had my back. For once I was able to do something for him. Something beautiful and filled with joy. I feel honored and blessed to have been able to stand in front of them and do the ceremony.
All I know is I would do anything to keep my brother and Alis safe so that they can know peace and so that their love can continue to shine.

I got reminded that even though the ports are open, we don't have a good connection to the north right now. I need to stash away some bottles of Rathlander in case this siege lasts to long. Spirits forbid I don't have any whiskey, I might go mad.

What an utter disaster of a day, in retrospect. Found out that two of the Grayson's prized and trusted Knights were Bringers in disguise. They were exposed by Killian though, and they, plus another one among the refugees, were swiftly hunted down and slain by myself, Killian, Aislin, Agnarr, and a fellow who's name I never actually caught. Looked a bit disreputable, dropped his sword, I think. But whatever his name, he fought the good fight, and I am grateful.
Also, that is the most idiotic thing I have ever done with my hammer. I don't care if it worked. The Gods were merciful this day.
Gods protect the soul of Man-at-Arms Gertrude. He was a fine Disciple, cut down before his time. May Death take him in her kind embrace and set him upon the Wheel, as it turns.
