Relationship Note on Fatima
During the cold nights in the Maelstrom as children we were dependent on each other. It was never easy with a father executed as a traitor and a mother who abandoned us. Forged in cold fire the rigors of the Salt life has shaped who we are. I do not regret those days because of hard circumstance hard people are made. Survivors.
But it has never cracked the foundation of what we are. Brother and sister. We have forged an unconditional bond that is a support structure for whatever comes.

I have always been about blood and singularly focused on a name. The power of love and kinship goes beyond letters arrayed together in a common order.
My siblings will always have a protector in their Warlord brother.

Relationship Note on Alis
The time we spent squiring together, well, we kinda fit. And if we hadn't fit, I'm pretty sure the rest of the squires would've made us. I'm barely taller than her. So they dubbed us the small squad and we made sure that our nickname of tiny terrors was well-earned. Flail and polearm, you avoid one you'll fall to the other.
Now we're in Arx, and she's been raised as a Voice of Valardin. Well-deserved, so. But she's still the Princess I knew - and once she heard I was comitting myself to the armoursmith's craft, she reached out to me and offered me patronage.
I accepted immediately, of course. And I hope that I can continue to do her proud.

I went with Princess Reese, Leola, Lady Khanne and some others recruited for the effort to search out the blight in the Gray forest. We found it, and signs, throughout the day, of the Nox'alfar playing tricks, having moved some markers Leola had left. The place itself was terribly desolate and quiet, with poor wretched, twisted trees and dirt like ash. I took samples of the soil, though the ones I tested there proved... less than fascinating. The dirt was dead, but there was no sign of a corrupting presence, toxin, or other substance in it. Our conclusion was that these are merely the places Brand traveled, draining the life with his passage, but no more. Beneath a certain depth the soil seemed unaffected, so things could be regrown.
The time it took us to travel there and back, however, was enough for the sun to set and the elves to descend upon us. We ran, or rode rather, which I hated, to flee them, and it was the most terrifying I have ever experienced. The sang riddles and taunts, had set traps for us, and one threw a dead bird at me, knocking me from my horse in fright and surprise, and another threw *spiders* in my face. It's fortunate I didn't pass out then and there. The others managed to... I don't know, keep a perimeter, and Leola helped me on her mount, and we rode off, though they showered us with arrows as we fled. I think everyone was hit in some way or another, myself in the hand, and Leola in her back. I've been tending to it, and it seems as though it will heal with full function, though you will forgive me if my handwriting is sloppy for this entry.

And yet I swear my list keeps growing. All the things I /should/ record for other explorers. The things necessary to give context to what we might find out there. I sometimes wonder if what I'll be remembered for generations from now -- if I'm remembered at all -- isn't my explorations, but rather all these tomes I keep taking to poor Sister Gisele to illuminate and bind.
And still, the number of topics on which I could write feels like it grows every passing day. (Admittedly, the percentage of those with no ominous implications also seems to shrink...)

Even as the Tower fills with new family, I long for you and Simone and Dulcinea to be here to greet them with me. Return soon, and safely.

To those who quietly served, fought, supported and scarified without grand notice, what you have graciously given to all of us is not what is engraved in stone monuments, issued in ornate medals, or offered at elegant parties with grand speeches. Your generous gifts are what is woven into the fabric of our city and the lives of others.
Gratitude.

Maybe now that you're done funding bird sanctuaries you can get to that next!

They're the first birds to move into the aviary at the menagerie, which is still under construction.
This is exciting! Thank you Magpie Grayhope!

Currently I am working on a white pearlescent owl mask. It not finished yet. It will be my finest mask yet. But it is tons of work! When i am finished it will go in my shop.
My shop features at the moment silk dresses, silk cloaks, silk slippers, wool slippers, wool cloaks, linen dresses, masks, bloomers, thigh highs, wood gloves lined with fur for warmth, meads (including a new flavor) and flowers - lots of flowers. I like flowers.
It is more fun to make what I want and put that in my shop. I think it is freeing to the artist to craft and make away as they so desire.
I have planned to (hopefully soon) put up bathing smocks, fur lined winter boots and male tunics and trousers. My men clothing sales out quickly, but I want get more up. They I want some autumnal colored clothing up and some woolen dresses for the colder months. We will see. It is a lot I need to make. I need to find more help for my shop.
Although Tallius, Leta, Merek and even Princess Valencia have helped in my shop. Can you imagine that a princess helping to make clothing? It is true!
