House Igniseri lost more than half of its fleet in the battle of Redshore Reef this week. It was heart wrenching to see so many ships go down, even though every one of them fought to save a life, some of them freed thralls themselves. Each person we lost will be honored in Igniseri lands.
Why are people so bent on keeping Thralldom. Is something akin to keeping people as slaves that important? Can't they, too, see that in keeping them they are being chained as well? Chained to a system and society that values people as nothing more than property to be held until some unseen debt is paid as more debt adds up? If they let their people have choice, allow them to prosper and flourish, don't they understand that their holdings would prosper and flourish as well? How much more work would get done if the people under them were allowed to be happy? The Dagonites are so, so short sighted that the'd rather kill kin and family over their right to keep people as chattle.
After going over the books, we not be able to rebuild our fleet until sometime long into the spring or summer, which I believe means we're going to miss one of the incursions. By some stroke of luck, some of the Dagonite men surrendered to us, rather than taking their chances in the water, and we have some prisoners. I do not know how much the Dagonites care about these men, specifically House Bloodbrook, but maybe we shall see. Until that time, they will be well kept as guests of House Igniseri, and afforded the comforts that the reaved thralls the Dagonites do not get.

Returning to Arx at such a time has been an experience. One that's shown me how much I have yet to learn to truly consider myself 'up to date'. Fortunately, there seems to be a great many opportunities to learn, and I look forward to nothing more.

I worry over my people, the ones from our ill-turned experiment. We do not rest, we do not sleep. The Arvani healers that are bent to finding a cure for this affliction are self-less and well-led, but I am relieved that Kenjay did not follow me. I have faith Miles and the others will find a way. They will.
They must.
They must.

I refuse to let my children be raised in a world where slavery or thralldom is welcome. I will fight it tooth and nail.

"Stabbage"
verb. - colloquialism used in the lower Setarcan disctricts
The motion one makes while wielding a luncheon knife when a certain infamous Crow messenger has left so many letters that they are overflowing off the table, and the receiver has not opened a single one, but he asked for a sandwich.

I find it serendipitous to find so many mentions of poetry in the whites the week I've returned home after so long away. It is a fond wish that I have been missed at least a fraction as much as I've missed this city and its dreamers.
* * *
We are all creators for we all dream,
and in our slumber, our minds craft
a universe uncharted, wrought of thought.

My wandering feet have brought me back to Arx and I suppose that it is high time that I put some roots in the ground. Speaking of roots, I'd heard disturbing tales of troublesome trees from local villages within the Oathlands during my travels and there is a tension that resides within each household as families struggle with the decision of possibly relocating for fear they'll be next. Even more disturbing, was my passing through the small township of Pimpled Pine to find it void of all life. It looked as if all the folk, that had been laughing a week or so ago during my visit, just vanished into thin air.
From animal attacks, towns mysteriously being empty of life, and now we've got agitated oaks? It is a strange time.

Tee hee, I've had this smart idea
And Princess Lou will hate it
How can I make it come to be?
I know, I'll enlist a creative
What I want is custom made
Rhymes to discompose her
Donate silver? Of course not
I'll pay you in exposure
Some might say that this is rude
Some might call me a hater
But it's the very bestest plan:
As they say, none greater.

Clearly in poetry, it is quite important to keep in mind the differences in regional vowels and letterings. I love this sort of challenge.

My return to Arx has been fantastically enjoyable already. Reuniting with my cousin and meeting new friends has been a delight. I look forward to making many more. The social scene here remind me ever so fondly of home.

Odd one out swinging around, but smart enough to pay due respect. If only there were more who knew their way around basic fuckin' etiquette not related to banquets and silken gowns. Still oughta learn to dress the part, though.

What a treasure to return to the city and associate with so easily again! The humble House Corsetina is well-attended here by my cousin, and I'm ever so grateful to have her to turn to - and to support in turn.

I been on a fresh tour of the Lows and there's things I like to see and things I don't. Some corners look nice and fed but others, they get neglected. I don't like it. There's money out there in this fancypants ass city, see, and too much of it for us not to have our hand in yet.
