It is important, in these oh so trying times, to remember the good things in life. Like how I once saw an actor sit on his own delicate bits so forcefully that the show had to be cancelled for the evening.

It should be known that my brother, Lord Damon Wyrmguard, after careful thought and consideration; no longer speaks for my house, myself or my family. His voice to speak for mine is suspended from this point forward until I see fit. This is with a heavy heart and a sound mind I make this request.

May the circles of life keep us, protect us and keep us connected.

The caravan trip here was more peaceful than I've found the city to be... I'm not sure what to make of a place where a Princess blithely invites a butcher to be here friend, it's comforting on one hand and suspicious on the other. Not to mention I managed to find a job shortly after stepping foot into a tavern, the pace is so fast and the only thin that is familiar is Julea. Surprise.

Relationship Note on Deva

Princess Deva Redrain is an archer and a lady of uncommon beauty; a devilish combination. She's also got a sharp, sharp mind. I forsee a very lengthy friendship with the Voice of Redrain.

Looking through the shops in the great market has been about as tiring as I'd expect. Especially in leathers as they are still the lightest clothing I have. I wonder if the southern folk will care overmuch if I walk around only half clothed? It's beginning to be an appealing alternative to silks and such to stay in this weather.

Relationship Note on Valencia

Valencia is much more withdrawn than I expected amongst her family! Yet still enchanting. Some friction between her and her cousin Deva; I certainly hope I can help them get along better, if I can...especially since I'd like to spend more time with both of them.

Relationship Note on Esera

Every time I meet with the Archduchess of Flowers, I am moved by her grace and depth of spirit. She apologizes for things she should not even where other won't, and takes account for those that others would never. She does not deserve the position that others have put her in, but she is certainly a liege worthy of respect.

And I did not think it was possible to surprise her, but I think I did, this evening.

I have arrived in the city some time after my Lord Somhairle. The weather is hot, the people to haughty, and the lack of tasks to attend to is dull. I am not sure if I will like being south, but I am sure that this tumultuous time will need my attentions. Until I decide how best to spend my time in the city, the first order of business is finding something lighter to wear.

To the Faithful Reader:

It is a hobby of mine to read the white journals. Not the contemporary ones, nor the ones useful for historical reference, necessarily; those fall into the category of research, and research is work, not play.

And yes, even I play, sometimes. More rarely, these days, than I might wish. But I often explore the white journals of long-dead philosophers, artists, poets, and other such individuals. The twists and turns of their minds are fascinating, and there is such beauty in those simple words or careful images, long forgotten. For example, one that returns to my mind more and more often these days:

"Supposing that I should have the courage
To let a red sword of virtue
Plunge into my heart,
Letting to the weeds of the ground
My sinful blood,
What can you offer me?
A gardened castle?
A flowery kingdom?
What? A hope? "

The original poem ends with another line, but I have omitted it. Not because it is not a fair ending, but because I feel the question remains unanswered, when I ponder it.

The events of today worry me greatly. What I saw was the single most sorrowful thing I have ever witnessed, and it broke my heart. To see something so pure, so beautiful as the very air we breathe... snuffed out in painful anguish.... Hours later it still brings tears to my eyes.

How do I stop this from happening?

I need to prepare, for if what I did today had this result... what is going to happen with the others I come into contact with?

Relationship Note on Alrec

Alrec Magaldi.

You are a man of consumptive want. Nothing is ever good enough for you.

You can never be content. You will always hunger. It leads you to choices made that you will always regret. You will always regret that you left Darkwater for the Pravus, even as their luxuries sooth that regret.

You will always regret the other choices you have made that compromise your honor and your integrity. You will always regret that your avarice has cost you everything.

Your rank. The respect of others. The trust of others.

I offer you the scorn in my voice.
I offer you the back of my hand.
I offer you the edge of my blade.
I offer you nothing more.

Relationship Note on Branan

I met this scholar outside of the Velanosa estate, shortly after Niccolo had put the heads of the traitorous Iron Guardsmen on pikes. What ensued was a fascinating debate on the nature of death, art, and religion. Though I do not share his beliefs, I am curious about his mind, and look forward to speaking with him more.

Relationship Note on Salazar

This fascinating lord apparently writes lewd poetry, and in the back yard of the Pravus manor, I offered to set it to music. Though the party went in other directions, I shall have to seek him out to see if there is a profitable collaboration to be had.

Relationship Note on Niccolo

I suppose that's one way to do it. I prefer when they just disappear. It always felt so much more mysterious and foreboding that way.

I suppose I'll take the princesses to the beach, since it's summer, rather than the gardens.

Let it be recorded here for all royal wards of the future, even if you grow up amongst them, Velenosa princesses are Velenosa princesses. Don't take their toys.

They don't share well.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
