Since this is becoming a trend, I suppose I shall partake.
In the event of my death, on the field of battle or otherwise, I want for my weapons and armor to be given to Ida, along with whatever mortal wealth I possess, to do with as she will. It is a paltry symbol, but I know she would do good works with it. If my body itself can be recovered in something resembling wholeness, I would like for it to be sent back to the Telmarch, to be buried by my family in our family plot, as if our tradition. Long have the Dastrid's served the realm in various capacities, and it would be my honor to rest there, with my kin.
It's a lovely spot really, near by father's forge, in a small valley under the protection of fine, hardy evergreens, with a babbling brooks singing most of the year nearby. In the spring, cardinals and bluejays roost upon the stones, and the morning frost at the end of the year gives a solemn, peaceful purity to the scene that I cannot ever quite describe in words alone. It is a feeling in my heart, and treasured much. But I pray, to all the Gods, that while I will do my duty, and not hesitate, that they will see it in their mercy to allow me more time before I join them. There is still so much to see. So much love to give. There is still so much left to the dance.

The steelsilk came.
Gods, it is so beautiful. So very, very beautiful.
I cannot wait. To Mistress Adora's shop I go. An indulgence I admit. It would take me many weeks of frittering away to get enough to wear. But no. No, this one has a special job.

I would like to add as further thought to my recent journal entry that it is the sad inability and, in other cases, unwillingness of people to understand one another that gives the genre of tragedy such power. A series of terrible events is set in motion because men and women, having their own interests in view, do not - or will not - listen to or perceive others with empathy.

Let this stand as my will, should I die despite my best efforts.
All that I have must be returned to my wife Rosalie, to be distributed as she wills among our children and family. Should she be unable to do so, let the closest next of kin administer my possessions for Kes till she's of age.
If my body can be reclaimed, I wish to be put to rest within the grounds of the Redkeep.
Rise above.

Relationship Note on Daemon
We have, both Godsworn and not, all made our vows and chosen to follow your command. Yours is not a solitary burden, nor are you expected to do everything. Command is yours, but it is also to us in turn to see our oaths to Gods and Compact fulfilled.
We stand with you, Sir Daemon. Not behind judging your every move.

Butter the biscuits and call me a nervous Nancy, because I certainly am two shakes from a shivering stalk.
Proper command of Solace's forces for the first time in... ever, I think. At least for a cause so righteous and significant. I'm eternally grateful for the trust placed in me but I'd be remiss if I wasn't honest about my anxiety. Maybe I should lay off the sweets for the next few weeks.

And where are you planning on being buried?
In case one might want to pay their respects.

I'm not a fan of writing these, but credit is where it's due. And damnit if I'm not tired from the amount of work I've put in lately because of it. There's few things in this wretched ball of mud that we call life that I find worth valuing. At least vocally, but putting up a clinic? That's damn good work. It's not much, but it's something, and it's effort well spent.
So. You know who you are that helped and I'm not beyond telling someone good job when they did just that. For what it's worth, got my respect for it.

People seem to be rather grimly assuming that the battle for the Lodge is upon us.
I will be participating in my own way, though likely out of any great danger. So for those who will be fighting, Petrichor guide your path, Gloria guide your hand and Gild guide you home.

Relationship Note on Fredrik
In the event of my death, all my stuff goes to Count Fredrik RedTyde to do with as he sees fit. He's better at sorting crap out than I am.
And no, I don't plan on meeting an untimely end. So don't fret.

My brother did a portrait of us, all us siblings together, and its absolutely marvellous. Artistically, of course, but touching too. I think I almost cried. Almost, mind you!

Relationship Note on Rosalie
I can do little else but speak remarkably highly about Lady Rosalie Redtyde and her ability to take burdens off my shoulders. The lady has been terribly kind in doing House Champagne the honour and providing her time in a number of ways, but not least of all in arranging our events, both internal and external. I look forward to all dinners and extravaganzas under her purview.
