Relationship Note on Sabella
A bit of a correction is needed. The Black Cherry and Black Currant wine has actually been produced in quantities. Only one bottle has been given out so far, to Lord Jophiel, with the exception of the one I gave out last evening for the raffle.
The remaining bottles will be made available during the Wine Extravaganza we're holding next month, along with a quantity of other wines we'll be releasing. I do not want whomever got the willow basket to be upset when more wine is released. We've been waiting for the vintners to send over more than the handful of advanced bottles they've already sent to the house.
But, for now, the wine is very rare. When it is released, it will still be rare, just not as rare as it is right now. There will only be 20 bottles of it, in totality.

Oh, a Will. I guess I'll write one of those:
In the event of my untimely death:
- Wish to be buried with however much silver I had on me and is within my personal bank acount.
- Any social or military favors or writs or economic debts or promises, may be turned over to my patron: Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa for the betterment of the Lyceum.
- I wish to be buried in a specific dress -- it'll be tucked away in my wardrobe.
- I wish to be buried with all of my weapons save for a specific dagger-- Audric knows which one.
- My armor may go to whoever Audric feels has need of it.
- My silks, dresses, perfumes, or other worldly things Audric may distribute or hoard however he pleases.
Note to self: Be sure to design and have made our Burial Dress before the month is up.

There's nothing like stealing a few quiet moments to yourself in the woods, with no one around you but those closest to your heart, or your spirit.
I love you.

The Catharsis saw a surprising amount of participation. It also saw no sudden deaths, no breaking of furniture, nor spontaneous fires breaking out within the Ward.
On a completely unrelated note, the purified formula for the Foolsbane seems to have had immediate effect.

Full disclosure. I don't know what one is. I heard a squire call another squire that one day when they were having an argument, so I just thought it was an insult the kids are using these days.

I'm writing to thank the other Summer Splashfest hosts, His Majesty, King Alaric and my cousin, Lady Kalani, and, of course, the guests who made the whole affair fun and memorable.
Of note: Sir Jeffeth, champion of the log-rolling contest; Calandra Whisper, winner of the diving splash contest with her singing swan dive; Grandmaster Caspian, winner of the swim race.
Grandmaster Caspian, also, notably placed in each of the three events - indubitably Grandmaster of the Terrace Pools.
And additional and continued thanks to His Majesty for allowing us into the Palace for this gathering. A truly bright spot as we prepare for the coming conflict.
Thank you to everyone and see you next year!

I put the final touches on "Lady Amari's Assortment of Adventure Apparel and Accoutrements" raffle prize box and had it delivered it to Princess Sabella earlier. Some of the items took longer than I expected and I kept wanting to add more, but time ran out and I couldn't even fit some of them into the box already (I could possibly have jammed the camp stool in, but it might have mushed up the blackberry spice cake. There was no hope at all of fitting the spear in, unfortunately). I hope whoever wins it really likes the wilderness (and foxes)!
As fun as designing everything and putting it all together was with the help of various tailors, apothecaries, leatherworkers, bakers, brewers, woodworkers and smiths, it was a lot of work. I might have underestimated the amount of effort and time that would be required. The fine crafters and artists of Arx make it all look so easy!
I'm happy anyway that I've done something that will help the Lodge. Remember to purchase your tickets!

When is overwhelmed with duty, and cannot indulge in the usual pasttimes of stress relief one is accustomed to because of lack of time...it is amazing how much joy can be found in the pleasure of a small and perhaps silly gift to ones you love. Thankfully my gift giving ability has improved since the time of slipping a sleepy fat toad I caught myself into the chair of my favorite tutor, or bribing Cook to bake onions into one tart instead of apples (though now that I think on it, it was probably still delicious), or the silly wilted flower chain presented shyly to an admired cousin. May the gods bless those who aid us in bringing a smile to those most dear, and in lightening my heart this day.

I don't mean to play favorites with things that have been donated, but I just took a look at the shadowfox fur umbra cloak that Lady Amari donated and...
I'm glad the party is tonight because otherwise one might see me wearing all of these things out and about.
It's is SO LOVELY!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!
One could wear it while exploring the forests or perhaps hunting for fish fingers. Finger fish? I feel like I might be misreading how fishing works from a few white entries.
There's still time to buy raffle tickets! Send your messengers!

I think Champion Bliss has made some very important and salient points about this "Catharsis."
I feel I should perhaps clarify that if anyone would hesitate to speak thier mind about how they feel about me at the event and that I might challenge them later, let me offer this reassurance.
I believe people's opinions are a sacrosanct thing and I will never seek to challenge you for expressing your own, especially in a forum that is meant to be where you can express your thoughts freely. I do not believe there even needs to be a special event for you to do so. I think the pages of our White Journals should be such a place.
So in summation if you wish to write, or say, "I think Prince Edain Valardin is a self righteous pile of horseshit, sculpted into a stupid, stupid, assgoblin" then I support your right to hold such an opinion.

Dame Esoka cooks an excellent catfish, though you may already know this.
It came from where the river runs through the Lowers though, so best not to think too much about how tasty it was.

Lottie's Place had this great green cloak and a red coat - I bought them both. My old ratty cloak and coat just won't cut it any longer and I'm very happy to have found those - I'm no expert, but I can tell they're extremely well crafted and will last me for years. I've also bought some items off of Petal a few weeks back, so now I can't get away with wearing my armor everywhere any longer. Damn it.
