Relationship Note on Victus
His Red Serpent is huge. He is so very proud of it and does quite like to show it to me whenever he has the chance. I've even gotten to ride on it. I was suitably impressed. It's the best I've ever seen and I've seen a few. Would that all could see his Red Serpent and take a ride on it as well.
The scribe is laughing.
Good. Means I did this right.

My friend,
My glimmer of hope, my flicker of optimism. There are so many questions that I would ask you, but - oh - I have no wish to drown you in my overflowing curiosity. Over and over again, I run the questions through my mind - count them - and realize that I need to select a few. A couple. The most important ones to ask. In my mind and in my heart these two questions are the most crystal clear: how important are you to me? How can I help you the most? I would chance the answer to the first is: so very much. You are the presence of a hand held, a voice heard, and a smile felt.
From the past to the present, I have wondered; what do you see? Do you remember how I tried to push you away? I reflect on those mistakes. How that regret pains me so. I am glad that you have looked past my fears, and have taken the time for me -- thank you.
Always,
C.

It's in their nature. Idiots should be wise to that fact before poking at a bear and crying when the bear attacks. Don't poke bears. They're territorial and who likes to be poked in the back? No one.
You have the right of it, Aunt.

I will never forget the sound of that song. Haunting and beautiful all in one. It made me feel things I didn't think I was truly capable of.
Despite the distracting, alluring songs, I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement. No reports of further injury and no intense desires to return. Not immediately anyways, I'd still like to go back. I think that means it was a success.
This new normal keeps getting stranger and stranger.

I still remember those many years back, a small eternity now that it seems, when you didn't come back.
Valeria's sword did, but you didn't. I've never forgiven you for it and I don't know if Fergus ever will either.
You and mother were the same in that; no bodies returning home for your children's final farewell.
The past few weeks I've poured over my maps I've constructed over my years scouting the Northlands, helping to plan with our allies to plot the course of Farhaven's newest military endeavor. The banners have been called, Vassals rallied, and to the snows we march once again.
The estate has been a tempest of activity in preparation, but even in the flurry I still only think what if I follow the example set?
Of the Spirits I ask send home only my axes, hang them in the Halls and carve my name upon the stone.
I am my father's daughter, one of Torrud's Brood, and I daresay I do not deserve the honor if he never was.

It's a shaky position, when you have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground.
Just keep going. That's the secret of life.
... that, and shiny jewels.

If we had just gone where the thing pointed instead of fighting over who gets to see if it's magic (surprise, guys, it's magic, it came from a fucking magic island) we could have probably found a bunch more weapons by now.

Relationship Note on Victus
By his journals, Prince Victus seems most dedicated and devout. Having heard from the Seraph of the Palace of his words and deeds, there is a part of me that wishes the Faith had managed to claim him rather than his duties to his family. If his cousin is anything to go by, we would have gained a champion without equal.

The matter of the Inquisition's secularization is far more complicated than being a simple 'betrayal' or a mere 'grasp for power'. That matter is, however, ancient history with little bearing on our future. In spite of that history, the leadership of today's Inquisition enjoys a strong working relationship with the Dominus, the Legate of Concepts, and many of the Faith's Archlectors. It is my sincerest hope that in time, that relationship will lead to a steady rapport between other members of the Church and the House of Questions.
We will remain an instrument of the Crown, charged with investigating serious crimes and threats that affect the people of Arvum. It does not matter if those threats are magical or mundane, foreign or Abyssal, at home or afar. Unlike our cousins in Eurus, we Arvani are blessed by the gods to live free. As long as we remain vigilant, we will remain so.
To those we have not had the pleasure of speaking or working with: the Inquisition gives its aid freely in these matters. Any citizen may reach out to me, be it for investigatory or research assistance, advice or guidance, or help finding like-minded souls.
In service,
Master of Questions Laric Grayson

You say those words, but I don't believe them. My image of you as a queen of ice lording over a bunch of stonefaced knights still seems a lot funnier to me. But regardless, yeah I'll probably be there. Free food after all.

I swear I'm not averse to many kinds of fun. I had fun on the Red Serpent that day, after all. And I don't have a moral objection to parties, they just tend not to be my thing. But having spoken to your wife, and considering she is helping me with my small tactical amusement, I expect I'll see you there. It's a little thing, probably not funny to anyone but me, but I'm pretty okay with that.

Final note for today since a proclamation seems a little much:
The Embassy of the Waves is officially open in the Maelstrom. Those of you who wish to parley with our new Elven friends I'm afraid will have to make the journey to the Mourning Isles, but I promise the lot of us don't bite.
Really though, I'd invite everyone into that little place if you'd all fit. It's a beautiful thing. Desires for meeting can be sent directly to our own diplomats managing the Embassy itself, but I can't promise that the Marin'alfar will always be available given our fight.
